The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2012 by Donna Karan and crafted by perfumer Bruno Jovanovic, Pure DKNY A Drop Of Rose is a floral fragrance that captures the essence of modern elegance. The composition opens with bright citrus notes that give way to a heart of rose, which unfolds into a warm, woody base laced with fruity accents. This blend creates an inviting and sophisticated aroma that embodies Donna Karan's signature style — both lasting and contemporary.
Apply one or two sprays to your pulse points — the fragrance's fruity top notes are fleeting but vibrant, while the woody base provides lasting comfort. This scent reads best close to skin, making it perfect for daytime wear.
