DKNY Be Delicious Donna Karan for women

are you sure this was made in 2009? I remember a friend of mine had this when i was 18 and that was 2006

Okay, this is slightly embarrassing, but I have been wearing this on a consistent basis for the past 7 years. It was literally love at first sniff. This was probably my first fragrance purchase that didn't require a "think it over" period. I knew this was me. I was instantly smitten by its fruity, watery, lightly floral freshness. It sounds incredibly cheesy, but it was like biting into a fresh, juicy, green apple on a warm, spring day. Since my first Be Delicious purchase, I have tried many other perfumes. I have come to the realization that while there may be many different perfumes that I enjoy smelling - from the extremely gourmand to the orientals - there are few things that I actually want to smell LIKE. For me, this strikes the right balance of citrusy freshness, fruitiness, and floral. Yes, I have strayed at times, but I always come back to it. Oh yeah, and might I add that I have NEVER encountered anyone who didn't like it (or if I have, they weren't vocal about it). I get a TON of compliments when I wear this - everyone from a former co-worker, to a random guy in a restaurant, a relative of mine in her mid-fifties, and my friends have complimented me. And they aren't just the generic, "You smell nice" compliments. I've gotten, "What are you wearing?? I really like it!", "You always smell SO good!", or "You smell so clean and fresh!" I generally wear perfume for myself, not to receive compliments, but I still appreciate them, and it's a major plus that others aren't offended by the smell of this. I don't find the staying power to be outstanding, but I have applied it in the morning and still gotten complimented on how I smell at the very end of the day. Also, I do love the packaging, but have noticed that the atomizer is not the best quality and can be slightly difficult to spray after a lot of use. But other than that, after all these years, I still love this perfume.

cucumber.. very fresh.. n then the apple kicks in, love the flowers notes later on. it dries down nice, just enough sweetness.

Delicious fresh cut green apples - I love it ..
so young & it has a character ,, not cheap or boring .

C'mon, that's hair shampoo smell.

I really don't get Maurice Roucel.

I dont get so much apple! I get really much cucumber. A little bit to much. But i love hvis fragance. The grapefruit is lovley <3

Bought this for my Best Friend she LOVES IT !! I love it too ! great everyday scent :) it is fresh light fruity with a hint of floral.

This perfume smells like wet, watery perfumed apples. I’m on the fence with this one. It’s nice but there is one note that makes this perfume smell a bit TOO bitter.
It definitely smells fresh, and would be lovely for summer. But it’s just not special enough to rave about. I don’t think (and correct me if I’m wrong) there were many apple scents on the commercial market before this came out so, it’s nice to be able to experience that, I just think the “perfumey” side needs to be toned down a bit.
I can really smell the cucumber too which is what’s giving this the watery fresh vibe.

Hmm...I wouldn’t buy it

Lovely common scent that basically smells like your favorite bath and body works shower gel all day.
Not offensive at all, would be wonderful on someone else. Not interesting enough for me.

It's a nice perfume, but it's too watery for me.
The only thing I smell is very strong apple and a watery smell.
It's not really special. And in my oppinion not worthy of your money, you might as well rub an apple on your chest, and you get the same smell

This is a joyous perfume,fresh, sweet, and fruity. love it.

I bought this for my sister years ago when the fragrance was first launched and recently discovered it again. I am pleased to say it smells just as good years later! although this perfume has the light sweet joyous quality one usually associates with spring, this to me is pure fall. The tart apple and crisp cucumber a reminiscent of clean fresh air on a cool fall day and crunch of dead leaves beneath your feet. This perfume also has an aquatic quality to it which is lovely with the apple, at first it smells a bit too sweet (at least for me) but the cool freshness prevents it from being overpowering.

overall a very nice perfume, staying power on me is not impressive, but that seems to be pretty normal for me, i seem to absorb them, lol

Hi,recently i just bought for my gal, and we can't manage to use it?is there any 'secret' button to turn it on cause we was trying to press the button a lot of times but still cant wear it.
is there any 1 facing this kind of problem before?
any recommend? or my luck was bad bought a spoil 1.

I love it during the summer and spring! It really does smell delicious lol That sweet apple, cool cucumber, and exotic amber really dance on my skin. Masterful :)

i love this perfume ! It may starts out a bit strong in the beginning with green apple but it keeps smelling better as time pass :)

I tried to like this but I just don't get it, to me it smells like air fresher, too clean and synthetic :(. Not for me but each to his own!

Lovely scent but its too common

just got this one today.i get the sour green apple right away,then the light floral mingled with fresh cut cucumbers,finally a cool cucumber musky scent.this is not an offensive scent for me.it is both clean and fresh smelling.barely any floral witch i like as i am overly sensitive to them.i find it very unoffensive and pleasant. it is however not a signature scent for myself.though i will wear it again.i give it an easy 7 out of 10.

Himmed and Hawed about this fragrance soo many times .. wanted to purcahse, but always thought it was way too expensive!
Soooo... today went into the local drugstore, and found the 50ml giftset with the 100ml lotion.. it was on sale for 45.00!! BUT got an additional 10 bucks off!! It was simple.. right time to say "charge it!" lol... deffintly happy i own it now.. just cant wait till sring/summer to wear it.. but then again... i would still wear it in the dead of winter as a pick me up! YAY!!

DKNY Be DeLiCiouS

It's Tempting,It makes ur mouth water and it's Simple...

The perfume stays so long that i wish other perfumes learn from it...
It's a simple girly perfume which is Balanced correctly between watery and fruity but it does make u think green just like the bottle...

It's not sex...it's not love...It's a Sweet crush that comes to your mind when u sniff it on someone...
It's Wierdly Cute...

Blush On!! :)

Very fresh and clean. Should be worn in the spring or summer as a crisp, bright, daytime scent. This is also non-offending in an office or elevator. I think it's sweet smelling, but not sticky sweet or gourmand. I get the apple, but mixed with the florals it isn't the lingering note. It's one of those that I wore quite a bit in my late teens and outgrew but am rediscovering as I hit my late twenties.

i just bought this today based on your guys reviews (and one brief in store sniffing) i <3 it!!!!!!!!!

I like this scent a lot. For a fruity fragrance, it is one of the best. It doesn't smell really synthetic like many others of its kind and one spritz makes you feel refreshed. Only downside is it's on the pricy end of the spectrum.

By far the longest lasting fruity fragrance I own. Be Delicious really smells like Granny Smith apples! Can smell a little sour at first, but is really juicy, and the freshness lasts well into the drydown. This fragrance is best suited for casual days, for White Shirt and Jeans type of days.

I've been wanting this perfume FOREVER! And my boyfriend got it for me for christmas, and i was sooo excited. The next day I sprayed it all over me and went to work, the girls I work with all said I smelled amazing! I <3 this perfume, it's amazing. Not something you'd wear partying or at night, it's a light and fruity scent.

I had this perfume a long time ago and I liked it then.It's fruity and juicy, neither sexy, nor sweet.
Actually,it is a good one in its category but if you are not fond of apples,it's not worth trying.

When this fragrance first debuted, I wasn't wowed about it-except for the bottle-cause I'm not an apple fragrance fan. But now, I'm craving this fragrance. I really like how it smells on me, it's the cucumber-and it's weird cause I don't like cucumber scents that much either. The cucumber smells sensuous in here though, and I really like it! This fragrance makes me feel stylish and sexy, and it's a key scent in my fragrance arsenal now. I also don't get any apple, which is fine with me cause apple bores me anyway.

I smelt it in a store and if you want to smell like a greeen apple, go for it. I thought it was nice and fresh and first but you might as well be chewing a piece of green apple gum because thats all your going to get scent wise.

Headache central! I had to give it away to my mom, unfortunately I couldn't stand being around her when she wore it.

For some reason this gives me a headache. I feel like it is a very stronge scent. My husband goes crazy over it, but I can't wear it. Another perfume I own that is just put away..

