Twilight Mauve
Zara
Our objective metric for performance per dollar.
"### The Scent Profile Twilight Mauve opens with a crisp cucumber and grapefruit accord, a clear echo of Be Delicious. The magnolia adds a slightly powdery floral nuance that's less prominent in the original. The heart reveals the green apple, though here it leans more synthetic; a sharper, almost artificial sweetness. The lily-of-the-valley is detectable, but the tuberose feels subdued. As it dries down, the woody notes emerge, a generic blend, alongside a creamy sandalwood effect and a subtle amber sweetness. Comparing it to DKNY Be Delicious Green, this is perhaps 88% similar. It captures the overall impression but lacks the refined naturalness of the original, particularly in the apple and floral notes. ### How Long Does it Last? The longevity is moderate. Expect around 3-4 hours on skin, perhaps a bit longer on clothing. Projection is fairly weak. It sits close to the skin after the initial 30 minutes. Definitely a skin scent after an hour. However, the synthetic quality is noticeable, especially in the heart. If you enjoy the Be Delicious DNA and are looking for a cheap, casual fragrance, this will do. However, those seeking a high-quality, natural-smelling experience will be disappointed. The added refinement and naturalness are significant. But, if budget is a key concern, Twilight Mauve presents a viable compromise."
NY Green
Dubai Essences
Our objective metric for performance per dollar.
"### How it Smells NY Green opens with a prominent cucumber note, accurately mimicking the initial crispness of DKNY Be Delicious. The grapefruit is dialed back, resulting in a slightly less citrus-forward introduction. The magnolia presence is subtle, lending a soft floral undertone. The heart showcases a green apple accord that's recognizably similar, but with a noticeable synthetic edge compared to the original. Lily-of-the-valley is present, though not as bright. Tuberose is a mere whisper, offering minimal creamy sweetness. The base aims for woody warmth. Sandalwood is more of a generic "woody note" and the amber is a muted, slightly powdery accord. I'd estimate this as an 91% accurate interpretation. The main difference lies in the quality of ingredients; NY Green lacks the original's nuanced sophistication. ### Conclusion NY Green by Dubai Essences provides a decent approximation of DKNY Be Delicious Green. If you appreciate the DNA, this clone delivers a similar experience . However, the synthetic facets are undeniable. The original DKNY boasts a higher quality profile, making it smoother and more refined. Otherwise, for a quick, inexpensive fix, NY Green is a viable option. ### Performance Reality Check Longevity is moderate. Expect around 4-5 hours on skin. Projection is intimate after the first hour, radiating within arm's length. It sits close, making it suitable for office wear. This is a skin scent relatively quickly."
