The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Jean-Marc Chaillan crafted DKNY Delicious Night in 2008 as a warm and inviting Oriental Floral fragrance for women. The composition opens with the bright freshness of pomelo and blackberry, creating an immediate sense of vibrancy. This is followed by freesia and orchid, which lend a delicate floral touch before giving way to a heart dominated by jasmine and iris. The base notes of incense, patchouli, myrrh, amber, and vetiver weave together a rich blend of warmth and depth, grounding the fragrance in smoky, balsamic undertones.

How to wear it

Apply this fragrance in small amounts — it builds beautifully on your skin. Allow it to settle for about half an hour before heading out; this will give the incense and patchouli time to meld with the fresher top notes. Best worn during cooler evenings when its warmth can be fully appreciated.
