Akro Awake EDP

Description

Awake is Akro's coffee vice: the ritual of that first espresso shot, bottled by perfumer Olivier Cresp as part of the brand's original 2018 collection. Brazilian coffee and Italian lemon open with an energizing jolt, before green cardamom and Haitian vetiver settle it into a warm, grounded gourmand.

Scent Character

• Woody: 26%
• Sweet: 26%
• Spicy: 25%
• Fresh: 23%

Translation: an evenly balanced spicy-woody gourmand. Coffee and cardamom carry most of the character, without tipping fully sweet or fully fresh.
