The story behind the bottle.
Calice Becker crafted DKNY Energy for Women as a vibrant floral fragrance that captures the essence of modern femininity. The composition opens with a burst of citrus and green accords, creating an immediate sense of freshness and energy. As it evolves, yellow florals and white florals blend together, adding layers of sweetness and softness. A powdery base brings warmth and comfort, rounding out the scent into a harmonious whole.
Apply this fragrance to pulse points for a warm embrace throughout the day. The citrus opening is bright but fleeting, so it's best to layer it in layers or reapply lightly during the day to maintain its vibrancy.
