Scent of the Moment: DKNY Be Delicious Fresh Blossom

Delicate. Sweet. Fresh florals.

That's how I would describe this current scent I am wearing from DKNY Be Delicious Eau So Intense fragrance line. 

SRP @ PhP 3,600 / 50ml

"An intense new take on the DKNY Delicious Fresh Blossom fragrance that marries freshness, vibrancy, and femininity.

All the things you love about Fresh Blossom is now intensified in an irresistibly seductive scent."

- DKNY.com

Another wonderful gift from Aramis and Designer Fragrances (ADF), DKNY Be Delicious Fresh Blossom Eau So Intense has notes of rose and lily of the valley that's formulated with a "more textural, intense floral bouquet that is long lasting and fresh."

There are two other variants I have not smelled yet but I heard each one is intensely "delicious" with fruity and elegant scents that will surely appeal to our different personalities and preferences.  Their gift sets make fantastic holiday presents too!

Holiday gift set: Fresh Blossom EDP Spray 50ml + Body Lotion 100ml

I am not so picky when it comes to fragrances.  I'll wear it as long as they are fresh, light, with a hint of floral or citrus notes, can be powdery or warm like vanilla - which is why I also love DNKY Pure Vanilla. 

At first, I found it difficult to spray, pressing on the top of this round bottle.  While I struggled to spritz on my nape, I think I sprayed too much the first time and found it too strong for my senses.  I then realized a little goes a long way! It really lives up to it being "Eau So Intense"! 

DKNY Be Delicious Fresh Blossom Eau So Intense is now growing on me since it smells lighter during the day when I wear it.  It's a fine, happy floral scent I can wear everyday.

Scent of the Moment: pureDKNY Vanilla

"To be Pure is to be ourselves.  This soft floral scent features a drop of vanilla in water as its signature. Accords of lotus flower and Bulgarian rose harmonize with jasmine, freesia, and lush orchid.  It finishes with warm amber and creamy sandalwood." - www.dkny.com

The title is an obvious giveaway.  I've been wearing pureDKNY almost everyday for a month now.  I received this gift from Aramis and Designer Fragrances (ADF) early August and I must say, I was hooked from my first spritz of pureDNKY Vanilla. As soon as I got a whiff, I knew this is my kind of fragrance.  I have a short list of fragrances I use alternately.  Depending on my mood, I switch from a few light, fresh citrus-scented brands to more elegantly-scented fragrances.  

I don't have what you call a signature scent.   My mood mainly dictates what I wear, be it clothes, to shoes, to fragrances.  And I've long been using vanilla-scented body sprays and lotions, so if you're like me, you will also love this pureDNKY Vanilla.

DKNY actually created this Pure fragrance line for a cause, which is very admirable and noteworthy:  "It's more than just a scent, it is a state of mind, a way of being.  Each drop of vanilla is sourced by vanilla bean farmers in Uganda to try and help support local communities and fight global poverty."

I also learned that the whole packaging of this product is made with recyclable materials, from the paper box to the light aluminum cap.

What I like about this fragrance:

As quoted up top, pureDKNY features a drop of vanilla, creating a mood that can evoke...

• Sweetness 
• Warmth
• Comfort
• Calm
• Simplicity
• Elegance

It's actually just a hint of sweet vanilla, not even as strong as my Bath & BodyWorks Warm Vanilla Sugar body spray.

Much like the first photo I took above, with the thick and cozy pink sweater, just a couple of sprays are enough to make me feel good and fuzzy all over every time I wear it.  PureDKNY Vanilla is simply a feel-good scent that can take you from day to night.  A quick spray at my nape does it for me.

SRP @ PhP 3,500 - 1.7oz. / 50ml

With the rainy-cool weather we're having lately, the delightfully warm scent is just the perfect fragrance to wear.  It makes a wonderful gift idea too, especially with the coming holidays.

PureDKNY Vanilla is my scent of the moment.  What's yours?

pureDKNY is available at all Rustan's department stores.

Coach Signature Fragrance for Everyday

"The first fragrance from Coach embodies the many personalities of the Coach woman…timeless, chic and sophisticated."

Yes, Coach has a fragrance line. From the same prestigious American brand of leather goods comes this crisp, vibrant scent I've been wearing everyday since I received this gift. It's light and citrus-y with a faint floral scent. I am loving my Coach Signature cologne!

This is the first time I am featuring a fragrance that I am actually using.  If you could see my dresser, I only have a handful that I use alternately, from body sprays to colognes.  I don't wear much daily so I haven't used up most of them.  But this unexpected surprise may have sparked a new addiction. Call me crazy but I just can't stop smelling myself after every spray! Hahahaha!

Pretty, chic and playful:  a lighter version of our original Signature scent, blending soft, fresh fruits and florals with a heart of fragrant yellow blossoms and warm hints of amber and cedar wood. - Coach Fragrance

You may have to agree with me that it's most challenging to describe a scent. To smell is to believe. :)))  Many thanks to Aramis and Designer Fragrance (ADF) -- a division of Estee Lauder Company.  I don't need to attempt to describe this wonderful fragrance and will just share the official product description. ADF also carries other fragrances for men and women including DNKY, Sean Jean, and Tommy Hilfiger.

Signature Eau de Toilette - SRP @ P3,700 / 50ml

The scent is classically inspired with a unique blend of soft florals. The topnote sparkles with tart green mandarin, guava, lush violet petals and giant waterlily. Its complex scent melds honey, orange flower, mimosa and a touch of jasmine. To further enhance the floral signature, the drydown adds a luxurious finish with smooth and supple sandalwood and amber-wood. The result is a beautifully blended fragrance that represents modern beauty, elegance and charm.

The clear elegant glass bottle carries Coach's signature pattern, the Lozenge logo shaped cap, accented with metallic print hangtag charm detail.

You have to smell this fresh scent for yourself ladies. A spritz will surely perk up your day! Use sparingly if you like a more faint scent. They also have Coach Signature Eau de Parfum if you prefer this.

Go to the nearest Coach counters and spray some on.  Coach’s Signature Fragrance is exclusively distributed in all Rustan’s Department Stores (Makati, Shangri-la, Gateway, Ayala Town Center, Ayala Center Cebu), and Robinson’s Place Manila.
