The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2011, Donna Karan Women Energizing by Donna Karan is a fragrance that embodies the essence of modernity and freshness. This scent opens with a striking combination of citruses and vodka, creating an ozonic and fresh aura that feels invigorating from the first spritz. The heart notes of violet leaf, lotus, narcissus, and orchid add layers of floral complexity, while birch and woody notes in the base ground the composition with warmth and depth. This fragrance is a proof of Donna Karan's legacy of creating pieces that effortlessly transition from day into night.

How to wear it

One to two sprays are sufficient as the ozonic top notes are highly noticeable. This fragrance works well in both daytime and evening settings but shines brightest during the cooler hours when its woody base notes come through more prominently.
