The story behind the bottle.
DKNY Women Summer 2009, launched in 2009, captures the essence of a vibrant summer day. The composition opens with bright citrus and tropical fruits that read as sunlit zest, before transitioning into a fresh, spicy heart that adds a subtle warmth. The base notes of floral and green iris bring an earthy sensuality to the mix, creating a scent that feels both refreshing and grounding.
Apply one or two sprays to pulse points. The citrus opening is bright but fades within an hour, so reapply as needed for a lasting impression. This fragrance reads best in warm weather, where its fresh tropical notes come alive.
