Is there something wrong with my nose? I don't get citrus AT ALL in this - just GRASS!! I like to catch a light whiff of it and think it's very unique if a little overpowering full-on.

I LOVE IT , SUPER-COOL SUMMER SCENT AND I SMELLS STRONG LEMON GREEN POWERFULL BUT PLEASANT. LIGHT BLUE by DOLCE IS MORE SWETEER AND WITH LESS RESISTANCE to HIGH TEMPERATURES. THIS IS DIFFERENT, SMELLS TO LONG DISTANCE AND DURATION It's GREAT!
WHEN YOU TEST MAYBE IS TOO STRONG, BUT THEN IN THE SKIN FEELS LOW AND NICE DURING THE DAY ... I LOVE MY NEW PARFUM...AWESOME!!!!!

ME ENCANTA, SUPER-FRESCO DE VERANO Y SIENTO UN LIMON VERDE Y FUERTE..LIGHT BLUE DE DOLCE ES MAS DULCE Y SUAVE TB CON MENOR RESISTENCIA A ALTAS TEMPERATURAS, ESTE ES DISTINTO SE DISTENGUE A DISTANCIA Y LA DURACION ES BUENISIMA!!!
CUANDO LO PROBAS QUIZAS ES DEMASIADO FUERTE, PERO LUEGO EN LA PIEL BAJA Y SE SIENTE RICO DURANTE EL DIA...ADORO MI ULTIMA ADQUISICION!!!

Wow, this scent!!!!!I definitely LOVE it!!! I love the orange note on it. It is fresh, extremely long lasting, special for summer time, since though it is fresh and citrusy, it is strong and can be smelled the whole day. I love perfumes that are fresh and strong at the same time, this and L eau par Kenzo are my favourites for summer

A strong burst of vodka and orange which quickly morphs into a fresh, crisp green note, but still with a touch of sweetness. Very fresh and cheery, but sophisticated. Final drydown is a sweet wood and amber. This scent is not at all what I'd typically wear, but it's quite lovely. I could see myself using it as a fabric mist after a day of spring cleaning.

Hate this, also seems to be worn by women I just don't get on with, don't know whether it's the scent that makes me dislike the women or vice versa. I think it's the scent, I makes me wretch a litte.

This perfume smells divine on me. Never thought that the scent of tomato leaf and oranges can work so well together. Yes, it's an unusual but such an amazing summer fragrance:fresh and fruity, BUT nothing like the typical fruity Escada scents nor L'eau Par Kenzo kind of fresh. Simply beautiful. I will definitely wear this next summer

No, I can't find apricot, sandalwood, jasmine or other ingredients in it, nothing except ORANGE, or rather MANDARIN. But it means that scents are perfectly blend. I don't want to smell rose or patchouli in it, I like that wonderful icy orange, and that's why I love this fragrance!

I am always surprised to read what the ingredients supposedly are. To me it smells like nothing but zesty lemons, lemons and more lemons - and maybe a hint of lime.

I am curious, can you guys smell the apricot, the lotus, the narcissus, the rose? Honestly, I cannot.

Regardless, this is a wonderful, very fresh scent for summer. Helps me wake up in the morning!

At first when tryed at the store I thought it was nice, but a few months later, I change my mind, it was totaly different. I mean, I like citrus and tomato leaves but this combo with the flowers and patchuli is too sharp, too strong for me and it definetely wakes my allergies up. Sorry not a fan!

I first bought it as a present for someone who said they loved it. My then husband saw it - have no idea if he actually smelled it - and even though I mentioned how bad I thought it smelled, he later on gave me it as a present. I should have known then!

Okay, I'm giving this one a rare thumbs up for such an indignant citrus!
Anyone who knows me associates hard-core, dark fragrances (Hypnotic Poison, Black Orchid, Basic Instinct, etc.) as my preferred fragrances.
I got this as a sample so I thought, "WTH, just try it out"... and I'm surprised!
At first spray, I guessed Tangelo as the showstopper. Once it died down some, I was like "Tangel-oohhhhh-my-goodness... what is that?"
Still smell that crisp citrus note but it's softened to blend a nice velvety floral-like note in with it.
Definitely edgy and uplifting!

