Donna Karan

What the Donna Karan range is made of

Across the 19 Donna Karan fragrances Zenyra has mapped, the materials that recur most are sandalwood (47%), musk (47%), lily-of-the-valley (47%). No single note dominates, which is itself a choice — this is a house that works across a palette rather than around a signature material.

On Zenyra's five axes the house reads sweeter than the catalogue as a whole: sweetness averages 0.53 against 0.40 across all mapped fragrances. That is a wide margin, and it is the clearest thing the data says about this house.

One idea, or many

The Donna Karan range spreads 0.101 across the five axes — neither a house built on one idea nor one that covers the whole map. There is a recognisable centre with real variation around it.

The median release year across the mapped range is 2014.
