DKNY DKNY Be Delicious Skin Hydrating is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2013.

A lighter, softer take on the classic Be Delicious, this flanker is divisive among fans. Some find it a watery disappointment, while others adore its subtle, fresh approach and hydrating twist.

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Sport

Its weak longevity and intimate sillage make it perfect for close-quarters like the office or casual daytime wear where you don't want to overwhelm. It's too subtle for a date or formal events, and while fresh, its performance might not hold up for intense sport.

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 bright, crisp burst of green apple and refreshing cucumber, zesty grapefruit cutting through the initial sweetness. The heart unfurls a delicate floral bouquet of dewy rose, ethereal lily of the valley, and a hint of creamy tuberose. It settles into a gentle, soft base of warm woody notes, smooth amber, and a touch of creamy sandalwood, creating a clean and subtly enveloping scent.
