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.
