[DKNY](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dkny-be-delicious-ice-pop) has introduced a limited edition trio of fragrances called Be Delicious Latte. The lineup includes Matcha, Pistachio, and Vanilla. These new scents serve as flankers to the original 2004 Be Delicious fragrance.

As the name might suggest, DKNY's new Be Delicious Latte draws inspiration from New York City's coffee culture. The Matcha version opens with mandarin, pink pepper, and crisp apple before revealing jasmine, rose, and matcha tea at its heart, then settles into sandalwood, amber, and musk. The Pistachio variety combines [toasted pistachio](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pistachio-candle), Italian bergamot, and Seville orange with a creamy center of vanilla orchid, café latte, and white peony, finishing with marshmallow, tonka bean, sandalwood, and amber tonic. The Vanilla interpretation starts with pink pepper and a [vanilla gelato accord](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-7-virtues-and-on-third-thought), moves through vanilla orchid and solar floral notes, and dries down to solar amber and musk for a warm, sophisticated base.
