About This Perfume
Donna Karan DKNY Be Tempted smells like sweet berries and apple, rose petals, vanilla. It opens with red berries, licorice and apple, moves into rose, violet and orange blossom and settles on vanilla, Indonesian patchouli leaf and myrrh. It leans feminine, though anyone can wear it.
This eau de parfum is best in spring, fall and winter and is easy to wear day or night. It suits casual days. Released in 2016.
Wearers report that it lasts a solid half day on skin, and projects to about arm's length.
