Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Awake EDP
Awake is a proper marmite scent - you'll either love its intensely realistic coffee hit or find it disgustingly cloying. There's no middle ground here, so brace yourself for a potent, divisive experience.
Statement
Our Verdict - Date EDP
Divisive, generic for some, yet a beast mode compliment-getter for others. If you can get it for a steal, this 'Ultra Male' adjacent scent might just be your next signature. Just be warned, it's not subtle.

Season and Occasion Fit

Awake

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Occasions

Best For:
Casual
Also Works:
Date

Its potent projection, as noted by many, makes it a bit much for a quiet office, but it shines in casual settings. The unique, gourmand yet unsweetened profile makes it an interesting choice for dates, if you're looking for something edgy.

Date

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Summer

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual

Its potent projection and long-lasting nature make it less suitable for office environments or intense sport. However, the mass-appealing sweet and spicy blend, frequently cited as a 'compliment beast', makes it perfect for dates and evening casual outings, though perhaps a bit too loud for formal events.
