DKNY Be Delicious is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2004, created by Maurice Roucel.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

Be Delicious Eau de Parfum by DKNY opens with a juicy, dewy green apple and cucumber splash, layered over bright grapefruit and airy florals. Magnolia and lily of the valley add breezy floralcy, while violet leaf imparts a fresh green bite. A soft, woody-musky base with hints of amber and sandalwood grounds the scent, but it's the crisp, mouthwatering apple and garden-fresh greens that linger. Effortlessly vibrant, youthful, and clean, this is the olfactory equivalent of biting into a chilled apple on a spring morning.
