AKRO

About Akro brand

We all have our addictions, our vices, our favourite little rituals. Something about them just keeps us coming back - whether it’s the taste, the hit, the high, the rush, or that all-too-brief moment of absolute tranquility.

For us here at Akro, it's the smells that do it; the bitter hit of a morning espresso, the cold, smokey blast of bourbon falling over ice, the first drag of a post-coital cigarette, the unmistakable aroma of hashish floating through the city air in summer.

When it comes to fragrances, we understand that our favourite scents aren't always flowers and fruits. We know that sexy doesn't always mean sweet, that wellness doesn’t smell half as alluring as naughtiness.

We like to push our fragrances well beyond the established boundaries - exploring our indulgences and bottling them for your pleasure; using notes like warm leather, black coffee, top-shelf whiskey, dark chocolate, sticky weed and strong absinthe.

We try to innovate just as much as we invigorate - forever searching for the middle ground between fantasy and reality, pleasure and pain, science and sex.

We make fragrances for people that don't like to say no.

The story of Akro is the story of a family—of a French dynasty that spans from the earliest days of the perfume industry in Grasse to the cutting-edge art form of today.

The French word “Accro” translates as “hooked” - as in, to be dependent or obsessed with something. Akro stems from its pronunciation, “ackro”.

Nothing revives a memory like scent.

At Akro, French Master Perfumer Olivier Cresp captures the scents of your everyday pleasures, so you can recreate the best moments of your life; anytime and anywhere
