Beautynomics – The Economics of Vanity » Blog Archive » My Cold Weather Fragrance : DKNY Candy Apples!

As we slowly say goodbye to the sunny weather, and make way for chilly, snuggly weather, fragrance choices also change, believe it or not!

Light scents right now just seem to be too…light. With the chilly weather, somehow, I need to feel warm, as I believe that there is such fragrance that gives me a sense of warmth.

I embrace, and say hello to cold weather by wearing my latest scent, DKNY Delicious Candy Apples in Sweet Caramel. Yes, I have my scents in very cute packaging that look like apples, that coincides with my childhood nickname, Apple. I totally love it!

A whimsical candied fusion drizzles with luscious fruits, delicious flowers and mouth watering edibles. Tantalizing candy apple & pear tease you with temptation. A soft kiss of marshmallow is pure comfort. Decadent jasmine petals flirt with delicate muguet while velvety violet leaves add sparkle with an edge of green freshness. The fluid charm of creamy caramel is addictive as it liquefies with whipped vanilla. Satiate your sweet tooth with its playful seduction.

At first, I was afraid of the name, as I myself don’t even drink caramel frappe, as I deem it too sweet! The name itself ( being Caramel Apple ) was too sweet for my taste, but at first whiff, it somehow appeased me that it wasn’t as sweet as it claimed it would be. Having a scent too sweet is a huge turnoff for me, so I was quite cautious with this, as it claims in its description. As I sprayed this on me, I was surprised that it didn’t smell icky sweety, and I just smelled wonderfully clean, a little bit meringue-ish, reminding me of Thierry Mugler’s Angel, and a sense of warmth. Scents need to be a bit heavier ( but not TOO heavy ) to sustain cold weather, my own mind thinks aloud. My DKNY Be Delicious Fresh Blossom would have to take a backseat for now and let this be my scent for now!

With the other variants, Ripe Raspberry and Juicy Berry, I’m guessing that they’d smell like sweet fruits with that appealing clean feel! Somehow, I am intruiged! Well, what’s your cold weather scent?

*DKNY Delicious Candy Apples are available in all fragrance sections of Rustans department stores.
