EAST is our addictive travel fragrance, inspired by the Middle East.
Of all the five senses, none has the power to transport us quite like scent. Every now and again, it’ll hit you: a stranger’s perfume reminding you of a long-lost love, the smell of the sea taking us back to holidays past.
One aroma that always takes us to a different place is that of Oud, the rare and mysterious oil that comes from the core of the aquilaria tree. Oud is an aroma that invokes theMiddle East, a place with its own idiosyncratic set of smells and flavours.
So, in tribute to travel and Oud, we created EAST, perhaps the strongest and most unique of all the Akro ranges.
EAST is a fragrance that’ll transport you to those grand deserts and energetic street markets whenever you’re dreaming of somewhere far away.
Emperors they may be, but when a massive cyclone unleashes its merciless austral winds, the colony of penguins bow to its power. It's from such extremes that the male penguin must guard his precious bundle. Passed tenderly from mother to father, the egg is their shared purpose. She embarks on a perilous odyssey to the sea for food. He begins his own monotonous march, packed tightly in a circle of trudging penguins. So intent is he on protecting his egg that even the dazzling aurora australis against a lonely night sky escapes his notice.
Zoologist Penguin opens with saffron caught upon a salty blast of crisp antarctic air. Against the cool desolation, anticipation glimmers as lively aromas of pink pepper and sea moss swirl over musks, suede and sandalwood. Brace yourself for a vibrant scent that Is always invigorating, a reminder of nature’s harsh reality in a welcome blast.

Phloem is a diabolical assemblage of odourants that should oppose, but somehow attract.
There is a violent, primal sensuality that bewitches before embracing. The entire composition is a balancing act of contradicting raw materials blended instinctually to create a shocking and diffusive bouquet of devastating release.
Phloem presents a miasma of olfactory sin; flushed skin, shoreline, carnival frivolities, caviar, lipstick smears and erogenous effluvium.
Sucrose-sweetness is tempered with greasy spices that hinder Phloem from sliding into tooth-achingly sweet territory. A damp note of nutty driftwood and hot gooey styrax gum continues deep into the fade.
Phloem is hallucinogenic vapour with a marbled psychedelic development.
Drawing inspiration from Scandinavian minimalism and avant-garde art, Clary Fig is an olfactive representation of an unforeseen combination. The name is as obvious as the scent itself. A sweet and complex clary sage and fig accord meets sparkling citruses and loud spices - a comforting base with a subtle yet striking twist.
Clary Fig is developed in collaboration with master perfumer Antoine Lie.
Arborist is an ode to enchanting woodlands, the likes of which are found across our native Scotland.
Be warned, Arborist is not just lumber. It is an imagined day-in-the-life of a Virideer.
Arborist possesses an overwhelming and spirited opening mellowing into sun-bleached woods, malted cereals and worked-skin. A symphony of nature untamed.
The core structure of Arborist is redolent of many great Scots timbers; their leaves, flowers, fruits, roots and soil being the quintessential portrait of the forest.
Arborist presents a unique blend of raw flowers, botanicals, resin sap, underwood and surprising forest fruits. Resolutely sylvan and intriguingly multifaceted with more than a hint of human skin, oily tool and distilling elixirs haunting from afar.
The Green Man - a study of humanity’s visceral and tempestuous relationship with nature.
Included in the first ever NISHANE collection launched globally in the year 2015, the WŪLÓNG CHÁ extrait de parfum has reached a huge fanbase worldwide thanks to the journey it takes the wearer to the serene tea gardens of Far East, where the delicate notes of oolong tea leaves and Mediterranean fig fill the air.

Awake revisits the craziness of coffee through a concentrate of unstable energy that finds its power in bitter scents.
Everyone knows where they first really fell in love with coffee. For us, it was the feted Bluebells Cafe on Portobello Road - the place we came to get our morning fix, the antidote to the night before. Awake is a fragrance that captures the evocative smell of a warm coffee shop on a cold West London day; the freshly ground beans, the steam, the heat, the bitter luxury.
Fragrance Notes:
Santos Coffee, Green Cardamom, Italian Lemon, Haitian Vetive

Unashamedly polarizing, Carduus is a blend of jagged leaves, herbal seeds and xeric barks.
Carduus assaults with a potent crash of warm gustatory herbs, tingling seeds and defensive leaves. This dry herbal bouquet prevails over medicinal botanicals, ardent barks and bruised molecules. The resulting effect conjures images of untold ceremony and ritual. The fragrance flirts with tradition; aged herbs and spices blended alchemically.
This romantic brew is woven with bundles of complex flower essences and fermented leaves before revealing sweet confections and pounded roots.
There is unusual buoyancy experienced with Carduus. Starting extremely rich, dense and laced with spices before shedding layers to reveal a veiled and noble incense facet that feels weightless.
'Nemo me impune lacessit' – the Order of the Thistle. The defiant motto of Scotland, an ancestral virtue.
Fantosmia Eau de Parfum is a perfume that marries natural phenomenon with manufactured intelligence in equal measure.
The end result presents a progressive step towards a new olfactory language – speaking not only in notes and aromatic raw materials, but also in shape, form, texture, surface, physicality, the elusive and intangible; giving additional lexicon to odours, their form and resulting sensation (olfacticality).
Existing in liquid form, Fantosmia transcends materiality and showcases the inherent beauty of select natural materials and the power of harnessed molecular knowledge
Reality is immaterial.

