Video

An opulent perfume for women, a perfume with unusual and magical components; a cold, strict and elegant fragrance for daily and office use. An energicetic wave of the top awaits you with the notes of green tomato leaves, red orange juice and cold vodka. The floral heart is composed of water lily, orchid and daffodil. The composition closes with the mild and pleasant notes of birch and tulip.

JUST PERFECT!!!!!

i wore DKNY during junior high.i find it modern and "urban".it may be unique comparing to other frangrances but it strongly reminds me of lemons...i wouldnt say that its elegant...its more suitable for teenagers...doesnt bring out your feminine side! plus all men i've asked dont like to smell that on women! for that period(wearing something fresh and light to school) it was ideal, but i wouldnt buy it now!no wayyyyy!

p.s, i find it rather weird DKNY being in the floral fruity category. its neither floral, nor fruity!!!! it reminds me of CK ONE...definetely! yeap!it could easily be a unisex frangrance, in the citrus aromatic category!

this is an explosion of energy, a burst of happiness, pure joy in the middle of the city dust! I discovered DKNY at the beginning of this spring. having spent the whole winter in the heavy cloud of woody, spicy, leathery, tobacco, chyprish perfumes, I felt like taking a fresh breath and smelling something easy, light and optimistic that would instantly bring me into the mood of joy and light-heartedness.
yes, it turned out fresh&light but with its own unique character. nothing of the dullness of the common fragrances of this type. this is a cool, modern, crisp and invigorating scent reminiscent of the air in the spring forest and giving so much energy and lust for life. maybe it is the tomato leaves, citruses and vodka notes that I feel similar to geranium and find so likeable. the whole feeling about this perfume is that it smells very natural. regardless of how many synthetic notes it has (it probably does), the overall impression is of a sparkling, clean and cooling natural scent around you, perfect for both the dusty city summer and a holiday at the seaside.
really optimistic and refreshing, easy-to-wear, easy-to-like and quite lasting on me.

Modern urban fresh crisp...a hint of powdery masculine This one is so intersting & amazing on me Actually I don't expect sonmething that someone gave negative review so I get it on from counter ...after i've try it on myself,I changed my mind it works very much on me OMG. It's a kind of not boring scent for me...so unique love it WOW.

On me, it's a bland fruity-floral with a faky chemical note that I think must be the vodka. That burns off after a while, leaving a simple fruity-tea type of smell, a cousin to Tommy Girl. (Which is also completely inoffensive and boring on me.) Most scents last a long time on me, but this one waves a wan goodbye at about 1 1/2 hours and drifts off to sleep.

DKNY- a luxurious and unique scent

Standing on the beach, arms opened wild, cool sea breez shivering my sun-tanned, hot skin, feeling free and uncomplicated. That's what comes over me when layer DKNY.
On the other hand it's very urban and kind of mainstream, easily suits modern lifestyle.
Can be a great signature fragrance if it works well with one's chemistry.

Unfortunately, the tomato leaf is the only thing I can smell on me, and it doesn't fade. Hours later, it still smells like I was picking tomatos in the garden, and I never particulaly liked that smell.

wow it was the first perfume i bought for myself (at the age of 16), i'll buy it again, i'm really missing it. it's very energetic, i can see an inner movie when i smell this (i don't know how you say that in english): NY in a summer rain shower, you smell wet asphalt, a blond young women in a stylish grey trench with a white dress under it, without an umbrella, she drinks sparkling lemonade, neon advertising all around, yellow cabs, birds are singing, a flower shop offers lilys in front of the street...
DKNY is very unique and recognisable scent, someway avantgardistic. i used it in spring and summer, because it's so fresh and clean.

A fresh, modern, unusual and extravagant perfume.

This is one of my mom favourites and although it seems more suitable for younger ages is simple iressistible fun on her. Although it's described as a orange vodca coctail, it's quite different on my skin. The sweet strange comforting scent of tomato leaf is very attractively blended with sweet floral citrus.As it becomes drier and woodier heliotrope lends a softer powder aspect.it ends with a wisper of woodland,and it's suitable for everytime you feel like left your hair down.

This is a very unique scent! It was the only one I could wear when I was pregnant, it never gave those awful perfume headaches yet it was strong enough to be more than a body spray. The vodka tonic essence it what I love about this. So cold and refreshing, but still crisp and bold. Great for hot weather or a night out!

A little bit sharp at first, but it doesn't make me want to sneeze or anything. Just like one of those not-disturbing sharps. The intense citrus smells are long lasting indeed and they even get better as the time passes by. Very modern, squeaky clean scent. It even makes you want to take a bath in it. This is my favourite perfume so far and I got loads of compliments while wearing it. Well seems it fits my skin chemistry.

yeah,smells like lemon only to me too,it s a perfume i wouldn t buy and it doesn t seem opulent at all ,that s an eronate description.but for fresh perfume lovers i guess it s okay.

Thanks golden, helpful review, at least on this I won't waste my time trying, the first line sounds exactly what I am avoiding usualy.not to my taste

sharp,lemon, lime, vodka cocktail is how i would describe this sparkling vibrant perfume.
Best worn in summer or spring. Long lasting and elegantly fresh. I love it!
10/20/08 13:36:56
I tried this one today and i was really disappointed . In the begining it has a strong, sour and (in my opinion) unpleasant smell. I really wanted to like this one, so I decided to wait a couple hours and to see how it will smell. unfortunately , it had almost the same sour unpleasant smell. I smelled only the smell of a rotten lemon.

My favourite perfume!It`s cold modern citrus scent..I love it!
10/15/08 08:49:20
the description under the picture matches perfectly.I would add the fact that DKNY has a strong and very modern personality and cannot be subscribed to the conservative definiton of a feminine scent. it takes some courage to wear this one; although i like it very much, i don't dare (yet:)

Very good for work use. Elegant and sophisticated without being too heavy.
08/22/08 04:17:40
I smelled only lemon on it..
