Akro Glow is a sweet, resinous gourmand scent, warmed by pink pepper, frankincense, amber and vanilla, with a unisex character.
Skunky's take: The sweet side leads; sugar fans, this way.

What does Glow smell like?
Both its longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters recommend fall and winter, while spring and summer play a smaller part. It leans towards evenings and nights out, and also suits leisure and daily wear. Voters read it as slightly more feminine and modern, though it stays unisex.
It opens with pink pepper adding a spicy warmth, then frankincense forms a resinous, faintly smoky heart. Amber and vanilla build a sweet, creamy, powdery base, kept dry by a woody tone. Prada Marienbad and Guerlain Ambre Samar have a close profile.
