The story behind the bottle.
DKNY Men Summer 2016, launched in 2016 by Donna Karan, is a Woody Aquatic fragrance that captures the essence of urban summer. The composition opens with a bright burst of bergamot and lemon, followed by the tropical sweetness of pineapple and watery notes that evoke a refreshing splash. As it settles, violet adds an unexpected floral twist to the woody base of cedar, vetiver, and patchouli, creating a fragrance that is both fresh and grounding.
Apply this fragrance with a light hand; its bright citrus and watery notes are best experienced close to skin. It pairs well with daytime activities but may read as too fresh for evening events.
