What Be Delicious smells like

Be Delicious is a juicy green-apple and cucumber accord over a light floral-woody base. It is simple and extremely effective: it smells fresh, awake and slightly juicy, without any sweetness or weight.

The apple-shaped bottle has been on Australian shelves for twenty years and the fragrance is regularly discounted. Ideal for hot, humid days, gym bags and workplaces where anything richer would be intrusive.

Best for: Humid weather, gyms and fresh-scent minimalists.

Frequently asked questions

How long does DKNY Be Delicious last?

Expect roughly 5-7 hours on skin with moderate projection. Longevity drops in high heat and humidity, so Queensland and Northern Territory wearers should plan for the lower end of that range. Spraying one of your applications onto clothing rather than skin extends it considerably.

Is Be Delicious suitable for the Australian climate?

It performs best in spring and summer. It holds up well in genuine heat, which makes it a sensible choice for summer in any Australian capital.

Is Be Delicious unisex?

It is marketed for women, but fragrance has no rules — the fresh citrus character means plenty of people outside that marketing category wear it happily.

How much does Be Delicious cost in Australia?

Approximately $60 - $100 (100ml) at Australian retail. Designer fragrance is discounted almost continuously, so compare pharmacy chains, duty-free and online marketplaces before paying full department-store price.
