DKNY Delicious Night (2007)
by Donna Karan

Whenever I see the colour purple I immediately think berries and this is exactly what Delicious Night is, rich, dark berries.

Hands down my favourite fragrance from the Delicious series. There is something so very sexy and mysterious about it which none of the other scents have.

Blackberry, pomelo, ginger, orchid, incense, patchouli and jasmine, all the notes that make up a fabulous night-time fragrance. This is dark if not a little bit naughty and outrageous.

Even if the name and the advertisement didn't suggest that this was intended to be worn at night I would have chosen to wear it so. Delicious Night makes me think of dim nightclubs, flashing lights, cocktails, stilettos and dancing till you can't dance no more.

This is very powerful stuff, so beware when applying. Overall, Delicious Night is a delightful scent which is sure to seduce both you and the opposite sex.

Fruity-floral cocktail drowned in a smooth resinous base of incensed patchouli. Velvety and purple it conjures images of subterraneous clubs full of dark-violet shelters, secrete passages, purple screens, games of mirrors and obscure rooms of pleasure. Mystery and sin whirl in the smoky air. The few lights cutting the bleu darkness are violet and red. The first part of the juice is metallic and super modern because of frozen pomelo and ginger martini. The outcome of the experiment is chic and glamour although a bit too gummy and synthetic. This is the more womanly part of an unisex fragranchamas ing. on the manly side in my opinion. In this phase the scent is angular and fizzy-fruity as a tropical cocktail. The heart is a bunch of dark sophisticated  flowers, carnal plants and black fruits. Enormously bold is the final product because of its bully patchouli and scratching vetiver overshadowed by succulent berries that fall in tunnel of smoky amber, myrrh and dusty incense. A dark choice for the underground world of discos and club prive'.

So appropriately named. Most definitely a Delicious Night ... for about 30 minutes.

Sweet and warming + bold and strong, just like a blackberry brandy on a cold winter night. Then that delicious-ness dries into the night ... mostly vanilla, patch and amber on me. Yes, like Midnight Poison once dry.

Unfortunately, the jasmine opens & dominates on me straight-away, being a cloying little beast that is headache inducing. Also, where did it go? Where did it go? It's so unbalanced with the jasmine blast. It starts strong and doesn't last long.

I would like to thank my lovely friend for sending me a sample of this fragrance. I've been tempted numerous times on a blind buy, which I would have surely regretted.

Delicious Night is a fruit of sin that
grows on the vine of temptation a dark
and indolic beauty a femme fatale a bad girl definitely not a scent for the average girl next door virgin, no This spells S.E.X across the front of the
fruit shape like flacon the opening is
fruity of frozen pomelo tangy and fun then
succulent black current starts steeping
through your senses like an inner Terra
of earth brings an primal spirit in this scent.

The Innocence of freesia falls discreetly and dries the top note with
a bit of sweetness Jasmine with it's
elusive delicateness opens the middle
note gives it a green-tea like aroma
that is meditative the leafy and intoxicating note of dark orchard sprays
an scent of inhibited animalistic properties.

then delicious night turns woody with
dry ginger turns warm with amber Dark
incense and ancient myrrh adds to the
esoteric mystery of the scent which
makes it unique.

I am totally enjoying Delicious Night. The opening notes are floral and sweet on my skin. The middle notes I'm not too fond of because they tend to be a bit sharp with my body chemistry. However once the sharpness has subsided a sweetness emerges that I just love. I'd give it a 6 out of 10.

Exactly my kind of perfume. A delicious, juicy floriental. Opens with a burst of pomelo and blackberry and settles into the musky sexiness of patchouli, myrrh and amber, enhanced by floral hints of freesia, orchid, jasmine and iris. I love that it has the strength of an oriental whilst holding onto a core of deep, dark fruits and florals.
