BirchDKNY Energizing
Blood orange and mandarin orange start Donna Karan DKNY Energizing Eau de Parfum, and vodka and tomato leaf arrive underneath them immediately, giving the citrus a cold, green, slightly bitter edge that keeps it from reading as fruit juice. It is a sharp opening, and it sets the character of everything after it. The vodka reads as a cold, almost mineral clarity rather than as alcohol, and the tomato leaf supplies the stalk-green bitterness that keeps the two oranges honest.
Water lily, orchid and daffodil build the heart, a set of cool watery flowers with the daffodil adding a green sharpness and the orchid rounding them out. Birch and tulip tree finish it off, dry and understated, holding everything above them without adding bulk. DKNY Energizing moves from citrus to clean florals to pale wood, and it never loses the lifted quality it starts with; the result is cold and clear rather than rich, and the green thread from the tomato leaf runs through the whole of it.
Donna Karan launched her own label in New York in 1984 after leaving Anne Klein, and added the younger DKNY line in 1988. DKNY Energizing comes from that younger line and dates from 2011. This eau de parfum is the 100ml spray, which is the full-size bottle of the scent and the strongest form of it in the range.
