The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2014, DKNY Be Delicious City Blossom Empire Apple by Donna Karan is a Floral Fruity fragrance that captures the essence of urban freshness. The scent opens with a crisp blend of cucumber and grapefruit, providing an invigorating start that gives way to the delicate notes of magnolia and green apple. This composition is balanced by a heart of lily-of-the-valley, violet, rose, and tuberose, adding layers of floral sweetness. The base notes of woody notes, sandalwood, and amber create a warm and comforting finish.
Apply two sprays to pulse points for a balanced experience. The cucumber and grapefruit notes are bright but fade quickly, so reapply if you want to maintain that initial freshness throughout the day. The woody base provides longevity, ensuring the scent stays close to your skin.
