DKNY Be Delicious Fresh Blossom

I never used to be one for perfumes,

colognes or anything else that

brings with it smells and scents.

 But that doesn't mean I never had any.

I've received a good number of bottles from friends, one from The Fiancé (his first ever birthday gift to me =p), and even bought some of my own over the years. But I never actually finished any. Haha. Surprise, surprise. I've gone through more barely-used bottles of perfume than I can remember. And believe me, my dresser used to be a graveyard of perfume bottles that never had a chance to live up to their potential.

Until I discovered DKNY Be Delicious Fresh Blossom.

This is the ONE and ONLY perfume I use. My signature scent, so to speak. And I know it is so cos my ex-housemates used to recognise me for it. =p You see, I once asked The (Ex-)Owner to buy me a miniature from the airport on his way back from Thailand. Well, when he brought it back, he let The Housemate take a whiff first and The Housemate immediately said, "That smells like Pam." HAHA. (Mind you, up until the time I upped and left KL, I've only known and lived with the dudes for 5 months in total.)


Oh, and with DKNY Be Delicious Fresh Blossom, I've finally used a perfume enough times to make it through the entire 100ml bottle. That in itself is a miracle, my friends, cos that has NEVER happened to me before. No joke. In fact, I don't think I've ever even made it through half a bottle of perfume. Haha. Think it's cos I usually get bad, bad headaches after. But I don't get that with this one. So since it's a scent I'm recognised for and it's the only perfume I like using, it automatically becomes my wedding day perfume.

Confused? Well, let me explain

what that is and why that is to be.

I once read in a wedding blog that the bride-to-be (sorry, can't remember which blogger liao) actually went through the trouble of preparing a specific type of perfume for her wedding day. No, not just for herself, but for her entire bridal party! The rules were... her scent, or no scent. Sounds unbelievably anal and dictatorial of her, right?? Well, not really. Why? Here's why...


The blogger went on to explain that she was only doing it after hearing some advice she got from a friend of hers who was a wedding planner. You see, on special days, women tend to put on more perfume than usual. And if a group of women all put on more of their own different perfumes, the whole rojak mishmash of smells will just ruin the everything, much in the same way that too many cooks will inevitably spoil the broth.

Well, I thought her explanation made perfect sense

so that's what I'm doing for my bridal party, too. =)

DKNY Be Delicious Fresh Blossom

was naturally my scent of choice. =p

I actually wasn't planning on making a purchase so early. (Ok fine, 3 months to the wedding isn't early anymore but... technically, I still have some time. T-e-c-h-n-i-c-a-l-l-y. =p) But the super salesman at the Parkson DKNY counter was giving me an offer I just couldn't refuse! He was willing to let me swap all the stuff I didn't want in the set... for everything I did. Look!

DKNY Be Delicious Fresh Blossom (50ml), Miniature DKNY Be Delicious

Fresh Blossom (7ml), Limited Edition DKNY Be Delicious Fresh Blossom (5ml)

& Be Delicious (5ml) Dual Rollerball Pen, together with a
DKNY Be Delicious Apple A Day Body Lotion (50ml),
PLUS a complementary travel bag I didn't bother shooting.

All that for just RM315*. That's a real steal!

My receipt with a "Good Sales!" note on top

that made me smile on the way to the counter. =)

A small price to pay if it means knowing for sure that my girls and I are gonna smell great TOGETHER (and I also won't have to fear the possibility of a headache) on our wedding day. Big, fat yay! =) Now, that's one more to-do to tick off my never-ending list of to-dos. Phew!


* Parkson happened to have a promo where shoppers get RM10 for every RM100 spent so I received RM30 back from this purchase. Meaning all this (plus the complementary travel bag) effectively only cost me RM285. Steal! Steal! Steal! =D
