Awake

Description

Awake is a coffee fragrance that smells like the drink rather than the dessert. Santos coffee opens it dark and roasted, with Italian lemon cutting straight through the bitterness — the same trick a good espresso plays with a twist of peel. Green cardamom runs through the heart, aromatic and slightly medicinal, keeping the coffee from turning sweet. Haitian vetiver closes it dry and earthy, adding the smell of the room rather than the cup. A short list with no filler, and one of the most wearable coffee scents around.
