DKNY Be Delicious
As the bottle and marketing images suggest, DKNY Be Delicious smells like green apples. It’s a fresh, zesty fragrance which includes notes of Cucumber and Grapefruit as well as a hint of delicate Magnolia.
Even though originally marketed at women I think DKNY Be Delicious is a unisex scent – who wouldn’t want to smell like fresh green apples!?
It’s an Eau de Parfum but not a strong scent, so it’s ideal for hot summer days when you can use fragrance to refresh and lift the mood.
DKNY Be Delicious Eau de Toilette
DKNY Be Delicious Eau de Toilette is a slightly different scent to the original fragrance.
The Green Apple note is replaced by a red American Apple perfume note, and a white floral heart of Lily, Tuberose and Magnolia create a softer more feminine fragrance.
DKNY Be Delicious Eau de Toilette is now discontinued but still available here.
DKNY Be Delicious Fresh Blossom
DKNY Be Delicious Fresh Blossom is a fruity floral scent. A Red Apple note is accompanied by a Rose , Jasmine and Lily of the Valley heart to create the feeling of blossom. There is also an Apricot note in her which adds a fruity warmth to the florals.
Not as ‘appley’ as the original, DKNY Be Delicious Fresh Blossom is more of a feminine scent which focuses on floral notes.
DKNY Golden Delicious
Named after the Golden Delicious breed of apple, DKNY Golden Delicious keeps the signature Apple fragrance note but again uses florals like Lily and African Orange flower to create a more rounded fruity floral perfume.
DKNY Golden Delicious is now discontinued but still available here.
DKNY Delicious Delights Cool Swirl
Three different fragrances were released as part of a Delicious Delights collection.
The green bottle is DKNY Delicious Delights Cool Swirl. This is a sweet Coconut and Pistachio Sorbet scent. There is a tropical feel to Be Delicious Cool Swirl which is quite different to the original Be Delicious fresh apple vibe.
DKNY Delicious Delights Cool Swirl is now discontinued but still available here.
DKNY Delicious Delights Fruity Rooty
DKNY Be Delicious Fruity Rooty is a Blackberry and Blueberry Sorbet scent with a hint of Violet which reminds me of Marc Jacobs Daisy Dream.
There is a hint of Candy Apple which keeps to the sweet theme of the Delicious Delights range.
DKNY Delicious Delights Fruity Rooty is discontinued but still available here.
DKNY Delicious Delights Dreamsicle
DKNY Delicious Delights Dreamsicle comes in a cute pink bottle. The fragrance is a fruity Peach and Apricot sorbet. Be Delicious Dreamsicle is probably one of the fruitiest scents in the entire range.
Be Delicious Dreamsicle is discontinued but still available here.
DKNY Be Tempted
DKNY Be Tempted is probably the sexiest fragrance in the Be Delicious perfume range.
A sweet Liquorice and Vanilla are combined with feminine Violets and Rose. There is a slightly amber feel to the perfume which is derived from Myrrh and Indonesian Patchouli notes in the base.
There is a hint of Green Apple and Red Berries which provides a nod to the fresh fruity theme of Be Delicious.
DKNY Be Tempted Eau so Blush
DKNY Be Tempted Eau so Blush is a really pretty Peony and Magnolia scent accompanied by a really zesty Blood Orange and Pink Grapefruit.
Although discontinued, DKNY Be Tempted Eau so Blush is still available here.
DKNY Be Delicious Crystallised
DKNY Be Delicious Crystallised and DKNY Be Delicious Fresh Blossom Crystallised were limited bottles containing the original scents.
DKNY Be Delicious City Girl Collection
Three perfumes were released in the DKNY Be Delicious City Girl Collection. City Brooklyn Girl is a Blueberry scent, Nolita Girl is a Raspberry and Violet scent, and Chelsea Girl has the signature Green Apple note combined with Rose.
DKNY Be Delicious Summer Squeeze
DKNY Be Delicious Summer Squeeze take the original Be Delicious Green Apple scent and adds fresh citrus Orange, Grapefruit and a hint of Ginger.
DKNY Be Delicious Summer Squeeze is discontinued but still available here.
DKNY Be Delicious Coconuts About Summer
DKNY Be Delicious Coconuts About Summer is a fun, tropical Coconut Nectar perfume. I love coconut scents like Estee Lauder Bronze Goddess, I always find the smell of coconut makes me feel like I’m on vacation.
Be Delicious Coconuts About Summer is quite a light coconut scent so I recommend it for the day time.
DKNY Be Delicious Coconuts About Summer is discontinued but still available here.
DKNY Be 100% Delicious
DKNY Be 100% Delicious is a fresh, modern Orange citrus, Pear and Blackcurrant.
There is a lovely Orange Blossom in the heart of the perfume which is combined with Sandalwood and a warm Tonk Bean base to create a very wearable scent.
DKNY Be Delicious Guava Goddess
DKNY Be Delicious Guava Goddess is a summery, fresh Guava Blossom scent combined with Mandarin Orange.
The Guava scent creates a tropical vibe which makes it feel like a perfect vacation scent.
Be Delicious Orchard St
DKNY Be Delicious Orchard St Eau de Parfum is one of my favourite fragrances from DKNY. It starts with a fresh raspberry and apple top note but soon develops to reveal a lovely cashmere jasmine note which has echos of Ariana Grande Cloud. I find it lasts well and is perfect for any fans of fruity floral fragrances like me!
Be Tempted Eau So Blush
DKNY Be Tempted Eau So Blush Eau de Parfum is a classic floral fragrance with notes of peony and lily-of-the-vally. It has a slightly powdery undertone but overall its a fresh floral fragrance suitable for everyday wear.