For me, this is definately a fragrance for the summer. It's really fresh and fruity. I love the smell of apples so this was perfect for me. Definitely one of my faves, and it lasts all day! I've had the same bottle for 3 years now and i still havn't ran out. Delicious indeed :)

i like it a lot.

the top notes i smell nothing except the cucumber.... which i dont care at all but it fades quickly so it doesn't bother me that much

but the heart notes are amazing... the flowers balances the sourness of the apple perfectly, it's fresh and delicate at the right amount. it makes me feel like i'm walking through an orchard on a sunny day, love it.

the base notes are awesome too, almost all of my perfumes have musk in it.

the longevity looks ok... about 4h... but i'm still testing it. I live in a very hot city so 4h for me it's a good longevity

Great smell! Fruity and fresh. I wear it together with the lotion and it's so long-lasting, but not to strong. I put it on in the morning and can still smell it in the evening. It makes me feel fresh and feminine all day. I'm thinking this is going to be my summer fragrance for the next summer, but I like wearing it now too.

edit:
I'm falling more and more for this perfume. It smells so soft and fresh. Makes me feel so good, fun and flirty but in a sophisticated way.

I found this scent to be fresh when I first visited it and was on the fence about adding it to my collection. A generous benefactor-type ex would shower me with new perfumes and gifted me this. I liked it, never loved it but soon grew to hate it. Every other woman I passed was wearing it that year and it soon became the first perfume I ever resented owning.

delicious as it sound..very fruity and fresh smell especially for daytime.Even my sons sprayed on a bit when they go to school :)

Every second woman used it about 5-7 years ago and still it's popular. As for me I never liked it, it remembered me of an apple air freshener from a Soviet period of my childhood. I was presented a bottle of this perfume and tried to "make friends" with this scent again. Ok, I can wear it, but only a 1-2 weak sprays and only in the cold days. May be the tuberose is superfluous there.

i like to wear it in the summer. It's very fresh and much better than Green Tea. It's more aktiv and cheerful. Not a masterpiece, but absolutely complete. I adore a smell of grass in parfume.

I loved it in high school and I'm thinking of re-visiting the old friend. I'm not very keen on the bottle... it is kinda cute though. it is not summery in my opinion, but it is a matter of skin&nose I guess. btw, it is sweeter than I remember, I tested again today.
p.s.:did it get reformulated? I swear all the 3 testers I tried smells different. the first one was sweet apples, the second was rotten apples and quite bitter, the third one was more sandalwood and apples; a balance, not so sweet,my "not so original" one (:)) smells like the last one I tried. all of them are not at all like I remember from the time when I used it:s I'm very confused right now....

for me the smell as like cucumber and little bet apple , i like it

This is one of my favorites! Delicious describes it well. It smells fresh and feminine. It does hit the mark conceptually by being crisp and slightly sweet, but not too sweet, like green apples.

Almost all people in every age love it but this one is not for me.It is strong apple scent and I think it is unisex perfume cause I can smell too much alcohol in it.

this is nice, it didnt last as long on my skin when i tested, and it smelled like flowery cardboard on my skin.
bad luck for me : haha!

Great fragrance. I love the whole Be Delicious line. The bottles are cute, and the perfumes are even better. Be Delicious is the only completely citrusy, fruity perfume I really like. For the under-30 crowd, definitely. Not too strong but not too subtle. It's fresh and innocent, without being tacky.

I am not mad about this scent, but I love the fact that my friend wore it ona night out and it lasted the whole night on her, she didn't re-apply it at all.

A perfume that does that has got my respect.

I love this fragrance in the summer months. It's sweet, sour and juicy although it does have a tendency to become sickly if too much is applied.

This lasts forever on me. I have to wash it off after 12 hours or so and I can still smell it lingering post-wash.

The bottle is adorable too.

This is a salad of sour granny smith apples, sliced cucumber, lemon juice for dressing, and sliced almonds to add some crunch. There is no almond essence here but I do get its nutty, fresh, almost woody scent. This is too crisp and clean for my taste. It is not "sterile", as in heartless, chemical smelling, that sort of thing. However, again, I don't like it because it is too fresh and innocent. I like an element of surprise in my fragrances and this does not excite me.

This perfume can be considered one citric scent.
It is the perfect combination of slightly bitter with softly sweet.
During much time I looked for a fresh, fruity and remarkable scent that could even though be wearing in the hottest days. Now I found it!

As a fan of crisp, clean, citrus type scents, this one is at the top of my 'love' list. I find that the citrus in this fragrance tends to mellow out on me rather quickly, so that the Apple, Lily of the Valley, and Cucumber come to the forefront.

I also find that this scent stays with me for a long, long time. As in, I put it 1-2 spritzes on at 5:30 in the morning and it was still present at bedtime, long.

This will be on my 'go to' list for as long as humanly possible! :-)

I don't like this.. Smells too sour and apply on me. It's also too strong. I couldn't stand it and gave it away to my cousin. On her it smells nice and flowery. Oh well :S

how was this launched in 2009? I bought my first bottle in 2005?? Ontopic: I like it, it's perfect for summer

I have tried it on a tester, and it didn't so smell bad then. Plus I liked the bottle a lot - it was so intriguing so as soon as I got my coupons to Ulta I bought it and was really disappointed as soon as I purchased - too cucumbery and flowery. The apple note disappeared too fast and the drydown was so heavy that it gave me a headache. I bought it because the notes didn't appeared to be heavy smelling but the actual smell is very heavy.

it is trueth: this perfume is fresh but sooooooooooo bitter. I didnt found apples and cucumbers in it. I wish i did... I was disappointed. Why I bought it without trying first....

One day I heard that Emma Watson wore this and I immediately bought it the next day. Lol not really. The bottle is so cute and it was so popular the first time they released this perfume.
At first I smelled it directly from the bottle, and my first review was: synthetic.
But then I sprayed it on my wrist... It smells better. This perfume is juicy, fresh, sweet, and nice. My boyfriend really loves it, he says it drives him crazy. I don't love it as much as he does, but I wear it every time I met him. If you like a fresh perfume, then go buy one.

Bought a bottle of EDP back in 2007, recently bought a bottle of EDT on sale.

The difference is shocking. I was surprised to read so many negative reviews, but I finally understand why.

I recall the EDP being a lovely, full-bodied fragrance. As expected with parfum, the dry-down was slow, and the fresh, almost tart, green apple scent lingered. There was eventually a beautiful and lingering transition into warm, yet crisp woods.

The EDT however, quickly dries down to a powdery cucumber and floral concoction - not dissimilar to spray-on anti-persperant found in the health isle at the supermarket.

Thus, my allegiances remain with the EDP I have such fond memories of from years yonder, and it will remain one of my favourites.

Unfortunately, I cannot say the same for the new line of EDT.

Usually I'm VERY tolerant to other people perfume choice, but this is a special case... I cannot even stay around the person who uses this.
It is absolutely horrible - synthetic apple,cheap freshness,green-ish too death,toilet-cleaner-like.

I appologize to whom this sounded harsh, but this is my forever #1 in "Worst scents of all times".

Kind of like a re-make of Gucci Envy. If you like it, a better and longer lasting option would be Nina by Nina Ricci--that smells better and lasts longer too.

For me, Be Delicious is a nice year round scent. In hotter months I use this alone but in colder months, I mix this with another woodier fragrance to create a scent that's uniquely me. I like it a lot. Opens cleanly with the scent of apples, cucumber and green tea. On me it lingers there a long time before settling into this warm woody scent that maintains a flowery freshness. Quite pleasant but can be overwhelming if too much is applied. Still recommend though.

Lovely, light scent but very weak. It fades way too quickly, just like Red Delicious. Love the bottles, though.

It's just acool,fresh perfume,with no particular identity,safe for daytime.

Very clean scent of apples. Feels very fresh and lasts all day. I got bored wearing it after a while, though, since EVERYBODY wore it.

This is the first perfume I bought after my first child was born and it was perfect. It was like taking a walk early in the morning during spring when magnolias bloom, when you come home for some reason your kitchen smells like lemon. But you decide to have a big juicy apple and as you sit with the baby to enjoy it you still smell faint flowers and air that lingers with you throughout the day. It was bright, energetic, and happy. But in the end it was too much apple, sweet flowers, and amber not really blending with my skin. It stayed separate from me. I gave it to my sister who fell in love with it not too soon after she had my nephew:) Some kind of weird coincidence I'm sure.

This is a great perfume. It basically smells of green apple. It has great silage. I wear this often. Not sure if I would repurchase though.

I got a bottle of this as a present. I like it, but it is quite heavy, and I can understand some people find it irritating and too much.
It is a very recognizable scent; I have smelled this in stores and in the supermarket, so I guess it's a popular fragrance.
It isn't the most sophisticated perfume around, in my opinion, but it's a nice, fresh scent to wear during the day. And it sure smells like apples!

