DKNY Be Tempted Icy Apple is a 2017 addition to Donna Karan's accessible designer fragrance lineup, continuing the brand's focus on wearable, modern scents for everyday consumers.

The fragrance opens with bright fruity notes, leading with crisp apple and cassis, with lemon and red berries providing additional tartness. A hint of licorice adds a slightly unusual spice to the top. The heart settles into a classic floral arrangement of orange blossom, rose, and violet, which softens the fruit's initial bite. The base brings warmth through myrrh and patchouli, grounded by vanilla that ties the gourmand elements together. The overall effect is a fruity-gourmand hybrid that leans sweet without becoming cloying.

This works well as a casual daily fragrance for anyone who enjoys fruit-forward scents with depth. The vanilla and patchouli base prevents it from reading as purely sugary, making it suitable beyond just dessert-focused occasions. If you gravitate toward The Homesteader, The Romantic, or The Sensualist profiles, this fragrance deserves consideration.

Fragrance Notesbrand verified
Top · 0–30 min
Apple
Apple
Fresh, crisp, and slightly cidery, apple reads as clean and natural rather than candy-sweet. Green apple is sharper and more aromatic; red apple is rounder and juicier. Both add an approachable freshness to florals and fresher orientals, and green apple in particular is a signature of certain classic masculines.
Cassis
Cassis
The French name for blackcurrant, cassis has a dark, distinctive fruitiness with a slightly catty, herbal edge that makes it unlike any other berry. It's more complex than blackcurrant juice: both sharp and rich, with an almost savory depth. A signature opening note of certain classic and contemporary fragrances.
Lemon
Lemon
Sharp, clean, and instantly familiar, the pure zest of fresh-cut lemon peel, not the sugary juice. In perfumery it reads as crisp and energising rather than sweet, and is often used to amplify other light notes. It fades quickly, so it's almost always a top note that makes a striking first impression.
Licorice
Licorice
Sweet, anise-like, and slightly medicinal, licorice adds a distinctive herbal sweetness that is completely its own. It's simultaneously comforting and slightly challenging, with a dark, slightly bitter edge beneath its sweetness. Found in orientals, gourmands, and some unexpected aromatic compositions where it adds an unusual twist.
Red Berries
Red Berries
A mixed accord of red fruits including raspberry, strawberry, and red currant, producing a bright, sweet, and slightly tart freshness. Red berries read as summery and cheerful, adding an accessible, crowd-pleasing sweetness to florals and orientals. One of the most broadly appealing fruity notes in mainstream perfumery.
Heart · 30 min – 3 hrs
Orange Blossom
Orange Blossom
Sweeter and more honeyed than neroli (both come from the same tree), orange blossom is a floral note with a warm, almost edible quality. It floats between citrus and floral families, adding richness without weight. A signature note of classic Mediterranean and Middle Eastern perfumery.
Rose
Rose
The queen of floral notes and the most-used ingredient in fine perfumery. Real rose is simultaneously velvety, honeyed, and slightly spicy, nothing like the synthetic candy version. Depending on the variety used, it can anchor a composition or drift through it like a ghost, adding warmth without dominating.
Violet
Violet
Sweet, powdery, and faintly green, violet sits between floral and earthy in a way that feels distinctly old-world glamorous. The leaf and the flower smell quite different: the flower is sugary and delicate, while violet leaf is fresh and slightly vegetal. Together they create a note that feels both nostalgic and current.
Base · 3–12 hrs
Myrrh
Myrrh
Deep, bittersweet, and slightly medicinal, myrrh is a resin with a complex, almost anise-like quality that sets it apart from frankincense. It adds a dark, almost sacred quality to oriental fragrances and is more challenging and assertive than its biblical companion. A note that rewards patience.
Patchouli
Patchouli
Dense, earthy, and darkly sweet, patchouli is the scent of damp soil and dried herbs with an almost chocolatey richness. It polarizes people because in high concentrations it's overwhelming, but as a supporting note it adds depth and longevity that almost nothing else can match. The backbone of countless oriental and chypre fragrances.
Vanilla
Vanilla
Warm, sweet, and universally appealing, vanilla is to fragrance what salt is to cooking. Real vanilla is complex and slightly smoky, though most perfumery vanilla is synthetic and reads as clean, sweet, and creamy. It slows the evaporation of other notes and is the reason certain fragrances feel like a second skin.
