Description
Awake by Akro is a Citrus Gourmand fragrance for women and men. This is a new fragrance. Awake was launched in 2018. The nose behind this fragrance is Olivier Cresp.
The opening jolts you awake, like a loved one passing a freshly brewed espresso in front of your nose as you begin to nod off. Hot, black, intense roasted bean with the burnt edge of wood crackling in the grate. The green bite of cardamom giving it a tart edge. Awake’s darkness is tantalizingly profound, but the perfumer has thoughtfully slipped a nugget of toasted hazelnut in with the coffee to buffer it from any sharpness or acidity.
Awake manages that compromise between sharp and sweet so smoothly that you begin to imagine it’s easy – but make no mistake, it is the experienced hand of Cresp that keeps the scent on an even keel. The dance of coffee, hazelnut, and toasted wood ebbs and flows through the scent like a steady pulse, before sweetening slightly, finishing out in a remarkably textured rendition of those crunchy coffee candies in the checkout aisle of Italian grocery stores. Not sweet, not particularly gourmand, and yet, also not bitter or grainy in that way that coffee scents can be, Awake is the happy medium of coffee scents.

Important info: Here, we sell decants only. Akro Awake fragrance sample is a hand-decanted perfume sample from the original licensed design house fragrance. The original bottle on the main picture is not for sale, it just shows the original bottle from which perfume will be decanted. Therefore, the customer will receive the authentic fragrance poured from the original bottle into a new sterile vial.
Fragrancesline specializes in providing meticulously prepared decants and samples from an extensive portfolio of fine fragrances. Our process ensures the integrity of each scent, as it is expertly transferred from the original flacon to a new, sterile glass atomizer. This service offers our clientele the opportunity to thoroughly trial a fragrance before committing to a full-size purchase, ensuring a confident and informed selection of their signature scent.
To help you explore our collection, we offer sample sizes of 1ml, 2ml, 5ml, 8ml and 10ml. The appearance of the bottles pictured above may vary slightly from the ones we are currently using for decanting; however, we guarantee that the volumes will always be as stated.
Please Note: Unlike our 2ml, 5ml, 8ml and 10ml bottles, our 1ml samples do not come with a spray. Instead, they are equipped with a small dabber wand for a more delicate application to the skin.
