Be Delicious - 845

Name: Be Delicious - 845 Eau de Parfum
Brand: The Essence Vault

The Essence Vault Be Delicious - 845 is an Eau de Parfum. Be Delicious - 845 opens with Grapefruit, Cucumber, and Apple, settles into a heart of Tuberose and Magnolia, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, and Sandalwood. The Essence Vault's Be Delicious - 845 carries a Statement verdict, a green-led wear.

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.

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

The Essence Vault's No. 845 takes on DKNY Be Delicious, the fragrance that popularised the crisp green-apple accord in mainstream fruity florals. The opening is genuinely one of the more convincing parts of this dupe - the tart green apple over cucumber and grapefruit gives an immediate, mouth-watering freshness that echoes the original's playful energy closely. Magnolia and tuberose in the heart add the floral polish that keeps Be Delicious from reading as a simple fruit-basket scent, and this dupe captures that balance reasonably well for the first hour. Where it falls short is the drydown: DKNY's sandalwood-amber-musk base is engineered to keep a soft, crisp edge lingering for 4-6 hours, while No. 845's base thins out into an unremarkable sweet musk much sooner, losing the apple-cucumber crunch that makes the original distinctive. It's a fun, inexpensive way to get the fresh fruity-floral mood for a daytime outing or casual office wear, but it won't carry the same all-day vibrant energy as the real Be Delicious.
