Introducing Akamu, a fragrance that beautifully encapsulates the essence of its name, meaning "from the earth."
This masterpiece is a testament to class, elegance, and a profound connection to the earth's depths. Akamu unfolds as a harmonious blend of freshness and earthiness, an aromatic journey that will captivate your senses.
At its core, Akamu is a earthy blend of scents that marries the invigorating freshness of Orange and Grapefruit with the grounding and earthy qualities of Vetiver, Cedar, and Patchouli. This fragrance is an ode to the richness and depth that emanates "from the earth". The Top Notes of Orange and Grapefruit establish a bright and refreshing introduction, mapping out the expedition that follows. As the fragrance evolves, the Heart Notes of Pepper, Pelargonium, and Flint add a layer of complexity, infusing Akamu with a subtle spiciness and a touch of intriguing flinty undertones. The Base Notes of Vetiver, Cedar, Patchouli, and Benzoin anchor Akamu, and the richness and warmth derived from Benzoin create a captivating sweetness, while the spicy, cinnamon-like undertones and balsamic, vanilla-like aroma elevate this fragrance to an unparalleled level of sophistication.
Akamu is not just a fragrance; it's a sensorial journey, an invitation to experience the earth in its purest and most refined form.
Top Notes: Orange & Grapefruit
Heart Notes: Pepper, Pelargonium & Flint
Base Notes: Vetiver, Cedar, Patchouli & Benzoin

I love it, I am using it now until my samples arrive. It has a floral smell, but not too much which I like because I don’t perfume that has a pungent floral smell. So the Red Door has a softer floral smell and its not strong which I like because I don’t like strong-smelling perfume because I get headaches. I will definitely but it again.
