crisp green apples. Very sharp and bright fragrance. I dont get the coffee note from mine. I ended up tossing away my bottle. The aftershave splash was very harsh on my skin too. I liked this but it just became nauseating after a while of wearing it.
I agree with most of the reviewers, the main ingredients which are felt strongly in this scent are : apple and coffee, it's a day-to-day perfume, fresh, refreshing, and a compliment getter (girls like it), but it is a pitty it doesn't last longer, the sillage is strong in the first 2 hours and after that it fades away really quickly and goes close to skin, also the longevity is not more than 6-7 hours on my skin. I think that this is a perfume for those who don't want to be in the flashlights and for those who would like to wear a subtle fresh aroma. IMHO this frag is a little bit overpriced for its characteristics (sillage,longevity) but it comes back with a scent that can-t be compared to anything i know on the market, an original and distinguished one indeed, and this last thing can explain why it is a little bit over-priced.
Disappointing after the feminine DKNY Be Delicious, this fragrance is a dissonant accord of dry cardamom and stale coffee, mixed with ozonic notes on a cheap patchouli base. It reminds me of the brown, oxidized hue a half-eaten apple takes five minutes after it's been abandoned, and smells even less appealing. To be missed.
Smells like an apple that was Half eaten and left out for a few days.
Totally not my style.
It really smells as if its gone bad on my skin, and trust me I've asked every person I came across to smell it off me that day and they all turned up their noses in disgust.
Aah well guess it is just proof me and this Brown apple aren't meant to be.
Farewell and good riddance.
2 out of 10.
From the very second I sniffed it on my skin till the moment I thoroughly washed it away, all I got was the smell of..celery, celery and...megatons of more CELERY! Not that I don't enjoy eating celery occasionally but to smell like this... - deffinitely not my aim. The fact itself that this fragrance is still alive after 7 years of existence is beyond my mind. No matter how hard I try, I don't get the maddness that anyone would want to buy a bottle of artificial celery extract - you could always squeeze a stalk or two of the real thing, make yourself a nice fresh drink costing a chump change and it'll be from the nature itself. Well, I suppose there could be found some freshness in "Be Delitious" - the freshness of celery!!! Coffee notes? - No!, Green apple? - No! Grapefruit? - No! Celery? - YEAAAH!
"This is a unique fragrance with nothing remotely like it" - I would add - for a reason! Unfortunately, that's not entirely true - the smell of celery is exactly the same!
Don't know if this is a personal thing, but my advise would be not to touch this thing unless you seek to be devoured by some strange creature that eats...celery! To him you will be just a giant walking stalk of...Yes, you're right - CELERY!
Strong fragrance. I did not like it for my husband since it's a bit mature for him. I expected it to be less spicy.
To 'MIRUL'
this one is an eau de toilette.
can i know this one edt or edp? thank you abdul hammad~~
I accidently bought this one instead of the female one. I can say that this one is in fact better, the female version smells so bland in comparison. It is very strong and masculine in a clean and fresh way, with a little pinch of spice, everything a man scent should be.
Oh my.. for me it's the best men fragrance, I wish I had more money to buy it for my boyfriend :) Love it!
I really wanted to love this cologne. I found a great deal for it at Walmart and blind bought a bottle. It ended up being one of the strangest smelling colognes I have ever worn. It kept reminding me of celery every time I got a whiff of it. I am not a celery fan to begin with and certainly didn't want to smell like it so after wearing this scent for only 1 day, I gave my bottle away. Just not for me.
I actually like to wear this perfume so occasionally i would steal this from my hubby :) It is very green in terms apple green, light citrus and it gave this aqua fresh feel without being too feminine. It's universal scent, on a more masculine note which i love to sniff :) Overall, it is an easy fragrance on the nose, safe, such a delight on the nose. However, you would need at least 4 sprays to get notice in summer.
This is a very masculine fragrance that reminds me the classic Carlo Corinto, but accompanied with some fresh notes at the beginning.I can imagine that it is the prominent old touch of 80's fragrances which some people dislike here,but in my opinion this is a very good masculine fragrance to wear anywhere and anytime, with which you will not pass unnoticed.
