FOR the first time in history, the notes of a DKNY fragrance have influenced the creation of one of a kind cupcake recipe. Talk about a sweet sensation! Famed pastry chef and confectionery superstar Johnny Luzzini has partnered with DKNY Sweet Delicious Fragrances to whip up an exquisite cupcake inspired by the collection’s lip-smacking notes.
“For me, the creation of food and fragrances are one and the same. Our sense of taste and smell are so closely linked,” says Luzzini.
“Once I studied these scents and the key ingredients, such as kumquats, orange zest and rose, I just knew I had to bring the delectable flavors to life and create the world’s first fragrance-inspired dessert.”
Luzzini’s Sweet Delicious Cupcake in an innovative sugar-flecked masterpiece is definitely not your grandma’s homespun recipe but a gourmet spin-off on the simple baked treat. Picture a mini-sized almond cake infused with orange curd, piped with rose water meringue, topped with a candied kumquat and crystallized rose petals and sprinkled with fresh pomegranate seeds. It’s an aromatic and totally tantalizing treat for your nose and tastebuds.

Who wants pie? This vibrant fragrance features a sparkling key lime pie accord blended with generous amounts of orange zest, bergamot, and mandarin with vibrant neroli.

Delightfully girly, this scent is a delectable confection filled with mouth-watering notes and delicate florals layered over a sensual creamy base. This succulent treat opens with a mixture of nectarine and kumquat, dipped in a layer of pomegranate, and rolled with a rose marzipan accord. An infusion of rich woods and tonka beans creates an addictive foundation that’s sifted in soft ambers. The icing on top? A hint of fluffy flower petals provides the pretty-in-pink finale.
Indulge in a decadent adventure! This scent has a cheerful personality with gourmet panache and bouncy freshness. The brightly colored fragrance reveals a vibrant radiance interlaced with femininity and a tantalizing allure. The yummy concoction begins with a zesty citrus blend of lemon cream, bergamot and a scrumptious ‘crepe Suzette’ accord. At is luminous center, a delicate pinch of yellow freesia mingles with a luscious medley of plumeria and passion flower. The final burst of sophistication is unveiled with dry cedarwood atlas and white amber drenched in a sensual musk.
