AWAKE by Akro captures the irresistible aroma of freshly brewed coffee, transforming the familiar ritual of a morning espresso into a bold, sophisticated fragrance. Created by master perfumer Olivier Cresp, this distinctive Eau de Parfum draws inspiration from the comforting atmosphere of a coffee shop on a chilly day. Rich Santos coffee takes center stage with its deep, roasted character, while bright lemon introduces a refreshing citrus contrast that keeps the composition lively and invigorating.
Green cardamom adds an aromatic spiciness that complements the coffee's natural bitterness, while vetiver provides an earthy, woody foundation with a refined, slightly smoky character. Rather than relying on sugary sweetness, AWAKE celebrates the richness and complexity of coffee itself, balancing roasted warmth with fresh citrus and subtle spice. The result is an inviting gourmand fragrance that feels both energizing and comforting, perfect for anyone who appreciates the unmistakable aroma of a freshly prepared espresso.

Akro Fragrances
The story of Akro is the story of a family; of a dynasty that spans from the earliest days of the perfume industry in Grasse to the cutting edge artform of today.
It all started a few years back, when founder Anaïs Cresp was living in London and learning about the world. Working in the pubs and bars of the vibrant and diverse area of Ladbroke Grove, she became enraptured by the scents around her; by the flower stalls, coffee houses, charcoal grills, by the whiskey and leather of the grand old Irish pubs and the inescapable haze of weed in the air.
After a long, lost summer of indulging in everything the city had to offer, Anaïs hit on an idea; that these distinctive aromas could be bottled and turned into fragrances. Perhaps, instead of just fruits and flowers, you could wear your favourite vice on your skin.
Gourmand
Gourmand fragrances are inspired by delicious, dessert-like notes and the comforting warmth of familiar indulgences. They often blend vanilla, fruit, spice, caramel, chocolate, nuts, or creamy accords into scents that feel cozy, playful, decadent, or elegant. Sweet without always being simple, the best gourmands feel memorable, refined, and hard to resist.
