Our verdict on DKNY Be Tempted: Statement

This one's a proper "love-it-or-hate-it" affair. Some reckon Be Tempted is a hidden gem with a truly unique red berry and licorice twist, while others find it a synthetic, syrupy headache waiting to happen. You'll either adore its seductive depth or be utterly put off by its sweetness.

Its initial strength, sweetness, and depth make it less suitable for the office or sport. However, the sensual and mysteriously sweet accords, combined with community sentiment about feeling 'sexy' and 'sassy', mark it out as a top choice for date nights and evening wear.

About

DKNY Be Tempted dives in with a juicy, tart burst of red berries and apple, sharpened by a surprising hint of licorice. As it settles, a sweet, dark rose and violet emerge, draped over a warm, balsamic base of vanilla, earthy patchouli, and mysterious myrrh. It's a journey from bright fruity sweetness to a deeper, more sensual dry-down.