This is best of the best! I really like this so much...Heavenly Fruity Scent. This is my signature scent to my significant... I feel like something missin in me whenver i dont spray it on me.
If youre a fruity lover u deffo gonna have this BE DELICOUS.

This was my scent for two years and now, I am on the search for a new one. But it was wonderful, fresh, fruity, chic and very pleasant to those around me. :)

Lovely. Sweet, flirty and fresh. A good choice for young women.

i heard a lot about this perfume,so i bought it. i am so dissapointed,i hate it now...it smells so strong and disturbing.it gives me a headache and i can't stand it!

Hi.

DKNY be delicious is how I expected it to be. It's crisp, fresh, reviving, and nonetheless delicious. The tuberose and apple mix becomes a musky, slightly reminiscent of Be Delicious Night. It's my favourite out of the DKNY line.

Sillage 9/10
Lasting Power 10/10

Disgusting. Last week we went to a concert and there was a woman sitting in the next row in front of ours. She obviously poured half a bottle on her that night... And oh gosh...! The air conditioner was bringing these nauseating waves of Be Delicious every now and then. Thank god the concert was still good but since then I hate this fragrance.

I want this so bad! I LOVE the design of the bottle and it smells so fresh, like fruit but not too sweet!

Be Delicious smells sweet and floral - kind of like a combination of fresh, crisp apples and a fragrant bouquet of flowers. This scent is great in the daytime - it has a long lasting power and is not too strong. The only thing that is preventing me from repurchasing it is that it's a little too popular, to the point where the scent has become a tad common and generic.

Fresh juicy green apples with a light hint of tuberose that tempers down the sweetness. A simple, fresh scent to keep you fresh and revived for 10-12 hours. My third favourite fragrance as the apple-tuberose combination is simply irrestistable.

I used to think this smelled wonderful. Now I hate it. I have no idea what happened, but it's repulsive to me now.

i am an 11 year old girl who likes fruity sweet fresh fragrances and i do not if i would like this or black star by avril lavgine or daisy by marc jacobs. any advice?!

Was it really launched in 2009? Even Fragrantica lists various limited mutations of this smell as launched at earlier dates, so it would really make no sense. I distinctly remember a friend of mine buying this in an airport duty-free when we travelled together in 2005 - and AFAIR it was a big premiere fragrance then, heavily promoted in the shops.

I actully tried this today and was well impressed! Very fresh & clean smelling, defo going to add to my wants :). It better than the red one i have to!

Strong cucumber, green scent throughout which I find overpowers the sweet apple scent. I would wear it occasionally, perhaps on a hot summers day, but this frag doesn't suit my skin at all.

I liked this scent a bit when it first came out..now I really can't stand any of the DNKY Delicious scents. There's something about them that just gets under my skin. Perhaps it's the cucumber. Something lingers in this fragrance and not in a good way. Notes are distinct in this one. My nose wants to like it..then it just wants to get away. I would say the way the notes start and to the middle, just doesn't appeal to me. I hope no more of these come out. Cause I don't like any of them. I do like the bottle though, which I think contributes this as a good seller more than anything.

I REALLY WANT THIS SMELL YUMMY AND LOVE THE BOTTLE AND IT BRINGS BACK ROMANTIC MEMORIES!

I don´t like it. I smell just mix of cucumber and melon and it´s not so nice.

I have the same feeling about this scent as J'adore from Dior. It's fresh, light, lovely on someone else. On my skin, it gives me a headache, feels like I bought a bottle of migraine.

I was obsessed for a short period of time before it started to smell like dirty diapers....

Was my favourite 2 years back because of the fun and fresh fruity smell. But I don't know why, now I don't fancy it. The first note smells so sharp and edgy. And I don't smell any flower at all! However, the dry down is quite pleasant since the sharp apple smell has toned down a bit. It got 'love' from me back then but not now. I probably give it a 'like' only.

IMHO, it doesn't have a cheap smell and still special to me eventhough I don't adore it that much now :)

I smelled it today,a very cheap fruity perfume ,the only scent I noticed was apple but again not in a good way ,I didn't like it at all.

This perfumes goes well with my body chemistry!!! Its sweet but still fresh and flowery. I used to wear it to work and my coworkers would always ask what I was wearing since they said that it smelled "delicious". One of them even purchased it since she truly liked the way it smelled on me. The staying power is great will stay with me all day until I go to sleep. The predominant scent is the green apple and the mixture of the white flowers.
To me it doesn't smell cheap, it smells like an apple orchard that happens to be surrounded by a field of wild flowers. When I wear it it makes me feel content and full of JOY!!! I got it as a b-day gift from my mom 7 yrs ago (3.4 fl oz bottle) and since I cherish it too much I only wear it on special occasions!!!!

smells cheap, ordinary..nothing special about it..and lasting power doesn´t exist.

It's a great fragrance and just about every girl I know is in love with it, which is the problem. This fragrance has become so popular that after smelling it on just about everyone its become dull to me and not very unique.

Argh...Actually I cannot handle it... Smells cheap... Hate the bottle and the fragrance :(

Too sour for my taste !!! it gets into my brain in two seconds , makes me sneeze and my eyes burn , plus cucumber in a perfume weird!!! cheap cleaning product smell.

I really love this perfume. Instead of being fruity in me, all the flowery and fresh scents come out. The apple is balanced by the woody scent and the citrus. Really nice.

My first impression was I love it! and brought it blindly before waiting for the dry down. The first scent was Apples indeed but after a couple of hours it started smelling very synthetic and could not detect the apples anymore :( If your buying this for the apple note your better off with Dolce Gabanna Light Blue, the dry down is more pleasant and is much more feminine smelling.

the stinkiest perfume ever! it smells like I have tested several perfumes on my skin, one after another; overpowering! This was a blind buy after looking for a perfume that smells like green apples. I sense tiniest amount of that and rest is just evoking nausea; wrong ingredients combo. Suggestion> try it on before you buy it.

finally i got this today. First, i smell nothing but after 5 menit it makes me happy, i smell fresh and apple juicy. I smell cucumber water mixed with fresh green apple, and to be honest that it id totally a "vegetable fragrances", and I like it so much. Suitable for summer time... yahuuuy :)

I tried this one in the duty-free shop. When I first smell it, I'm so impressed by the apple scent. It's very fresh! I wore it at 6 p.m. then I got on my plane an arrived at around 11 p.m. and the scent is still there! I think it became the light floral scent. And then I got on my car and arrived at home around 2 a.m. and it's still there! Very impressed by the staying power!

i don't really love this scent. not special at all, doesn't last all day... synthetic apple scent.

The most annoying female perfume of the decade. Monstrously synthetic, loud and so generic, it just makes you wonder, how the bloody hell Mr Roucel came up with such a.. sorry, words escape me..

Ladies pls, go for something else more attractive. You deserve better than that.
My apologies..

this is the most discusting perfume i had. I gave it to my younger cousin cause she is young thought she would like it. it smells so citrusy and old.

I tested this perfume a while back but didn't buy it cos its quite expensive. It smells very clean and fresh, also kind of sour smelling. I can mainly smell green apples and cucumber.

my girlfriend has it and OMG it drives me crazy smells so sweet pulls me into it :P

Fresh, cheerful and clean. when I wear this perfume I feel active. in my country with 10 months of heat, it just works wonderfully. four bottle and I will continue buying. I'm a 33 y.o. woman and I do receive a lot of compliments from young girls and guys.

got the 1.7 oz edt of this the other day I think it is just as strong as the edp but the edt has a much more appley smell and it's fresher. I like them both and I think this may be one of my faves it never was before but being that it's hot outside I enjoy the jucieness and freshness of a fruity not sweet fragrance.

I really liked this one.I live in insanely hot summer weather(las vegas),and this one could withstand scorching heat.It reminds me of maybe an apple orchard with a light sweetness to it.I also thought the bottle was great.You like apples?this ones for you.

This smells so artificial to me. The idea of a green apple perfume is great, but this green apple is very synthetical unfortunately.It doesn´t even smell like a perfume to me. More like a apple-fragranced cleaner.
Maybe in very hot-humid climates it comes out better?
Anyway not for me. Try before you buy.

I always get complimented wearing this by both men and women so it can't be as bad as the negative reviews say. I think some people don't know how to test perfume - I suspect they just spray it on a strip and don't give the alcohol time to evaporate let alone see how it actually wears.

