Donna Karan (DKNY) is launching her spring line of perfumes to attach to her famous “Be Delicious” fragrances. The DKNY Be Delicious line has launched around 10 fragrances thus far. For spring, the collection is comprised of 3 fragrances: Pink Macaroon, Tart Key Lime, and Creamy Meringue.Inspired by cupcakes, this is bound to be a deliciously sweet collection! I think this collection is an awesome idea! These perfumes are cute little pastels and even come with a recipe for their inspired cupcake! How adorable!
Pink Macaroon is inspired by those beautifully expensive french almond confections. It includes top notes of nectarine and kumquat, middle notes of pomegranate and rose marzipan (rose + almond paste), and base notes of amber and tonka. I think it is an interesting concept for perfume and I am a fan of macarons as well. The only thing that peeves me is that I prefer to call them macaron’s because macaroons are coconut. Oh well.
Tart Key Lime is inspired by the cool and refreshing qualities of key lime pie. It’s top notes consist of tart key lime pie, bergamot, mandarin, and orange. The middle notes include basil, ginger, and neroli. Lastly, the base note is violet leaf. I think having basil in it is bound to be very interesting. I used to have a hand soap from Bath and Body Works that featured both lime and basil, so I am sure it will be a great fresh scent.
The last scent, Creamy Meringue is surely inspired by a lemon meringue pie. The top notes blend lemon cream, bergamot, and crepe Suzette. If you don’t know, crepe Suzette is a sweet and citrusy crepe that is flambeed with liqueur. The middle notes have freesia, frangipani, and passion flower. The base notes have cedar, white amber and musk. This one looks interesting but I don’t think I’d like it.
You can find DKNY Fragrances at Macy’s, Sephora, etc. and will likely cost $42-$75 depending on the sizing. I’m excited to find these in stores so I can smell them and possibly get a sample. I am not on the market for a new perfume, but samples are my most favorite thing ever!
Would you try out any of these fragrances? Let me know what you think in the comments!
