It takes a lot for a perfume to stand the test of time, and the classic fragrances that transcend decades tend to be bold and sophisticated scents like Chanel No.5 or YSL Opium. So as someone who gravitates towards softer, more easy-to-wear scents, a lot of my perfume collection is made up of fairly modern fragrances—think Phlur Missing Person, Glossier You and anything by Bibbi. However, while revisiting some of the first perfumes that I ever wore for a feature written by a fellow beauty editor friend, I started thinking about some more nostalgic fragrances and whether any of them left a lasting impression. And, it turns out, there is one Y2K classic that really does hold up—DKNY Be Delicious.
