DKNY Be Delicious City Blossom Rooftop Peony

After falling hard for Yankee Candle's Peony from the My Serenity range which was released in the UK in early 2016, I knew I needed more peony in my life. So I set to browsing the notes database entry, and created a shortlist of peony perfumes to try. After being disappointed by Versace Bright Crystal (the peony just isn't the star of the show), I ordered this little number, and my goodness. It was everything I hoped for - fresh, sweet, floral - a little bird singing on a spring morning at the window of a Parisian apartment - blush pink lingerie and rumpled sheets in sunshine; it's feminine but not girly, happy but not naive. My preference is to layer this as carefully as possible - using a little vaseline on my pulse points - applying Kate by Kate Moss EDP, which is a lovely smoky rose for the base, and then going to town with Rooftop Peony. It's just a shame that as a limited edition it's only available as a single size EDT - if they were to formulate an EDP version I would be in heaven. About a month ago when peonies were in season I bought a bouquet of those sorely underrated blooms, and while perfume brings an exaggerated, fantastical element to the keynote, I can report that Rooftop Peony is true to life, heightened and concentrated. I can imagine that layering it over something with a plethora of green notes would bring those spring bouquets to life even more vividly.

Truly, this is a magnificent fragrance - it is going into my Top 10. It is so similar to Estee Lauder's Pleasures but about half the price. The only downside is the longevity which fades quicker than Pleasures. Tonight I have Pleasures on my left wrist, and DKNY Be Delicious City Blossom (Peony) on my right, just to compare and they are almost twins! I love them both. The dry-down gives rose absolute aromas and anything with sandalwood, bergamot and peony in it, I know I will love. This could be worn either day or night, it is so lovely. Fresh and romantic, and I would recommend this to anyone of any age who wants to feel and smell good. So if you can't afford Pleasures, then buy this one!

This is a beautiful DKNY perfume. It smells fresh and clean and the fragrance is light floral. With the price its worth a trial. I wear it as my day perfume quite good for work. the longevity is moderate lasts 3 to 5 hrs need to re apply once mid - day and it sets me for rest of the day. My Husband says its fresh but then he is not a huge fan for this perfume.

I used to love Ralph Lauren's Glamorous but they discontinued it. I came across this one and it reminded me a lot of it. It was like the same but a more moderate version. Great smell for a night out, very appealing. I feel expensive, powerful, and playful, when I wear it; its definitely a fun, flirty, scent to have.

Lovely fresh, petal-y and very much like a real Peony on a early Summer day. Fruity Blackcurrants and some overall "juicy" feelings - the scent for me for this summer.... I will stash this, as it is limited in Germany....
