DKNY Delicious Candy Apples Ripe Raspberry Donna Karan for women

makes me remember summers of running through sprinklers and catching lightening bugs! definitely smell the cola, then it dried down to this gorgeous lime and raspberry finish, with a hint of magnolia, not overdone floral. it truly is delicious.

i must have gotten a bad bottle.the reviews here all say coca cola and sweet as notes but all i got was a cheap peony and magnolia scent.i am horribly disappointed as i was truly looking forward to a sweet retro scent.i am a big fan of be delicious so this is a surprise to me.
after a few hours of airing out it is not so bad.it turns into a light sweet floral scent.i still dislike it but not as much.

Coca cola raspberry candies!!
Just for fun, and just for me. Most of my scents are not this sweet, but I love it! Very warm, sweet and comforting, and makes me feel like a kid.

Reminds me of the smell at Dison's family corner store in the 70's, with the wooden floors, and it smelled so sweet, like candies and slurpees and summer!

I also like to layer this over Youth Dew bath oil; makes it perrrrfect!

I always wear Dr. Pepper & Cherry Coke lip smackers at home around the house (have done this for 32 years now), and this is the perfect accompaniment.

Makes me happy.

HOW did I miss this last year!? Coca cola accord are you kidding me?? YUM.

Thanx Cakes & Cuddles... since i love your taste (so akin to mine) I'll be on the sniff out!

This is one of my favorite perfumes. Bright fizzy lime, yummy sugared raspberries, delicious bubbling coca-cola. This fragrance captures it perfectly! I am actually thinking about trying to make a raspberry lime cola to see how it would taste, it smells wonderful! The flowers are pretty understated in this, they appear a little bit near the end when the cola is really sweet and the fruit has mostly fizzed off. The finish smells like gummy cola candy and a little bit of flowers, that part is wonderful as well.

very interesting can really smell the cola in it my 13 year old daughter loves this. Sadly doesnt last very long on the skin

This is a unique, super fun, and interesting scent! Top notes smells like a very sharp brilliant raspberry-lime coca-cola. It's like a slap in the face...in a good way. Really wakes me up in the morning, I think it's invigorating. The scent starts to mellow out as the top notes fade out. The remainder of the scent smells like candies, sweet flowers, and coca-cola. It's sooo delicious. It makes me think of Vanilla Coke which is my favorite soda to drink. Nom nom nom! So fizzy and tasty :D

First, you put a drop of Estee Lauder's Youth Dew BATH OIL, and then you spray this sweet one over top! Makes it less sweet, much deeper and more complex. Both have that cola smell, and I LOVE the added incense!

I saw the notes for this and having smelled this in real life all I can say is BoulSh*t. Coca-cola? caramel? where? It smells like apples but this time, like the bottle design suggests RED delicious apples as oppose to the granny smith apples of the original scent. One note. that's it. cheap, gross and for no one.

I am intrigued to try this because of the coca cola base note! x

I bought all 3 of the Candy Apples collection, and I wore each one, one day after the next. This is the one I wore last, and it is by far my favorite out of the three. I was actually slightly disappointed by the other 2, being that they smelled a little synthetic to me. But this one, WOW, the second I sprayed it on I thought, "Ooohh this is nice!". Im a true lover of sweet scents, but this one is much different than I expected! It is sweet and fresh in the beginning, and then ends with a warm cherry-cola smell that is to die for. Anyone that is looking for a sweet smell that diverts from the normal "sweet fruit" smell, you definitely need to give this a try!!!

I got this one today and i knew i would adore it but it let me down, it is to sweet for my taste and i didnt like the cola in it, ill have to pass this one on...

I really love this cute red apple, it's so fresh and feminine at the same time. I also have the other apples (Be Delicious, Red delicious and Be delicious fresh blossom) in my collection, but this one is very special.

I love the Coca-Cola basenote in combination with sweet peony. If you're looking for fun and you like the other apples, try this one, but I'm telling you, it's really sweet.

The most evident notes on my skin are green apple, peony and coca-cola. I love sweet scents, but this one seems too synthetic and becomes quickly annoying. It has a good lasting power but I can´t stand it too long.

like gigeletta said... like summer love: sweet, childish, girly and forgetable.

were can u get this from they had them in boots but they dont sell them any more which is a big let down so were can i get this from? plz help me!:-(

coke! that was the cinnamon that I felt so strong.

I've always preferred Red Delicious over Be Delicious, so it was natural for me to be intrigued enough to try DKNY Ripe Raspberry.

Straight away I likened this fragrance to cherry cola. It has a wonderful fizzy, sugary and tasty quality. This is by far my favourite out of the Candy Apples range.

It's the fizziness that makes me like this fragrance. The same kind of intriguing fizziness as I found in YSL's Yvresse. I think that creating a perfume that tends to smell very much like soda is not as off-putting as it sounds. It's unique and likable in lots of different ways.