I love this....... Others have complained about the sour like note in this but imo it's the best note in this fragrance because it is so different than anything else out there.This is def a summer scent. I tried to pull this off in the fall and winter and I got no longevity or projection. Believe it or not I have wore this recently as hot as it is here and I got two compliments on two different days. I also applied it on at 7:30 am and recieved a compliment at 4:30 Pm later that day. This is a scent you have to take time with to appreciate its depth and beauty. A+
An inoffensive, light, fruity and airy fragrance that builds on the Nautica fashion house fruity aquatic oceanic precedent by adding a heavy dose of green apple over grapefruit in a very fruity and biting opening that resonates quite well with younger wearers but could be labeled properly generic and uninspiring to more seasoned sniffers. Seems a bit more organic than most of its competitors at its price range, but as a whole product seems to be lacking inspiration and beyond a nice green apple opening doesn't stand out.
Definitely a release better suited for the thirty and under crowd, DKNY Be Delicious is a very basic construction of green apple, grapefruit, sandalwood, juniper berries and a synthetic coffee note that kicks into the middle and contrasts against the grapefruit and apple accords creating a warmth that is somewhat out of balance but still wearable all the same.
Projection is quite spotty, with a highly variable reaction based on skin and climate. Can go from skin scent to fairly decent range and scope in a matter of moments and then back again. Longevity is around four hours, with three to five the variable on my skin. A nice, inoffensive work, school or casual fragrance that is nothing unique or worth seeking out, but still has its rewarding elements and moments. Perfect for spring, summer and early fall and if not inspiring, still a fairly pleasant if not generic experience.
Better suited as an aftershave/splash after a shower or shave. Could easily be a unisex fragrance.
It's a nice fragrance, nothing special.
You can definitely detect the apple n the coffee notes..I couldn't smell the sea notes listed here
The female version is better IMO :)
Sillage: 5/10
Scent: 7/10
Longevity: 5/10
This perfume is incredible.
It's really warm with the coffee and tobacco note. I dont really detect apple. Just warm, spicy coffee and tobacco. I love it.
***
Edit: I took back what I said before.
When I tried it oon my wrist, I can detect the whole green apple note, which totally falls apart from the coffee note. Those two notes definitely do not go along very well and it makes you smell like you're wearing two different perfume at the same time.
Cheap and totally disappoiting.
This scent is absolutely wonderful.
The longevity and the projection is excellent.
Gather all the features I love in a perfume.
For me this product is just perfect.
I recommend it strongly.
In my opinion, this is an ordinary fragrance, with nothing new inside. I can´t feel the oceanic accords, the green apple is less than 2%, only the cofee is more expressive. It´s a colgne, so goes away quickly, after some hours only the woodsy bases remains alive, anda I probalby sugest that is a kind of those one thousand molecules taht remains ceder, atlas cedar.
i just bought this today. I really like the fruity smell in this one at the top notes. The sales girl said it's suitable for an outdoor use. I hope she's right and won't dissapoint me.
yup i admit this is weak scent. but used to wear it b4 sleep.. reLax~ at least im enjoy it.. how about u ..
This is shit for one reason: the overpowering, ever-sour, grapefruit note. It's completely ruined what could have been awesome.
Juniper, patchouli, green apple yes getting nice, COFFE!!! JASMINE!!! WOODS!!! I SWEAR IM ABOUT TO... oh... the grapefruit just killed my climax...just great...
Left high and dry!
Inspired to create a fragrance with every note in this composition, WITHOUT citruse.
I don't smell anything like apple but lemony grapefruit. Super zesty and sour grapefruit is all I can smell at first. Then the scent gets sweeter and sweeter with some mild bitterness and invigorating note of coffee, but it doesn't smell exactly like coffee either. I get a very mild patchouli too but the zesty lemony fruit just keep getting in my face. As of now, I still don't smell anything woody yet from this, but this stubborn grapefruit! ugh!
