The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

DKNY Love from New York for Women was launched in 2009 and crafted by perfumers Jean Claude Delville and IFF. This fragrance opens with a bright citrus-aromatic accord, blending the freshness of bergamot and lemon with the subtle hints of white florals like jasmine and gardenia. The heart introduces soft spicy notes that add warmth without overpowering the delicate balance. As it settles into the base, woody and aquatic accords create an atmosphere that feels both grounded and uplifting.

How to wear it

Apply two sprays to pulse points. The citrus opening is bright and immediate but fades within an hour, so ensure you capture that initial freshness. The base notes develop slowly, so this fragrance reads better close to skin than in the air.
