Awake by Akro is a Citrus Gourmand fragrance for Women and Men.

Awake captures the intense energy and passion for coffee through a perfect blend of coffee beans and cardamom. The bitter, crisp aroma of Santos coffee paired with green cardamom instantly ignites the senses, while a refreshing zest of Italian lemon uplifts the composition. As the fragrance evolves, it gently transitions into a crisp foundation dominated by the earthy richness of Haitian vetiver.

Awake is an invigorating scent, designed to energize and awaken your spirit.

Photorealistic freshly brewed coffee

This is as real as it can get, when it comes to coffee scents. The initial citrus notes almost evoke the feeling of a freshly brewed pot of sour coffee (think Ethiopia-origin coffee beans). This is not a latte scent, no milk or sweetness here at all, no sir. Pure coffee.

Unfortunately, 1-2 hours into wearing, it becomes sweet, almost like a toffee-coffee scent, with notes of vanilla. So if you're looking for a coffee latte scent, this is probably thee best of both worlds. I would buy a full bottle if it lasted longer than 3 hours on my skin, but for now I'm enjoying starting my days with this.

Maybe coffee fragrances are not for me. At first it smells scratchy to me, like an old coffee stain with lemon. After about an hour I like the dry-down. More gentle lemon and less scratchy, with a bit of coffee.

Realistic sweet coffee

I do not typically gravitate toward gourmand fragrances but I absolutely love the smell of coffee. When I wear this at work, it gives me the same comfort as holding a warm mug to drink. It’s fairly strong so I would not recommend over- spraying it. Nice for fall and winter.

A favorite from the bunch I got!

The first notes are a strong coffee / espresso scent, but it's also lemony. Like if you decided to add some lemon to your black coffee, sounds odd but the smell is amazing! I'm considering getting a full size. Only disappointing thing is that after several hours, I couldn't smell it on me anymore.

Grate gourmand coffee scent, smells like a coffee shop a espresso just made. A few minutes after the opening you have all the coffee in your nose. Doesn't change untill the 5 hour that in turns close to you and change to a sweet coffee like toffee.
It's similar to Theodor kalotinis coffee addict but it's crespear because the lemon (bergamot), it's brighter in the first hours, than it's similar to coffee addict.
You can't go wrong whether you choose.

Realistic roasted coffee in a coffee shop gourmand

This is one of my favorite gourmands: roasted coffee, twists of lemon, Italian syrups on the shelf.

Turkish Coffee!

I love this! It reminds me a lot of the Turkish ground coffee I would buy because of the cardamom note!
