In plain words

The main accords of DKNY Be Delicious are green and fruity. It opens with Cucumber and Grapefruit, reveals Green Apple and Lily-Of-The-Valley at its heart, and dries down to Woodsy Notes and Sandalwood. It lasts a moderate time and projects moderately; people reach for it in spring and summer, mostly by day.
