Which Should You Buy?
A luscious gourmand fragrance that showcases a playful, sweet side perfect for romantic or casual settings.
A budget take on DKNY Sweet Delicious Pink Macaroon. The juicy kumquat-nectarine opening, nutty marzipan heart and vanillary tonka-amber base all come through, and since the original was already light and short-lived, the dupe loses little beyond a touch of polish.