Once again, this fragrance is aimed at a younger crowd, however I would enjoy wearing this every now and then, especially when I want to get in touch with my somewhat childish side.

While not a particularly complex scent, the blend of cola, raspberry, litchi and sugar is pleasant and satisfying. This fragrance has a definite sense of playfulness. While not a real gourmand, it has some edible qualities.

DKNY Ripe Raspberry, is surprisingly not as synthetic as I expected it to be. It's lasting power is good, but not great and the sillage is fairly average. But all in all, it's a nice, youthful scent. An entertaining take on the original Red Delicious.

this one is more funny the others,girly a bit childish,sugary,icecreamy,forgetable,like summer love.

Fantastic. The raspberry and lime notes really stand out on my skin, which is wonderful because those are my favourite fruits. It's not spicy or woody or musky at all, which I love. It's delicious.

i love this so sweet girly mmm

ok am i the only one who is slightly disturbed by the idea of coke in my perfume? not that ive smelled it but please......!!
i think dkny has wondered off the plot a little here who ever voted this as a classic... well ill have to smell and judge but doubt that a fragrance with coke can be called classic just IMO

I ve bought this one this weekend in a promotion...oh i love it,its so gooooood!
Is a pity that they have not done in larger bottles...:(

This actually smells like the red apples you get from the fairground. Sweet and fruity. Yummy!

This one is a cute, fizzy scent. The cola note tones the sweetness down. Apple and peony were most prominent and I couldnt really smell the raspberry that well (and I wanted too!). It is also very light, I found Caramel Apple to be much stronger. Overall, I think it is quite nice floral fruity and its cola accent makes it original. The longevity is not that great and the scent is a bit shallow, but it would make a nice summer scent.

I tried it this early morning, on a store, and I can still feel it on my wrist, very nice. I must say I love floral fruity perfumes, I'm looking for the best one for me.
In winter I use JLO Glow after dark.

Similar to the original, but sweeter and without the leather note that was so noticable in the first one. It could have been more candy-like, but if you don't have the original DKNY Red I suggest buying this one, it's great for everyday wear, fresh and it will cheer you up. Nothing fancy, but nice. Out of the three Candy Apples, my friend liked this one the best.

I was sooo looking forward to this one. The description sounds so delicious...what a dissapointment :((
On me it smells exactely like the original Be Delicious with lots of peony.

Of the 3 in the Delicious Candy Apple series, this one is by far my favorite. I like the other 2 as well, but because this has that coke note in it, that's what wins me over, as I had been looking & looking for a scent that had coke in it. I clearly smell it in here, from the first moment when I spray it. And add some raspberry, apple, and other sweet notes, I'm won over. I don't get much lime from here, and that's a good thing seeing as I'm not a big fan of lemon/lime.

This is such a carefree, fun-loving, casual fragrance, I can't help not to like it. Happiness in a bottle is what I call it. I rate it a 9/10.

I was SOO looking forward to this one, I am a coca cola ADDICT...just like markRep the cola was the top note for me...it smelled exactly as if I had just popped open a can. I was pretty excited...and then I got a tiny bit of apple and raspberry...NO magnolia whatsoever (a shame) NO lime for me either..and past the first 30 seconds I got what I can only describe as SHRIEKING peony like a big smack in the face.....SOOO let down by this one.

This smells great!! It reminds me of sour candies or something like. It´s sweet, but very fresh at the same time. Perfect for spring!
The lasting power is very good, but I don´t like limited editions (I don´t want to use any fragrance wich will be very hard to find in the future).

Well, DKNY Ripe Raspberry is an attractive fragrance, but I was hoping for more. The opening is lime, raspberry, and apple. 20 minutes into wearing I can pick up the peony, and it's a little too much peony in my opinion.

I have to agree with markRep, the cola should have been stronger and the lime perhaps not so pronounced. The raspberry and apple are there in the right amount, and I think a little more musk and some vanilla should have been added. I'll finish my bottle but won't repurchase. I can say that it is somewhat unique smelling and I hope more fragrances use cola in the future. I rate it 6 out of 10.

Well the top notes is where the cola came out for me. I was hoping for more of a sharp caffeine smell with the caramelized sugar syrup coming through, but instead got a candy cola bottle gummy smell. The apple let in a fresh mixture of lime raspberry & peony. The raspberry was not too sweet but not terribly authentic either. everything was very toned down. Found I was wishing for more lime or cola. Over all I must admit it is a nice light unoffensive scent. Between smelling this and the D.juicy berry on a card this is by far the one I wanted to spray on the skin.

salt, find a website online that is for uk that sells it. ?

i want this perfume how can i purchase it on uk..pounds??

just got it....very light,not too floral, good everyday scent...just got over a cold...so maybe my nose is playing tricks on this fruity floral...its very clean. i got ed hardy daggers and that is much more stronger...so that makes this a summer scent in the dead of winter! ITS WEARABLE.
