Launched in 2012, DKNY Men Summer 2012 by Donna Karan is a Woody Aquatic fragrance that captures the essence of summer in an urban setting. The composition opens with bright citrus notes of grapefruit and yuzu, which are balanced by the warmth of pepper. As it develops, sea water and elemi resin create a fresh, marine atmosphere, while geranium adds a green freshness. The base notes of cedar, vetiver, and labdanum provide a woody, earthy foundation that grounds the scent.
