DKNY Be Delicious Coconuts About Summer
by Donna Karan
DKNY Be Delicious Coconuts About Summer offers a refreshing, lightly sweet coconut scent with a green, aquatic freshness that evokes tropical beach days. The initial impression can be slightly sharp or alcohol-like, but it quickly softens into a clean, musky, and subtly floral coconut that feels natural and airy. It’s well-suited for intense summer heat, where its light sillage and moderate longevity work in favor of a skin-scent approach, not overpowering. The fragrance leans distinctly tropical and green rather than creamy or gourmand, making it a standout among common coconut fragrances. It’s ideal for warm weather, casual daytime wear, and those seeking something minimal and beach-inspired rather than heavily sweet or dense.
Pros
- +Offers a light, natural, beachy coconut experience that avoids being cloying or overly sweet
- +Has a distinctive green and aquatic character that differentiates it from common gourmand coconut scents
- +Displays moderate longevity and a sillage that works well in hot weather without being overpowering
Cons
- −Longevity is average, fading significantly within two hours
- −Sillage is modest and fades quickly, making it unsuitable for longer day events or formal settings
- −Some users find the musky base or green notes to be reminiscent of body odor or unpleasantly sharp
