    Real talk

    This is a vanilla that stays close to the skin. It isn't sweet in an obvious way, there is a powdery, almost clean quality underneath that keeps it from becoming dessert.Vanilla
    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
