Launched in 2016, DKNY Be Tempted by Donna Karan is a Floral Fruity Gourmand fragrance that captures the essence of modern femininity. The composition begins with vibrant red berries and apple, balanced by the fresh zing of lemon and licorice's subtle spice. At its heart, rose and violet merge into orange blossom's delicate sweetness, while vanilla and patchouli create a warm, balsamic base that feels both indulgent and approachable.

Application Tips
DKNY Be Tempted is best enjoyed close to the skin rather than sprayed liberally. The top notes are fleeting but impactful, so one or two sprays on pulse points will ensure that the rich base notes have time to develop fully throughout the day.
