DKNY Be Delicious Eau de Parfum 100ml Spray

DKNY Be Delicious Eau de Parfum 100ml is one of the most iconic fruity-floral fragrances of the 2000s — a fresh, slightly green apple-led composition for women, launched in 2004 and signed by master perfumer Maurice Roucel. A sparkling opening of green apple, cucumber, grapefruit and magnolia leads into a soft floral heart of tuberose, violet, white muguet and rose, before settling into a quiet, polished base of sandalwood, amber and warm woods.

About DKNY

DKNY (Donna Karan New York) was founded in 1989 as the more accessible diffusion line of Donna Karan's New York fashion house. The brand's fragrance arm, produced by Estée Lauder Companies, debuted with DKNY Women in 1999, but it was Be Delicious in 2004 — instantly recognisable by its green-apple-shaped flacon — that became the brand's most successful fragrance and helped define the 2000s "fruity floral" trend.

Who it's for

Be Delicious suits women looking for a cheerful, modern fruity-floral signature with a clean apple-and-floral character. The composition is at its best in spring and summer, ideal for office, daytime and casual evening contexts, and has long been a popular first or starter bottle for younger wearers. Anyone drawn to fresh, fruit-led scents will recognise the territory — Be Delicious helped define the modern category.

How to wear it

Hold the bottle around 15 cm from the skin and spray onto pulse points — wrists, neck, and behind the ears. Apply to clean, moisturised skin straight after a shower for the longest wear. Two sprays usually balance well; the apple-and-floral heart blooms over the first hour as the warm sandalwood-and-amber drydown develops on skin.
