The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2020, DKNY Men Summer 2020 by Donna Karan captures the essence of modern sophistication with its woody-spicy composition. Perfumer Yves Cassar has crafted a scent that opens with vibrant citrus and green apple notes, creating an initial freshness that is both invigorating and crisp. The heart of nutmeg adds warmth and complexity, while the base notes of ambertonic, musk, amberwood, and vetiver provide a rich, enveloping finish that lingers on the skin.
Apply two sprays to ensure that the initial freshness is balanced by the deeper base notes. The scent projects best close to skin and is perfect for daytime wear when you want a blend of crispness and warmth.
