DKNY DKNY Women is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1999. DKNY Women opens with Orange, Mandarin, Tomato Leaf, and Apricot, settles into a heart of Water Lily, Rose, Jasmine, and Ylang-Ylang, and dries down to a base of Suede, Amber, Sandalwood, and Patchouli. DKNY's DKNY Women carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

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.

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:

Also Works:
Spring

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport

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.

About

DKNY Women opens with a sharp, invigorating burst of citrus, dominated by juicy orange and mandarin, immediately undercut by the distinctive green, almost metallic tang of tomato leaf. As it settles, subtle florals like water lily and jasmine emerge, lending a watery, cool quality, though never stealing the limelight. The dry down is a clean, slightly woody affair, grounded by a hint of birch and suede, maintaining its fresh and edgy character from start to finish.
