Luckyscent Videos: Akro Awake

Today I'm here with a very interesting gourmand fragrance from Akro. Now the concept behind this brand is very interesting. The entire line, each fragrance is supposed to represent a different vice. So there is a chocolate fragrance, there is a cigarette smoke fragrance, and this one is Awake, and it is supposed to be a coffee fragrance.

And there's definitely coffee very prominently in this fragrance. Also listed are Cardamom, Lemon, and Vetiver. But whenever I spray this on my skin, I get an initial burst of coffee, of course. But I also get a maple syrup kind of a sweetness. There is a creaminess to it, almost like you are sitting down on your day off and having a nice big American breakfast. And I also smell some butteriness and some crispness of a nicely made waffle that you've just doused in syrup and butter and have your coffee on the side.

It's really nice and such a cool fragrance to smell. And then in the dry down, the Vetiver that's listed actually really comes through, but the sweetness stays. So that coupled with the Cardamom gives it almost a sweet leatheriness, which sounds a little bit strange, but it definitely works with this fragrance. It's incredibly gorgeous. I would give it a try from Akro.
