Be Delicious Orchard Street Eau de Parfum, misc

If you want to bottle the neon energy of Manhattan's Lower East Side, Be Delicious Orchard Street is exactly that kind of scent. It opens bright and punchy with pink Lady Apple and grapefruit zested up with a kick of pink pepper - basically fruit in the best possible way. The heart settles into lush jasmine and smooth orris flower before darker raspberry notes come out to play over pomegranate on creamy cedarwood dressed in leather for a polished finish that feels like downtown New York rather than anywhere else you'd expect this combination. It is fruity and floral with an amber undertone which means it works as a cheerful every-day favourite during summer but also holds its own when the air turns cooler. The 30ml bottle makes a great gift for someone who loves something spirited and unpretentious - if your friend has that infectious laugh or always knows where to find the best late-night diner, this is her fragrance. It has plenty of staying power from morning coffee through dinner plans without being overwhelming on whoever you are standing near. Whether it is a weekend stroll or an evening out with friends the scent just feels right for whatever your mood happens to be that day.
