The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Signature by Donna Karan, launched in 2008, is an Oriental Floral fragrance that embodies the designer's signature blend of elegance and versatility. The composition opens with a bright floral note that transitions into a warm, spicy heart, creating a sense of depth and complexity. Patchouli adds earthy richness to the base, complemented by powdery and amber notes that evoke a cozy, intimate atmosphere. This fragrance is as multifaceted as Donna Karan's fashion designs — designed to take you from day into night with effortless sophistication.

How to wear it

Apply Signature with two sprays to the pulse points — it blooms within minutes and maintains its warmth throughout the day. The powdery base notes ensure longevity, making it perfect for lasting impact from morning until evening.
