    Real talk

    This is not a subtle fragrance. The coffee note is unapologetic from the first spray, which is exactly the point. If you want a polite morning scent, look elsewhere.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
