Note Pyramid
Be Delicious Latte Matcha Body Mist 250ml
Green tea is the material that makes Donna Karan Be Delicious Latte Matcha Body Mist 250ml worth picking up, and it is not a note you meet often in a body spray.
The tea note is dry and slightly bitter rather than sweet, closer to leaves steeping than to anything bottled, and it sits at the centre of the composition. Around it, mandarin orange gives a soft sweet citrus, pink pepper adds a dry sparkle without heat, and apple brings a crisp juiciness to the opening. Jasmine and rose warm the middle, the jasmine full and soft, the rose gentler and a little powdery, and the two keep the tea from reading as austere. Sandalwood, amber and musk sit underneath, creamy, warm and skin like in that order, giving the mist something to hold onto.
As a body mist it is designed for generous, casual use. It goes on after a shower or over clothes, scents the skin lightly for an hour or two, and is meant to be refreshed rather than rationed. It will not behave like a perfume and it is not formulated to. Used as the light thing it is, it is one of the more interesting products in its category.
The 250ml bottle suits that habit and is better kept on a shelf than carried about. It reads as feminine, it suits warm weather and daytime, and it is an easy choice for a gym bag or for anyone who likes a light scent they can top up through the day. The tea note is what stops it smelling like every other mist on the shelf.
Donna Karan's label started in New York in 1984, after she had designed for Anne Klein, and it became known for jersey, muted colour and the bodysuit. The Be Delicious line has been running since 2004, and all the fragrances are made under licence.