Fresh, breezy clean scent. Can be quite heavy sometimes but I enjoyed this scent. Im not sure I will buy this one again but I enjoyed it.

K, this perfume is disgusting. Apples.... it smells like cheap pharmacy single note body spray apple. Not candy apple, not caramel apple, not apple pie but plain ol' apples.
No grown up can wear this scent. I tried more than once to let this scent work on me or on anyone else.. first spray or dry-down this is nasty chemistry.

It is, yes perhaps, delicious. It's strong and people will ask you about it. You really need to wear just a little. The scent is very juicy and refreshing. I loved it - yet its not the best.

I've come to hate this perfume. Almost done with my second bottle. It is a very young frangrance and I'm saying this at 22

Love this perfume. I'm 40+ so apparently it's too young for me but I adore it and always get comments when it's been recently applied. It just doesn't last at all though so I'm looking for an alternative.

If it smelled like apples I would maybe have liked it more. On me it was synthetic jellybeans. Urgs.

none of your sickly sweet synthectic apples here... this smells of crisp fresh apples (: I love this fragrance!! it smells absolutly devine. one of my favs for sure.

Fresh but very bitter.

I first heard of this perfume in a Youtube video. I thought: "So many people are giving it good reviews so I'll go check it out." I tested it in Myer when I was able to go for the first time in a long time and I liked it. Then when I got home I suddenly didn't like it.

"It's so strong and I can't detect apple in this at all."

Being a fan of apple-scents, I was disappointed. But it took a few more applications over a span of a couple of weeks until I finally fell in love with the perfume, leading it to become my signature scent for warmer weather.

DKNY was probably the first scent I've used with a more crisp smell to it, which is why it took me a while to settle into it. Before then most, if not all of the perfumes/body sprays I had worn were of the gourmand variety. Be Delicious, to me, is more sharp than sweet, but the sweetness is still there, if not masked by the more obvious floral notes that accentuate the overall perfume. It is more suited to Summer/Day time wear and is perfect for the younger age group, although a lot of people over 25 wear it from what I've heard.

My boyfriend smelled it once and went crazy. He HATED it. He said it smelled like the trashy teenage girls who are looking for a one night stand in a bar

I'm not sure what all the rave is about. I tried this fragrance today and to me it smells very artificial and has a strong alcohol scent. The dry down also seems soapy to me.

This scent is a real turn on for myself,
a great young fresh citrus burst.
It reminds me of happy days and fun cheeky youthful times.
A great youthful drop and worth a try for the young (or the young at heart) ;)

I used to have it in highschool. wore it all the time winter,spring no matter. people knew this scent because of me. then, I grow up, it got discovered by a lot of people,smelling everywhere. it was an amicable break up between me and be delicious. who knows if I'll ever go back to it,not likely now,but...

All i get is apple and watery cucumber...Ok, maybe i get a faint note of the lily and magnolia too, but that's it. Tuberose, where are you?????
And then it settles down to a common (boring?) dry down.
Not overly bad, i didn't rush to wash off my wrist, but not good either.
If you love super fruity and fun perfumes, may i suggest petite chérie from Annick goutal?

A great big apple. An orchard of the things. You sit under the tree and they drop onto your head one by one. Clonk, clonk, clonk, proving Newtonian physics. Not what I personally want in a fragrance but if you like the smell of apples you will love this.

Very straightforward and honest scent, very clean, simple and fresh, without being loud or artificial. I LOVE the smell of apple, so this one was made for me, it was love at first smell! :) I also happened to need a very simple and energetic perfume, and this reminded me of my childhood in the country side :)

I love that it is not too masculine or lemony in a detergent/air freshner kind of way. I guess the magnolia, rose and the rest of the flowers soften and complement the citrus/ green apple combo.

I still love it even though I dont wear it anymore. I smell it every once in a while when I go to perfume shops (just to check if I still find it awesome) and it brings a smile on my face every single time. It is still awesome :)

It smells like too much of cucumber .. Yuck ! Who wants to smell like a fresh vegetable ? :/ Not me !

Hate this perfume. Maybe it's because I had a friend who used to bathe in this everyday before school for over a year. Just can't stand it. Smells very cheap to me, too much apple. Yuk.

Sickeningly sweet and artificial smelling. Played out and overrated. Gosh I hate this scent. And to make things worse, everywhere I go, I smell someone wear this. *sigh*

Young, trendy, bright, clean, crisp, sharp, loud, strong, sweet, fresh, juicy green ‘delicious’ apple!
A refreshing combination of apple, grapefruit and cucumber.
The apple and cucumber are very prominent which makes the scent a little bit tangy and tart at first spray. But then settles down into aquatic flowers followed by a woodsy musk.
A perfect fragrance for the spring/summer time.
Also has great sillage and longevity.
And an adorably cute bottle that matches perfectly with the scent.
I admit that when I was first given this as a gift I didn’t like it so much. But over the years it has grown on me and now I… maybe not love… but like it a lot!

MMMMM yummy, great green apples, granny smith, with lovely white flowers and a mild, warm musk. It lasts and lasts forever on me. Best staying power ever. I like this scent because it really changes depending on my body temperature/mood. Sometimes fresh and a bit tangy, then soft and flowery, but never too strong.

It makes me smile and comforts me on rainy days.

A very simple scent. Yeah, it really smells like a juicy green apple but the fun stops there. If you're not into complicated scents and just want something that "smells good" I guess this is perfect for you! Personally I would want some more action to find it worth wearing.

even tought it a commonly perfume but it still a easy to wear perfume.
i found that the opening of the spray is smell like burst of juicy green apple mixed with cucumber..at first i like this prfume a lot but after quite sometimes it seem like lil bit bored with this thing
i also got its lotion,what i can say bout it is it smell just like cucumber!
this perfume stil remain no 1 in MALAYSIA..it really common perfume nothing WOW factor on it

I have found a time when I actually quite like wearing this one. When I'm hungover, this one doesn't make me run for the nearest bathroom.

I can absolutely understand why this one is so popular! At first I was sceptical, but then I got it from my mom and I fell in love with this one. It's fresh and also long lasting! Yummy!

delicious !

This smells fresh and juicy like an apple however, I lost interest in it after a very short while and it sat in my perfume cabinet for a really long time. I busted it back out recently and wore it once or twice and got bored again so now I use it mostly as air freshener.

This is little bit sour than the red apple.
Less sweet.
Not for me anyway.

This ones not for me BUT this is a well done apple scent. Very juicy!

After only a few times using it , i got bored with it very quickly , i can't say i dislike it , BUT it lacks complexity and it's a bit too conformist .
I gave the bottle away to my sister recently , at least it wasn't a waste for everyone . :-P

Overrated, nothing special. Almost everyone's wearing this, which makes it even less special.

i got this perfume not long ago i liked it when i first got it but now im so over this perfume nothing speacial dosent even last one hour for me.
bad lasting power smells like apples and cucumber with something sweet

My first perfume. I can picture a young, carefree, a bit reckless girl wearing Be Delicious. Maybe because I was one. I used to love it back in my early teens. I thought It was special, unique, trendy. Now I find it common, suffocating and too strong. But still, if I had the chance to be a teenager again, I'd only wear Be Delicious. Memories...:)

I still can remember my first spray on my wirst,after bought it based on a friend's suggestion : it's very fruity, almost like apple juice, and so fresh ! later on, it's musky wood scent lasts for hours..

It really is a big step for me, who usually wears fruity/floral but non woody/musky perfumes (because I always thought woods/musk is not my liking), in this beautiful and shiny flacon I have a fragrance that make me wear woody/musky tones without making me feel like an old granny.

I dig smelling like a sour green apple jolly rancher, and I think this perfume is really cool, if still a bit trendy like the other apple scents by DKNY. I guess the original Be Delicious is still my favorite out of them. I can tell Maurice Roucel is the nose behind this, simply because it really lasts a long time! I smell a lot of fresh cucumber, tons of synthetic green apple, and sexy musk. I do catch a bit of magnolia is this scent, but it’s overblown by plenty of tart green apples, woodsy notes, and sweet amber. I couldn’t escape this scent all day, and while I can see how it might annoying to some, I think it’s fun to wear. It makes me feel happy, young, and carefree.

