What does Akowa smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick autumn, winter and spring, and leisure, night out and evening are the occasions named most often. It is voted masculine more than anything else, with classic in second place.

It opens citrusy and floral with bergamot and orange blossom. In the heart, fig leaf adds a green edge and cocoa turns the scent sweeter. The base of amber, vetiver, patchouli, musk and vanilla settles into a woody, resinous, slightly earthy and smoky finish. Lalique Hommage à l'Homme Voyageur and Nu Parfums Bronze Age Homme have a close profile.
