Tokyo Milk Parfumerie Curiosite Awaken Within No. 02 is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016, created by Margot Elena. Tokyo Milk Parfumerie Curiosite's Awaken Within No. 02 carries a Statement verdict, a floral-led wear.

Divisive yet intriguing, this is a clean white floral that swings from bright and fresh to a creamy, almost waxy warmth. Some find it a 'headache inducing' scrubber; others, a nostalgic, clean summer dream. Sample before you commit.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Office Date

Its moderate performance and clean, airy profile make it suitable for casual wear and even office settings, provided it's applied lightly as some find it can be 'suffocating' in small spaces. While some reviews mention it as a good hot weather scent, the creamy dry-down might be too much for high activity.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

About

Awaken Within No. 02 opens with a clean, almost sharp burst of neroli and orange blossom, evoking a bright, citrusy freshness. As it develops, a creamy jasmine emerges, settling into a soft, somewhat soapy floral heart. Hints of 'ozonic' notes try to keep things airy, but a surprising warmth, almost like honey or even a 'waxy' floral, appears in the dry down, adding an unexpected depth.
