Scent Description:
Awake opens with a rich, dark roasted coffee scent bolstered by a sharp splash of lemon that adds brightness to the bitter brew. As it develops, green cardamom brings in spicy warmth and complexity, cutting through the sweetness and accentuating the aromatic profile. In the dry-down, vetiver emerges, giving an earthy, slightly smoky base that balances the gourmand coffee and spice notes. The result is a cozy, full-bodied coffee fragrance with enough nuance so it doesn’t become one-dimensional.

Gives the impression of Turkish coffee being served in a trendy cafe at the art gallery, while somebody is baking a lemon cake in the background… Really inviting and cosy. Impeccably blended so that it’s not overly sweet or gourmand.
Much like @jazzymood87 above – I also layer this scent – but often with unexpected pairings!!

One of the best Coffee fragrances! Great standalone also great for layering. Best Layer combo is with Bake by Akro. Sillage is not very strong. Medium Longevity. A warm autumn winter gourmand scent
