The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2012, DKNY Be Delicious Paris is a Chypre Floral fragrance that captures the essence of the city's sophisticated and chic residents. The composition opens with a vibrant red apple note, which gives way to the soft florals of violet and jasmine at its heart. The base notes of patchouli and vanilla create a warm, enveloping finish that evokes the Parisian atmosphere of understated elegance.

How to wear it

Apply this fragrance lightly — the red apple top note is bright but fleeting. The floral heart and vanilla base take about an hour to fully bloom on skin, so give it time to develop before adding more sprays.
