No-one could accuse this scent of being complex. It looks like a green apple and it smells like a green apple. On a hot day I put it on, walk into my place of work, people hug me, people smile, and everybody says 'You smell of apples!'
I love the freshness of it, tart and crisp, but without those sharp edged notes so cold they give you an ice-cream headache just above the eyes.
My need for a story should make this a reallly dull apple compared to the fairy tale of Cartier's Delices or Nina Ricci's winsome little red. But the truth is, they all seem to be trying too hard. This is an apple, beautifully reconstructed, so simple it shouldn't be such a gorgeous every day perfume. But it is!

This is delightful. I absolutely love the way it smells on me. Fresh, crisp, sweet but not overly so... This scent compliments my personal scent very well. I like Red Delicious too, but not nearly as much as Be Delicious.
05/17/09 16:40:39
This was by far better than Red Delicious. Whereas Red Delicious was sharp and chemical-like, this was more soft with hints of magnolia and apple. I would only buy it though if it were cheap or as a gift, not special enough to spend a big amount on.

Apple is not one of my favourite fruits and I tried this while wainting for my best friend ( who's always late)and sister to arrive .Simply out of boredom.
As I thought this would smell....borring green apple...I'm sick of finding aplle in all scents!
BUUUT...this is acctually a very upbeat refreshing apple fragrance!!I hate the artificial smell of apple, but here it's not so noticeable...
This starts liquidic freshness of crisp cucumber that slightly is overshadowed by a floral tartness.
What I like most is the perssistent smell remaining of the violet-rose-wood mix with drippings of breezy freshness!
I'm glad it's not deliciously ...but slightlly tart...Be Delicious is anything but sweet and that's what I like!

On me, this is sorely unremarkable, a one-dimensional and barely even apple sort of smell. On another woman, I smelled this and was captivated! Just goes to show... skin chemistry can be quite a bitch.
04/25/09 12:42:10
i was obsessed with this perfume, then i got it, a 125 mL bottle. result: got bored of it and gave to my grandma ;P
still a good fragrance, i love smelling it on my grandma, it just wasn't right for me...

It makes me fell young and delicious.Great for spring and summer.I love it.
04/11/09 08:52:28
this is the best warm weather perfume! its very fresh and fruity..
03/25/09 14:01:19
This is going to get lots of wear this spring and summer. I love the greenness at first that this opens with. then it becomes so soft and appleish, candish on my skin. Makes me think of warm weather, wearing tank tops and flip flops. This is a keeper in my collection
03/23/09 18:32:56
Fresh apples, with the emphasis on fresh. "Be Delicious" smells young, energetic, and clean. I like this, but it smells like 1,000 other fresh fruity perfumes right now. "Be Delicious Night" is my favorite iteration of this scent, because it isn't so ordinary.
03/22/09 14:15:37
my friend usually hates my taste in perfumes. but when i used this one day and she was able to get a whiff of this, she suddenly screamed "hey you smell nice today!" and hurriedly scavenged my bag for this bottle.
this scent is a balance of sweetness and freshness, that's why we both agreed (Finally) on a fragrance! :D
i love this scent :)

i expected this to be a strong, tart apple scent but the apple is actually quite light in here--weak and watery. the cucumber is very noticeable, and the woody notes are subtle but still there. actually, i can hardly even smell apple in this perfume. it is mostly overshadowed by the cucumber--hmm, maybe it's just with my body chemistry? well anyway, overall this is a nice scent--just okay--but not quite what i thought it would be. i actually kind of think it's boring. this would be great for someone whose just starting with perfumes and wanted a simple scent.
03/11/09 19:17:27
Its awful! Way too weak, but smells horrendus in warmer weather. Yuk!
03/01/09 01:01:06
I love anything with cucumber notes, and this one didn't disappoint. A nice light fruity fragrance. It isn't in my top 5, but great for spring/summer. I don't really smell any wood/musk notes though.
02/27/09 10:42:35
More and more I smell it,more and more I like it...
02/24/09 13:16:47
Gigantic sillage, DO NOT wear in confined spaces. I smell it absolutely everywhere, although less so the last year maybe; I hope this signals its demise. Along with D&G Light Blue, this is one of the few scents I cannot stand on others, even.
Anyway, the scent itself: Aggressively fruity and citrusy-sharp - instant headache potion. Repugnant. Doesn't change much over time, though the most offensively sharp top notes do mellow ever so slightly. My observational powers are compromised by the blinding headache this one gives me.

