   For a 2016 release, DKNY Be Tempted deserves more attention than it gets. After about twenty minutes the heart settles into Rose with Violet, which is where the fragrance really shines. As it settles, Vanilla and Indonesian Patchouli Leaf come through and give it real depth. After a few hours it becomes a soft skin scent with a lovely trail. Full-bottle worthy without a doubt.

   Picked up a sample of DKNY Be Tempted after reading the community buzz (2016). Give it a little time and Rose with Violet comes forward — smooth and well done. The base rests on Vanilla and Indonesian Patchouli Leaf — warm, grounded and easy to live with. After a few hours it becomes a soft skin scent with a lovely trail. I reach for it often and always enjoy the wear.

   I have owned DKNY Be Tempted for a while now and my opinion has only gotten stronger. The very first sniff is crisp Red Berries with Licorice peeking through, very much my kind of start. The first minutes are all about Red Berries with a hint of Licorice — it grabs attention without being pushy. Longevity is moderate and the trail is noticeable without being loud. This one gets my highest praise — beautiful from start to finish.

   I’ve been wearing DKNY Be Tempted on and off for a few weeks now (2016). Give it a little time and Rose with Violet comes forward — smooth and well done. The heart is the best part for me: Rose and Violet feel carefully balanced. It wears beautifully in the office; I can still catch it on my scarf at the end of the day. A solid addition for anyone who enjoys this style.

   I’ve been wearing DKNY Be Tempted on and off for a few weeks now (2016). The drydown leans on Vanilla plus Indonesian Patchouli Leaf and that is exactly where it feels most comfortable. That first spray gives a lovely Red Berries/Licorice impression that dries down smoothly. It is not the loudest scent I own, but the balance suits it well. A solid addition for anyone who enjoys this style.

   Donna Karan knows how to compose, and DKNY Be Tempted (2016) is proof. As it settles, Vanilla and Indonesian Patchouli Leaf come through and give it real depth. The first minutes are all about Red Berries with a hint of Licorice — it grabs attention without being pushy. It performs better in warmer weather — in the heat it opens up nicely. I can see this getting a lot of wear in my collection.

   For a 2016 release, DKNY Be Tempted deserves more attention than it gets. After about twenty minutes the heart settles into Rose with Violet, which is where the fragrance really shines. The opening is built around Red Berries and Licorice — bright and immediately recognizable. It wears beautifully in the office; I can still catch it on my scarf at the end of the day. I enjoy it when I wear it, yet I rarely think of reaching for it.

   A decant of DKNY Be Tempted sat in my box for weeks before I finally wore it. As it settles, Vanilla and Indonesian Patchouli Leaf come through and give it real depth. The very first sniff is crisp Red Berries with Licorice peeking through, very much my kind of start. Three sprays last me most of the day without ever becoming cloying. A very likeable composition that is easy to appreciate.
