DKNY Sweet Delicious Tart Key Lime

When I first smelt this fragrance I was disappointed, because I really expected something that smelt like key lime pie. This didn't even come close, it's not even close enough to call it the Yoplait yogurt version. However, given a re-evaluation from another perspective I do like it as a lime fragrance. The lime is soft, feminine, and creamy almost like it had a touch of vanilla in it somewhere. The fragrance also has a bubbly effervescence that reminds me of a soda pop. The overall affect to me is somewhat sweet creamy lime soda. It lasted 4 hours on me, this one will need frequent touch ups but it smells SO yummy. Someone on here mentioned to me how hard it is to find soft, feminine, lime fragrances and I agree! This one is an exception, many lime fragrances come off as masculine or harsh. I'm so glad they put basil in here, it's SUCH a nice touch. Infact this reminds me just a teeny weeny bit of Jo Malone lime basil mandarin. Although this one is much sweeter, softer, and the basil is more subtle. Also way more lime than mandarin, but *pssst* I also like this one more ;)

I sampled this and i'm going to have to get it a FB as my new Spring scent. Gorgeous!! The lime is nice and tart just how i like it , and the other notes are blended well. On the whole i find "Citrus Gourmands" can be quite cloying or sickly. This perfume is neither too sweet or tart IMO and it smells refreshingly sweet and zingy. I can see this good choice for gourmand perfume lovers to wear on a hot day. Most of my sweet perfumes are "too much" for hot weather , so i need something sweet but fresh for summer day wear . Ive found it ! A very nice surprise, as Ive not been too impressed with DKNY perfumes in the past. It also lasted quite well on skin for a citrus based perfume. Nice cute handbag friendly bottle too. PS - Boots in UK are doing a free gift with this perfume too , a bag i think ( id rather have more perfume or matching body products than a crappy thin canvas "Designer" bag to be honest!) But a freebie is a freebie :)

This is perfect for summer! It starts off with a blast of tart, fresh lime, and even though that dissipates after about half an hour, you're left with a soft, fresh, neroli with a hint of lime scent. As for the list of notes, the only ones I could really pick out were lime (obviously, lol) and neroli. I didn't get any basil, ginger, or generic "sweet notes." That's perfectly fine with me, as fresh lime and neroli were really all I wanted out of this, but just a heads-up for someone who might be looking for something a little more complex.

I live in the USA, and I just received this perfume from the UK. In my opinion it does smell almost exactly like the name of this perfume. I do smell the sweet notes as well. It does combine together well. The problem is that the lime, and orange over power the rest of the notes. This isn't something I would wear, it's just not me. I like this fragrence, I don't love it.

I just bought this today from Kohl's. I already have the other two in this collection, and now I finally have this one. All three smell equally sweet, but this one has more of a fresh fruitier scent to it. I like it.

This is probably one of the few fresh scents that I actually enjoy. I hate anything too green or citrusy. This one is fresh, pleasant and just makes me so happy & excited to live life.

My favourite from the DKNY Sweet Delicious.Very fresh,sweet.

Upon first applying you get a burst of lime-y citrus. As it settles, florals start to come through, and the neroli and sweet notes combine to balance out the zippy citrus. I would describe it as crisp, citrusy with a hint of floral sweetness that becomes a bit more green as it settles (sort of like a juicy but semi-tart green apple). I don't really get much ginger and basil on their own, but they may contribute to the body of the fragrance that cuts through the citrus. Staying power isn't amazing but isn't abysmal. About what I'd expect in all honesty. Sillage is soft and longevity is moderate. For a perfume that was gifted to me, I don't mind it. It's definitely not a favorite of mine but I like it. I wouldn't repurchase though- it comes off as inexpensive and somewhat basic. This is not a sophisticated fragrance. 6/10 wouldn't recommend but also wouldn't go out of my way to tell people to stay away

I just got it today as an early Valentine's day gift from my love. He bought it at the Dubai airport. The bottle is quite pretty, I like its shape, however the top part is plastic and it looks a little cheap to me. It fits nicely in my hand. The fragrance is beautiful and really yummy, however its lasting power and projection are very poor... I couldn't smell anything after 1 hour. Perhaps it is due to the cold and very dry climate in Sweden? Maybe. Or maybe it is just a poor quality? For now, I feel I like it. If it lasted longer I think I would love it. I will test it more and let you guys now later.

This is a great lime scent. Lime usually comes off as such a sharp, masculine scent it doesn't blend well into most compositions. Here it is really beautiful and feminine, toned down by the other notes to be almost sweet -- lime in real life is not only sour but intensely bitter, and often it's just too much in most perfumes, too harsh. This is sour but not bitter, so it's really a perfect lime scent. Not so much gourmand but a great lime scent in general for spring and summer.

It is so unique! Perfect lime opening, at first the whole fruit then the juice, lots of it. Underneath, bergamot, orange, ginger and sweet notes. Basil, neroli, violet leaf. Apart from the lime the other notes are not obvious. It feels perfect for summer but this rainy, cold spring evening it is beyond lovely. As it dries down it becomes more aquatic without being one. The floral notes are more prominent but it stays a lime dominated fragrance. Very pretty.

My fav of the 3! Smells like Coconut Lime Verbena to me but much better because a bit more candied. I don't know if I'd actually would by it though because it doesn't last very long for how expensive it is. I wish there was a body spray of this!

If I lived in a hot climate I would definitely buy this as I think it would be gorgeously refreshing in serious heat. However, as I live in the UK I doubt I'd get very much use out of it...

A fresh one. No sweetness there. It's not as good as the other Limited edition Creamy meringue. Smells like lemon juice. Not impressive, but wearable. Very cute green bottle!

The lime note is what sold me here! It’s tart and refreshing, and unique. I love that about it!

This sounds so delicious I can't wait to try this out

Just awful for me, i smelled pure lime (at least that happened on my skin) It was really bad, and the like smell was very strong, that was all I could smell, it was a very simple fragance, they should have make it more sweet, maybe more like orange. In my opinion its good for a little girl who really loves lime lol and for a very hot day. I felt like I could get the same result from wearing lime juice lol

The lime note stands out the most and I hate it. It is overwhelming to the point where it just doesn't smell right. I do like (and own) the original and the macadamia version. Those are wayyy better than this lime disaster

Wow! This is the dark knight of the group! I thought this would be my least favorite and it's actually my favorite! It most closely resembles the original Be Delicious and perhaps moreso Red Delicious because it's got that zesty lime which adds a little sharp kick. This is an aboslutely gorgeous scent for summer! I have never heard of a lime cupcake and this doesn't really resemble one to me as it's not sickly sweet. It's more like a refreshing 7-up on a hot summer day. Take a sip and feel relaxed and quenched. Spritz this on and feel invigorated and rejuvinated. This is definitely an energizing perfume! What a huge difference between a lemon merigue tart and key lime tart...the lime tart wins!

I thought I would LOVE this one after reading the notes and given i'm a fan of citrus perfumes and really liked both the original be delicious and red delicious is one of my all time faves... but...I just smelled it at an airport duty free a couple of days ago and my my this is indeed VERY citrusy and tart key lime doesn't even begin to describe it, when I smelled it my first reaction was to jerk my face away from the testing paper. Yikes.
