In plain words

The main accords of DKNY My NY are sweet and fruity. It opens with Raspberry and Pink Pepper, reveals Egyptian Jasmine and Freesia at its heart, and dries down to Patchouli and Vanilla Absolute. It lasts a moderate time and projects moderately; people reach for it in spring and autumn, mostly by day.
