Akro Awake is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2018, created by Olivier Cresp. Awake opens with Lemon and Coffee, settles into a heart of Cardamom, and dries down to a base of Vetiver. Akro's Awake carries a Statement verdict, a warm spicy-led wear.

Awake is a proper marmite scent - you'll either love its intensely realistic coffee hit or find it disgustingly cloying. There's no middle ground here, so brace yourself for a potent, divisive experience.

About

Imagine a rich, dark espresso, with a subtle zest of lemon playfully cutting through the bitterness. As it settles, warm, aromatic cardamom infuses the brew, adding a spiced complexity that evolves into an earthy vetiver grounding. This is a robust, unsweetened coffee experience, with spicy and woody undertones.