Woody Musk ... where?? The minutes pass and a few hours and my skin definitely shows aquatic floral, fresh and sparkling chords dominating the cucumber on flower, magnolia and violet deep but still subtle. Perhaps the apple (which is what I wanted) is overpowered by the cucumber in the beginning, after two hours may come to light, but the apple-shaped container and the name I thought it would be more dominant this: (. recommend to the smooth time unfortunately is not like I expected.

It reminds me slightly L'Eau par Kenzo for Women, although more refined, with a touch different but essentially the same water as a nymph swimming in the water lilies.

If you want to smell life apples, get shampoo. it's way cheaper and not as offensive as Be Delicious. IT's VERY strong and it annoys me to no end when I smell this.

The fragrance is way too sharp and it would be really difficult for me to have a conversation with someone who wears this perfume. Just 2 sprays is rather deathly, my nose would get irritated at the scent's sharp and invasive personality. Would give me a headache if exposed for too long like 5 minutes.

Be Delicious Fresh blossom, on the other hand, smells delicate and inviting.

Esquicito, jugoso, fresco y su dulsura es la precisa. Los hombres lo adoran!

This is a so-so for me. Not overtly offensive, but bit boring. No magnolia present for me. It's a nice blend of citrus and floral, without being too fruity. I do like the touch of apple it has, but the dry down is brief on me. Overall, not bad but nothing special. I received a bottle as a gift and use it occasionally, but I would never purchase it myself.

I do not understand the attraction to this line of perfumes at all. I barely smell any apple, and it is just too sour/sharp. Also, it does not smell that good on most people who wear it...not worth trying.

Smells like a fresh apple juice on a summer day!
It is very delicious, perfect if you're happy and playful.
Not my favorite, but quite good!

My girlfriend has this... I love it! It's so fresh and energetic. I don't see where all the negativity is comming from. Guys like this stuff, but I guess ladies don't.

I expected a lot from this perfume. I thought it would smell very fresh and crisp and like apples. I am always watching beauty gurus on YouTube who rave about it. Therefore, I took a risk and ordered it online thinking it MUST be good.
I was wrong.
I smelled it and was completely turned off by the scent. Smells sort of... floral and sour? I don't know how to describe it but I don't like it all.
A waste of $45

This perfume promised so much from the refreshing opener.

However after trying it on my skin, others commented on its loudness, and not in a good way. Something in the heart notes smells sour almost rancid on my skin.

Get over the first hour and the dry down is ok, I've always liked amber, but this is not one to write home about.

Silage is astonishing, but I would apply at least an hour before you're due to meet anyone.

Such a soft, clean scent on me. Be Delicious is at once fresh and smooth, with the sandalwood and musk lending just a touch of creaminess to the juicy apple and pale flowers. Cucumber is evident at the first spritz, but it quickly settles into aquatic flowers with a hint of tart apple. It lasts a decent amount of time given what a light scent it is, and hours later, it's mostly green apple and dusty blonde wood.

It's a perfect fragrance for springtime, dancing in flower gardens and tossing pennies into fountains - and I can see exactly what others have meant by "apple shampoo". It's just so light and clean, an easy everyday scent. And from my experience, others love it!

Well .. what can I say? This is pure Apple! Delicious, Fresh.. it's soo long lasting!! The only bad thing (I don't know if this happen to someone else or is it just me) is when the weather is too hot this turn into a wet earth smell .... But besides that I think it's a great perfume!!!

All i can say is I LOVE this scent its perfect for spring and summer very fresh and fruity

yes, the same as I...Can't find any fresh notes in this perfume. For me it is not fresh, really don't like thi be delicious stuff, I thing the scent is very strong and SO boring and cheap, every time when I feel that somebody wear that, I my opinion it is something so unpersonal and without feeling of style, I can't even express how much I don't like be delicious ...

Oh yes, I adore this fragrance. It truely is delicious. As a winter fragrance - no, but for spring summer, ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS! None of those sickly sweet notes here, just summer fresh, oh so entoxicating yet subtle enough to keep the other person wanting more.

Bear in mind I can't stand violet flowers, and maybe tuberose either.
I can't like this one even though I tried to a few times. Fortunately, my friend doesn't like it either and she doesn't plan to wear it when we are together, phew.

The good
Nice fresh opening, cucumber, and the apple shows up pretty fast too.
Quality is decent.
It's probably sold due to the nice apple smell it leaves on the spray. That's how my friend's brother bought it I guess.
It does make a nice recovery at the drydown and becomes pleasant again.

The bad
It's too loud and while I read reviews describing it as youthful I tend to think of it as old lady.

The ugly
I hate violet and the floral accord is disgusting to me. For some reason, violet flowers remind Brazilians of street hookers.
I actually wanted to wash it off, bad, bad sign.
Cloying, and headache inducing.

No, thank you. You can hide my review all you want.

I really didnt like this perfume. I guess its nice for the summer and i can see why allot of people are describing it as fresh but its not very light. I just found it too be a loud perfume and not in a good way. Never got any compliments whilst wearing it, I wonder why? lol :)

I find this perfume irritating!Everywhere I go, either bus,train or office the smell just overpower you so much that I have to leave that space. Very strong smell, sorry don't like it....

Sorry, but this tart perfume makes me want to gag. If you vomited after eating rotten green apples, this is what your vomit would smell like, it's so sour. Yuck.

It was a gift, so I've tried many times to wear it and like it. I have tried to give it away on numerous occasions, but no one wants it! Wish I could send it to one of the people on this site who love it. I hate to waste perfume, but if someone doesn't take it soon I am going to throw it away. :(

Me encanta este perfume,es uno de mis favoritos por que me gusta mucho el aroma de la manzana y la combinacion con las flores. es un must de primavera-verano. ES DELICIOSOOO
xoxo.

I love it sooo muchhhh!!!

On me this smells like fresh Granny Smith apple, it then dries down to this warm creamy floral deep lingering scent. The lasting power is amazing on my skin.
I think this can be worn any time of year (not just the hotter months)
sillage is remarkable.
I am happy to have this new addition in my collection.

Too me this perfume doesn't smell too specific. What I mean is I don't like perfumes that smell just like a rose or just like a gardenia. This perfume although is described like an apple doesn't smell just like an apple. It smells so fresh and clean definitely some green notes. I wouldn't like it if it smelled just like an apple. The combination of ingredients are amazing! My only issue with this fragrance is that it's VERY STRONG! I am afraid of offending someone when I wear it. It seems to smell the same on everyone. I like when it's not obvious what your wearing. I like a scent to seem personnal. This perfume doesn't have to have a dry down time. From the first amazing spray that's what it is, the smell is true from wet to dry and lasts all day. Very few perfumes smell the same from beginning to end. This is truely so far my favorite perfume however, I wear it seldomly. Strange I know"?" I'm going to find a way to wear it so that it's softer. Maybe since scents rise, I'll spray it on my tummy under my clothes and see how that works. ;o)

It starts out with a tart and tangy apple but soon becomes dominated by floral.

I read somewhere that it is inspired by the energy of New York. I imagine New York women to be sophisticated, worldly, and complex. This scent is bright, ultra feminine in a girly way, cloying and pretty loud. It's cute but hardly what I would consider to represent the energy of NY. Also, I would have picked red apple, not green but that's just me.

It's not a bad scent but I also expected the scent to have more of the apple note to it. Perhaps this is a sign for me to ignore advertising and just go with Fragranitca since they have a better handle on what it really is.

It's kind of hard to have a fair opinion on it since I was hoping for a fresh cucumber/apple sparkling scent (I got no cucumber what-so-ever) and it ended out being mainly floral.

Spring or summer time scent aimed at teens/early 20's imo.

My favorite, very fresh green apple scent, delicious and crunchy.

I love this smell. To me it smells like a mix of Apples and almost a clean soapy smell. To be used sparingly though as you can definately over do this one. I only bought a 30ml and wish I had got the 100ml. Love !

soooo young, very fresh, fruity, sweet, LOVE LOVE LOVE IT SOOOOOO MUCH..
I love this every i go to school..
smeel make me spirit, wow..
apple apple..
very recommended for teenager like me..
i love this..
u must try it..

One of my favorites.Had it last year,might buy it again...This smells exactly like it's name: Delicious.Green apples and sweetness.I love this perfume.

