The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2016, DKNY Women Summer 2016 by Donna Karan is a Floral Fruity fragrance that captures the essence of summer freshness. The composition opens with a vibrant sorbet and bellini, bringing to mind refreshing fruit flavors, before transitioning into a heart of lemon, peach, and goji berries. These sweet and tangy notes are complemented by water lily and violet, adding a delicate floral touch. Cashmere wood, musk, and white amber provide a warm, powdery base that keeps the fragrance grounded.

How to wear it

For the best experience, apply this fragrance in light layers. The fruity top notes are bright but fleeting, so layering allows you to enjoy both the initial burst and the warm base notes as they develop over time. It's ideal for daytime wear when you want a fresh, vibrant scent.
