Which Should You Buy?
This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair. For some, it's a nostalgic, clean, and energising blast of citrus and green, while for others, it's a harsh, chemical mess. Definitely not a safe blind buy.
12 DK follows the original DKNY Women's tomato-leaf-and-florals signature fairly faithfully, though the sandalwood-suede base is noticeably softer and shorter-lived than the real thing.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.
Occasions
Its clean, fresh, and often described as 'professional' nature makes it ideal for the office and casual wear. The sharp opening and potentially divisive tomato leaf accord, combined with its strong projection, makes it less suitable for formal events or intimate dates.
Seasons
A green-floral that reads best spring and early autumn.
Occasions
Versatile office-to-casual wear with enough polish for a daytime date.