I was expecting to like this, but it turns out I am not a fan. The only notes I could really make out were citruses (mainly orange), plus a blast of alcohol. Overall the perfume has a sort of chemical scent to it that makes me uneasy.

It does smell fresh in a way, but it's too synthetic smelling to justify the price tag attached to it. To me the scent is quite similar to Bath & Body Works Orange Sapphire. In this case I wouldn't see any reason to recommend DKNY when there are other similar scents that seem to be of similar quality but are lower in price.

Extremely uplifting and energetic!
I agree it may be quite schocking in the beginning - the opening is of strong concentrated laundry detergent smell. Very sharp, but super fresh. I hated it first, too, but surprisingly all my male friends loved it since the very beginning (probably laundry makes them think about their mum, lol).
The opening brings notes of fresh tomato leaves and wet pavement after the rain (no, it's not just marketing, I ensure you!) very dynamic and free-feeling, and that I really enjoy.
Through all stages it keeps the out-of-washing-machine-T-shirt accents, so to anybody who looks for this kind of scent it is highly recommended. But then in time it exhibits more and more floral notes, very fresh and simply lovely! I can't name the exact flower that is the most prominent, so I suppose it is yellow water lily - I don't know it, but the smell is exactly how I imagine yellow water lily! Rose and jasmin are noticeable too.
The base is always fresh and suedy, and I think I love suede in perfumes! It's new, better leather for me - and the smell of the floor paste, new pair of shoes and wood that it combines is, for me, adorable, and very modern.
Suitable for young at heart, brave and smart ladies of all ages, I think.
The biggest advantages: lasting power, sillage (I conclude from the number of compliments) and, last but not least, quality: it is a very well done, complex scent that changes, evolves and has no weak points at no stage.
The con: too cold for winter. Cold in general (but with a charm to it, too), if it's not what you like you might be disappointed.

Oh my god! The first time you spray, it smells like generic shower gel liquid in an expensive crystal bottle....
It is very sharp and acid. It is fresh of course, but it is not feminine at all. If you blindly smell it you would say it is a men edt.
I think it doesn't worth at all the price you pay for it. There are thousand of better fragrances in the market, softer and much more comfortable than this one..
And of course, forget about the sexual feeling showed in the advertisement of the fragrance. I think it is an anti -libido scent. You can perfectly repel moschitos as well as men with this scent!!

I am really dissapointed with this fragrance... I was waiting something better...

This is as fresh as Light Blue by Dolce and Gabbana but it's more sharp and edgy a bit. I will agree with some of the comments- I can smell lemon, but it kind of has some cool in it, something that feels like a nice breeze is following you around. I like it for the summer, it's enough to spray it couple of times and it will last whole day. I would recommend it to brave ones.

I am so confused! In about 2000 I found this DKNY for women scent and absolutely fell in love with it. But now I smell what is marketed as the same fragrance and it's totally different to the one I liked before. Obviously I know our palettes change over the years, but I really don't think this is the issue. Can you still buy the 1999-2001 fragrance? All the newer, similarly-named-and-boxed fragrances I have come across are much more masculine than I remember the original being. Can anyone clear this up for me please? =(

Vodka meets Floral, add a touch of tomato leaf and a hint of blackberries and you have DKNY for women, well at least in my opinion. Hard to describe, this perfume, but it worked fantastic on my skin, most unusual and highly sophiscated and the staying power was great. It is not really floral, it has this beautiful cold bright note (but not citrus or anything orangey, to my nose) which harmonizes perfectly with the other notes and stays with me, right to the end. Amazing! People ask me "what IS that very interesting perfume you are wearing?" so DKNY is definitely an intriguing fragrance. It has a mind of its own, is not suffocatingly sweet nor is it soapy or citrussy. It is intoxicating. Must be the vodka note in it LOL Beautiful mind-boggling and unforgettable fragrance, well done DKNY!!!

