The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2014 and crafted by perfumer Trudi Loren, DKNY My NY is a Chypre Floral fragrance that captures the essence of New York City. The composition begins with bright raspberry and pink pepper, creating an initial burst of freshness and energy. This gives way to a heart of Egyptian jasmine and freesia, which blend seamlessly into the rich patchouli and vanilla base notes. It's a scent that oscillates between fruity brightness and warm musk, reflecting the multifaceted nature of New York itself.

How to wear it

For optimal wear, apply this fragrance to pulse points in the morning. The fruity top notes will greet you throughout your day while the musky base notes develop over time, ensuring that the scent remains close to skin without overpowering. Ideal for daytime wear when its energetic vibrancy can shine.
