Akro: gourmand perfumes signed Olivier Cresp

Olivier Cresp and the founding of the maison

Akro was founded in 2018 in London by Anaïs Cresp and her father Olivier Cresp, master perfumer behind some of the greatest hits of contemporary perfumery — Mugler's Angel (1992), Light Blue by Dolce & Gabbana (2001), Black Opium by YSL (2014). The maison cultivates an audacious gourmand register, with creations bearing addiction-related names (Bake, Hash, Smoke, Awake) that explore the contemporary olfactive pleasures often considered taboo. A unique creative posture in luxury niche, served by the technical mastery of one of the most influential noses of the last forty years.

The maison's signature scents

The Akro pantheon brings together East Extrait, Bake, Smoke, Hash and Awake — a roster of audacious gourmands that bear witness to the founder's perfectly mastered writing.

The gourmand as creative posture

Akro cultivates an unprecedented approach in luxury niche: the assumed gourmand, freed from the codes of feminine and infantile perfumery. Where the great gourmand tradition (Angel, Black Opium, Lolita Lempicka) inscribes itself in a feminine and seductive register, Akro proposes an adult, conscious, transgressive gourmand. Bake evokes the warm bakery, Hash an assumed cannabis evocation, Smoke the smoke of evening cigars. A line that reinvents the gourmand outside its usual codes.

Who is Akro for, and when to wear it?

Akro speaks to lovers of contemporary luxury perfumery, who seek audacious gourmand trails freed from genre codes. The house is unisex. Creations sit in the gourmand, oriental, ambery and woody families. If you enjoy Akro, you will also want to explore La Closerie des Parfums Cacao, the Xerjoff Coffee Break and Initio Hedonist — three other contemporary gourmand signatures at Soleil d'Or.

Frequently asked questions about Akro perfumes

Who is behind the AKRO brand?

AKRO was founded in 2018 by Anaïs Cresp and her father Olivier Cresp, master perfumer at Firmenich — creator of Mugler's Angel, Dolce & Gabbana's Light Blue, YSL's Black Opium and Mon Paris. Anaïs leads the artistic direction, Olivier signs all compositions with first-choice ingredients. A unique father-daughter collaboration in niche perfumery.

What does AKRO mean?

AKRO comes from the French word "accro" — addict. The brand is built around everyday addictions: morning coffee, evening whisky, smoke, chocolate. Rather than drawing inspiration from classic flowers and fruits, AKRO bottles the smells that fascinate us and that we cannot resist.

What is the AKRO best-seller?

Bake is the absolute best-seller of the house, representing 45% of sales. This gourmand perfume of brown caramel, salt and immortelle is a perfect demonstration of Olivier Cresp's mastery. Rise (espresso coffee), Dark (dark cocoa) and Awake complete the house's gourmand quartet. Our personalised discovery box lets you test them before committing to a bottle.

Are AKRO perfumes unisex?

Yes — every AKRO perfume is unisex, without exception. It is a fundamental conviction of the house. Addictions have no gender: coffee, whisky, smoke or caramel belong to everyone. Our personalised discovery box lets you test AKRO on your skin before investing in a full bottle.

Which olfactory families does AKRO cover?

AKRO primarily covers gourmand perfumes (Bake, Crush, Dark, Awake, Rise), aromatic perfumes (Haze, Smoke, Breathe) and woody perfumes (Ink). The house also explores floral perfumes (Night, Infuse, Malt) and fruity perfumes (Smile, East) — a palette that reflects the DNA of a house with no olfactory borders.
