What does Donna Karan Woman smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are rated as moderate, though only a few voters have rated them, so this is a rough guide. It is positioned as a feminine fragrance.

Sandalwood, Haitian vetiver and orange blossom lead the scent. Orange blossom carries the floral side, while sandalwood and vetiver build a dry, woody base. Spicy and chypre accords give it a firm frame, with a slightly synthetic sheen running through it. Guerlain Imagine 2022 and Chloé Love Story Eau Sensuelle have a close profile.
