DKNY Be Delicious Orchard St

I love this fragrance from Donna Karan, it's a very sweet and fruity fragrance, I love all the lovely fruity notes in this especially the apple which is very prominent in this. The scent is very strong and intense and the longevity on my skin is quite good. I do like some of Donna Karan's other fragrances, especially her 'Be Delicious' range, and this new Orchard St is definitely my new favourite fragrance from her.

The only thing wrong with this fragrance is that it doesn't last forever 😅 Orchard St is happiness in a bottle! Incredibly juicy, delectably sweet and in that perfect range of not being overpowering yet not being unnoticeable. I don't detect any jasmine or woods, it's a pure fruit juice from start to finish. I will always have a bottle of this in my rotation!

This is perfect for summer days. Very fruity and bubbly scent. I love wearing this if we are going to the beach or to the park. Not sure if I will repurchase, since I have many similar fragrances.

It's one of the best "apples" in the DKNY apple collection. Nothing sharp or screechy (as are a lot of them), nothing simplistic-smelling, nothing too ephemeral - actually it becomes better in the course of time. After the fruity/juicy opening (a delicate over-ripe fruit note is present for the first quarter of an hour), floral notes become more prominant, only to give way to the gorgeous raspberry blended with suede and sandalwood in the final hours. Longevity is really good (I can still smell it on the top of my hand after 8 hours and after getting it sprinkled with water a number of times), the silage is quite reasonable too although not too huge. It's not too sweet, it smells surprisingly elaborate after the girlish head-notes go away. I've been testing it regularly since last summer and I'm seriously thinking of getting myself a bottle for summer due to its drydown that goes way beyond my expectations and due to the surprisingly good longevity. If it was released in a more classic looking bottle (not an plastic apple-toy kind of thing), I'm sure it would be perceived way better and more high-end by many than it is. Not only does the perfume deserve more attention, but it also calls for a "normal" packaging.

It's a very delightful fragrance, very happy, sweet and cheerful vibes. It's more girly than feminine in my opinion, a perfect gift for a 16 year old but I could see myself wearing it in my early 20s without hesitation. The berries are very prominent and are perfectly paired with the green apple. The leather isn't that obvious I guess?? Maybe a little bit. It's a good scent, I would overall give it a 7.5/10