I love this DKNY!! It is one of my collections ;)
And the smell is just so sweet~
I love mix smell ; floral fruity

I have to say that this perfume is the moste discusting perfume i ever tryed in my life,guess it just doesnt fit in my profile

When my fellow reviewer Amethyste said that this fragrance would make her run away from anyone wearing it, I thought it sounded very promising indeed. Be honest, who *really* has enough personal space on public transport in this day and age?

I am a bit disappointed though, I find this mostly inoffensive, savoury, fresh & crisp, sitting on an accord of predominately lemon & apple. My beloved Magnolia is so cold that I concur it may as well be water lily or lotus as Kittykai mentioned. The other florals are mostly just non-speaking rent-a-crowd personnel, designed to 'fill' rather than 'define'.

Even though I doubt anyone would actually flee from your presence if you wear this, I do think you could do yourself some serious injury by inhaling the fumes too deeply. If you have ever smelt unadultered lemon eucalytpus essential oil (or huffed paint for the miscreants among us) you will know exactly what I mean. Deadly.

I really don't like it. It's not delicious. It's not apple. It's STRONG magnolia, which I hate. I want to run away from anyone who's wearing it, it's so detectable!!

A pretty good fragrance, fruit and leaves a pleasant, warm and cool enough for use in almost any time of year, but preferably is targeted at young women. Quite sensual.

7/10

This does not smell like the price you're supposed to pay for it. Who doesn't like smelling like green apple shampoo? Even my cats get lathered in green apple shampoo for their baths, and I love burying my face in their fur to breathe in the scent. But I'm not going to shell out money for a scent so simple (with poor lasting power to boot) no matter how pleasant. What I smell in this: sour green apples + cool cucumber + slight hint of flowers and woods...I'll just buy myself a large bottled $10 knock-off or smell-alike to wear after a shower, or for those days I don't feel like wearing perfume...even the most amateur of perfume makers can't go wrong duplicating this one, it is really that simple a scent...why should I pay more, when I can easily find something similar (and perhaps even better without the sharp zing of lemon at first spray) for alot less.

My beautiful, pale-skinned, leggy friend swishes her baby-blonde locks & I am wafted with apples on a cool linen breeze. Darn her, she has transformed Be Delicious into a cute, fresh scent...whereas on myself....well.....

In the 90's I was naive & I wanted something that reminded me of being carefree by the sea. Others had opted for gallons of Issey (I still find it hard to forgive Mr Cavallier for creating such an amazing, magnetic male scent & then pairing it with such a ....well, let's just say female Issey & I do not like to be in the same room as each other). I wanted fresh. I wanted breezy. I bought Aqua di Gio & we forced ourselves to get along, but we were never a match. She wasn't a faithful scent & always seemed to be having a better time on some other gal's decolletage.

It's the same with BD. She is another gal's lover. Not for me. Nor is Issey, nor Gio nor Jewel. The freshness turns synthetic & static on my skin - where is my linen breeze? The apples are sour - not the cool, fruity burst on my fair friend. The oddly aquatic cucumber-lily freshness is stale & there is a white floral that goes super-sonic & threatens to hit me with a headache. In the end I am left hot & bothered with sour decomposing synthetic grass, while my blonde pal has the scent-equivalent of a luxury air-conditioned seat in the prettiest, poshest apple cart in town...& some kind soul is busy starching her white cotton shirt for her, too. No fair!

I'd make a useless Snow-white anyway...she can share her apples with blondey...for me, it's a poisoned one!

My biophysicist friend (a hot blonde with brains to match) loves this fragrance. It actually smells like fresh, tart apples with a touch of white flowers on her skin and I'm incredibly jealous!

As much as I love Be Delicious in theory - the beautifully coy packaging, the crazy-fresh opening notes, it sadly does not love me back. After about 30-40 minutes it just goes downhill - the dreaded Cheap Laundry Musk scent sets, in, the freshness disappears, leaving this irritatingly warm ambery nonsense. Would you leave a crisp, green apple to go off in the summer heat and then eat it? My thoughts exactly.

Another unexpected outcome of Be Delicious is the cucumber opening - it threatens to overpower the apple on numerous occasions. Oh, how I wish I could love this scent more!

In my skin, Be Delicious it´s only green apple, cucumber and ambar that goes wrong. I really can´t smell the other notes (rose, violet, magnolia,...). I wouldn´t say that is fresh and light, as the most people usually say about it. For me, in my skin, it´s a apple-cucumber weak and watery smell in the beggin. If it was only this, it´s ok, BUT, in the end, the wood notes wash off all the weak refreshness.It´s awful.

Can you believe I found a 1.7oz bottle of this today at Target for $23.00 wow! When I seen it last week it was on sale for $32.00 and I didn't get but I went back there today and found it even cheaper! God wanted me to have this fragrance and also there were a few bottles the 1st time I seen it but when I went today this was the last one and it was the same exact bottle I had in my cart last week I know that for sure because it was in a plastic package the others I seen were not.So thank you Lord for allowing me to get this.I have been wanting this DKNY be delicious for a while now but couldn't afford the $70.00 Macy's was asking.

This is so far my favorite by Donna Karan. It's not chemical or nauseating as the delicious (crappy) candy apple collection. This one is fresh and a tad sweet. I'm usually quite opposed to prominent apple notes, as they often turn synthetic, but this is the best I've tried so far. It seems as if the apple and grapefruit with the woodsy notes is a great combination. The fragrance may appear a bit simple, but it's fun and positive. The staying power is quite impressive as well. I wouldn't mind having this one in my collection.

I had a tester of this and used it up in a few days. It is a great scent to wake you up in the morning. I love the apple and grapefruit, and the base notes are wonderful. Nevertheless, it appears to me as a very simple fragrance, without real depth.

i have a weird relashionship with this perfume. i do love it's bottle, it's scent, (on paper, clothes and on other people). however, my skin doesnt love it back: it starts very well, very crispy and fresh, and then it suffers a mutation to almost a male scent, a male apple with woodsy notes ( i would say).

if i ever buy it, i just have to accept that my skin doesnt make justice to this wonderfull fragrance. however, if it fits you, please buy it immediatly!
dont even worry about sillage, because it lasts forever! :D

A wonderful light fresh fragrance for summer. It's not complicated, it makes me feel happy, it lasts most of the day.

Smells like green apples. I've smelled a million apple body sprays that smell better. Its over priced apple body spray that doesn't even last long. Its gone after an hour at most. Why on earth people think this is amazing is beyond me. Its nothing special to me at least. Sour apple is all I smell and its not even an awesome bitter sour apple. ZzZzz

I used to SWEAR by Be Delicious, it's a fruity tangy scent that smells great on skin or clothes, but don't overdo it. The smell can get overpowering quickly for people who are generous with their perfume. I loved the tart apple smell but it is very played out and almost everyone and their mom has a bottle of Be Delicious so sadly I had to let this one go, still a classic though!

I was incredibly ambivalent about this scent for a long time, chalking it up as a boring, sparkling, sharp and fresh middle-of-the-road scent for unadventurous young ladies. This year I have done a U-turn; I positively love it now. Perhaps I am tired of the sticky fruity florals; maybe I just didn't give it the credit it was due - or maybe it's the heat of this summer, creating the ideal backdrop for Be Delicious. It's so fresh, so green, but the apple is fruity and sweet enough to make it interesting. The sillage is great too, and I LOVE the bottle, especially in the 100ml. I've been more interested in Donna Karan's fragrances (always have loved Wenge and Black Cashmere) since trying not to buy brands tested on animals - and these aren't. A surprised thumbs up!

I received it as a gift from my hus.Loved the bottle but couldnt stand the scent;and after a few months and trying several times,i started enjoying it alot.Smells yami n sweet on my skin yet chic n classy.Lasting power is amazing.Its sth you shoud give time to like,i am so happy i didnt give it away.

When I first began using it, it was unbelievably fresh and sparkling. Now, it's a bit muggy.

On my skin, it really is absolutely delicious. The fruity, tart granny smith note isn't too sweet. Usually lighter, fruity frags are nice, but aren't deep or sensual. This one is both. Mingling somewhere in the strong apple note and fresh cucumber are woody nuances that ground it and make it just mature enough without losing it's sparkle. I love this for spring and summer! Downside is that it doesn't last very long :/

I don't like this one. It smells more like chemicals and cucumber than apples, with some wood in the drydown. I prefer the red version, but they both smell very artificial on my skin.

Simply put....If you like the fresh smell of green apples, go to Bath and Body Works and buy body spray.

