    Real talk

    Cardamom isn't a supporting note here. It's the main character, and it stays that way. If you've been burned by fragrances that promise coffee but deliver vanilla.Kawa Karda
    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
