Our verdict on Awake: Statement

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.

About

Imagine a rich, dark espresso, with a subtle zest of lemon playfully cutting through the bitterness. As it settles, warm, aromatic cardamom infuses the brew, adding a spiced complexity that evolves into an earthy vetiver grounding. This is a robust, unsweetened coffee experience, with spicy and woody undertones.