A lot less expensive. You can even get lotions!!

Or you can do what I did. I bought the $20 two ended roller ball.

impressive yes history maker no; be delicious is promising with it's notes
of tart green apple with a drydown base
of cucumber. i don't notice any florals
in this but who's one to say i don't
really have a talent of detecting layers
of notes like some people do. to me all
the scents are all mixed together but i do admire reviewing perfumes that is my
prioity there is something in this i cant put my finger on that it tries to be unique but struggles in a fast paced
world of manufacturing fragrances these
days. but netherless a nice perfume but with lose ends.

Normally I don't go for such sweet fragrances but this one is so uplifting and makes me so happy! It is positive and bubbly. I would love to have this in my collection.

However, on some people it smells like freshly cut cucumber and nothing more. This one definitely should be tested on the skin before buying.

I don't agree with the "bathroom cleanser" comments. I think this is a wonderful modern fragrance. It is far from a body splash; however it IS sporty.

This is a happy, dazzling, and worth-buying perfume! Very suitable for summer days!
He likes it too; he thinks it is innocently sensual!

Well, i was given this as a gift, it's a synthetic apple + some woods. Kinda cheap smell.
However it smells okay on clothes.

FRESH!! cant be floral woody musk fragrance!! may be floral green !!

i luve it .. amazing with that green fresh smell.. very clean smell , apples and more apples with grassy note , although its so fresh and clean , it has great warm feeling, that smell of musk i think so warm and classy

that note of wet grass at the early morning with a sweet touch of grapefruit

the bottle is just amazing !! very delicious indeed wit h that sweet tropical green color !!

a bottle that shows how the perfume should be smell like!! it turns to woody sweet musky smell at last in very delicious way ,more than suitable during day and night , wearable perfume!! and attractive i wont classify it as a sexy perfume , but i can tell its so attractive 24/7 after gaining many compliments on it !!

luve it

I like this very much. Not quite as tart as I thought it would be given the green apple bottle. It' s really more of a sweet, juicy apple smell than a tart green apple scent. Reminds me a bit of Alfred Sung Jewel but stronger, longer lasting and slightly less floral. I really like the wood note than gives the impression of the stem still attached to the apple you just picked. The woodsiness really saves this from being just another fruity floral.

Edit: I don't know why I didn't think this was tart and green before, because it definately is! It's one of the reasons I like it so much. Also, I notice more of the cucumber note now which I really love. Still appreciate the underlying woodsiness.

I reach for this this one often, especially in the spring and fall.

Very sour on me; it's a synthetic apple with a really tart edge; reminds me a bit of the scents on Strawberry Shortcake dolls (Apple Blossom, in particular...yes, I have kids...) Not a woody musk for me, either. The only kind of cool thing about it is that you can almost see the layers when you smell it, it's almost structural: for me, it's apple on top, tart in the middle, musky under that. After a while, it went sort of bitter. Not my bag.

I had it before and I bought it again as it was a love from first sniff. I like it and it's true to the name because it's delicious, almost edible, but still fresh apple, very exuberant in hot weather. It is suitable for many occasions (informal before all) and year-round. It can be a little bit head turning and has good sillage, so apply moderately.The dry down is very musk/ambery and sweet. It's incredibly long-lasting (still there after an hour and a half of intense swimming routine and shower!)and definitely a modern must-try. I thought I'd never get over it for another frag. The only downside is that you get tired of this smell after some time plus it's very popular and recognisible and really smells the same on everyone. I bought it for the first time in 2005 or 2006 when it didn't use to be everywhere and has been a stayer ever since. I got tons of compliments when wearing this perfume. With time my perception of it started to go straight to the musky tuberose - bitter and thick, you know it's there to tear through the cucumbers and the grapefruits, and it wasn't with anticipation that I applied it anymore. Now my half used up third (or maybe fourth?) bottle of it sits in the back of my dresser and I just wear it from time to time mainly in colder weather. It will take some time for me to get back to it again. So it goes to the I love list because of that first bottle I adored with a passion.

I have a 30ml bottle. This one is whithout dispute, a delicious fragrance, it really makes you have the illusion that it's something eatable. It's very very pleasant!!! I'm so surprised at its lasting power, I have kept smelling the cute green apple note for hours. Yes, it definitely goes into "MyFavourite" list.

----- Update:
The base note contains a hint of Lily, this is a natural flower scent... I capture that with a summer breeze. So Nice！！！

This perfume smells nice in the bottle, but on the skin it turns into a very cheap apple smell. The smell of alcohol is very strong

The fist impression in store was- I love it, I have to have it. Fortunately I had enough common sense to wear it a while before buying. In some hours it turned to something that made me sick. I cannot tell which one of the notes badgered me the most, but I just cannot stand the middle and the base. But I've scented it on my friend and it's ok on her. The body chemistry is so different.

Love it! What can I say, I'm an apple-lover!

A crisp juicy green apple is what comes to my mind. It's more like a Granny Smith than a Golden Delicious, but who want's a perfume named Be Granny after all.

It smells a bit like green hair shampoo but it just makes me feel clean and fresh. It also has some vague woodsy notes, just enough to make the fragrance interesting. The cucumber note blends so perfectly with the apple note, in fact it's what makes the "juicyness" in this fragrance.

I have smelled this perfume on many people and I have always wondered which perfume they used. It definitely has sillage and the fresh green apple scent lasts to the end.
Straight into the "Love"-list.

In 3 words: GREEEN - JUICY - DEEP

I wouldn't like that my guy smell like this DKNY :D it so girly, I want that man smll like man (like DG the one or smth like that)... and this one DKNY in my appinion smells really cheap

I'm a guy but I love this, as I always love apple scent! Yeah, it's really delicious!!!

Reminds me of my apple bathroom cleanser. It smells really simple, more like a deodorant than a perfume. I have also heard you get tired of this scent quickly.
I personally dont like it as there is something chemical about it and although I like sweet scents the sweetness of this perfume is unpleasant to my nose.

My favourite. Very fresh.

OK,if u love apples.Thats all i can detect.Bought it after a sample of the body lotion.Not the same.Parfume is just fruity like apple house spray.

Juicy apple, but complex enough to be more than a mere fruity body spray. Certainly not gourmand in the sweet sense like Angel etc, it is definitely crisp apple with a hint of floral. A really great day scent, not rich enough for night and has good staying power. It's light but substantial at the same time.

Love it !love the green apple!flowers are completing the fruits and the drydown is good.long lasting on me cause i wear well floral.fruity .and orientals.

This reminds me of Prescriptives Calyx. It has that same crisp citrus-y burst of freshness upon application. While strong on initial spray, it mutes down rather fast. It stays very close to the skin. On me there is no sillage. Lasting power is not great. I get about 2 hours out of it. Better as a summer/warm weather fragrance.

I spilled 3ml of this perfume on my makeup bag! so my bag smells sooo good and the scent is really lasting. this was also spilled on my hair tie which I use all the time so whenever I wear that tie my hair smells amazing! I get compliments from it. people thought that it was my shampoo they're smelling but they didn't know it was this perfume that spilled on my hair tie! hahaha! I guess it's lasting when sprayed on fabrics :)

Using DKNY green I feel young, free and full of summer joy :)

I'm loving this at the moment. it reminds me of summer and fresh apples! when I tested it on my wrist on the mall, I can't stop sniffing it. but it doesn't stay long :(

i never liked this one when i tried it in the shop or had it as sample. but the other day i asked i friend wich perfume she used cause she smelled nice and guess
what it was this one..
well, aint my style but feshly good for just daytime tough it smells cheap

I really hate the smell of this perfume! I'm getting sick of this awful chemical perfume. I smells just like spray you use for the toilet!

it reminds me of the apples.. golden delicious not the really green apples but the more yellowish skin ones...
its like slicing one of those apples open the more i like it the more i want it 8/10

At first this was not one of my favorites but I recieved a sample of this at a mall in Olympia WA while doing some business there and put some on my wrist. By the time I got back to Shelton WA the dry down was sumptuous!!! I fell madly in love with this scent. Its green and crispy and very feminine. I bought and used an entire bottle in one month! When I fall in love, I fall hard!

This is apple at its very best.

DKNY Be Delicious is not tarty or sour like I expected it to be, the apple note is fresh, juicy and pretty.

