Absolutely

Great scent for summer AND winter. Would love to try super small sample bottles of all DKNY scents for a few $. Then if I like I would purchase larger sixpence bottle. You can't smell scents on line so I am hesitant to purchase without actually knowing how the perfume smells. I don't like to go off...

Its Ok

Overpowering when first sprayed. It settles down after a few minutes. I won't order this one again. I really should've returned it but I had already thrown the box away. Lesson learned.

Yes

I like this perfume, however there's times when they send me the wrong one, to avoid the hassle I keep it. This last time I had to return it. It's happening to much. The perfume i like is the energizing perfume. You keep sending me the eau de toilette, or the vaporizer one.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

I love this product, will use for life!

When I wear this product, everyone knows I've been around. Don't have to use much, last a long time, great for the price, yet smells expensive! I feel naked when I forget to put some on. The bad part, when I couldn't find it:(

Details and Care for Dkny

DKNY by Donna Karan is a timeless women's fragrance that has been captivating hearts since its debut in 1999. Created by the legendary perfumers Calice Becker and Ann Gottlieb, DKNY Perfume was crafted as a love letter to New York City - a place alive with energy, ambition, and effortless style. Perhaps no detail captures this spirit better than its iconic apple-shaped bottle, a nod to the city's most beloved nickname. More than two decades later, DKNY by Donna Karan remains a beloved staple in the fragrance world, celebrated for its fresh femininity and its ability to feel both timeless and entirely of the moment.

DKNY Perfume by Donna Karan is a bright, airy, and deeply feminine floral fruity fragrance that opens with a vibrant burst of crisp apple, sparkling mandarin orange, zesty grapefruit, and sun-kissed Calabrian bergamot. As the scent blooms on the skin, a lush floral heart of lily of the valley, rose, violet, magnolia, and white freesia takes center stage - evoking the feel of a fresh bouquet carried through city streets in the springtime. The dry down settles into a soft, sensual base of warm musk, creamy sandalwood, and cashmere wood, leaving a delicate trail that is equal parts approachable and sophisticated. DKNY is the kind of signature scent that feels like second skin - perfect for everyday wear, romantic outings, or any occasion calling for fresh, feminine elegance.

Fragrance Family:

Floral, Fruity

Scent Notes:

Top Notes: Apple, Mandarin Orange, Grapefruit, Calabrian Bergamot

Middle Notes: Lily of the Valley, Rose, Violet, Magnolia, White Freesia

Base Notes: Musk, Sandalwood, Cashmere Wood

Questions And Answers

What does DKNY by Donna Karan smell like?

DKNY by Donna Karan is a fresh, feminine, and uplifting fragrance. It opens with bright citrus and crisp apple notes that immediately feel energizing and cheerful. As it wears, a beautiful floral bouquet of rose, violet, magnolia, lily of the valley, and white freesia emerges, giving the fragrance its undeniably feminine character. The base rounds everything out with warm musk, sandalwood, and cashmere wood for a soft, cozy finish.

What type of fragrance is DKNY Perfume?

DKNY Perfume by Donna Karan belongs to the floral fruity fragrance family. It balances the freshness of juicy citrus and apple top notes with a lush multi-floral heart and a warm, woody musky base - making it a well-rounded, versatile, and broadly appealing women's fragrance.

Where should you apply DKNY by Donna Karan?

To maximize the longevity and projection of DKNY Perfume, apply it to the body's pulse points - behind the ears, on the wrists, at the base of the throat, in the inner elbows, and behind the knees. These warm spots help the fragrance bloom naturally and carry its scent throughout the day.

How long does DKNY by Donna Karan last?

As an eau de parfum, DKNY by Donna Karan typically lasts between 6 to 8 hours on the skin. Longevity can vary based on individual body chemistry, skin type, humidity, and how it is applied. Moisturized skin tends to hold fragrance longer, so applying an unscented lotion beforehand can help extend its wear.

Is DKNY Perfume for women or men?

DKNY by Donna Karan is a women's fragrance, designed with a fresh, floral, and feminine spirit in mind. That said, its bright citrus opening and clean musk base give it a light, approachable quality that anyone drawn to fresh floral scents can enjoy and wear with confidence.

What season is DKNY by Donna Karan best suited for?

DKNY Perfume shines brightest in spring and summer, when its crisp apple, citrus, and floral notes feel perfectly in tune with warmer, sunnier days. However, thanks to its warm sandalwood and musk base, it transitions gracefully into fall as well, making it a genuinely year-round fragrance for those who love fresh florals.

What fragrances are similar to DKNY by Donna Karan?

Those who love DKNY Perfume by Donna Karan may also enjoy Light Blue by Dolce and Gabbana, Daisy by Marc Jacobs, and Chance Eau Tendre by Chanel - all of which share that same bright, fresh, and feminine floral character.
