DKNY Women Dupes, Clones, Alternatives & Replacements

DKNY Women is an energizing fruity floral fragrance from the DKNY perfumes collection launched in 1999. This is a fragrance made to capture the electricity and energy of New York City. it gives you a confidence boost as well as a sensual energy to go with it. This perfume is meant to evoke the New York attitude with an iconic presence.

The fragrance starts with a conventional mix of floral and citrus notes with vodka, the tomato and mandarin orange scents are not far behind. While an intoxicating dewy floral scent blends in with the top notes, it settles quietly to a woody musk scent of Birch and Sandalwood.

DKNY Women may have perfumes with similar scents, but remain unique in its right and won’t bore you to tears. It is perfect for cold weather. There is however the question of how long it can last. While some DKNY Women last longer for some people it doesn’t for others and the sillage is not strong.

Donna Karan Women Energizing Donna Karan was launched in 2011 as an Eau de toilette version of the 1999 Eau de parfum’s dkny Women. With very similar notes to its predecessor, Donna Karan Women Energizing gives the same very chill and relaxing fragrance. 

It is refreshing with a zing of citrus and other prominent scents like vodka, birch, and woodsy notes. The floral scent is also detectable at the heart of the fragrance as well. 

Although it has more toned-down scent accords compared to the original, it is however a reminder of a New York City. it has moderate sillage and less longevity than DKNY Women. I should also mention that DKNY women and Donna Karan Women Energizing have very identical bottles, just so you know which you are buying.
