DKNY DKNY Nectar Love is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2017. DKNY Nectar Love opens with Nectarine, Grapefruit, Mandarin, and Freesia, settles into a heart of Mirabelle Plum, Jasmine, and Lily of the Valley, and dries down to a base of Musk, Neroli, Cedar, and Vanilla. DKNY's DKNY Nectar Love carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

This one's a proper mixed bag, isn't it? If you fancy smelling like a honey-drenched fruit orchard with a clean, shampoo-like finish, and you're not bothered by fleeting performance, this could be your warm-weather winner. But be warned, some noses find it pure air freshener.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer
Also Works:
Fall

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Sport

Its sweet, clean, and often light projection makes it suitable for casual wear or even a summer date. While some find it office-appropriate due to its inoffensive nature, its inherent sweetness might be too much for formal settings, and its poor longevity limits its utility for sport.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

  • Bitter orange peel Citrus Aurantium Amara Peel Oil from Neroli
  • Neroli Citrus Aurantium Amara Flower Oil from Neroli
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Nectar Love swoops in with a bright, juicy blast of nectarine and grapefruit, warmed by a unique 'solar note' that feels like sunshine on your skin. A heart of delicate lily of the valley and sweet mirabelle plum blossoms, all underpinned by a surprisingly prominent beeswax and honey accord. The dry-down settles into a soft, musky cedar and vanilla, retaining that distinctive waxy-sweet warmth and cleanliness, reminiscent of 'fine, branded soap'.