Interesting, smells like cucumber and apple on me. I faintly detect some flowers with something woody through it. Nice for spring/summer I think. Apple with some time is growing more powerful. I love apples. Dries down nice, to soft fresh woody apple. Quite strong and has good staying power. Reminds me how Moschino Hippy Fizz smells on my friend.
02/07/09 09:21:33
I love this fragrance..its absolutely gorgeous and delicious and i get loads of compliments when im wearing it! its not so 'appley' on my skin, more woody. Lasts for ages which is great!
02/06/09 14:24:28
A little too crisp smelling for me. I think it's good for casual wear or in the warmer months.
02/03/09 18:59:50
on of my all time favorites... fruity really and so simple and lasting!!!^_^ xoxo
01/17/09 12:02:32
Be Delicious is an interesting mix of fruity, floral and woody notes. I find it a bit mysterious as it reveals its complex, multiple layers slowly and sensually throughout the day. It's delightfully fresh and youthful (and really long-lasting), not "in yer face" at all which makes it a good choice for both work and leisure time. One of my favourite scents right now, definitely!
01/15/09 10:09:59
I liked it,is very simple and casual but nice (has staying power).:)
01/14/09 17:31:21
this is something a 14 year old girl would wear. Such a "simple" perfume
01/04/09 14:23:39
It is the worst perfume I've ever smelt. Makes me wanna puke :-( .Too bad my brother has the masculine version of it...
01/01/09 04:00:55
I sampled this in Macy's today & at first I absolutely adored it but now (only 2 hours later)it just smells like a cheap apple body spray.All the woodsy notes have gone & left only sweet cheap smelling apple.
Its so sad too cause I really did like it at first.Maybe I just sprayed to many perfumes??????

This has a great lasting scent and reminds me of a trip to the apple orchard and how sweet and crisp the Macintoshes smell in their natural setting.
Also has a bit of a melony-cucumber scent that is fresh and energizing.

I've had two bottles of this and I wear it only occasionally, when I want something uplifting and fruity. An everyday perfume more than a evening out. I do find a lot of girls wear this tho and for me this makes it less special.
10/29/08 12:18:54
Really fresh and energetic.Long lasting,
Just 2spray is enough for me.Bottle design and the scent is well matching.At first sniff,it's a green apple.
I love this one.But it's too popular in my country.I can smell it everyday from the other! This one remind me of CK one,
in term of "popular"

It may be called Be Delicious, but for me not delicious enough to wear. First thing - simple apple juice, nothing to remember, second - dissapears quickly (a good thing in my case), third - in my country, it became so popular that even if I liked it, I wouldnt buy it because every other girl has this one.
Plain summer water.

That's one of my autumn scents!I like the woody and musk notes in it.It's feminine... and very long lasting on me.
10/17/08 14:25:18
this one is simply gorgeous!!! the staying power is fantastic and the scent is heavenly delicious! the name says it all.
10/17/08 13:46:00
Nice apple scent.
10/17/08 05:57:24
I really loved this until I bought my own bottle, not sure why but it has ended up sitting on the shelf barely used, perhaps I should give it another try, I think maybe it's just not unique enough to get much wear, it's just not one that I ever seem to reach for anymore
10/04/08 15:48:52
The first week I used it, I really loved the smell, but it isn't special enough for me. But I do like it on other people.
10/04/08 13:45:09
Almost 50 percent of women in big cities smells like this parfume. Nothing special, nothing delicious...
09/28/08 23:02:41
I DIDN'T LIKE THIS PERFUME AT ALL WHEN I SPRAYED IT ON IT SMELLED LIKE CUCUMBER WHICH I DISLIKE WITH A PASSION I BET THE RED ONE SMELLS BETTER
09/28/08 21:44:55
At first when i smelt this perfume i thought it was so amazing. Now after almost completing my second bottle i'm so disenchanted with this fragrance. When i spray it now it smells like weeds, or onions or something bushy. I've never been so over a fragrance like i am with this one.
09/25/08 12:16:39
Cheap smell, like a bad apple. I've used it to freshen up my bathroom till I found someone who was willing to take it from me.
It goes sour with the sweat and heat around here, so most women who use it smell rotten.

It is delicious, testing this, wanted to test with warmer weather, but it is cold here already all days of august.
The citrus scent comes up most at start.
Than it turns to apple, magnolia and more, smells green and fresh, very well on my skin.
Sure a scent I could buy too.

ive been using it for 2 years and i loved it, but then i got a bit bored of it, but i still like on others when i smell it.
08/25/08 08:34:06
lots of apple but i didn´t try it on my skin...it reminds me of some other parfum i ´ve had before, maybe one that was called babylone or somethin like that
08/22/08 14:34:26
I was intrigued by the apple, I like it very much... but on me, it smells synthetic. I don't like it, I find it a little bit disturbing and apple notes do not develop on my skin at all.
08/09/08 04:16:34
i love it when i smell it on others but it just doesnt smell right on me.. to appley
07/02/08 01:19:54
Today, I got a new sample of it and it smells far better than the one I had at home - mine was already expired! You have to watch out because in most perfumeries, it doesn't smell good anymore.
06/30/08 12:28:04
I used it as a strong perfume in summer but it could be used as a fresh-fruity winter perfume.
06/30/08 12:15:01
I have to make correction on my last comment! I sprayed some of this on me this morning and realized that it does have a very woody touch to it, as opposed to what I said before. Juicy, woody, delicious.
01/13/08 11:31:38
Strangely enough, most apple scents and tastes make me cringe; I don't even like eating apples! But I love this scent, recently got it as a gift for christmas. It's definitely delicious - I wouldn't say it's a woody musk scent as it states here, but more of a light, strongly juicy perfume with a hint of flowers and a punch of fruit.
01/06/08 05:50:52
its very delicious!!! apple favor n flowerly~~~~~ everybody wnna bite u!!!!
dont worry~~ its not da 1 hold in snowwhite's hand!
