DKNY Sweet Delicious Pink Macaroon Donna Karan for women

Perfume doesn't last me very long,but this lasted me 5 months because I couldn't decide if I liked it or not I still don't know and it's finished now. Smells like Turkish delight or rose water. Only 3 people told me it smelt nice it had a chemical after smell,it smelt nice on my clothes but no so much on my skin.

The name, Pink Macaroon, is enough to make any gourmand lover salivate. Although I have to agree that it bears some similarities to Nina Ricci's Le Paradis de Nina, (a fragrance already in my collection), I am pleased to see DKNY taking a chance with a gourmand.

Pink Macaroon is not nearly as fruity as other DKNY scents. It's actually quite sugary and soft. I'm not a macaroon expert, but I do love that feeling when I bite into a particularly sweet and tasty one. This fragrance has a similar light, colourful and fluffy feel.

The opening was bright and juicy, with ripe nectarine and a hint of pink rose. The marzipan amps up the gourmand quality in the heart, with the tonka bean and amber providing a rich, vanillary base. Every note seems to compliment one another beautifully. Pink Macaroon is a surprisingly well composed fragrance.

I appreciate almost all gourmands on the lighter side of things. Pink Macaroon's sillage is incredibly light and airy, which I consider a beautiful thing. It doesn't get much more girly than this.

I am yet to test Tart Key Lime, but I did enjoy Creamy Meringue just as much as I did Pink Macaroon. It's a shame that these fragrances are a limited edition set. I find their bottles to be very appealing as well.

As I mentioned above, the projection was very light on the skin, however I found the longevity quite impressive, lasting well over six hours. I am really pleased with DKNY's Pink Macaroon. I would recommend it to any gourmand fan, especially those that like them pink, flirtatious and delicious.

I live in the USA, and I just received this perfume from the UK. At first on my skin I smell the spice. Good spice. Then I smell the rose. Then the sandalwood. Then Pomagrante. And finally the amber. I don't have nothing like this perfume in my collection. This perfume stands out in my collection. I usually don't like this kind of spice in a fragrence, but I like it very much in this one, it combines great with the other notes. I've around 150 fragrences in my collection. Now I can smell the Kumquat, and Tonka Bean, and Marzipan as it has settled on my skin. I can't smell the Nectarine that much, but it's there. This is a great winter, and early Spring fragrence.

I can’t decide how much I like this scent. I never smelled or eaten macaroons, but if it exists it’s maybe a lemon Macaroon. I smell a wery sweet scent (I think it’s the marzipan) and after that I smell the same lemon-bergamot combination what’s in the Creamy Meringue. Although these notes dosn’t even exsit in it, maybe the Kumquat gives the lemon feeling.
I think it’s a unique scent. Not for everyone. But for me it was a good choice!
The only problem with it, is the lasting power. For a limitid edition a moderate longevity?! It’s too expencive for this. It’s hard to understand this marketing.

This is the bom!!!! its smells exactly like marshmallow with sugar

More or less same as the yellow coloured one, the creamy meringue. Very sweet, perhaps a bit stronger and with a hint of rose in it. Nothing really special.
Should be OK for a limited edition.

Ok, I tried this perfume a couple times and I so wanted to love it, since I have the two others in the collection. And I do love it, it's sweet and addictive, while it's there. And that's the big problem-The sillage doesn't exist, it stays close to the skin and almost unnoticeable. Too delicate in my opinion, although I appreciate DKNY's effort in not making it sickly sweet as many other perfumes. I adore sweet, even very sweet perfumes, but this one is a miss for me. Shame, the bottle is so cute and the yellow and green relatives are great, especially the yellow one.

It was good at the beginning, it was sweet and I thought about buying it, i know that fragances change during the day so I took a walk around the store, only 10 minutes passed and the lovely sweet smell turn into a horrible and disgusting smell, it was disgustingly sweet. It gave me a headache :(( The lady said that a lot of people had buy it, but I was unlucky and it didn't match my skin chemistry, I was very sad u.u but happy when I washed my wrist lol :S

i love this sweet macaroons scents ! its not overpowering.the sweetness is just nice.currently my favourite scent :D

This one was brought to me by my hubby from Dubai as I had been obsessed with it since its announcement by Fragrantica. I had never own a fragrance from Donna Karan before so I thought to myself that ‘pink macaroon’ might be the perfect start.

