DKNY Be Tempted

At the moment I'm often sniffing and testing fruity scents in stores. While I love to wear my warm winter perfumes, I miss summer, and smelling fruity fragrances can help me to escape the winter gloom for a moment. Be Tempted is one of those fruity fragrances. It smells like an intense cocktail of berries, mainly raspberry, red apple and a splash of citrus. So summery and uplifting. The floral notes are very restrained, but I think I get a tiny hint of rose. Overall, this smells very red to me, so the bottle color fits the scent perfectly. The scent is anchored with sweet vanilla and the patchouli and licorice notes give it a darker, heavier background note. I think this is balanced nicely, with exactly the right amount of these notes: Be Tempted has a stronger and denser base than a typical light summer fragrance (and most scents from the DKNY apple line), but does not enter fruitchouli or vanilla gourmand territory. It just stays intensely fruity for a long time. I'm usually not a huge fan of the DKNY apples, I find many of them a bit boring and redundant, but this is a good one.

This is my second review about this lovely perfume My first one was back in 2017 when I first discovered this Ruby red piece of jewel & immediately fell in love (scroll down & give it a read) Now It's 2022 & that's still my signature perfume I hope DKNY never discontinues it The beautiful red apple like bottle with a snake wrapped around 🐍is still one of the most iconic designs I have ever seen untill now Equal blanced notes of red apples 🍎& red berries giving it that sweet cheerful scent ,then comes the liquorice Lets take a moment here I have never seen liquorice notes beautifuly blended with other notes before Normally they just scream on their own While liqourice does have a hint of bitterness to it , it balances the sweetness of the apples & berries giving it that iconic unique smell,also it makes the perfume stay fresh even at the dry down Its perfect for all seasons of the year I still get compliments & asked what perfume r u wearing 🍎❤️❤️

Nothing like Lolita Lempicka thank goodness, as I couldn't stand that- way too green for my taste. But this... wow! It's not a love, but it is a massive like. It's all red berries and patchouli on me, with a hint of apple and liquorice in the background. It's sharp but soft at the same time, which confuses me slightly... how can it be both? I can barely smell the rose or violet, which for me is great as i'm not really that much of a violet fan. If you've been put off in the past by all the apple smelling flankers, this one will surprise you, it's all berry, berry, berry! Not sure I like it enough to buy a fb as I have a few scents that smell fairly similar. It's not groundbreaking, but very pleasant, nothing to really dislike about it.

Although I don't like licorice, as a flavour, it appears I love it as a scent note. This beautiful bottle, holds a mysterious, seductive scent; the mix of berries, apple and licorice is intoxicating. I picture in my mind, a fortune teller's tent, and this scent enveloping all that enter. This would be perfect if these initial notes stayed longer, but eventually it dries down to a rose and vanilla scent - nothing wrong with that, but I crave that exotic, heady opening lasting throughout. I have nothing, other than Good Fortune, that is similar to this, and thank my lucky stars I managed to get a second FB.

This is my favorite perfume for autumn and winter days where I feel extra spicy. I use this when I want to make an impression, and I always get so many compliments. I got this on christmas a few years ago from my mother in law and although i was quite skeptical in the beginning because of the harsh pepper smell I ofc tried it and fell hard in love with it ́s sexy spicy green apple and berry scent. The myrrh really gives it a good mystique that makes it so interesting and charismatic. I hope this never disappears or gets reformulated, it ́s a clear 11/10 for any badass and confident girl out there.
