DKNY DKNY Be Delicious City Blossom Empire Apple is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2014. DKNY Be Delicious City Blossom Empire Apple opens with Grapefruit, Magnolia, and Cucumber, settles into a heart of Rose, Violet, Tuberose, and Lily of the Valley, and dries down to a base of Woody Notes, Amber, and Sandalwood. DKNY's DKNY Be Delicious City Blossom Empire Apple carries a Statement verdict, a green-led wear.

A divisive scent that some find overwhelmingly apple-heavy and synthetic, while for others it's a nostalgic, fresh, and compliment-getting favourite. You'll either love its crisp fruitiness or find it a bit much.

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.

Its moderate sillage and long-lasting nature make it suitable for casual wear where it can shine without being overbearing. The fresh, fruity profile is less ideal for very formal settings but works well for daytime activities or even light sporting due to its invigorating feel.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Opens with a refreshing burst of grapefruit and green cucumber, lifted by the sweet floral whisper of magnolia. The heart blossoms with a bouquet of rose, violet, and lily of the valley, intermingled with a distinctive crunchy green apple note. The dry down settles into a soft, woody embrace of sandalwood and warm amber, providing a subtle anchor to the bright fruit and florals.
