REVIEW: DKNY Be Delicious City Blossom Urban Violet EDT...

Never enough - that's how I feel about fragrance ♥ It doesn't matter how many bottles are on my shelf, there's always another that captures my heart, and my most recent ticker entrapment was orchestrated by DKNY Be Delicious Limited Edition Urban Violet.  If you've a passion for violets and soft, powdery florals with a splash of fruit, then you will fall in love with Urban Violet, just like I have ♥...

There are around 60 variations in the Be Delicious range, the majority in similar almost spherical bottles, which are cute-as, but a challenge to photograph (reflections!) and actually quite difficult to handle when you want to decant the perfume into something more purse-friendly, but I won't hold that against Ms Karan because she designs such glorious everyday scents for the young at heart. I have two others - Skin Fresh Blossom EDP (reviewed HERE) and Eau So Intense (reviewed HERE) and was therefore already familiar with this particular DNA...

And so as luck would have it, the universe was most definitely looking after my interests a few Saturdays ago when I popped into the local Priceline Beauty Store that was closing down (sob!) and spotted this fabulously purple elixir all alone on a "Clearance" table for $10. $10? Are you serious? I took it to the counter to have it checked, and sure enough, that was the price. So my perfume stars had aligned yet again, and this fruity fresh floral precious was mine ♥...

Released in 2014, her opening notes are a green burst of apple blossom, crisp red berries and juicy mandarin, followed by a garden bed of freesia petals, and then...and then...the violets raise their pretty heads and start swaying in the breeze, their soft scent wafting up into the fragrant cloud that by now is surrounding me. Sigh. A few blissful minutes later, the sandalwood, musk and orris lend their support to the fruit and flowers, and then this fresh, fun and carefree strictly all-girl band plays the Urban Violet symphony on my skin for the next few hours ♥...

Despite being a limited edition, Priceline still has this 50ml bottle on their website for $49. She's an absolute darling, and I only wish she was an EDP just so I wouldn't have to spritz quite so frequently, and the bottle would have a better chance of lasting me a full season. As it is, the level has already dropped considerably, but I'm putting what's left of this sweetheart away till next Spring when I'll dust her down, polish her mirror cap, and we'll blossom and bloom fragrantly together ♥...

Take care of you,
