Our take

Good Energy opens like a tropical smoothie that’s been left out too long in the sun — juicy mandarin and passionfruit burst forward with a sticky, candied urgency, but the sweetness quickly flattens into a synthetic fruit punch haze. The heart is all mango and papaya, pulpy and cloying, with tyger lily adding a faint, almost plastic floral tang that never quite lifts the blend into anything fresh or airy. As it dries down, coconut milk creeps in to soften the edges, but it’s more of a whisper than a creamy embrace, with sandalwood and musk doing little more than dusting the skin with a faint woody powder before vanishing entirely.

This is a fragrance that screams “vacation in a bottle” but forgets to bring the actual vacation. The longevity clocks in at a measly 2.30 out of 5, and the sillage is barely a personal bubble at 2.18 — you’ll be reapplying every hour just to keep the scent alive, and even then it stays close to the skin like a shy party guest who leaves before the music starts. It’s aggressively mainstream in its sweetness, leaning synthetic rather than natural, and the tropical notes feel more like a scented eraser than a ripe fruit basket.

Who should wear it? If you’re a teenager or a young adult who wants a cheap, cheerful spritz for a sunny afternoon at the mall or a picnic with friends, this will do the job without offending anyone. But if you crave depth, projection, or any complexity beyond “fruity and sweet,” skip it — this energy runs on empty and fizzles out before the first hour is up. Wear it in spring or summer, strictly during the day, and bring a travel size for touch-ups.
