The story behind the bottle.
DKNY Golden Delicious Skin Hydrating Eau de Toilette launched in 2013 as a vibrant and multifaceted floral woody musk fragrance for women. The composition opens with the fresh, crisp notes of red apple and plum, which blend seamlessly into the heart of orange blossom, yellow water lily, orchid, rose, and lily. This creates an effervescent, fruity floral bouquet that is light yet captivating. The base notes of sandalwood, teak wood, and musk bring a warm, powdery finish that grounds the fragrance without overpowering its lighter elements.
Apply two sprays for a balanced presence throughout the day. The fruity top notes are bright but short-lived, so the warm woody base will carry it well into the evening. This fragrance is best suited for daytime or early evening wear.
