Awake by Akro, eau de parfum

The story of Awake

Awake is coffee addiction in a bottle. The aromas drifting from a coffee shop around the corner of a side street, the steam of an espresso rising from a cup, the sudden energy of a strong coffee on waking: Awake captures the evocative scent of a powerful, bitter coffee on a cold London day.

From the very first seconds, Santos coffee unfolds its roasted intensity, heightened by a burst of lemon that underlines its bitterness. Green cardamom then spices up the composition with a vibrant freshness, true to the sensation of freshly ground beans.

In the base, vetiver anchors the fragrance with woody, earthy depth, prolonging the comfort of a piping-hot long black enjoyed on a terrace. Simple, warm and addictive.

Signed by master perfumer Olivier Cresp, Awake is an energising fragrance to be enjoyed with anything but moderation.
