You did well. And now do another one.
I am probably what one would call a sports avoider. I do exercise regularly because I have back problems, but that’s about it. Admittedly, I do notice that it does me good, but enthusiasm just doesn’t come.
I have also taken classes at the gym, but that is not my world at all. I am already clumsy by nature, and I always feel like a big teddy bear trying to imitate a cat. And then there are those huge mirrors where you can see how you make a fool of yourself. And speaking of which, I’ve heard of those so-called happiness hormones. I emphasize, I have only heard.

What does this have to do with DKNY Energizing? It is now my sports fragrance, so to speak. I found it rather by chance. I was out in the city, and it was on sale. So, I tested it.
It is so completely different from the fragrances I know. Not really floral, not really fruity, not sweet. Once I got home, I had to read up on the scent notes. I admit, I can’t recognize them all. For me, vodka and tomato leaf definitely stand out. The citrus notes make it even fresher. Notes like orchid and daffodil I can really only sense on the periphery.

There isn’t really a scent progression for me. Longevity and sillage are also rather mediocre. Still, it delivers what it promises. DKNY refreshes me before, during, and after, and gives me a little kick. It never annoys me. When I already feel disgusting and sticky, I don’t need a heavy fragrance on top of that.

For me, DKNY Energizing is truly the perfect sports fragrance. It doesn’t turn me into a sports fanatic, but it certainly makes exercising more pleasant.

If you would excuse me now. I still have to do a few push-ups.

Vodka-Lemon in the Laundry Room
DKNY Energizing Woman is one of the fragrances that leans towards the "fresh laundry scent." Emphasis on FRESH laundry! Not a cotton cuddle scent. Grapefruit and lemon are very dominant. My cats literally flee when they see the bottle (cats hate anything citrus). What I find very interesting is the vodka note. If I didn't know this perfume, I wouldn't have believed that vodka could be used as a fragrance note. Whisky or gin, sure, but vodka really doesn't have a characteristic note! This perfume has taught me otherwise! I can clearly smell the vodka, and in combination with the citrus, it strongly reminds me of the drink "Vodka-Lemon."

I really like the scent in summer. It is so clear and refreshing. Even when I've had too little sleep, the fresh scent helps me start the day with a somewhat clear head.

Ice Rain
I love this scent. It is so fresh, clear, and cold.
My spontaneous association with the fragrance is an ice bath in Finnish Lapland, followed by a nice glass of vodka.

I find it very wintry. Not in the sense of cozy, warm lounging by the fireplace, but rather hiking outside in ice and snow and experiencing a winter landscape. To me, snow smells just like this perfume, and I am already looking forward to having an absolute freshness kick for the summer that transports me back to the icy landscapes.

The strong citrus note will certainly not appeal to everyone, and it does not evolve; rather, it maintains its scent from start to finish. However, it lasts a long time. I could still smell it on myself after 24 hours. For me, it is simply one of my No. 1 fragrances.

The Tipsy Giant Tomato
Saturday early evening in the kitchen of an event venue. The preparations for a trendy birthday party are in full swing. Busy activity, hectic hustle. Just one hour until the big celebration, time is running out. Every move has to be precise, otherwise everyone is in each other's way.

And yet, a little mishap occurs. On the way to the kitchen, past the bar, a giant tomato rolls off the pallet. Unnoticed. It lands directly in one of the prepared party buckets, full of vodka lemon.

Braked by a straw, it floats towards the bottom of the bucket. It lingers there for a brief moment of shock. It's boring down there. This can't be it...
Carefully, it starts to move and takes its rounds. With each lap in the vodka lemon bucket, the giant tomato gets more and more tipsy. Good vibrations.
The straws bounce away whenever it bumps into them. Ha, gotcha!
And another round. The lemon slices dance around it.
It has more energy than ever before. It's having the time of its life.

HICCUP.

PS. Be careful when driving past police checkpoints! If you're asked to take a breathalyzer test, even though you've only had water and coffee, it's the perfume's fault.

Delightfully Fresh
like...vodka with carbonation...ice cold... along with a distinct scent of tomato leaves... astonishing and delicious. Unfortunately, the fragrance even combined with a full-body application of matching body lotion feels like water on me = after half an hour, the scent is gone. It must be my skin. What a pity. But otherwise... respect. Perfect for hot summers.

With this scent, I feel fresh, dynamic, clean, and highly competent. It's like a crisp, freshly ironed white blouse. H+S top.

I won't let you go. Metallic freshness with green tomato leaf on vodka. A bit of citrus and artificial aquatic...

Lemon-yellow pool water,

metallic alcohol.
Unique scent, just not for me.

It smells like the very early 2000s! Energizing hits the mark, it wakes up more tired synapses than Red Bull. Androgynous, edgy, clean.

A classic fresh scent with a bitter side, absolutely unisex; the surroundings seem confused, such women's fragrances are hardly common today...

The only bold scent I like so far. Great for hot, humid days.

As a citrus fan, I now understand what opponents mean by "toilet cleaner." As a wine comparison: Riesling from a shaded area, 0.0 residual sugar, enormous acidity.

Herb, cool, unusual, refreshing like a cool breeze at 30 degrees. Not mainstream. A hint of citrus in the background. I really like it.

it smells very much like lemon with mint - a bit clinical but fresh.

This is how snow and icicles smell! You can't negotiate with nature, just like you can't negotiate with the lady wearing that scent.