Tiene un olor muy particular que a mí me encanta. Es cítrico y me huele a limpio y a plantas (!!). Es cierto que recuerda al Vodzka también.
Es un perfume intenso aunque fresco, y tiene una gran permanencia en la piel. Me gusta usarlo cuando viajo. Es "energizante" y me transmite movimiento y vitalidad.

I love to drink Vodka and Orange, but I don't like to smell as though someone's poured my drink all over me! Does smell rather too strongly of orange juice, although I've never caught the vodka notes in it! There's also a strange greeny note that I think is the tomato, and that on top of the orange is enough to send me running in the opposite direction!

I discovered this in 2004 when I was pregnant with my first child, and almost all other scents made me feel quite ill.

It was love at first smell!

Citrus, crisp and clean, I love wearing it on a hot summer day, and it's a great pick-up scent if you've had a heavy night. Perfect for daytime and wearing to work.

This is so different from all my other scents, I wouldn't be without it.

Let's go back to the summer of 2000. Every girl wore this! Its funny how my perceptions change. Back then, this to me was a fresh, juicy, citrus fragrance; clean and summery. Upon smelling it now I find it oddly masculine, and linear, but back then that didn't bother me. Its also a pure "lab" scent. Hard to recongnize any natural notes. A fragrance of steel, concrete, skyscrapers, glossy magazines, shiny electrical devices, mirrored aviators, martinis with lime, crisp white shirts. Very modern and urban.

Since its release, I have never been without this. To me it represents clarity. The citrus is bright, clean, and balances beautifully with bitter greens. The floral is light. It is luminous, like the bottle, which I think is supposed to represent the glass skyscrapers in New York (It was originally called DKNY New York).

This perfume is happening in my life for seasons. It is striking, modern, fresh notes, energizing ,yet sophisticated. However, it contains something, especially at the start, I do not define ... astringent perhaps ¿? that it can be suffocating at times, especially on hot days or in confined spaces with people. But it feels good on other occasions, seasons or days.
And it is very recognizable and striking ... .

The base notes appear in my skin slightly soapy, and a little citrus , very soft.
But the body lotion, is really great and conforting .The smell is fantastic and lasting without the primal force of perfume. Really nice and special.


I LOVE IT*

PD: when I finish mi bottle some day..., if I want to repeat , i want buy the body cream .

There is nothing feminine about this at all. I had to double check that I hadn't picked up a men's fragrance when i tried this. Smells like a very fresh, lemony cleaning fluid, great for sparkling floors, not so great for a perfume. Terrible!!

I like the body lotion but the perfume just feels too heavy on me. I can still smell it after hours and gives me a bit of nausea. Let's see how I manage to finish the bottle without feeling sick!

UPDATE: I tried it again today, just to make sure I can't wear it. The pity is that I really like the starting notes, so fresh and clean, but the drydown? I can't stand it, there's some very sharp note that really makes me turn my head every time I sniff my wrists. I think it's a fragrance I can only like on others, on myself its definitly too strong. For me it's like wearing limoncello (the italian lemon liquor) and I'd rather drink it.

Aaahhh..My summer love!! I wore this to college,work interviews and almost everywhere, day and night!This is the BEST perfume that DKNY ever made! I'm a sucker for citrusy scents, and this perfume just NAILED everything right! it's fresh,crisp,and clean at the same time. It's not a strong citrusy scent but it last almost 24 hours on my skin & clothes. Absolutely love it,but I'm having a hard time finding it right now :(.

I wore this to work, days and nights when working in the Maternity dept. Everyone loved it on me. It leaves a wonderful little trail as you pass by and you see the noses going up to take in the wonderful fresh aroma.
Even though I would normally wear these citus perfumes in hot weather, this one is anytime of year for me. I smell the fruits laced with Vodka, just simply always a gorgeous scent for any occasion or age.

Love my DKNY. I have problem with strong perfumes. I get head aches but not with this one. It is fresh and remains fresh to the end. Not sweet or sour or too heavy on spice and woods. Nothing is like it. I have smelled a lot of perfumes that have similarities with one another but this one is unique.

