What does DKNY Stories (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

It opens with pink guava, pink pepper and black cardamom: juicy fruit with a light touch of spice. In the heart, white tea, jasmine sambac and black iris carry the floral side. Vanilla, Indian sandalwood and ambergris then settle it into a gourmand, creamy base.

Voters rate its longevity and sillage as moderate. They lean towards spring and fall, and pick leisure, daily wear and the office most often. Most find it feminine, though quite a few call it modern. Zadig & Voltaire This Is Her! and Nejma Le Délicieux have a close profile.