With an unctuous opening of exotic and near-indescribable fruit notes and augmented citrus oils, Paradisi presents a novel freshness and odd familiarity albeit from a fruit that you have never experienced before. The secret here lies in the collision between specific citrus extracts and key aldehydes pivoting around a peculiar berry extraction, which is subsequently buried within the formula being used primarily for its hidden secrets over its aromatic properties.
Nectary is a profusion of diaphanous flowers. A modern alternative to more traditional signatures.
This is a brutal floral bouquet, abundant with honeyed sweetness and oozing with precious sap. There is a beguiling tartness as Nectary unfurls. A ripe, juicy nuance compliments narcotic blushed petals adding unfiltered naturalness.
Nectary is not a preened garden; there is bravado and danger lurking at every twist and turn. To disturb the slumbering flowers would prove perilous. Crude terracotta vases spill with fruit-bearing inflorescences. Cool mineral vapours radiate from ivory walls, incubating delicate seedlings.
Nectary is a garden protected by hardy, thorn emblazoned flora, ouch! Rose absolute from Isparta is the sworn protector, shielding injured wood and regal bouquets.
Born of a daydream to create a garden for the skin. Equal parts flower, leaf and soil.

Dark borrows from chocolate its most seductive facets to play with emotions and captivate the senses
Dark Chocolate, like foreign films and black coffee, is something you only get really into as you get older. A petite décadence that you’ll only understand when your tastes mature, when you’ve fully explored your sensuality. Our baptism into the darkness came about when we discovered Said London - the legendary Soho chocolatiers. Just walking in there off the cold, dark streets of W1 feels like a sensory reawakening, as you let their aromas into your airwaves, and the flavours onto your tongue. Said soon became a weekly, guilty pilgrimage spot for us, a place to train our senses. When it came to creating bottling our addictions, it was one of our first places we thought about. Bitter and sweet, without being bittersweet, Dark is a fragrance of pure indulgence.
Fragrance Notes: Cocoa, Dark Chocolate, Cinnamon, Hazelnut, Vanilla
It’s that time of year when the days are getting shorter, the nights are getting longer and you just wish summer could have lasted forever. At Akro, we can’t promise to keep the weather good, but we can bring you a little hit of summer whenever you want. RISE is our new summer-inspired fragrance, one informed by those unforgettable summer nights drinking Pina Coladas on faraway beaches, or exploring the city in search of new experiences and sensations. With notes of fresh coconut water, juicy pineapple and added depth from creamy sandalwood - RISE is a fragrance designed to transport you back to those magical summer moments, perfect for whenever you’re in need of a winter pick-me-up.
In his classic novel À la recherche du temps perdu, the writer Marcel Proust showed how you can be transported back to your childhood by a scent or taste. For Proust, it was a small cake called a petite madeleine that did it. For Akro's Olivier and Anaïs Cresp, it's the lemon cupcakes at Carnaby Street's Crumbs & Doilies.
Whenever they're in London, they make a pilgrimage to the renowned bakery, looking for that transportative experience - one that reminds them of long lost days, trips to the United States and those cosy afternoons hiding from the chaos of Central London. In honour of the Crumbs & Dollies cupcakes and the evocative power of sweet treats, Akro has created a new fragrance: BAKE, a scent to remind you of a childhood treats and better times.
Smoke is inspired by the pleasure of the first drag of a cigarette, which is consumed as quickly as it is born.
Smoke: it's a scent that splits us down the middle, the ultimate acquired taste. It might not be for everyone - but for those who are pulled in by it’s taboo aroma, it’s the abiding scent of the best times of our lives; first kisses, last dances, 5am enlightenments, after parties and mornings after. It’s the scent you’re not supposed to like, but the one you can’t forget.
Perseus is a luminous and refreshing creation, combined with a long-lasting sillage. The fragrance is characterized by a grapefruit citrus accord and a vetiver heart that come to life the moment they meet. The former immediately invigorates, its freshness electrifying the skin. At the same time the earthy facet of the vetiver is revealed, refined, comforting and sensual. Perseus’s trail is further enriched by ambergris and long-lasting dry woods. Perseus evokes early morning at the royal residence of Marly, at the moment when the sun’s first rays waken the château, warm its gardens and make its fountains sparkle. A sun-kissed perfume, it celebrates the radiance of citrus. A unique morning ritual for a day of endless sunshine.
Fragrance Notes:
Top notes: Bergamot, Grapefruit, Blackcurrant Bud

Best time to wear:In the morning for a boost of energy to last an entire summer's day.
Athenaeum is the distillation of a once forgotten yet fond olfactory memory, awakened upon a chance encounter at the local athenaeum. It is the fragmented and hazy reminiscence of a rural childhood found once more in the urban landscape.
Upon entering the athenaeum one is struck by the overwhelming aroma of degrading pulp and ink, shrouded in a haze of sun-kissed dust. Without haste, the smell transports you to arable mid-summer fields and days lost in swaying pastures, nose buried in hundreds of papery leaves, crops and mulchy woodland all around.
Like gauzy sunshine whistling through rugged lands, Athenaeum is as comforting as it is solitary. A fragrance crafted for reflection.
Athenaeum expertly showcases sustainably-sourced, hand harvested Scottish Lavender. Jorum Studio Athenaeum is the first master-crafted perfume to make use of Scottish-grown, harvested and distilled biodynamic perfume materials.
