DKNY Fragrances – A Taste Of New York

by Kenneth Cole Shoes on October 19, 2009

Over the years, Donna Karan has played advocate of comfort and style in her designs. Her work bespeaks the basics of clothing with a touch of class and mystique. She knows what a woman needs and indeed, her fashion house attests to that. The burgeoning label spawned a suite of product lines ranging from women’s clothing, jeanswear, accessories, kids’ apparel and fragrances. But what makes the label click?

In the haute couture segment, Donna Karan is best-known for her wrap dress and tailored bodysuit. She also explored cosmetics which was previously headed by her deceased husband, Stephan Weiss. As for fragrances, Donna Karan offers some of the most popular designer scents in the perfumery today. Her collection encapsulates the contemporary woman’s penchant for simple and classic lines in regards to fashion. On fragrances, it’s a playful mix of the past and the present. The more distinct names include the iconic Be Delicious line, Cashmere Mist, DKNY Gold and the more recent, DKNY Love From New York.

Being a native New Yorker, Donna Karan infused the inherent diversity of the city in each of these fragrances, the most notable of which is Be Delicious. With the Big Apple in mind, this fragrance is all out apples. The notes are a bunch of crisp green apples and the bottle is shaped like an apple, what else?

The Cashmere Mist collection is likened to the ethereal beauty of a woman. It straddles between the  soft floral and woods ensemble to the austere melancholy-inspired mystery of deeper notes. Its beauty is beyond the years and what’s more interesting is how cashmere brings forth an intimate luxurious appeal to the senses.

DKNY Gold is a garden of pure white lily. It’s like one of those designer florals that project itself  even from a distance but in a pleasing kind of way. The mingling of lily, vanilla, spices and woods hold for hours long after the initial application has dissipated. It’s a good thing if you fancy lily-based fragrances.

Love From New York endeavors to capture the energy of falling in love with the Big Apple. According to Marketing Manager Louise Marchesin, “New York is as much a state of mind as it is a destination,” This fragrance aims to encapsulate all the little moments you can’t forget, such as walking hand-in-hand in Central Park, or a late-night ferry ride across the Hudson. It’s all about falling in love in, and with, New York, whether you live there or are just passing through.” Looking at the notes, it’s floral and citrus notes paired with blonde woods and apricot at the base. Hopefully, this fragrance commands as much energy and romance as seen in the ad campaign.
