Awake

Discover Awake, the house of Akro's ode to coffee. This eau de parfum captures the espresso addiction: its roasted, burning and comforting intensity, like an olfactory wake-up on a cool London day.

A roasted, energising sillage

Created by master perfumer Olivier Cresp, Awake opens on an intense Santos coffee, lifted by a dash of lemon that awakens its bitterness. The heart unfolds the spicy freshness of green cardamom, like a freshly ground bean. In the base, vetiver sets a woody, earthy foundation that extends the sillage, cup after cup.

Expert tip

Awake is a unisex eau de parfum, gourmand and addictive, ideal in the daytime as a shot of energy — from the office to the street. It lends itself readily to layering with a vanilla or a musk.
