HAZE

Haze is the chill fragrance by Akro, the Parisian house founded by perfumer Olivier Cresp together with his daughter Anaïs Cresp. A fresh yet smoky unisex Eau de Parfum, among the most distinctive scents of the contemporary world.

The Fragrance

Haze was born as one of Akro's "addictions turned into perfume": a herbaceous aroma that has become a recognizable olfactory signature everywhere, from the streets of New York to the beaches of southern Spain, from festival crowds to dinners with friends. Akro describes it as "an aromatic fog of a Bohemian Café," able to make you feel slightly hazy even while completely sober.

How It Evolves on Skin

Haze opens with Mint, Absinthe and Eucalyptus, a green, balsamic accord that immediately stands out for its almost camphorous freshness. As the minutes pass, the fragrance warms into a heart of Clary Sage, herbaceous and lightly amber, which softens the sharper edge of the opening. In the base everything settles into earthy, enveloping Patchouli and Leather, for an intimate trail that stays close to the skin.

Who We Recommend Haze To

Haze is perfect for anyone looking for a fresh fragrance with character, further from the usual citrus fragrances and closer to a genuine green, herbaceous register. It works equally well on him and her, gives its best on cooler days and in more casual moments, and is the right choice for anyone who loves relaxed fragrances that are never boring.

Fragrance Characteristics

Our Opinion

Haze wins over anyone looking for something different from the usual fresh citrus scent: green, a little smoky, never predictable. We like how it stays intimate and close to the skin, without ever losing the herbaceous character that makes it instantly recognizable.

FAQ

What inspired Haze's concept?
Haze is inspired by the aroma of the fresh cannabis plant, not the smoked one: an idea Akro describes as "an aromatic fog of a Bohemian Café."

Is Haze an intense or a discreet fragrance?
It's designed to be intimate and close to the skin: its moderate sillage makes it ideal for everyday, casual wear rather than for being noticed from a distance.

Is Haze a fresh or a warm fragrance?
Both: it opens fresh and balsamic, but in the base it warms up into earthy patchouli and leather notes, striking a balance between the two registers.
