DKNY Be Delicious Coconuts About Summer

After seeing @emilixxy’s review about this smelling almost exactly like Love, Beauty, and Planet’s Coconut Mimosa Hair care (which I use religiously and is my favorite scent from their line) ... I HAD TO BUY IT! I just got it today and OH MY LORDDD!! It smells almost exactly like it, but in a perfume bottle with more florals and a bit muskier. 😭 I’m so excited to use this on my hair wash days so I can smell like this from head to toe. I have never owned any other DKNY fragrances but after this flanker, I’ve been eyeing other ones that may be up my alley! This is fresh and relaxing, but the opening is my absolute FAVORITE with the beautiful sweet coconut coming out and the sparkling magnolia which then dries down into magnolia and musk, and the sweet coconut turns into the coconut flesh and skin! 🥥 Nowadays it’s so hard to find a nice creamy coconut that does not smell like sun tan lotion and this is JUST that. This is giving more like sweet cocoa butter on the dry down. If this sounds like your cup of tea, id purchase this! 💅🏼 This is so delicious and fresh and will definitely be looking to order a backup because this was limited addition. Perfect for summer, hair wash day, and everyday!! Its giving clean gyal aesthetic. 🫧

I’ve been itching to leave a review for this scent. Easily the best eau de toilette I’ve experienced in a very long time. I don’t usually blind buy but I saw this at my local TJ maxx for like $20. I love the classic “Be Delicious” and after looking up the notes on here, I knew I had to risk it. I’ve been wearing it every day since. It starts off with a minty, cucumber fresh note that I surprisingly don’t see listed in the notes. It’s not unpleasant but not what I expected or wanted so it almost left me disappointed, BUT it very quickly progresses and turns into a beautiful, light and creamy coconut scent that’s absolutely worth it. This is definitely a coconut heavy perfume, but not in an awfully warm or gourmand way. Think tropical seaside, not an overly sweet dessert. For an eau de toilette, the performance is quite impressive. I can smell it on me several hours in, sometimes even at the very end of the day. A great every-day, wear it on a whim kind of perfume. Oof it’s dangerous when a blind buy is successful... makes me want to risk it again.

This fragrance has undoubtedly become my absolute favorite at the moment. It lingers close to the skin without projecting much when applied sparingly. However on the few occasions when I've basically drenched myself in it, I received compliments from classmates across the room. The scent exudes a refreshing quality, as several others have also acknowledged—a vibrant, green coconut note takes precedence, steering clear of the heavier, creamy coconut aroma. It also seems to have floral notes, which I usually steer clear of as they - to me - give off an old lady smell. However, this fragrance boasts a delicate floral undertone that remains in the background, almost unnoticeable. This makes the fragrance feel very youthful. Alongside the freshness, there's also a peppery note that adds an edge. Undoubtedly, this fragrance has a cleanliness to it without a soapy smell. I can certainly agree that it's perfect for the summer season, as it's like a vacation or a luxurious spa in a bottle. For me personally though, it's a wonderful everyday fragrance.

This is such a pretty fragrance but not in a pink, bubble-gummy, dressy, lipstick way. More a free spirited, glowing, natural vibe. There are other notes omitted here like jasmine sambac and benzoin. A raw coconut that has a little of the top sliced off with coconut water and flesh inside. The coconut water is infused with torn jasmine and magnolia petals, generous sprinkles of sugar for sweetness (apple?) and drops of synthetic musks then given a couple of stirs to make this concoction that a beach goddess perfumes herself with. I also get thinly sliced, dewy pears that’s a little honeyed. I imagine this to be a the scent of a beach goddess from a tropical island who loves to sunbathe on the sand but instantly hides when she spots humans. The scent trail she leaves behind has them bamboozled because of how great the air smells. Warm, moderately sweet, watery but not milky and very illuminating.

I blind bought this, and with the lukewarm reviews, I didn't have high expectations. Sprayed it on my hand before going grocery shopping, and up close it had the same green apple DNA of Be Delicious with the tiniest touch of coconut. Walking to the store, however, I kept getting wafts of delicious coconut. No apple, just stunning, beautiful, airy coconut. This is not a creamy coconut - it's light and fresh and enhanced beautifully by the subtle floral notes - and eventually the musk. I'm apprehensive about musk, but here it's just so, so pleasant. This is the perfect summer scent - so happy that I got it. Sillage is pretty amazing for an eau de toilette in the beginning, but it's not long lasting. It'll give you 2-3 hours of bliss, and then you probably need to reapply.
