The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2011, DKNY Delicious Candy Apples Fresh Orange is a Floral Fruity fragrance that captures the essence of playful sweetness and vibrant freshness. The composition opens with a burst of mandarin orange and Amalfi lemon, creating an immediate sense of citrus brightness. This gives way to the fruity heart notes of papaya and red apple, which are balanced by the delicate floral notes of lily-of-the-valley and jasmine. A warm base of musk, amber, and orris root adds depth and a subtle sweetness that rounds out the scent.
Apply one or two sprays to pulse points — this fragrance is best when it stays close to the skin. The citrus top notes are bright but fleeting, so let them catch your attention while the warm base notes linger for hours.
