    Seems like the bottle for Loving Glow should have been purple with all of those purple ingredients! Or maybe they should all just come in a fruit cocktail can because they sound like a fruity mess.

      I admit I hated the name “Loving Glow” so much that I could not bring myself to care what color it was 😉

    This is what happens when you sell your name and your soul and it’s such a long way from Chaos & the KLingon Swan…

      Aye, but she could not make money with Chaos, that’s exactly why she licensed her name to Estee Lauder. And they have done some great scents for her, Black Cashmere among others. But agree what is happening under the DKNY range is pretty grim.

    I’m not going to go to Basenotes and count but we must be up to a hundred or so flankers of this line by now, right? They just seem to keep coming.

      I don’t know, because I am not going to go to Basenotes and count either! But certainly, they’ve done a lot. I still don’t think they’re even close to being a top flanker producer though.

    They all sound like a toothache in a bottle, but I guess if I were going to try one, I kinda feel like Citrus Pulse sounds less awful than the others.

      That’s the one I think sounds best too. But you never know. They could all be fab. Or they could all be yuck.

      Or little alarm clocks that wake you with gradually faster pulses (couldn’t resist) of light. 🙂

      I was thinking that they would make good night lights for a child’s bedroom!

    I’m tempted to try Citrus Pulse despite the way those round bottles make me feel like a klutz while spraying. They are cute though.

    After years of ignoring/avoiding DKNY scents because reasons** . . . I tried DKNY Sweet Delicious Tart Key Lime last month. The initial citrus blast was fabulous (Really, Really Good), but there was something underneath that was blergh on my skin, maybe violet leaf. Citrus Pulse might be better.

    **You know how when someone does something inexcusably offensive and is unapologetic and defensive about their actions, so then you can’t be around them without having to suppress a visceral shudder of fear/loathing/nausea? and they were wearing 12 spritzes a day of a certain scent for years leading up to being awful? Those reasons. 😯

      Sounds positively traumatic. 🙂

        I am being melodramatic, but at the time it was overwhelming. And it ruined a scent for me, but I’m ready to move on and enjoy it again. 🙂

      Oh wow… Can’t have been the original apple because that’s quite inoffensive, I think?

        Yah, you’re right, it wasn’t the original apple. It wasn’t an apple at all . . . something cashmere.

        It’s not the scent that’s difficult at all, it’s the scent memory. But I’m going to assume that enjoying a DKNY Delicious scent is a step in the right direction. 🙂
