DKNY Perfumes

Purchase DKNY Perfume Online

As most people know, New York is known as the Big Apple. So, when DKNY decided to sell perfume in an apple-shaped bottle, it only made sense.

Back in 2004, when DKNY first launched its Be Delicious fragrance, it was impossible to ignore. The bottle was bright green and round with a chrome silver cap. Not to mention that the brand used the smell of apples in its perfume.

A very creative idea that many people loved. The trouble now, if you want to purchase DKNY perfume online, is that there are many options to choose from. Some smell fresh, and others smell sweeter. There are some that are more floral or woody.

So, just because it’s an apple doesn’t mean it will smell the same.

DKNY Be Delicious Smells Like Green Apple

Have you ever bitten into a Granny Smith apple? They have that fresh apple taste that makes your mouth water.

Well, DKNY Be Delicious Eau de Parfum has a bit of that in it. But it doesn’t only have apple in it. It also has cucumber and grapefruit. Cucumber has a fresh, green smell to it, which gives the apple a fresher scent. Grapefruit adds a slight citrus smell as well. Then you get the florals. Magnolia, tuberose, lily of the valley, rose and violet.

To finish off the scent, you have sandalwood, blond woods, white amber and musk.

This is what gives the original Be Delicious that fresh green apple smell. It’s not going to smell like an apple pie with cinnamon and caramel in it.

If you like DKNY perfumes that have a fresh, green smell to them, then the original is the best place to start.

DKNY Be Delicious Fresh Blossom Has a Pink Apple Scent

Just because the bottle is pink doesn’t mean DKNY Be Delicious Fresh Blossom smells sweeter than the original. Looking at the ingredients, it actually smells quite different. You will find grapefruit, apricot and blackcurrant at the top of the scent.

Apricot has a sweeter, fruitier smell compared to green apple. You then get some rose, lily of the valley and jasmine. These play a bigger role in this fragrance. The apple is found at the bottom of the fragrance, along with some woods.

Whereas in the original, the apple is the first thing you smell. Imagine biting into a green apple and then smelling a bunch of roses with some fruit in the background.

That is kind of how these two fragrances compare. If you like floral perfumes but want something a little bit fruity, then Fresh Blossom may be a better choice for you.

DKNY Be Delicious Golden Apple

When you think of a golden apple, you think of something a bit sweeter, right? Well, that’s how DKNY Golden Delicious Eau de Parfum smells. There are notes of golden apple, mirabelle plum and orange blossom at the start. Mirabelle plum gives off a sweet, fruity scent.

You then get rose, lily, lily of the valley and orchid, followed by musk, sandalwood and teakwood.

The original Be Delicious has apple and florals with some woods in it. But it also has those fresh cucumber and grapefruit notes that give it that fresh apple scent. With Golden Delicious, you have more of a sweet fruit and floral scent, with woods in the base.

Something to keep in mind when purchasing this fragrance. If you love the fresh green apple smell of the original, you may not like this one. But if you like sweet fruit and florals, then this could be a good choice for you.

DKNY Be Delicious Orchard Street

As we know, New York has many things it’s known for besides being the Big Apple. Be Delicious Orchard Street is inspired by the Lower East Side of New York, which is full of small businesses and history.

There are some interesting ingredients in this fragrance. Pink Lady apple, grapefruit, blackcurrant and pink pepper.  Jasmine, orris, black raspberry and pomegranate. Then leather, cedarwood, amber woods and musk.

So, if you think it’s just going to be another fruity fragrance because of the bottle, think again. Orchard Street has some sweet fruits and florals with a bit of a woody scent in the base.

It just goes to show that you should read the ingredients when buying DKNY perfumes. Because each one smells different.

DKNY Original

Before DKNY was making apple-shaped bottles, it was also making other fragrances. Like DKNY Original for Women, which is described as having notes of mandarin, a chilled vodka accord, green coral orchids and a white T-shirt accord.

White T-shirt accord?

I’m not really sure what that means either. But I assume it’s meant to have a clean, fresh smell to it. Definitely not your typical sweet, fruity fragrance. Which I think fits with the New York theme. It doesn’t always have to be dark and smoky. Maybe it’s just that feeling of getting ready and heading out the door.

DKNY Perfume for Men

Although most DKNY fragrances are for women, the brand has also created fragrances for men. Such as DKNY Men Eau de Toilette, which was launched back in 2000. It has notes of mandarin and ginger with juniper, ivy, sandalwood and a maple accord.

Ginger gives it that fresh, spicy scent. Juniper adds a bit of an aromatic smell. And then you have sandalwood for a smooth, woody scent.

Unlike some of the newer men’s fragrances that are sweet and spicy. There are not too many DKNY fragrances for men to choose from anymore. The original DKNY Men is listed as a discontinued fragrance. So, if you are buying a replacement, make sure you know which version you are purchasing.

DKNY 24/7

DKNY hasn’t only focused on making apple-shaped perfume bottles. There is also DKNY 24/7, which is inspired by the hustle and bustle of New York City. Pink pepper and rhubarb. Rhubarb can add a fresh, fruity smell to a fragrance. These are followed by rose, tuberose and jasmine. Then cedarwood, sandalwood, musk and Ambrox Super.

If you want a different DKNY fragrance, this could be a great option for you.

Which DKNY Perfume Is Right for You?

If you like fresh green apples and cucumber, then try the original Be Delicious. Fresh Blossom is a bit more floral, with rose and jasmine. Golden Delicious is sweeter, with notes of plum and white florals. Orchard Street is pink apple, berries and leather.

DKNY Original has more of a fresh citrus scent. And if you’re looking for a DKNY perfume for men, there are a few options as well.

So, next time you see a green apple, don’t assume that’s the only option for you. Maybe you’ll love the pink or golden one more.
