When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Summer

Spring

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date

Its fresh, clean, and subtle nature makes it ideal for office wear and casual outings, as it's unlikely to offend. The poor sillage means it's a 'skin scent', making it suitable for close encounters like dates, but less impactful for formal events. It's also great for warmer weather and active use due to its refreshing quality.

About

Pure DKNY Verbena opens with an invigorating burst of lemony verbena and fresh basil, bringing a vibrant, herbaceous zing. This quickly mellows into a heart of delicate white florals - jasmine, peony, and honeysuckle - adding a soft, slightly sweet femininity. The base settles into a unique aquatic accord of seaweed and vetiver, giving it an earthy yet cool, almost dewy finish, with a touch of amber for warmth. It evokes images of a cool mountain lake or a seaside garden.
