DKNY Be Delicious Men (2004)
by Donna Karan

The opening/heart/drydown reveals an unappealing, cold, synthetic blast apples with a tad of cold coffee.
Clearly marketed for teenagers (i'm one myself) but i would never wear this.

Why?
First off, it's not warming, when i look for coffee notes in scents, i look for a deep, dark, warm coffee.
This is like a cup of cold machine coffee that one wouldn't drink. The scent doesn't change throughout the time you have it on, neither does it project well.

The womens version smells better.

I bought this for my boyfriend, now husband and LOVE it!! He was a bit unsure at first...he knew my Be Delicious Green for women, so didn't want to try a "women's scent", but once he tried it he likes it too. (thank goodness, cause I think it smells great on him). Not too strong or sweet, quite simply yummy! :)

This fragrance was given to me as a gift a year ago and has only be taken out of the packaging to do this review. I tried this fragrance in a department store as soon as it came out and hated it. This fragrance seems confused, very confused! Is it a citrus fragrance, a gourmand, a woody aromatic?? It doesnt know what it is. The initial burst is quite apple like but this only lasts a few minutes making way for a sickly coffee accord that seems to be the theme of the fragrance giving it a poor toffee apple timbre, a toffee apple that is being roasted over an open fire. I wonder if the fragrance brief was along the lines of 'New york cafe in the morning' if so, it has failed. The omnipresent grapefruit not lingers for an impressive length of time which I can only think is due to the presence of a cheap jasmine accord. The drydown is a basic toneless sandalwood patchouli number.

In conclusion I would never wear or buy this scent and if I were meeting a friend for lunch or a drink and he/she was wearing this fragrance I would swivel on my heels and run out the door.

From the bottle, and for the the first hour or two, this is a great fragrance. A comforting mixture of apples, citrus and coffee that is, despite being perhaps a little too obviously synthetic, a real great scent. Unfortunately, the longevity and silage of Be Delicious crashes and burns around the 2 hour mark and all that's left is a subtle and somewhat sour apple note that stays very close to the skin.

Not a huge fan of this one, very synthestic, and yes apple-y (well the bottle is shaped like an apple) just doesn't know what it wants to be and ends up being a rip-off. There are much better scents out there than this. You'll wanna wash this one off almost immediately.

Woody apples? It smells great in the spring time or on DRY summer days. If you wear this in high humidity, it gives off a sour projection that could definitely be offensive to some.
