What does Awake smell like?

It opens with coffee and lemon together: the roasted, slightly sweet side of the coffee is lifted by the freshness of the citrus. In the heart, green cardamom adds a spicy, green note, and vetiver lays a dry, woody base. Citrus, green and sweet lead the accords, while the gourmand and creamy facets stay in the background.

Longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick fall and winter, followed by spring; few choose summer. It is mostly suggested for leisure and evening, and it also works at the office. Votes for masculine and feminine are close, so it sits comfortably on either. The Dua Brand Morning Coffee and Xerjoff Naxos have a close profile.
