Wake Up World

This is best described as mystery meets mastery. Have we all been asleep for the past two years? At times a nightmare, other times surreal but most of the time praying for a better tomorrow; and dreaming about a brighter future. Understanding that change is inevitable and this too shall pass. Well, This scent is more symbolic and nostalgic than it’s name would suggest. This master perfumer made scents that were massive hits three decades ago, He made them for other brands and with less sophisticated materials and many times mostly chemicals. So when this scent was modernized and updated for his own brand - it was more than improved, it transitioned into something special, a modern masterpiece; one with a proven scent dna, I suppose mass appealing but no less sublime. It is sweet, smooth, and best described as a Amber Fougere. It is both warm and bright. But one, that isn’t grounded in the base of oak moss like Mousee Uliminae by Rogue(also a masterpiece). This scent Mr. Almairac shopped the world and constantly re-forumulated until the scent we wake up to is perfected. It is the past and the future in a bottle. Since ingredients become more expensive and more rare, blending or even breaking the lines in Scent boxes while still showing a familiarity may become the norm. This gem, is both light and dark as the bottle would suggest and the hidden golden juice will reveal. It will change with the weather and is the rare amber that is appropriate for all seasons. I am not sure why it is so underrated, or even why this house doesn’t get the love it deserves? It is almost like the name of this scent isn’t just symbolic - it is an announcement. Don't sleep on this. The future has a way of arriving unannounced. - 4.46/5

Got a sample of this from Luckyscent with my last order, now that I've worn it a few times I'm getting a full bottle. It does remind me of the original Minoutare and Roma Uomo (Dunhill Desire too) but less sweet, high pitched, smells a little more grounded and natural. It's exactly the sort of fragrance I've been looking for. I'm about to be middle aged, and I've been looking for a fragrance that balances sweetness and fruity notes without feeling like I'm wearing something aiming for the 20something fuck boy market. This is perfect. I get a sort of vague Dole fruit cup fruitiness, soft amber and tonka with a ghost of a rose note. It's more of a vibe/aura than individual notes. Performance is monstrous which is shocking by today's standards. Normally I get two wears out of a Luckyscent sample, I'm on my fourth one today. It lasts all day, it projects, and it smells sweet and inviting without being immature. Price is sort of the the Achilles heal, I could get three bottles of the the aforementioned frags for less than a full bottle of this. But for me it's better than those three and fills a need I've had for a while so I'll be getting a full bottle. If you're a little older and feel like Eros isn't your style, try this out!

Upon first sniff I was dissapointed. I let it settle and was pleasantly surprised with how it transitioned into the middle notes. I was transported back to when I was 16/17 years old and in love. I didn't wear minatour back then, I know that because I was poor. However, I think this reminds me a of a deodorant I wore back then, or something my gf at the time was wearing. I was unsure about it for a while, until a few days later when I was riding my e-bike, I thought I could smell something really sexy and eventually after a few rides I realised the smell of WUW was stuck in the strap of my helmet. So I tried the sample a few more times and fell in love all over again. Anyway.....The vanilla in this is basically icecream. The other notes in the bass are so perfectly blended it's impressive and you can see how each note adds it's own piece of magic. I really like this, it's sweet, sexy, fresh and thick like something you could spread on toast and eat, like there is noone watching. If you sample it then be patient and get a larger sample. Top 3 favourites from this brand. Really lovely.

Wake Up World by Parle Moi de Parfum is another excellent offering from the house of Parle Moi de Parfum. There’s something about this fragrance that reminds me of the style of men’s colognes from the 1990s, yet it still manages to feel modern at the same time. In particular, I notice a strong resemblance to Minotaure by Paloma Picasso, which makes sense considering both fragrances were created by the same perfumer, Michel Almairac. The freshness here is elegant but not citrus-driven. Instead, there’s a cool, almost cold quality in the opening that contrasts beautifully with the warmer base notes. That balance between cool freshness and underlying warmth remains present throughout the entire wear. To my nose it leans slightly masculine, though still refined and versatile enough to be worn comfortably throughout the year. A very polished and distinctive fragrance overall. Scent: 8.5/10 | Longevity: 7.5/10 | Projection: 7/10 | Overall: 8.5/10

First time smelled this scent was a quick reminder of the Sculpture Homme, actually it was a riminder of my firend who had used it a lot back in days... Similarity with Sculpture is more than obvious, but "Wake up" is much better in therms of refinement. I would not like to cut this pefrume on parts and ingredients, because the blend as that is PERFECT, fresh, moderately sweet, sophisticated, VERY likable, performances is also pretty good, versability is 10 out of 10. "Parle moi de Parfum" was the only one boutique which i was visiting more than once during my stay in Paris for a 10 days... i I really like the story behind this house and their relationship with customers. Think, this house deserves all the praise, and if you're ever in Paris, take 15 minutes to visit this perfumery in Le Marais, cuz it's like visiting a small museum of perfumery. Wishing all the best for Parle Moi team, and good luck in future work.
