Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - DKNY My NY Eau de Parfum

This 2014 fruitchouli is a love-it-or-hate-it affair, with fans adoring its beast-mode raspberry and patchouli blend, while detractors find it sickly sweet and dated. It's truly a "my NY" experience- divisive, just like the city itself.

Statement

Our Verdict - Notorious Eau de Parfum

Notorious is an absolute chameleon, equally likely to spark adoration as it is disdain. Forget the name, it's a classy, intriguing floral with a surprising gourmand twist that some find divine and others, well, just a bit off.

Season and Occasion Fit

DKNY My NY Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn

Also Works:

Spring

Built for the cooler edges of the year - autumn and spring pair best.

Occasions

Best For:

Date

Also Works:

Casual

Given its 'beast mode' performance and strong sillage, this fragrance is best suited for evenings and social gatherings, where its bold character can shine without overwhelming those around you. While some find it office-appropriate, its intensity makes it a risky choice for close-quarter professional environments. The sweet, fruity, and musky accords lean towards playful and alluring scenarios rather than formal or athletic ones.

Notorious Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

Also Works:

Spring

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Also Works:

Office

Its moderate sillage and longevity, coupled with its elegant, warm spicy-floral profile, make it suitable for office and sophisticated evenings. However, its distinctive character might be a bit much for casual wear, and it lacks the freshness for sport.
