Akro fragrance

Love. Tattoos. Tobacco. Whiskey. Chocolate. Relaxation. Summer. Coffee. Cupcakes. Travel. Tea. Party. Happiness.

These irresistible daily addictions are the inspiration behind Akro, a modern and innovative fragrance brand that captures the essence of a rush, a high, a hit—the thrill of life’s everyday pleasures.

This original olfactory venture was brought to life by Master Perfumer Olivier Cresp and his visionary daughter Anaïs Cresp.

Thanks to Olivier’s expertise and Anaïs’s creativity, the duo crafted thirteen bold and extraordinary fragrances. From seaweed to hazelnut, cumin, and whiskey, Akro explores unconventional perfume notes, fused with premium ingredients sourced from the Firmenich fragrance palette—the legendary perfume house Olivier has worked with since 1992.

The story of Akro is a story of family and heritage—a dynasty that spans from the early days of perfumery in Grasse to the cutting edge of modern niche fragrance design.

It all began a few years ago, when founder Anaïs Cresp was living in London, exploring the world and working in pubs and bars in the multicultural, vibrant neighborhood of Ladbroke Grove.

She became fascinated by the scents of the city: the flower stalls, coffee shops, charcoal grills, whiskey-soaked leather of old Irish pubs—and the unmistakable scent of cannabis in the air.

After one long, lost summer indulging in the city’s pleasures, Anaïs had a realization: these addictive aromas could be bottled, transformed into fragrances that tell stories.
Instead of the usual florals and fruits, why not wear the scent of life itself?
