The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2010, DKNY Delicious Candy Apples Ripe Raspberry by Donna Karan is a Floral Fruity fragrance for women crafted by perfumer Calice Becker. This composition opens with the vibrant burst of raspberry and Granny Smith apple, complemented by a touch of lime, before transitioning into a heart of peony and magnolia that adds a soft floral dimension. The base features sweet notes and an unexpected Coca-Cola accord that brings warmth and spiciness to the overall scent.
This fragrance is best applied in light sprays as it projects well and lasts throughout the day. The Coca-Cola accord adds warmth that can be overpowering if used too heavily. It’s perfect for daytime wear, where its fruity freshness shines.
