Awake Akro 2018

This is quite strong on initial placement, and had an almost soapy top note on me. As the day progressed, however, it warmed to a hearty hazelnut coffee scent that reminds me most strongly of the standing carafes at a nice hotel breakfast - a tiny bit burnt but filled with excitement. It lasted the whole day, about 16 hours, and became a fairly subtle almost caramel scent at the end. I never got any clear lemon or citrus element, but the spice of cardamom is present if a bit artificial throughout.
