Awaken

I finally got it after having a little sample of it since last year. Really inoffensive and also has a bubblegum nuance to it. Has a balsamic note that becomes really apparent after sweating so note that if you don't like that kind of scent. It is quite a juvenile smelling fragrance but it is very clean--I think it could be dressed up or down and still work. While it smells wonderful to me, it doesn't last as long as the EDP might suggest; it sits quite close to the skin and morphs into a skin scent after 3 hours and stays for another 3 or so before it's gone. I would recommend spraying it liberally for better performance and honestly it isn't that bad if you do because of how clean this scent is. Retail price is absolutely not worth it but I found it at Burlington for $32 so if you're able to find it at discount, then it'd be a fine purchase.

The tread is fixated on where you bought your item. That is not what this fora is for. Let the audience benefit from your acumen on the use of the fragrance and not guttural rubbish. Tumi Awaken is a very sophisticated scent. It does not ask for praise, because it is a gem. I have YSL Y Live and I cannot tell the difference. Eventually, Awaken, could get discontinued and the tread will regurgitate, why it is a gem. Enough, with the hypocrisy. If you have nothing to write, then don't write. So called perfume powerhouses are churning out fragrances that cost less than $8 a bottle to manufacture and the ignorami are singing praises of their overpriced scented water.

Not sure why there's so much hate for this frag. It smells great! It doesn't smell like Invictus but it is a moderately sweet frag that's citrusy and woody. I get about 6 to 7 hrs out of it. I will say the only problem with this fragrance is the price. It's way too expensive for what it is. It's a great designer that treads in lower end niche pricing and most niche are overpriced as well. I like the Distilled version too but that's even more overpriced than this one. Both are great, get too much hate but the only criticism I have is price. I got a 3pc set 3.4oz, 1oz travel and body wash for $70. That's where these should be priced. Good stuff though.

love the smell, the bergamot at the opening and the cedar at the base both pop. it's indeed a more refined version of ysl/fierce and i do prefer it as it has less overpowering elements. unfortunately, i found the performance really disappointing. after around 4 hours i had to really search for it on my skin and silliage is not very good from the beginning, either. i think it comes down to skin types. i hope tumi figures this out since it's definitely one i would pick up a full bottle of if it weren't for the performance.

Got beyond lucky and got this as well as Atlas at Burlington for 25 Each!!! Tbh love it it’s fresh and easily added to my “ idk days” On me it’s comes off like a piney Sauvage with an Ambroxan bomb Lasts about 6-8 on skin for me I used to have Mountblanc legend blue and was thinking about getting Wake up World but this perfectly fills my spot for an Ambroxan blue I saw people talking about it being a weak scent Idk about that On the packaging mine says 2023 and it’s 2026 rn Not sure if that plays a role 8.7/10

I think this is a great freshie. Like people are saying in the "smells like" section, it is in the same family as YSL Y and fragrances of the like. I'm not sure about anyone else, but this one's lasts a long time, especially compared to other fresh-style scents. Lasts forever on your clothes. It isn't anything super niche, but I got this for a deal and I'd buy it again in a heartbeat, no questions.

I personally think this is a wonderful outing from tumi in my opinion I can't get enough of it and definitely is full bottle worthy I don't think it's a clone of ysl y similar yes but by no means a clone but that's just my personal opinion and it's a must have at least for me got a full bottle on the way after going thru two samples.

AWAKEN is an excellent fragrance. Begins energetically, fresh, and sweet, but not so much so that it is overwhelming. Becomes more woody and complex during the day. Drydown is comforting and has subtle earthy notes. Overall, this is probably my favorite fragrance I have ever worn!

Had a sample of this about a year back. Wore it to the dentist and they loved it. Super fresh scent very easy to wear and very mass appealing. Can't wait to get my hands on it. only downside is it didn't last too long, so def a cologne you would need to spray a lot.

There isn't a lot of stuff i like but this right here!! It's just intoxicating to me. You feel bold and confident wearing this. It's assuring and just smells amazing! I really can't believe I like this fragrance this much.

