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 - Citrus Coffee Rush EDP
Perfume Parlour's take on Akro Awake. Citrus Coffee Rush captures the bright lemon-and-cardamom opening into a rich coffee heart, though it leans a touch sweeter and the complex, shifting layers of the niche original simplify here.
