DKNY Be Tempted by Donna Karan

I love it! Definitely one of my favorites for everyday wear. I’ve tried three others from the same line, and this is the sweetest one with the best projection. It works great if you layer it with a sweet or fruity body mist.

Years ago I used the original, the one seen on the website: it was a sweet, caramelized apple scent—feminine, long-lasting, and delicious. In 2021 they reformulated it and ruined it. Now it smells like sugary apple juice, unremarkable, a total disappointment. I wish FraganciaX had flagged the change; even the bottle was affected: the cap no longer has the snake, and the atomizer unscrews instead of pumping 🥲🥲

If you like sweet and long-lasting perfumes, try this. To me, it’s the total opposite of Be Delicious (the green bottle): here it’s apple, but caramelized. I feel it’s better for night or cold climates. Every time I wear it, someone compliments the scent, though tastes are subjective. I recommend not buying blindly: girls who prefer citrus or fresh scents might not like it. Unless you’re like me, who owns perfumes of all styles for every occasion.

It’s the second DKNY fragrance in my collection. Reviews said it was sexy and tempting, and it is: it’s striking, sweet, and seductive as it dries down. I get a powdery aroma, like expensive makeup, nothing unpleasant. Luckily, the patchouli note I hate is barely noticeable. It’s sweet apples, vanilla, and red fruits; the myrrh gives it body and makes it striking. I see it more for fresh weather and definitely for night.

It’s just as the page says: fruity, sweet, intense, with trail and longevity, perhaps a bit strong. I feel it has a hint of champagne, like 212 VIP Rosé; I’m not saying they’re similar, but it smells like something of that style. I like it a lot but don’t love it; there’s something about its notes that doesn’t quite convince me to give it a 10. In my opinion, it’s a very good perfume. I feel it’s for night due to its intensity, but sometimes I wear it during the day and feel it suits daytime more; I don’t know how to explain it. It seems like one of those perfumes you have to try before buying because it can be overwhelming for some people.

It’s a delight, with great sillage and longevity. The sweet scent is very well-balanced, and I think it’s ideal for night wear.

This fragrance is DELICIOUS. The sweetness is balanced with acidity, making it interesting and captivating. Definitely for night wear or special occasions; it’s a scent anyone could enjoy.

It reminds me a lot of designer perfume styles, with good sillage and a fair price. It smells like myrrh with a sugared apple, and at first, a very sweet, pleasant lemon.

I’ve tried Donna Karan’s Green Apple, Pink Apple, and Fresh Blossom. This one is by far the sweetest. It’s warm, sweet, and lasts a long time, good for autumn and winter. It’s quite noticeable and attracts attention. My favorite remains the Green Apple; I wouldn’t trade it for anything.

It smells rich like a caramelized hot apple. Very delicious, with just enough sweetness so it doesn’t bother you.

Enchanting, it drives the opposite sex crazy, probably because of the patchouli. It’s charming, reminiscent of Petite Robe Noire, with licorice adding a nocturnal, dense, and slightly tipsy touch without losing the juicy fruity sweetness of the opening. Performance and longevity are magnificent.

I use it to go out or seduce, and it never fails. It always stands out; it has heavy sillage and reach, but the scent is fresh, saving it from being an unbearable sweet. Men praised it so much that one even jumped on top of me to smell it. Once I switched to a floral and it took him a while to get used to it. I already got bored with it, I feel so bad I burned the bottle. Time for a new chapter. I enjoyed it so much.

Sweet, sensual, and nocturnal. Good longevity. A very seductive boozy apple. I receive many compliments from men. Ideal for fall and winter, it becomes very warm. A lovely gourmand that stays in my collection.

It reminds me a lot of Cartier Delices, another red apple from 2008. It was my first scent and I recognized it immediately, a good option to replace this one which I think is discontinued. However, it seems too sweet, like sugary sodas for kids. I don’t crave sweetness as much anymore, but it’s delicious for those who do, not suitable for diabetics.

Smells like berries, warm, and very sensual. Its bottle perfectly expresses the essence. I was quite surprised; I didn’t expect much from another Donna Karan apple, but I liked it. Perfect for fall and winter, day or night. It’s quite sweet, and the myrrh gives it a sexy touch. The red berries aren’t acidic but sweetened by the cassis, licorice, and vanilla. On my skin, it had good sillage for the first two hours, then it faded until disappearing after about 6 hours.
