The story behind the bottle.
DKNY Women Summer 2022 by Donna Karan was launched in 2022 and captures the essence of a modern summer day. Created by perfumer Yves Cassar, this fragrance opens with a burst of black currant, bringing an immediate freshness that transitions into the delicate white floral notes of orange blossom. The composition settles into a base of cashmeran, providing a soft, powdery warmth and an underlying musky depth that adds complexity without overpowering the lighter top notes.
Apply one to two sprays to ensure that the initial burst of black currant is balanced by the subtle floral heart and woody base. This composition works best during warmer months when its light, fresh notes can shine without becoming too heavy.
