The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2019, DKNY Be Delicious Bay Breeze by Donna Karan is an aromatic fruity fragrance that captures the essence of a refreshing coastal breeze. The composition opens with vibrant tangerine and bergamot, balanced by sweet apricot and raspberry. Juniper berries add a fresh spicy note, while sandalwood and musk provide a warm, powdery base. This scent embodies the carefree spirit of summer, blending fruity sweetness with aromatic freshness.

How to wear it

Apply two sprays to pulse points for a balanced mix of bright top notes and warm base. This fragrance blooms best in the warmth of skin, so avoid excessive layering or spraying from too far away.