Well, I don't hate it nor love it. It just doesn't excite me. Picnic in the Park is actually better, I think. I ended up giving up to Gpysy Parfumista and he seems to enjoy it better than I do.
I LOVE this fragrance it's the brilliant and fresh one of my dreaman! I use it very often!
I actually love it! A fresh, casual, young fragrance. I'd make a great everyday perfume. Personally, I find the notes very appealing. I think it'd go well with a t-shirt and jeans as well as a smart jacket and a tie. It may not be very unusual, but who cares. I'd love a guy to smell like this.
This EDT is quite interesting notes that could materialize that are a kind of "wood-fruit" where it dominates a little apple and juniper berry. It's a bit linear fragrance, bearing a stronger input of juniper berry.
This fragrance can be used for romantic purposes, is comfortable, is for ages from teens to men below 60. Can be used in casual meetings and works best in cold climates. The fragrance provides a feeling of warmth and comfort.
Hi.
Green apple is one of my favorite scent.the opening with grapferuit and green apple.the top notes is really crisp,nice sour.i find a little similar to CLINIQUE HAPPY.Delicious and nice scent for me but not unique and special.
The apple/coffe mix makes a cologne the girls love it!Fresh and young.The bottle is cute too just longevity is a problem for me.very good casual scent for everyday wear.I love wearning because get so many compliments from my friends.
Anyway if you are looking for fruity and definitely green apple/grapefruit in good way with woody notes this fragrance is definitaley for you.but in my opinion the females version is better.
6.5/10
smells like bad apple for like 20 mins after that it fades away and i smell sweet apple new..lack of longevity..only last for 4 hours on my skin and its gone..
ive gotto say this is probably the worst cologne i own and should have never ordered this stuff blind
its a generic smelling mess and EVERY time ive had girls smell this they all say it smells terrible
thumbs down
For me the scent is ok.. doesn't last long as usual, even inside the air-con room...
My housemate doesn't like it at all...
He said it smell like normal gay people use perfume... >.<''
i still prefer Escada Sentiment or Dunhill desire blue
Not at all delicious. I perceive it as a bitter-sour combo, which does not work for me. I'll pass with no regrets. Red Delicious, however is nice enough.
i had bought this perfume before going to holidays in the sun. the smell was very pleasant however it did not last more than a few hours in the sun...
I thought I was going crazy but I've just read here that someone else smells celery on this scent!
Usually scents hold on pretty long to my skin but this one lasted for an hour or two.
Nothing special about it but I don't dislike it.
aight scent cuz
da scent dont outweigh the price so i think im goin 2 move to betta thingz once i run out
mos def a good sweet fresh allurin scent wit different notez which is good... SINCE GUYZ SHOULD HAVE ALL DIFFERENT AND UNIQUE SCENTZ N MAKE A ART OF THEIR SCENTZ
it is really a delicious fragrance! fruity, sweet green apple smell! really light! but not long lasting...
i prefer this one male and female versions, if i compare to the red versions!
I smell some horrible celery on the top, I can´t understand it. Also I get some coffee and apple on the middle and the celery is there too but a little weak. The base is very nice, with a woody spicy thing going on. It´s a well done cologne over all, once the celery is gone, very fresh and esay to wear. Recommendable for office wear.
The lasting power on my dry skin is soo weak. it's lasting soo short ;/. i can also agree that it's synthetic. good for me that i've only bought sample of this scent
so thumb down!
ohh the best part of this scent is bottle
Sour notes are very synthetic and disgusting. Red delicious is way better than this cheap and annoying smell.
i like this, i used the for women of this and i always liked the mens edition, and wanted my boyfriend to use it, but he doesent like it, dont know why because its so interesting, strong but not too strong and fresh and sweet enough for my taste
uhh... don't like this one! just 2 sweet and smell cheap! Not 2 metion the botlle... ball-shaped... i don't recommend !
Dear Tigre,
I've used this fragrance and I must say that the lasting power is mediocre. Although the combination of notes seems to be interesting, on my skin, it was very dull.
I prefer Red Delicious!
Has anyone used this cologne? Is it strong, weak, harmonious? Many interesting notes in this DK Delicious.
