The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2018, DKNY Men Summer 2018 by Donna Karan is a Woody Spicy fragrance that captures the essence of an urban summer. The composition opens with green and musky notes that create a fresh, vibrant atmosphere, before settling into a woody base layered with powdery and vanilla accords. This blend offers a modern take on summertime freshness, combining crisp outdoor scents with warm, comforting undertones.
This fragrance is best applied to pulse points for a subtle, long-lasting effect. The green and musky top notes fade within an hour, so layering with the woody base can help maintain its warmth throughout the day.
