The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 1999 by Donna Karan, DKNY Women is a Floral Fruity fragrance that epitomizes the brand's blend of American elegance and modern sophistication. The composition opens with bright citrus notes like orange and mandarin, balanced by fresh tomato leaf and green accords for an unexpected twist. At its heart, water lily and jasmine mingle with ylang-ylang and rose, creating a lush floral bouquet that transitions seamlessly into a woody base of birch, suede, sandalwood, and patchouli. The result is a dynamic scent that captures the essence of urban femininity, both fresh and grounded.
DKNY Women has a strong opening that fades into its heart notes after about an hour. Apply one to two sprays to allow the woody base to emerge gradually throughout the day. It's best suited for daytime wear, where its fresh citrus and floral notes can shine without overpowering.
