The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2011, DKNY Men Summer 2011 by Donna Karan is a Woody Aromatic fragrance that captures the essence of an urban summer. The composition opens with bright lime and spicy ginger, creating a zesty contrast that energizes the senses. As it evolves, pomegranate adds a touch of fruity warmth, while vetiver and oak moss ground the scent with earthy depth. This blend is designed to balance freshness and richness, making it perfect for the vibrant energy of city life.

How to wear it

Apply two sprays to your pulse points in the morning for optimal impact. The lime and ginger top notes are bright but dissipate quickly, so rely on the vetiver and oak moss base notes to carry you through the day. This fragrance is best suited for daytime wear as its fresh and spicy character pairs well with the dynamic energy of city life.
