DKNY Be Tempted by Donna Karan for Women 3.4 oz EDP Spray

“DKNY Be Tempted” by Donna Karan Eau de Parfum is a modern amber-fruity gourmand built around juicy red fruits and a licorice twist over a sensual vanilla-myrrh base. Launched in 2016, it’s a flirty, evening-ready spin on DKNY’s iconic “apple.”

The scent opens with a vibrant mix of red berries, crisp apple, lemon, cassis and licorice, blooms into rose, violet and orange blossom, then melts into warm vanilla, Indonesian patchouli and myrrh. Sweet yet polished, it suits nights out, dates, and cool weather.

Bottle Description: The glossy red, apple-shaped bottle features a red metallic cap with a coiled snake detail—DKNY’s playful “temptation” motif.

At Perfumes LA, we recommend it for bold, confident wearers who enjoy fruity-gourmand signatures with a smooth, vanillic dry-down.
