Akro was founded in London in 2018 by Anaïs Cresp and her father Olivier Cresp, a master perfumer. Inspired by the scents of Ladbroke Grove, Anaïs envisioned a house dedicated to the pleasures and habits we become attached to. Olivier composes the fragrances, while Anaïs shapes the brand identity, now developed from France.

Akro transforms everyday sensations into direct and evocative compositions: coffee, tobacco, whisky, chocolate, partying and tattoos. Olivier Cresp works with sometimes unexpected materials through a clear, accessible style, while Anaïs Cresp brings a contemporary visual direction shaped by London and its urban culture.

Akro fragrances are all sold out at Fragsplit right now.
