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
Tobacco is an ancient crop, which for centuries, has lured people in with its enticing aroma and powerful rituals. It’s the shared, flirtatious exchange of preparing a roll-up for someone, it’s the way the tobacco leaf crumbles between your fingers, the smell of flame hitting paper.
SMOKE is the scent you’re not supposed to enjoy, but the one you can’t live without.

Top Notes: The initial impression of SMOKE is dominated by the rich, earthy aroma of Tobacco Leaves. This provides a raw, almost vegetal scent, reminiscent of freshly harvested tobacco plants.
Heart Notes: As the initial tobacco fades, the heart of the fragrance reveals a smoky, woody character with the introduction of Birch. This adds a subtle sweetness and a dry, leathery nuance, evoking the scent of burning wood.
Base Notes: The lingering warmth of SMOKE is anchored by a blend of Benzoin and Tonka Bean. The balsamic sweetness of benzoin provides a smooth, resinous depth, while the tonka bean adds a touch of vanilla and almond-like gourmand facets, creating a captivating and addictive dry down that persists for hours.
