SMOKE

Smoke is the tobacco fragrance by Akro, the Parisian house founded by perfumer Olivier Cresp together with his daughter Anaïs Cresp. An enveloping, photorealistic unisex Eau de Parfum, for anyone who loves fragrances with character.

The Fragrance

Smoke was born from Akro's wish to render the ritual of tobacco with absolute fidelity: the shared, flirtatious exchange of rolling a cigarette for someone, the way the leaf crumbles between your fingers, the smell of flame hitting paper. A fragrance that neither softens nor sweetens, but tells that experience directly and authentically.

How It Evolves on Skin

Smoke opens with Tobacco Leaves, dry and enveloping, immediately bringing the heart of the fragrance to the stage. As the minutes pass, the fragrance warms into a heart of Birch, smoky and resinous, deepening the smoky character of the opening. In the base everything settles into warm, sweet Benzoin and Tonka Bean, for an enveloping trail that stays on skin for a long time.

Who We Recommend Smoke To

Smoke is perfect for anyone looking for a fragrance that's different from the usual, able to tell a ritual rather than just a scent. It works equally well on him and her, gives its best on the most intense evenings and in moments when you want to dare, and is the right choice for anyone who loves smoky, bold compositions, far from the more predictable schemes.

Fragrance Characteristics

Our Opinion

Smoke is one of those fragrances you recognize for their honesty: it's not trying to please everyone, it's trying to stay true to what it promises. We like the boldness with which it renders a precise experience, with no shortcuts and no compromises.
