Energizer (2008)
by Boadicea the Victorious

An explosion of citruses (the whole range) lead by a prominent, kinda aromatic, grapefruit note. Bitter green hints trhoguhout appearing on a clean musky/vetiver base. Definitely an unisex summer scent that while it's not particularly outstanding (Hermes Eau D'Orange Verte is a much cheaper alternative), it's well crafted and refined. Good lasting power.

Energizer starts with a nice refreshing blast of grapefruit and eventually fills out to a more 'complete' citrus bouquet. The heart contains some less sour notes, probably cedrat and bergamot in addition to lemon because there are hints of green in the heart. Energizer stays close to the skin but get good longevity for a citrus fragrance.

Pleasant? Sure. But then again, so is Hermes Eau d'Orange Verte, Eau de Guerlain, and even Chanel Allure Homme Sport. There's absolutely nothing that makes this fragrance stand out among the hundreds of other citrus fragrances out there, and in fact Energizer is among the more bland of citrus scents. I'd take the Allure Homme Sport over Energizer any day.

Yet another average entry from Boadicea.
