100% Red Delicious

I was reading the magazines that xiaobai gave me as birthday presents. I came across their freebies section and decided to participate in some that I thought my chances would be reasonably high. I came across the DKNY Red Delicious Fragrance Launch.

damn...ain't she hot...

One of the highlights was to wear red on the day of the event launch at TANGS and get a free vial of the new perfume. The other was to bring a male partner and participate in an hourly game, from which the winner would walk away with a $168 DKNY voucher. I was definitely going for the big one since me and ZY were both relatively free that day.

We arrived at Tangs just slightly over 6 ( the promotion ends at 7) and there was an event booth stationed just at the entrance of Tangs, where Steven Lim is at usually. Oh btw, beware, because he seemed to have extended his territory to Lucky Plaza. Which reminds me, a male model from my agency reminds me of him. But I shall not digress. Anyway, as I approached the booth, I fished out the voucher cut out and seeing that I was wearing red, the sales promoters gave me a vial of the newly launched. BLoody hell...maybe it's because I'm super cheapo, but the vial is really a vial. I mean it was so tiny that I think I would finish it in like 2 sprays. So I was determined to play the game. From the promoter, we knew that the hourly event would start in approximately 15 minutes, so we lurked around the area near the booth for the whole 15 minutes. When the Deejays started talking, I dragged ZY and planted ourselves right in front of the stage, in clear view of the Deejays so that they wouldn't miss us even if they were terribly myopic.

The game kicked off with 2 couples on the grandstand, us and this other Malay couple. The Emcee would spritz the new fragrance onto one memeber in each team and the other member was supposed to point out where the perfume went to. I requested that ZY be the one to be smelt out because I had went around perfume testing before the game and had all sorts of fragrances all over me. Me and the girl from the the other team got blindfolded. Perhaps my unsually big head helped me because it stretched the blindfold cloth until it allowed some light to come through and I could vaguely make out where on ZY did they spritz the perfume on. Once somewhere on the left and once somewhere on the right. And they did not go too low. Once they said go, I pretend to fell around to find out where ZY was when I could actually see his outline right in front of me. Just as I was doing that, ZY pressed his left wrist onto me. It was still wet and I immediately went down to the level of his wrist and took a whiff~ There it was. And then to the next spot. That was a bit trickier. I thought it was somewhere on the right, somewhere from his armpit level to his waist, so I went up and down that area but I couldn't smell anything. Just then, the MCs announced that the 2nd couple had just found the first spot. Getting nervous, I made some "clue please" noise to ZY hoping somehow he'd understand me through telepathy. Responding to my noises, he made some noises that sounded like "higher", so I went higher, and there it was, the fragrance was lingering at the nape of his neck. Yay~ We won the $168 DKNY hamper!!!

The MCs presented us with a red, DKNY hamper, and the other team a whitish looking bag. *Chey* Heeh I like to win prizes...




DKNY Red Delicious Women


DKNY introduces a second bite of temptation with a new, limited-edition scent. Aptly named DKNY Red Delicious, this sexy fragrance is a bit more daring, a bit more tantalizing - completely irresistible.
A glittering champagne accord shimmers with exotic lychee, while red raspberry flirtatiously mingles with crisp apple. The heart intensifies with rich, velvety rose combined with lush notes of drenched violet petals, evolving to a rich, sensual blend of vanilla bean crushed with warm patchouli and a luminous amber note. Capping off the sultry experience, a sensual skin accord mixes with raspberry for a soft kiss of sweetness.

Red Delicious Men


DKNY introduces a second bite of temptation with a new, limited-edition scent. Aptly named DKNY Red Delicious, this sexy fragrance is a bit more daring, a bit more tantalizing - completely irresistible.
A dark and spicy impression from cognac, rum, saffron flower, and cardamom combine with sparkling citrus nuances of bergamot and mandarin flower. A provocative cocktail mixed with Coffee Absolute Africa, apple juice liqueur, and a splash of vanilla vodka makes for the perfect energy boost. The masculine, edged, floral bouquet of Davana flower and tiger orchid gets a cool vibe from airy ozone, while sandalwood, okoume wood, moss, patchouli, and iris keep the sexy energy going into the night.
