Delivers Be Delicious's signature crunchy green apple opening faithfully, but softens into a plainer floral-woody base than the tangier original.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

024 BB goes after DKNY Be Delicious's most recognisable feature: that bright, almost edible green apple top note layered with cucumber and grapefruit, which the dupe reproduces convincingly in the first hour of wear. The heart moves into a similar magnolia-lily-of-the-valley-tuberose bouquet that keeps the youthful, playful character of the original intact, and the fruity-green-floral shape that made Be Delicious an early-2000s icon is instantly recognisable here. The gap opens in the base, where the real fragrance carries a distinctive musky, slightly urban woody-amber trail that gives it staying power and edge; this version resolves into a softer, more generic sandalwood-amber that fades faster and reads less distinctive once the apple burns off. It is a strong option for anyone wanting that crisp green-apple splash for significantly less outlay, even if it does not have quite the same lasting bite as the original bottle.
