HeartThe Soul
The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2010 as part of the DKNY Delicious line, this fragrance by Donna Karan is a playful blend of sweet and fresh accords. The composition opens with red apple and pear, creating an immediate sense of crispness that's both fruity and inviting. As it develops, rose mallow and green notes add depth, while lily and violet introduce subtle floral tones. Caramel and vanilla bring warmth and sweetness to the base, making this a gourmand scent that feels as indulgent as it smells. It's a perfect representation of Donna Karan's signature blend of elegance and approachability.
This fragrance blooms best when applied directly to pulse points. The fruity top notes are bright and immediate but fade within an hour; the caramel and vanilla base notes carry through for several hours. It reads better close to skin, so apply sparingly in warmer weather.
