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.
It all started a few years ago, when Paris-born Anaïs Cresp was living in London and navigating her place in the world. Immersed in city life, she came to realise that everyone has their own everyday addiction, the habit they can’t give up, and that these little temptations made life worth living.
As someone raised in the ancient culture of perfumery, Anaïs understood that the scents of these addictions were as important as their effect; that the aromas of coffee houses, bars, bakeries, holidays and tattoo parlours are part of the reason we keep coming back to them.
Soon, Anaïs hit on an idea: that these distinctive scents could be bottled and turned into fragrances. That perhaps, instead of the standard perfume notes, you could wear your favourite addiction on your skin.

Olfactory Notes
Ingredients
Dark chocolate is something you only really get into as you get older. A petite décadence that you’ll only understand when your tastes mature, when you’ve fully explored your sensuality. The best dark chocolate is an indulgence on par with great coffee or red wine. It can be transportative, taking you back to the mountains of South America, enlivening your senses, giving you a dose of pure, unadulterated pleasure. Dark is a scent that practically radiates serotonin.

Top Notes: A rich and inviting opening of cocoa powder dominates, evoking the dry, dusty aroma of unsweetened chocolate. This provides a bittersweet and slightly powdery first impression.
Heart Notes: As the initial cocoa fades, warm and spicy cinnamon bark emerges, adding a touch of comforting warmth and depth. This is complemented by the nutty sweetness of hazelnut, creating a gourmand heart that evokes the sensation of freshly baked goods.
Base Notes: The lingering warmth of vanilla provides a smooth and creamy foundation for the fragrance. This sweet and comforting note adds a touch of sensuality and rounds out the chocolatey experience, leaving a lasting impression of decadent indulgence.
