"East is our addictive travel fragrance. Of all the five senses, none has the power to transport us quite like scent. Sometimes, just one hit of a long-forgotten smell is enough to sweep you off your feet, carrying you towards some distant land or time. One aroma that always takes us to a different place is that of Oud, the rare and mysterious oil that comes from the core of the Aquilaria tree. Oud is an aroma that invokes the Middle East, a place with its own idiosyncratic set of smells and flavours. So, in tribute to travel and Oud, we created East, perhaps the strongest and most unique of all the Akro ranges. East is a fragrance that’ll transport you to those grand deserts and energetic street markets whenever you’re dreaming of somewhere far away."

"GLOW is our addictive party fragrance. One of the reasons we go to parties is the chance to be noticed, admired, or possibly seduced. At their best, parties allow us to become movie stars for the night, bringing people into our orbit and watching them gaze adoringly at us. To attract people, you need to dress beautifully and style your hair perfectly, but the truth is, nothing pulls others towards you like the power of scent. Glow is a fragrance formed by our love for parties and nights out. It’s a warm, sensual perfume that will make you the star of any room. A quick spray on your skin and you’ll be brimming with confidence, ready to own the night, ready to Glow."

"INFUSE is our addictive tea fragrance. In Asia, the ancient drink of tea must be prepared with the utmost attention to detail, sometimes with an accompanying ceremony. At its best, tea is both relaxing and invigorating, sensual and stimulating. A tonic to carry you through the day. To celebrate the joys of Asian tea culture, we came up with INFUSE, a fragrance based on the flavours and aromas of the famous Oolong brew. It’s a fragrance that is bitter, deep, and herbal—perfect for tea connoisseurs. INFUSE is a scent to purify your body and mind."

"SMILE is our addictive happiness fragrance. SMILE is a new fragrance inspired by the pursuit of joy and born out of a unique family connection. Many years ago, as a young girl, Akro founder Anaïs Cresp asked her father, the master perfumer Olivier Cresp, to create a perfume just for her, one that nobody else in the world would have. Olivier set about creating a scent that was as powerful as it was personal—a bottle full of joy for his daughter to carry through life. To do this, he combined notes of sage, bergamot, and raspberry, building a bright and vivid fragrance that could work at any time and any place. For years, Anaïs kept this scent to herself, but now she wants to share it with the world. SMILE is a fragrance to brighten your day."

Dark borrows from chocolate its most seductive facets to play with emotions and captivate the senses

Dark Chocolate, like foreign films and black coffee, is something you only get really into as you get older. A​ ​petite décadence that ​you’ll only understand when your tastes mature, when you’ve fully explored your sensuality. Our baptism into the darkness came about when we discovered Said London - the legendary Soho chocolatiers. Just walking in there off the cold, dark streets of W1 feels like a sensory reawakening, as you let their aromas into your airwaves, and the flavours onto your tongue. Said soon became a weekly, guilty pilgrimage spot for us, a place to train our senses. When it came to creating bottling our addictions, it was one of our first places we thought about. Bitter and sweet, without being bittersweet, ​Dark ​is a fragrance of pure indulgence.

Haze, like a breath, liberates by creating an unresolved sensation. Between two states, two notes.

Picture the scene: Notting Hill Carnival, the Rampage stage, 2009 - the summer of UK Funky. Donae’o, the man of the moment, the MC behind this year’s carnival anthem is on the mic. He takes one look at the DJ, and they drop 'Party Hard'. The whole street seems to explode. Those in the throng of bodies, who had been grinding that fragrant, fresh kush are now lighting up, toking, passing. Within seconds All Saints Road becomes engulfed in the smell of the green - and through some strange urban chemistry it merges with the beats, the beer, the charcoal, the mood. Together they create the real scent of London - the one we dream of whenever we’re away for too long.

Everyone 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.

Malt is the perfect synthesis of a delicate liquor and a drunkenness that leaves its trace on the skin.

A really good whisky is a sensory experience; it's the bite on your tongue, the warmth in your cheeks, the smoky aroma that releases when it falls over ice. It’s a scent we first became enamoured with when working the pubs and bars of Ladbroke Grove, a scent that will forever be associated with that dangerous ‘tipping point’ in a night; that witching hour and a bit before closing time when the beers become shorts, relaxation becomes hedonism and night edges closer to morning. We just knew we had to bottle if for you.

Night brings back the moment of desire and its musky flavour. When the night belongs to those who lust and love.

A drink in the flat. A taxi. A warehouse party, somewhere in the depths of Hackney Wick, the Olympic Stadium guiding your way. You pay, you drink, you dance. Your eyes meet another pair across the dancefloor, in a nanosecond between strobe flashes. You follow them to the bar, you say something stupid. You buy them a drink. You move to the smoking area, and then back to the dancefloor. You talk. You dance. You touch. You kiss. You book another taxi. You spend the night in bed, and the day in the pub. You make plans to see each other again, but never do. Night​ is the smell of those long-lost, one-night dalliances that stay with you long after they probably should.

Smoke is inspired by the pleasure of the first drag of a cigarette, which is consumed as quickly as it is born.

Smoke: it's a scent that splits us down the middle, the ultimate acquired taste. It might not be for everyone - but for those who are pulled in by it’s taboo aroma, it’s the abiding scent of the best times of our lives; first kisses, last dances, 5am enlightenments, after parties and mornings after. It’s the scent you’re not supposed to like, but the one you can’t forget.

Awake revisits the craziness of coffee through a concentrate of unstable energy that finds its power in bitter scents.

Everyone knows where they first really fell in love with coffee. For us, it was the feted Bluebells Cafe on Portobello Road - the place we came to get our morning fix, the antidote to the night before. ​Awake i​s a fragrance that captures the evocative smell of a warm coffee shop on a cold West London day; the freshly ground beans, the steam, the heat, the bitter luxury.