When I first smelled it on my wrist, I didn’t notice straight away the marzipan note. The pomegranate note was so strong, along with the kumquat note, that I had a sour smell lingering, which I found peculiar and not pleasant for a perfume. After this strange reaction on my skin, I had a nice sugary smell combined with the rose note, making the perfume softer, a little bit powdery and very eatable!

I guess I had to have ‘pink macaroon’ develop so well on me, in order to enjoy it. But, honestly, I’m not enjoying wearing it as much as I wanted to, as its longevity is very weak. I can smell it for an hour and then, it’s like I didn’t put any perfume at all. And because of that, my bottle is half way gone now. Sad...

In conclusion, I do like it and it’s my “go for” perfume of the moment. Somehow, every time I spray myself with it, it also reminds me of a pastry shop, as per its sugar note. Makes me wish to eat a fruit tart right now!

Ok, so I haven't received mines yet, but to any Americans desperately craving this, if you have Google translate or can get buy in French, then French eBay has all 3. For $80 a piece, so you better be serious about it. UK eBay also has it as well. Will update as soon as I receive mines, but it will take a few weeks due to Customs and all that jazz. I'm highly disappointed in DKNY for not making it available in the US considering we popularized it in the first place, but I digress. I found a way around it thanks to my fellow and very helpful fragrantica users!

Dah de da, from Black Cashmere and Donna Karan to this? It doesn't even smell of macaroons. I think Jessica Simpsons Fancy is better and much cheaper for this sort of thing. The lemon meringue one is kind of cute if a bit odd on a woman.

this smells the best out of the 3 new releases. it does smell nice but doesnt last long at all. i sprayed it on my wrist from the tester they had in the shop and it was delicious but after about 15-20 minutes as i went to see if the scent had changed it was completely gone!!! if its staying power was better i might have actually went back to buy it but i refuse to pay that kind of price for a perfume that fades away to nothing after 20 minutes. The bottle would be gone in no time beacause of the amount of times i would have to apply it throughout the day.

overall- yummy scent that i would love to have in my collection but unfortunately VERY poor staying power so not worth the money!!!

This one reminds me a bit of a sweeter version of Marc Jacobs' Oh Lola..

Out of the 3 newly launched ones this one is the most bearable. Smells like confectionery, but a low quality one. Disappointing and overpriced. Suitable for early teens, but there are better (and cheaper) fragrances for them out there.

I didn't think much of this one- smelled like a generic floral. Peony isn't listed on here but its on the stores rap sheet and this is what is most prominent. A little almond/marzipan and the rest is all just your generic fruity floral. Certainly didn't remind me of cupcakes at all.

I love the smell of this its sweet without being sickly. I will definatly be getting this on payday

I was really looking forward to this one but it smelt nothing like what I was expecting. Very synthetic and quite peculiar. The other two are much better.

Tried it today at the airport in Copenhagen. It is another sweet, delicate perfum. Nothing outstanding at all, the sillage and staying power poor. And to be honest the bottle looks very cheap, plastic. Maybe they target teens and hence the cost-out on packaging. Not impressed...

These are now at Debenhams in the UK.

This starts out citrussy with the kumquat which has a slight bitter undertone. It's fruity with the nectarine and pomengranate making it sweet with the rose marzipan adding to it's sweetness. The slight bitterness, however, prevents it from becoming too sweet and sickly. It dries down to a softer version of the first spray rounded off with the amber.
That is the stage where I'd say it most reminds me a dessert.

The lasting power is around 4 hours with medium sillage. On my skin it reaches to the base much quicker than on paper but I prefer the softness of the base to the initial spray.

I've read that this will be available in the UK on March 4th as a Debenhams exclusive then released to other outlets from April 1st. :)

Patience is a virtue in which I do not possess! When is this coming out the wait is killing me! It better be available in the US, cause the last Candy Apples were overseas which was not fair!

i cant wait to try this and also would love to know when it will be avalible in UK and who are the 11 people who have already commented on the love/like dislike? no fair

I too, am wondering specifically where and when in the U.S. I keep seeing Feb. 2012 but, have yet to find it anywhere. Any help would be appreciated!

Can someone PLEASE tell me when and where these perfumes will be released?

i've read around now through april they are set to come out (but no real date was consistant).

and i have not heard anything about where they will be selling at.

This is the one of the three that I'm most intrigued about - those notes look insanely amazing.... *excited*
