Be Delicious Coconuts About Summer DKNY 2021

Like a meal from the drive-thru; one should not expect filet mignon when ordering hamburger. And so it is with DKNY Be Delicious Coconuts About Summer (*good lord the name alone ;). For me this has a hint of coconut but a very synthetic version. I'm not a perfume snob and have several favorite cheapies but this one just doesn't come close to what it's notes pyramid claims its trying to be. I've tried layering it with other tropicals I have and they simply cover this entirely so, really, what's the point? I equate this with hoping for In-N-Out and someone brings you an Impossible Burger. It's just not the same - not even close.

Hab ihn mir anhand der Duftnoten blind bestellt und was soll ich sagen.
Hab es mir schon gedacht das er mir gefallen wird aber war dann doch sehr überrascht wie begeistert ich von diesem Duft war. Ein toller frischer & Cremiger angenehmer Kokosnuss Duft. Werde ihn mir auf jeden Fall noch einmal holen wenn er mir mal leer geht.

Woooow, after years of abstinence from DKNY, the almost puristic surfer-style bottle and of course the famous three notes have tempted me to make a purchase. I perceive a green, really green coconut water note. You all surely know the water from the green coconut, which you can buy in a Tetra Pak or even better, directly from your trusted supermarket, a fresh coconut with a straw. This reminds me a bit of Teo Cabanels Sur La Plage, a little salty, creamy, and green. When I think after 5 minutes in the sun, that's it, I could have layered Virgin Island Water with a bit of coconut, the fragrance develops a powdery, woody coconut sillage that packs a punch. I personally can't complain about longevity and sillage. For me, there is no typical DKNY DNA here, especially beautiful is, as I said, the bottle with the wooden cap. Bungalow with direct access to the sea, flip-flops, sunkissed tan, sunbleached hair, coconut in hand, feet in the sand! Exactly my thing.
