What do reviewers say about Awake and Black Vetyver Cafe?
Coffee fragrances walk a fine line. Too bitter and they're unwearable; too sweet and they stop smelling like coffee. Awake walks it perfectly. The lemon keeps it honest, the cardamom keeps it warm.Awake
The coffee note here is the real deal, plain, unsweetened, no frills. Some want their coffee dressed up. This one isn't for them. It's for the person who orders black and means it.Black Vetyver Cafe
