DK by Donna Karan, launched in 1994 and created by IFF and Jean Claude Delville, is a Woody Floral Musk fragrance that bridges the gap between day and night with its complex layers of warmth and depth. The opening notes of pineapple, apricot, peach, and bergamot create an inviting sweetness that transitions seamlessly into a heart of floral and green accords like osmanthus, orange blossom, heliotrope, orchid, carnation, jasmine, ylang-ylang, rose, lily, and incense. The base notes of suede, amber, musk, benzoin, vanilla, patchouli, cedar, tonka bean, sandalwood, vetiver, and citruses anchor the fragrance with a rich, warm spiciness that lingers long after application.

Application Tips
Apply DK to pulse points for optimal warmth. The fruity top notes fade quickly, but the base notes take about an hour to fully bloom, so give it time to develop on your skin before layering or reapplying.
