DKNY Be Delicious Latte: NYC’s coffee habit bottled in Matcha, Pistachio, Vanilla

I didn’t ask for foam on my apple, but New York rarely asks permission. Donna Karan’s DKNY is taking its street-smart Be Delicious DNA for a coffee run, serving a limited trio under DKNY Be Delicious Latte. The brief is straight from the corner café: three flavors, three moods, one city that runs on caffeine and attitude.

Let’s talk juice and vibe, not corporate latte art.

• Matcha: The green girl gets greener. If the original Be Delicious was crisp Granny Smith on a park bench, Matcha feels like slipping that apple into a milky tea. I’m expecting a cool, leafy lift with a soft cloud over it — a wearable morning scent that keeps the tempo up without shouting. Think gym bag to gallery hop, still fresh but with a sage-sweater calm.

• Pistachio: The flanker with side-eye. Nutty facets can turn cloying fast, yet pistachio done right has this salty-cream wink that flatters skin. Over the Be Delicious backbone, it could read like apple skin dipped in pale gelato. If you’ve been bored by safe florals, this is the one to test. It’s the “oh, that’s interesting” stop-and-sniff of the trio.

• Vanilla: Your cozy table-for-one. Vanilla is never just vanilla anymore — it’s tonka, latte froth, warm woods. Fold that into the apple-clean structure and you get a city sweater weather scent that doesn’t melt into cupcake territory. Office friendly, date friendly, subway-proof.

A quick reality check. These are limited runs, so they’re playing to 2026’s soft-gourmand mood without abandoning the line’s easy-wear reputation. The original 2004 Be Delicious made “clean” feel flirtatious. DKNY Latte aims to make comfort feel polished. I’m here for fragrances that let you choose your milk and still move fast.

Who’s which cup:

• Matcha if you live in sneakers and tinted balm.
• Pistachio if you collect niche almonds and roll your eyes at safe.
• Vanilla if your blazer hides a cashmere heart.

No hype, just a city fix. DKNY, Be Delicious, and this Latte trio prove you can soften the edges without losing the skyline. If you ever wanted your apple with a creamy side, barista’s ready.
