Akro Infuse is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2024, created by Olivier Cresp. Infuse opens with Bergamot and Guaiac Wood, settles into a heart of Mate, Magnolia, Osmanthus, and Freesia, and dries down to a base of Vetiver and Ambroxan. Akro's Infuse carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

This one is a real paradox - you'll either find it a beautifully complex, uplifting tea scent, or a pungent, musty horror show. Akro's Infuse demands a skin test, because it's not shy about revealing its true colours, for better or worse.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring
Also Works:
Summer Fall

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual
Also Works:
Office Date Sport

Its moderate sillage and aromatic profile make it quite suitable for casual wear or the office, as long as it dries down well on your skin. The divisive nature of its opening notes, however, makes it a risky choice for formal settings or a date, where first impressions matter.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Infuse immediately greets you with a sharp, zesty bergamot that quickly intertwines with a rich, smoky guaiac wood. The heart reveals a complex tapestry of tea notes - mate and oolong providing an earthy, slightly bitter depth, brightened by delicate osmanthus and magnolia florals, and a hint of sweet apricot. As it settles, vetiver adds a dry, woody anchor, while ambroxan provides a subtle, diffusive warmth. It’s a sophisticated and layered tea experience, moving from bright to deeply aromatic.
