The first time I used this perfume was the winter of 2008. It was a birthday present and I was going on a vacation to Cuba for my birthday. Since I thought I had already found my favorite perfume a long time ago, I decided to bring it with me anyway, perhaps even give it to someone in housekeeping as a tip. Whoa...good thing I didn't! Turned out that it was exactly the kind of perfume I love...and there aren't many! I ended up wearing it almost every night. I got more compliments (and oddly enough mostly from men wanting to buy it for thier S.O.). A couple even wrote the name down on a napkin. When I returned home I went back to using my other faves. I didn't wear the DKNY again until just this summer. What a delightful surprise, it totally brought back memories of my trip...which really rocked. I guess it's because that was the only week I wore it, then went months using others so as soon as I put it on a year and a half later the smell of not only the perfume, but the beach, the salty water, the food...everything from my trip seemed to waft through my nostrils. Yes, it's now like comfort food. Whenever I wear it I remember my great trip. Sometimes when I'm not even going anywhere, I'll put some on just to remember what the great 'smell' of my vacation. I don't think I'll ever be without it now. The irony of the name delicious when the smell is like comfort food is not lost on me...lol. -
