Donna Karan Donna Karan for women

I need this, it reminds me if my youth , dark smoky clubs and a sense of wild freedom , wintry nights and warm seduction, but then the cosy comforts and safety of a blankie, bring it back , even if its just for the bottle with its aesthetic curvaceous shape, unlike many of todays round pebble styles, which unfortunatley like seems to be the change from my youth to womanhood .

i have one 1,7ozbrand new sealed bottle of this.please pm me if youre intersted.

who knowes where i can buy Donna Karan Black Cashmere? In The Netherlands they don't sell it anymore.

why is this fragrance categorised as a floral?....am a tad lost

One of the most remarkable scents of the 20th century hands down.

This scent capture the sophisticated glam of Manhattan. Think to yourself Madison Ave at night light up by all the boutique windows along that avenue as you look out from tinted car window being whisks off to exclusive evening gallery opening party in trendy So Ho.

No scent capture that then Donna Karen New York. For the life of me I could never understand why Estee Lauder when the took over the DK fragrance portfolio canceled this fragrance along with the male counter part. The original bottles themselves where works of sculptured art from Donna husband.

Think beautiful rich suede against white orchid with a mist of smoky tobacco and amber vanilla.

Everything else from Lauder under the DKNY name has been trash.

Amazing oriental that reminds me of classics like Chanel Antaeus and Jacomo de Jacomo. Notice that both of the fragrances I mentioned are masculines. This is perfectly unisex, with dark fruits and incense/leather notes. It also proves a suitable replacement for vintage Antaeus, in case you're a fan of Antaeus but don't like the reformulation.

I happen to have a vintage bottle. It's good stuff.

Donna Karan must really love her dark woodsy scents. Donna Karan, the re-released version in a tall, black cylindrical bottle, while it isn't as popular or as bold as Black Cashmere and Chaos, it is a remarkable scent on its own.

Donna Karan opens with a surprisingly soft, almost soapy blend of fruits and flowers. The fruits are so mild in this composition that it comes nowhere near the fruity concoctions produced in the DKNY range.

As the fragrance settles, Donna Karan develops into a rather heady and warm blend of dark florals, earthy patchouli, thick resins and smokey woods. I believe if it wasn't for the sugary vanilla note in the heart and drydown, this fragrance would smell quite masculine and thick.

This fragrance is sexy, but in a rather subtle fashion. The scent speaks confidence, power and maturity. From what I've experienced from both Donna Karan's fragrance range and DKNY's releases, real women wear Donna Karan and young girls, DKNY.

Despite it's dominant woodsiness and complexity, Donna Karan is rather clean smelling too. It is very unlike Black Cashmere and Chaos which tend to be very animalistic and dirty in a sense. This is the kind of fragrance I would wear to an office in Winter, that is, if I worked in an inclosed atmosphere.

The lasting power is very good and the sillage is average to moderately strong. In all honesty I do prefer Donna Karan's stronger blends, however Donna Karan Signature is just as worthy of being re-released as all the others.

This came to me in the way of a romantic gift for Valentine's Day from a great love of my life which was never going to work, (the love, not such an issue the perfume). Its great. I do see it as a more autumnal/winterish scent though that doesn't have to be limited to that. It always struck me as 'suede-ish' or 'leather-ish', very class, warm. I did miss it when the bottle ran out. Years later when I worked for a company that rep'd it I got a bottle to have for memories. I rarely wear it but from time to time when its cold I'll wear it. It is unique and special.

I bought this years ago and I thought I liked it, but I never wore it(I still have over half a bottle.)I love the bottle though,very artistic. The fragrance was OK but I liked others better. It smells very heavy on me, very much like incense.

To-jeanol, it's available on the donna Karan Website and at Nordstrom.

Another of my mother's fave, mostly reserved for a night out and full makeup and high heels attitiude. I always admired it although personally i find it a bit too much too fully enjoy it. Still is a good one.It satrts some how with a green juicy rush then it weirdly warms up in a cinnamony sweet, heady ,unusual thing like a deep bronze iridescent peacock feather. A creature delivered from the most fertile fantasy!As for the end of the show a well judged vanilla-cedar combo with a green narcotic fume and the texture of a taupe bias- cut suede dress. A classic although not for me!

Wonderfully sexy, a beautiful fragrance but impossible to find.

very sexy and sultry
