The story behind the bottle.
Chaos by Donna Karan was launched in 2008 as a bold statement within the brand's repertoire. This aromatic spicy fragrance opens with a dynamic interplay of herbal and woody notes that create an intriguing tension, leading to a warm, spicy base that grounds the composition in rich, earthy depth. The scent is neither conventional nor predictable, embodying Donna Karan’s signature blend of elegance and modernity.
Apply Chaos to pulse points for a subtle yet lasting effect. The aromatic notes can be intense initially but settle into a more comforting warmth as the day progresses.