This was a blind purchase. I knew I would like it from reading the reviews, but it turned out to smell even better than I expected. This was love at first sniff! It smells exactly like Givenchy oblique Play which I used to wear before it was discontinued. It smells like vodka and lemonade!
Obviously this is not the kind of scent I'd want to wear for a romantic dinner, but it is great for daytime wear.

This had been my “hangover scent” for some time, i.e. the only one I was able to wear the day after heavy partying, which equals drinking alcohol, inhaling others’ perfumes and cigarettes’ fumes in a pub, etc.

I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw it categorized as floral fruity. To me it smells slightly citrusy and herbal, a bit airy and very refreshing altogether. It has no sweetness into it at all. It’s fresh and light, yet helps you feel safely “down-to-earth” – something you really need when the world seems to be spinning around you.

This is a unique fragrance and quite strange. It's not type of sweet fragrance you find at other brands.
It starts with orange peel scent,true orange peel!!! without synthetic and herbal scent.
I can't detect any floral notes. It has wet cobblestones in base note, I cannot stand. Imagine you are on the cobblestones floor after raining, that's it,so I won't wear it on my body. I like citrus scent but this one doesn't impress me.

Ooh! Nice one for Spring! DKNY Women smells fresh and clean, without smelling like soap and detergent. I find the aroma to be a combination of Squirt (a grapefruit-flavored soda here in the U.S.) and the old Herbal Essence shampoo (the dark green potion of the 1970's, with the long-haired hippie lady painted on the label, which was WAY better-smelling than the Herbal Essences shampoos available today).

Not too sweet. A bit green and herbaceous, with a pretty dry-down like Delrae's Amoureuse. I had almost given up on the fruity-floral category, but DKNY Women has changed my mind. THIS is a fruity-floral I can really get behind.

Very strange scent. Is it dry cleaning fluid, static electricity or the smell you find in a room where the window has been left open all day?
A cold, clean and fresh scent.
The best thing I can say about it is that it doesn't smell like any other perfume. It's not an unpleasant scent but in my opinion it is far too "chemical" to use as a perfume.

In 3 words: ARTIFICIAL - BRIGHT - FRESH

This is a fragrance I have remained happy with for years...Although I may not feel like wearing it every day, because this is kind of "pick me up" fragrance and not at all sensual or warm or moody one (and sometimes I feel like wearing those)... It is impossible to get bored with it - very unique, but easy, unobtrusive, modern, crisp, energizing, fresh, optimistic and instantly recognizable. I love the tomato leaf in this!

A sharp citrus scent and it lasts long. My least favorite among my perfumes. I tried to like it but it's just not my type of fragrance. I feel nausea when I wear it, but it's indeed a clean scent. I would rate it as OK.

I gave it away to my sister. It's the only perfume I wanted out of my collection without regrets of missing it.....

The combination of citrus fruits and flowers make this perfume really sparkly. I wouldn't call it sharp just fresh and sparkling.

The drydown on my skin actually reminds a bit of Miss Dior Cherie L'eau, this one having a stronger citrusy note so that it actually smells like lemon to me.

Nice perfume, I would probably like to wear it if I liked the smell of lemon on me. Although I like the smell of this when someone else is wearing it.

Clean and refreshing but unfortunately not my cup of tea. A pleasant enough lemon-scented detergent blend in my opinion.

I'll give credit to this fragrance for being unique and modern. DKNY is like a mixture of fruits, soapiness and spices. There is also a subtle hint of alcohol, like vodka intermixed with the citrusy top notes.

I have actually smelt this on a girl that I used to work with that really did this scent justice. On her DKNY smelt clean and pretty but on my skin this fragrance is acrid and strong. It really depends on skin chemistry with this scent.

I read somewhere that there was a note of wet cobblestones in this fragrance and somehow I sense it. DKNY does remind me of a city just after a storm, the smell of damp concrete and stone. A fascinating scent to say the least.

This is a relatively light scent which lasts a great while on the skin. I can't say that I disliked this fragrance, I enjoyed it to a certain extent just not on myself.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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:)
