Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Be Delicious EDP
An iconic green apple burst that sparkles with freshness and modern energy. Instantly recognizable and endlessly wearable, it’s the ultimate feel-good everyday scent-crisp, clean, and never cloying.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Be Delicious - 845 EDP
No. 845 lands the crisp green-apple-and-cucumber opening that defines DKNY Be Delicious well, but the fruity freshness collapses into a plain musk far sooner than the original's crunchy signature holds.

Season and Occasion Fit

Be Delicious

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer
Also Works:
Autumn

With its crisp green apple, cucumber, and fresh floral notes, Be Delicious is ideal for spring and summer when light, refreshing scents shine. Its aquatic and citrus facets are less suited to cold weather.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Date Casual Sport

The clean, inoffensive, and energetic profile is perfect for daytime, office, or casual settings, with gentle projection that won't overwhelm. Its sporty freshness also makes it suitable for active occasions.

Be Delicious - 845

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

The crisp apple-cucumber freshness is built for spring and summer, feeling thin and out of place in cold weather.

Occasions

Best For:
Casual
Also Works:
Office

Fresh and inoffensive enough for daytime office wear and casual outings; too light and simple for a formal evening.
