SMILE

Smile is the fragrance of joy by Akro, the Parisian house founded by perfumer Olivier Cresp together with his daughter Anaïs Cresp. A fresh, luminous unisex Eau de Parfum, born from a personal bond long before it became a project.

The Fragrance

Smile comes from a private story: as a young girl, Anaïs Cresp asked her father to create a perfume that no one else in the world would have. Olivier kept it as a family treasure for years, before Anaïs decided to share it with the world through Akro. A fragrance designed to be worn anywhere, in any season, like a small reminder to keep things light.

How It Evolves on Skin

Smile opens with Clary Sage and Bergamot, aromatic and citrusy, giving an immediate sense of freshness. As the minutes pass, the fragrance warms into a heart of Raspberry, juicy and lively, bringing an almost instant note of joy. In the base everything settles into clean, enveloping Musk, for a light trail that lingers without ever feeling heavy.

Who We Recommend Smile To

Smile is perfect for anyone looking for a fragrance that's different from the usual, able to tell a mood rather than just a scent. It works equally well on him and her, gives its best on the days when you just want to feel good, and is the right choice for anyone who loves fresh, lively compositions, far from the more predictable schemes.

Fragrance Characteristics

Our Opinion

Smile is one of those fragrances that instantly lift your mood: simple only on the surface, actually built with a care you can feel. We like its sincerity, the way it captures a specific emotion without ever trying too hard.
