The forbidden fruit

Bite me: The DKNY apple sells at a rate of eight bottles a minute.

An apple a day, keeps the smell away. Well, a DKNY Be Delicious apple, that is. Taking its cue from New York’s iconic apple, the perfume represents the city’s spontaneity and seductiveness and packs it all into one round bottle.The delectable apple-scented wonder combines the apple’s crisp green wetness with magnolia and grapefruit. It is so irresistably appealing that it sells roughly four million bottles a year at a rate of eight bottles a minute.

This year, the beloved DKNY perfume celebrates its fifth year of olfactory success by coming out with the Be Delicious eau de toilette spray. It promises to bring everything you love about the Be Delicious eau de parfum and make it brighter, lighter and more refreshing. But it doesn’t stop there. Be Delicious Fresh Blossom and Delicious Night are also due to come out, along with a variety of seasonal, limited edition versions.

So do as the New Yorkers do and take a bite out of that juicy apple. In this case, a spritz will do just the trick.
