The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2022, Be Delicious Guava Goddess by Donna Karan is a vibrant and inviting aromatic fruity fragrance for women. The composition opens with the bright zest of mandarin orange before giving way to the lush, floral scent of guava blossom. This distinctive middle note creates a delicate balance between fruitiness and florality, which is further grounded by the warm, woody base of sandalwood. Guava Goddess stands out as an ode to fresh, youthful energy within Donna Karan's signature style.
This fragrance blooms best when applied to pulse points and left to develop naturally. The mandarin orange top note is fleeting, so reapply every few hours for continuous vibrancy. Guava Goddess reads better close to skin than across a room, making it perfect for daytime wear.
