DKNY Men (original) (2000)
by Donna Karan

I bought it in 2003 thinking it was good, and I liked it.
Recently I have smelled it again and...oh my! What's that chemical juice??
Our taste in perfumes evolve and get more refined over years expecially if you get training with real quality scents.

I got this when it first came out. Quite a multitude of notes in this one its difficult to tell what they are and smells a bit feminine. There is citrus,soapy,spice,florals,woods and all sorts. Also despite being kept in a dark cupboard I think my bottle has gone off as smells sour and flat, so stopped wearing it. Same thing happened to my polo sport.

Blah! Argh! A real mess. After around 30 minutes, it smells like a bad chemical cleaner on my skin. My first thought was that the tester they´ve used had some problem. I´ve returned to the store and asked to a spritz from a different bottle. Same thing. Believe me, it is incredible how this smells so bad.

It's fresh, it's sharpish, it's long lasting and, to me, it smells quite classy and opulent - a notch above other well made fresh scents with a bit of citrus in them.

Smells like a raspberry lemon ice. I also get fresh cotton notes and the most unusual red maple. It's too bad the bottle was so cumbersome and awkward-- great fragrance otherwise. Still, the frosted grey sides of the bottle do convey accurately the feel of this scent. I always thought there was something "off" about this one-- in a good way. It never gets mentioned much these days and it's discontinued. I still reach for it on occasion.

I absolutely love this brew. Oddly, I agree with some of the negative comments I've read; there is a chemical undertone to it. However, there is one note in this that stands out (ivy leaf?), and imbues the fragrance with an exotic air that I've never found in any other scent. I cannot figure out what it is. I realize this is a completely subjective appeal, so I would never recommend a blind purchase of DKNY. The bottle is tall and elegant, but impractical.
