The story of Akro is the story of a family; of a dynasty that spans from the earliest days of the perfume industry in Grasse to the cutting edge artform of today.
It all started a few years back, when founder Anaïs Cresp was living in London and learning about the world. Working in the pubs and bars of the vibrant and diverse area of Ladbroke Grove, she became enraptured by the scents around her; by the flower stalls, coffee houses, charcoal grills, by the whiskey and leather of the grand old Irish pubs and the inescapable haze of weed in the air.
After a long, lost summer of indulging in everything the city had to offer, Anaïs hit on an idea; that these distinctive aromas could be bottled and turned into fragrances. Perhaps, instead of just fruits and flowers, you could wear your favourite vice on your skin.
Ink
Regular price ₹ 14,400.00Everyone remembers their first tattoo; the fear, the sensation, the adrenaline rush, the futile attempts to hide it from your parents.
For those who’ve fallen under the spell of this ancient art, it’s much more than a bit of body decoration; it’s a reminder of a time, a place - a fleeting moment that becomes a permanent memento.
In many ways, a good fragrance works similarly - something you carry on your skin, to remind you of who you were at a moment in time. At AKRO, we’ve always been fascinated by the parallels between tattoos and perfumery, which is why we’ve created our new scent, Ink.
Cold, alluring, with notes of black ink, tar, vetiver and jasmine - Ink is a scent that will transport you back to the day of your first tattoo, whenever you want.
