NY Green

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.
