Akro East is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2023, created by Olivier Cresp. East opens with Raspberry, settles into a heart of Leather and Oud, and dries down to a base of Ambroxan. Akro's East carries an Acquired verdict, an oud-led wear.

Prepare for a polarizing experience. Akro East might be a familiar raspberry-oud beast, but for those who love it, it's a 'sex in a bottle' and a beast-mode compliment magnet. For others, it's an unoriginal, harsh knock-off.

Given its beast-mode projection and longevity, East is far too potent for an office setting. It's perfectly suited for dates and formal occasions where its sensual and luxurious character can shine. It's less ideal for casual wear due to its intensity.

About

Akro East takes a bold raspberry opening and plunges it into a deep, rich oud. As it settles, a smooth, smoky leather emerges, blended with the sweet, musky warmth of ambroxan. It's a heavy, resinous affair, with the fruity sweetness balancing the animalic depth, creating a potent and long-lasting scent trail.
