I have never been able to stand personal fragrances that were strong, overly-sweet, or that made me smell like fruit or vegetables. I prefer lighter, more delicate, subtle scents, and Shiseido's Energizing Fragrance meets all of my requirements.

I discovered it about a year ago in a department store after having learned that my previous fragrance had been discontinued. I was actually drawn to the Shiseido counter because it was new in our town and I had never heard of it; I sprayed some of the tester bottle onto my wrist and knew instantaneously that I had found the fragrance that would replace that which had been discontinued.

I find the retail price to be reasonable at around $40.00 for 3.3 oz; my previous scent had run $75.00 for the same amount, so I was delighted to have found a less expensive fragrance.

I have received numerous compliments from strangers when wearing this fragrance because of it's clean, fresh, delicate nature; my husband likes it, as well, because he, too, does not like strong or sweet perfumes on women. And it is, indeed, a nice energizing fragrance first thing after my morning shower, or late in the afternoon when we're growing weary but getting ready to go out.

While the scent is light, it rarely needs to be reapplied during the day, therefore one bottle will last for months on end. I have had the same 3.3 oz. bottle for nearly a year and have only used 3/4 of the contents.
