Awaken
by TUMI
TUMI Awaken is a bright, clean, and moderately fresh masculine fragrance with a citrus-forward opening dominated by bergamot, grapefruit, and coriander, complemented by aromatic green notes of clary sage and fir. As it develops, a subtle sugary sweetness emerges, underpinned by woody base notes of cedar, olibanum, and patchouli. The dry down retains a soft, clean character with a hint of warmth and earthiness, giving it a smooth and approachable profile. It performs best in spring and summer, especially during daytime hours, and is well-suited for work, casual outings, and gym wear. While the sillage is modest and longevity is moderate—lasting around 5–6 hours on skin—it projects well enough to be noticeable at arm's length during the day. Overall, it’s a pleasant, reliable fragrance that aligns closely with classic
