Review
This scent is immediately refreshing and appealing. Its style is a fresh and clean Fougere, with a warmer drydown from the Amberwood in the base. With a feel that is less fresh, and with a little more bite, it is a great everyday scent that fits both a casual and a formal feel. It is invigorating and attractive. It is safe for the office, and can be worn in any season, and any time of day. It has been compared to Paco Rabanne Invictus. Try this sample and let us know what you think!
Inspiration
This scent is attuned to the precision of Greenwich Mean Time[8:00 GMT], the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, London. It is a more intense version of the original Awaken, with a bolder feel and sharper edges that make the difference between a casual evening and an evening with a purpose.
Notes
This scent opens with the bright citruses of Mandarin, Bergamot and Grapefruit. The heart is made up with Black Lavender, Clary Sage, Fir Needle, and Cypress, giving this scent a subtle earthy essence with a clean Fougere style. Amberwood adds warmth with the help of slightly resinous Olibanum. Patchouli and Cedarwood keep the earthy element going, and the Fougere essence thriving.
