Akro Fragrances

Born from the pulse of London’s Ladbroke Grove and the legacy of Grasse, Akro is a family affair—equal parts rebellion and refinement. Master perfumer Olivier Cresp, whose nose shaped icons like Angel and Light Blue, joined forces with his daughter Anaïs, whose nights behind London bar counters stirred a fascination with the city’s visceral aromas: whiskey-soaked leather, charcoal smoke, coffee steam, and the haze of indulgence.

Together, they asked: What if perfume didn’t just smell pretty? What if it captured our vices, our cravings, our truths?

Akro’s fragrances are unapologetic tributes to addiction—chocolate, ink, weed, tobacco, and more—bottled not to tame, but to celebrate. Each scent is a sensory snapshot of modern life, crafted with rare ingredients and raw emotion. It’s not about escaping reality. It’s about wearing it.

Akro is not just perfume. It’s memory. It’s mood. It’s the rush of the everyday, distilled.
