DKNY Red Delicious
by Donna Karan
DKNY Red Delicious is a bright, fruity fragrance that opens with a burst of litchi and raspberry, creating a juicy, sparkling top note. It evolves into a warm, slightly sweet apple scent with subtle rose and patchouli, grounded by amber and a gentle leather note. The scent is consistently described as clean, fresh, and playful, with some noting an elegant balance between fruitiness and earthiness. It's ideal for day and casual wear, particularly in spring and summer, though some find it too sweet or cloying, especially in hot weather. The longevity is moderate, with many reports of it fading within 3–4 hours, though some note greater staying power. The sillage is moderate, and many appreciate its wearable, non-intrusive qualities.
