About This Perfume
Think crisp apple and grapefruit with soft white florals: that is Donna Karan DKNY Be Delicious Eau de Toilette EDT. It opens with American apple, magnolia (a lemony, creamy flower) and grapefruit, moves into white lily, violet and tuberose (a creamy, heady white flower) and settles on white woods, sandalowood and white amber, among other notes. It leans feminine, though anyone can wear it.
This eau de toilette is best in spring and summer and is a daytime scent. It suits casual days and date nights. Released in 2010.
Worn, it holds for a few hours before it softens and stays fairly close.
Is it right for you?
- Best for: wearers drawn to floral and romantic perfumes for casual days.
- Skip if: heady white flowers give you a headache.
Around $55, a mid-priced white floral perfume.
