The story behind the bottle.
DKNY Women Summer 2008 was launched by Donna Karan in 2008, blending the aromatic and fruity notes typical of summer scents with a surprising touch of smoky leather. Jean Claude Delville and IFF crafted this composition to evoke the vibrant energy of an urban summer day. The citrusy top notes give way to a heart of green and fresh spicy accords, while the woody base adds depth and warmth. This fragrance is both refreshing and complex, capturing the essence of a lively city in the heat of summer.
This fragrance has long-lasting qualities but a moderate sillage. Apply one or two sprays to let it develop gradually throughout the day. The woody base will continue to warm up over time, making it perfect for both daytime and evening wear.
