Launched in 2019 by Donna Karan and crafted by perfumer Laurent Le Guernec, DKNY Men Summer 2019 is a Woody Aromatic fragrance that captures the essence of summer freshness. The composition opens with vibrant citrus notes of bergamot and grapefruit, combined with the subtle spiciness of pink pepper. As it develops, geranium adds an aromatic layer, while Haitian vetiver grounds the scent with earthy warmth. The base notes of musk, amber, patchouli, cashmirwood, and labdanum create a rich, woody texture that lingers on the skin.

Application Tips
Apply two sprays to your pulse points for optimal longevity. The citrus notes are bright but short-lived, so rely on the base notes to carry the scent throughout the day. This fragrance is best suited for daytime wear when its fresh, woody aromatics can fully shine.
