Which Should You Buy?
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.
This one's a cult classic, a proper 'if you know, you know' kind of scent. Discontinued years ago, it's now hunted down by those who miss its unique, sophisticated-but-edgy vibe. Performance was always a sticking point, but the scent itself? Pure magic for many.
