Our interpretation of DKNY Be Delicious Mai Tai, a juicy cocktail inspired fruity floral built on orange and cassis with peach and peony over soft musk and amber. Rebuilt as a 50ml Eau de Parfum at up to 40% perfume oil and made in the EU.
The original has since been discontinued, which makes it harder to find. Our interpretation keeps that character available, rebuilt at a higher perfume oil concentration for bolder projection and longer wear.

DKNY Be Delicious Mai Tai dupe, inspired by the original
Be Delicious Mai Tai was a summery, cocktail inspired flanker of DKNY’s popular Be Delicious, adding juicy tropical fruit to the original’s crisp apple idea. It is bright, fun and easygoing. The original was a limited release and is now discontinued, so our interpretation keeps its playful character available, rebuilt as a long lasting eau de parfum made in the EU.
The Story Behind the Scent
DKNY released a series of Be Delicious flankers to give the fresh, fruity original new seasonal moods, and Mai Tai leaned into a tropical cocktail theme. It was designed to feel like summer in a bottle, juicy and cheerful, aimed at wearers who wanted something lighter and more playful than the original.
The character is all about juicy fruit. Orange oil, cassis and a touch of pink pepper give a bright, slightly zesty opening, a heart of peach, peony and jasmine adds a soft fruity floral warmth, and a base of musk and amber keeps it smooth and clean. It reads fun and summery, easy to throw on for a warm day. Because it was a limited release, it disappeared from shelves, and our version keeps that same playful character available.
How Our Version Compares to the Original
We do not claim this is identical, because no interpretation ever is. What we have captured is the original’s juicy citrus and peach opening and its soft musk base. Ours is blended at up to 40% perfume oil, so it projects more clearly and lasts longer than the original, keeping a discontinued flanker wearable.

The heart softens into fruity florals, with peach, peony and jasmine adding a light, sweet warmth. This is the cheerful, easygoing centre of the scent.

Common Questions
Is this the original DKNY fragrance?
No. This is our own interpretation of the Be Delicious Mai Tai scent profile, rebuilt at up to 40% perfume oil. It is not the branded fragrance and does not use the same formula.
Is Be Delicious Mai Tai a sweet perfume?
Somewhat. It has a juicy, fruity sweetness from the citrus and peach, but the clean musk base keeps it light and summery rather than heavy or sugary.
When is the best time to wear it?
It is at its best in spring and summer and during the day, when its juicy, cocktail like character feels most at home.
How long does it last?
Our version is blended at a high perfume oil concentration, well above a standard spray, so most wearers get a full day on skin and longer on clothing. Longevity always varies a little with skin type and weather.
Is it a feminine scent?
It was designed as a feminine fragrance and reads that way, though anyone who enjoys a fruity floral profile can wear it.
Is the original still available?
The original DKNY Be Delicious Mai Tai has been discontinued and is increasingly hard to find at retail. Our interpretation keeps the scent profile available and wearable.