I got this as a gift and man this is good, it really gives me the aromatic and citrus notes. Reminds me of a more a humid summer day with a cool overdraft. Overall love this and would recommend.

I like this perfume it makes you awake as described from the name and at a good value it wasn't available in my country but I shipped it and it's worth the shipment

No complaints especially for 30$. Honestly a 10/10 . One of my favorites in my collection along with Imagination, gentle fluidity silver and Bal D’Afrique Absolu .

i know exactly which ysl it smells like ysl y live holy shit smells the samee no bs i have a bottle of ysl y live and awaken identical on opening

very strong citrus right off the bat that delightfully surprised me with woody notes further in, doesn't last as long as I would like though

My favorite fragrance right now. The dry down is great! I have no issues with longevity. I highly recommend this fragrance!

My only question is how does HJN know what old man balls smell like? 🤔

I love this fragrance. Perfect scent for those high heat days.

I got some carded sample vials from my local Boscov's, one of which contained Tumi's Awaken and Unwind. I'll write a review on Unwind after I wear it tonight. This fragrance is pretty similar to YSL EdT. Similar, not identical through .Think of it as a Y with a twist. The opening is very similar, but after 5 of so minutes, it slowly starts to diverge. The grapefruit bergamot combo in Awaken is a bit zingier than the citrus in Y EdT, and the absence of mint makes the citrus stand out more. The sage and cedar combo that is in Y is very similar to Awaken, giving it a good freshness, but as Awaken doesn't have any musk, apple, or violet leaf, there isn't the same depth and complexity that one may find in Y (which isn't necessarily a bad thing). Personally, I like that this goes in a different direction to Y EdT. I like Y EdP much more than the EdT, so I don't reach for the EdT all that often. But, since this is a bit different, I can appreciate it some more as its own thing. Performance is pretty brutal though. Doesn't have much of anything left after 4 hours. Also, I love the idea of there being a daytime/nighttime fragrance pairing from a single house. I think more houses should follow up on this concept. I like that Awaken and Unwind are different, but I think the day/night combo concept from one house could be improved if they kept a similar DNA in both scents, but tweaked only some of the nuances between the two, letting the scents harmonize on your skin and clothes between morning and night.. As somebody mentioned in a review over on the Unwind page, it's a brutal time for Tumi to release a "business traveler" oriented cologne set, but hopefully they keep offering it once travel goes back to normal. I can't see anybody on a plane getting bothered by this scent, It doesn't project across the room, which would be a nightmare on a long flight. But it keeps you and those around you feeling bright and refreshed. I think the price for these scents are too high. $100 for 100 ml is standard, but I would only really feel comfortable dropping $100 if I could get 100 ml of both Awaken and Unwind. Tumi is a luxury brand after all, so I understand their pricing. But compared to what other scents one can get for $100, this is not a competitive price.

This is a pretty good fragrance. I see alot of people comparing this to YSL Y line and I can kinda see it but in the opening only. More the YSL edt then the YSL edp opening but after the opening this starts going in it's own direction. It's definitely a great scent for work. What I really like what Tumi did was how they made a morning scent and nighttime scent that actually smells good layered so it's not like you have to wash the morning scent off just to put the nighttime scent on to go out. Great concept that I wish other fragrance houses did themselves. Longevity is decent but like usual with anything I buy to wear to work I would like it to be around the 8 hour mark before it wears off. This hits around 5 to 6 hour mark before it's gone and maybe an hour more if sprayed on clothes. The sillage is around arms length. This is a very inoffensive fragrance that has garnered me a few compliments at work. Not many people know about Tumi fragrances and even less people wear this so this is something nice to wear if you dont want to smell like alot of other men. It's worth sampling for sure. Now this is the only negative I have to say about this and it regards the price. Is it worth $100 for a $100mL, yes but there is so many other fragrances that is better for that price and if they lowered the price to let's say $125 for 75mL of Awaken and 75mL of Unwind as a combo package I would say it's an easy buy but until then it's a lil hard to pay Dior and Chanel type money on this.
