Besides, it also adds a luxurious touch to your skincare routine, with a sensorial texture and a soothing floral and woody scent.

It's all about Y2K fashion and beauty trends now, but there's nothing that encapsulates that era more than the fragrances that dominated the scene. One of which is DKNY Be Delicious, the iconic fruity and juicy perfume in an apple-shaped bottle. 20 years later, it's still just as appealing!
As classic as it is, it's still exciting that this nostalgic scent has been reinterpreted with a twist in the DKNY Be Delicious Orchard St. Eau de Parfum.
Inspired by the high energy and bold vibes of New York City's Lower East Side, this new fragrance is just as uplifting, invigorating and feminine as the original, but with a sophisticated edge. It starts off with bright notes of Pink Lady Apple and Grapefruit along with Pink Pepper. Luscious Jasmine, Orris florals, Black Raspberry and Pomegranate form a sweet and carefree heart, while base notes of Creamy Cedarwood and Leather ground the scent with a polished finish.
The EDP retails at $89 (30ml), $119 (50ml) and $149 (100ml) at Tangs, Takashimaya and ishopchangi.com.
