The story behind the bottle.
Energizing Fragrance by Shiseido, launched in 1999 and crafted by Claudette Belnavis, balances the freshness of spicy top notes with a warm and powdery base. The composition opens with pepper and anise, creating a sharp contrast that energizes the senses before transitioning into a heart filled with lily-of-the-valley, jasmine, and heliotrope. These floral accords are soft yet distinct, leading seamlessly to a musky and woody drydown. This fragrance is a proof of Shiseido's legacy of blending traditional elegance with contemporary freshness.
Apply Energizing Fragrance in layers for a more pronounced effect — the spicy top notes are fleeting but impactful. The musky base lasts longer, so one or two sprays to the wrists and neck should suffice throughout the day.
