Awaken Within No. 02

Very plain and not promising opening! I am wearing it in a very hot and humid day in London. Half an hour after application this fragrance turns into one of the most creamiest velvety white flower concotion. A bit like modern Fracas. Longevity and sillage outstanding.i am loving it!

The dry down is so different from the beginning that it almost feels warm and balsamic unlike the fresh opening. I know that lots of people like this in summer but it goes well in winter too. Can be suffocating in small spaces even with 2 sprays.

On me the opening and middle notes of this have the feel of a sweet tuberose that I'm in love with. It then slides in a sweet orange note and what I perceive as tuberose begins to fade (I cry a bit here). It's very floral in the beginning & middle, a comfortable floral, not hard to wear. Think a bit like Madonnas Truth or Dare mellowed. The sort of waxy feel some flowers (like jasmine and citrus blossoms) have on the edge of their scent is present. Maybe that's what reminds Nighty Night of wetsuits lol. I've smelled beach wetsuits and can say they smell much much worse than this. I don't think of the beach at all, but I quickly decided I needed a full bottle.

Notes: Jasmine, Orange Blossom, Neroli, Citrus & Sky I'm not usually into florals but I think the notes work really together. I don't know what "sky" is supposed to be, but I will say that it is a very airy fragrance, in that it's very light and non-offensive. I think this is the kind of scent that will smell the same/very similar on most people regardless of body chemistry and natural smell. I'd say it's more of a daytime scent for spring and summer.

Perfect for everyday. It is not too strong. Upon spraying, the jasmine and orange blossom are mostly what I smell. Then I get the clean and soapy scent on me with just a hint of floral. If it stayed strongly floral for a long time, I wouldn’t have liked this fragrance as much. Lasts about 4 hrs on me.