This would make the perfect Summer fragrance. The additives of cucumber, magnolia and lily-of-the-valley makes this fragrance so very soft, feminine and crisp. There's an element of watery freshness which makes this fragrance ideal for really hot days.

The woodsy undertones in the base of this scent is fantastic and very different. A definite highlight for me and a great credit to Maurice Roucel who created this very popular fragrance.

DKNY Be Delicious' popularity is probably what turns me off buying this fragrance. I can't stand the thought of smelling like everyone else. Regardless of how much I enjoy this fragrance, I can't convince myself to get it.

Night-life, freedom, subtle sex-appeal, that is, what I associate with this fragrance. I discovered it in midsummer at 30 degrees celcius when going by tram at rushhour a fine subtle sillage of a delicious fruity scent reached my nose. Juicy!

One waft of this juicy fresh fragrance and you’ll want to eat the bottle!!.
It’s an individual fragrance with refreshing, dynamic spirit.
Really good smell.

very synthetic, especially in the beginning for me it does not smell "delicious".
after about an hour it starts to fullfill its promises and smells like green apples underlined with some woods.
maybe it´s my chemistry, but i´m not very fond of it.

got limited edition bottle, its so cute! but scent its not one of my fav. still nice tho!

I love the smell of apples, so I thought this one might work for me, but i find it somewhat toosweet and sticky. maybe this is a scent that appeals more to young women.

I strongly dislike smell of cucumber, so this perfume doesn't suit me.

This perfume is fresh, clean, casual and young, a scent full of happiness. I don´t love this perfume, but I enjoy wearing this during the hot summer days and nights. I think this fragrance is great for those who doesn´t like to smell like a cake or an icecream! But I excepted more apple and less cucumber in its composition...

Most people can identify the apple note but can't get the cucumber note. Nice sillage and lasts most of the day. In my "perfume free" office I can wear this with no complaints. Definitely daytime and casual use.

Sharp, pungent and floral with a strong smell of artificial green apples and cucumbers. Don't like this at all. Whenever I am near a perfume counter it is sniffed again and again but my opinion stays the same. Have yet to find a DK perfume that I would willingly add to my collection.

i just love it! the first time i smelled it i just fell in love! i have to get it!

I can’t understand the love for this perfume of so many women. Hardly it smells any apples – it is much more cucumber here, and it’s combination with other components makes it even melon-cucumber scent. If it is an apple scent, then it was only in the beginning and after 15 minutes you are left alone with sear, weather-beaten cucumber with unpleasant chemical surrounding. If one looks for an apple fragrance, why not take a glance at Hugo, or Ferragamo Incanto? Why choose this cheep chemical smell, not suitable even for teens?…

One of our colleagues used it every day, thanks God she ran out her bottle very fast. But to meet this smell of a sear cucumber every morning in the office was an extra stress for everyone.
Also it was a hell kitchen in the subway – it was an everyday torture to travel in the mornings for work and go back home in the evenings, ‘cause every woman that wanted to be fashionable wore this fragrance. Stupid things happened sometimes – once I noticed a woman of 50-or-so with an elegant hairdo and wearing a stylish dark red coat and she used Be Delicious… Some Dior, Guerlain or Chanel creation would suit her much more.
Only one thing is good about it – the bottle, and that is for sure ;)

on my skin it smells like when you cut an apple in half and smell the inside, smells like a juicy apple, i dont really want to smell of fruit or food

There is something very annoying in this fragrance, something sour, like it was rotten. I smell it so often in public places and it makes my stomach jumping... I couldn't understand that earlier I was wearing this perfume for a short time... my taste wasn't so refined then - would never use it again.
The bottle is nice, maybe I liked only the bottle?

This is not the green apple scent I expected it to be since... it looks like a green apple. Green apple scent has been proven to be a great stress reliever.

It is sweet and just smells like candy to me.

Everytime I hit stores, I always try this on. I dont have enuf money to get one ..But this one is def next on my list . The scent is fresh, crisp.I love the green apple scent. I like it better than sweet apple nina scent.Bottle is round shaped like apple. I am not so good handling round things so I gotta be carefun with this one .. Anyways ... I wish i save enough to get this one ... The scent is young but not teenish ... I am 24 ..And its def for me . :)

AWSOM i had it about 3 or 4 mnths ago and i can recommend it for evry one.. smells fresh, clean and cool it is sexy i can say that after luts of comments i heard when i wear it .. just I LUVE THAT ONE

i receognise this from an ad. when i bought it, opened the box, my hubby said, "grrhh..i want to bite it" LOL.

this is refreshing, something that makes me happy..lots of fruits;apple, citrus, like walking in a fruit market with all the fresh air ^^.luv it! i feel fresh all day with it

I smelled this out of the bottle and really liked it ..it is one of those fragrances that you know will be a mainstream hit...unfortuantely my body rejected this one quite quickly and completely...i have never had anything that smelled so nice out of the bottle turn rotten and almost like baby poop as soon as it touched my skin...wow!...i enjoy it on others though.

I love this fragrance. It works really well with my chemistry.It starts out crisp and tart like a green apple, but then it mellows into something more woodsy and romantic, with tube rose. My husband first smelled it on me and said "apple!" then later on in the day said "ooo that smells so nice ! what is it ?". It was the same thing !

Very nice and light to wear and the fragnance is just yummmey!
The essesnce of it it quiet strong and it does stay on you through out the day. It does seem to feel nicer when its slightly faded.
This is one of them exceptional perfumes that is surely going to get you compliments.

The price isn't too bad I'd say. However it maybe would have been a lot smaller if not for the complicated apple shaped bottle container. But I have to say that under my impression the container is what makes it uniqe and stand out through the other monotone perfume bottles on the shelves. Screaming to pick it up and try it out on your self! :D

I just love it ;)

It's okay. If you know what an apple smells like just imagine it enhanced with a few different spices and you've got this fragrance. but it's good to wear.

i used to have this fragance and i got a lot of compliments!!! is the best perfume i ever had!!! so delicious!!! i cant wait to buy the other versions!!

i hate this one. nauseous and headache inducing. i want to get far away from anyone who's wearing it. it's quite distinct and has a strong repulsive odour. like a cough syrup gone bad. haven't met anyone who can carry this off.

This is a scent that has been ruined by its immense popularity. It is a very fresh, feminine scent that actually smells a bit like a green apple. It is a bit strong, so if you dont like it, it can be very bothering to smell on others. And it is a scent that is very easy to get tired of, especially when everybody from my grandmother to the girl next to you in class wears it.

I think that it's the best Donna karan's fragrance ever!
It makes me wanne eat apple even that I don't like eat apples at all :)

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.

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.

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.

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...

this is the best warm weather perfume! its very fresh and fruity..

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

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.

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.

Its awful! Way too weak, but smells horrendus in warmer weather. Yuk!

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.

More and more I smell it,more and more I like it...

Interesting, smells like cucumber and apple on me. I faintly detect some flowers with something woody through it. Intended for wearing in spring/summer I think. Apple with some time is becoming more powerful. I like apples, but less watery with more floral frame. Apple note in Be Delicious reminds me of apples we can buy in stores and which you can forget for whole month and it's in one peace when you suddenly realize it's been standing here for so long. Apples from my garden has that real apple scent and taste compared to those watery examples. 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.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For me- too much apples, I have a sample and don't want more. It's quite boring in my opinion.

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!

A little too crisp smelling for me. I think it's good for casual wear or in the warmer months.

on of my all time favorites... fruity really and so simple and lasting!!!^_^ xoxo

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!

I liked it,is very simple and casual but nice (has staying power).:)

this is something a 14 year old girl would wear. Such a "simple" perfume

It is the worst perfume I've ever smelt. Makes me wanna puke :-( .Too bad my brother has the masculine version of it...

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.

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.

this one is simply gorgeous!!! the staying power is fantastic and the scent is heavenly delicious! the name says it all.

Nice apple scent.

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

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.

Almost 50 percent of women in big cities smells like this parfume. Nothing special, nothing delicious...

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

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.

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.

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

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.

i love it when i smell it on others but it just doesnt smell right on me.. to appley

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.

I used it as a strong perfume in summer but it could be used as a fresh-fruity winter perfume.

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.

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.

It's a so-so fragance, nothing special. Smells more citrus. I don't like this kind of fragance.

its very delicious!!! apple favor n flowerly~~~~~ everybody wnna bite u!!!!
dont worry~~ its not da 1 hold in snowwhite's hand!
