The Story

Launched in 2000, DKNY Men by Donna Karan is a Citrus Aromatic fragrance that captures the essence of urban freshness and sophistication. The composition opens with ginger and mandarin orange, creating an invigorating and zesty start before settling into a heart of ivy and juniper, adding a green and aromatic layer. The base notes of maple and sandalwood provide warmth and depth, grounding the fragrance in rich woodiness. IFF, the masterminds behind this scent, have crafted a blend that resonates with the energy and style of New York City.

Application Tips

This fragrance has a bright opening that fades within an hour, so apply two sprays to ensure the warm base notes carry through the day. It pairs well with layered clothing but reads best close to skin rather than across a room.
