LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it and can't find it anywhere. Donna Karen has a signature fragrance but doesn't really smell the same. If anyone finds it please let me know. I found one bottle on line for $325.00 but thought that was really stretching it. Have empty bottles but really want the perfume! Why did they stop making it????
Came for the lilies and incense, bizarre original Stephan Weiss-designed sculptural flacon, and a rumored favorable comparison to Daim Blond. Staying for the crisp and strong sillage, remarkable tenacity, a certain gasoline and cleaning products hypermodern slant. An androgynous, intellectual but soft composition that samples from the best of all genres to bring in fruit, woods, florals, suede, and resins in thoughtful, serious united structures like elegant code leading to electronic music. Almost chilling in its contemplative remove but with a hint of just enough warmth to be human.
Very beautiful sexy and classic the same time. Wonderful sillage and good longevity plus it doesn't smell as a floral fragrance on my skin. Smoky suede which gets softer (amber, benzoin and patchouli) after the opening. Best for fall or winter. Superb!
how much is this perfume worth now if you can find it.... anyone knows???
i found a 3.4 EDP of this today at my local red white and blue for $13.95 i could've screamed to the Fragrance Fairies... Thanku when i was young n dumb i hated and abused this fragrance and now the my perfume senses have matured i longed for this and now i own it once again... thanks Red White & Blue
I have this but I don't really like it that much, so I will be happy to give it away. If interested, PM me.
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 .
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.
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.
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
