Akro Night is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2018, created by Olivier Cresp. Night opens with Rose, and settles into a heart of Saffron and Cumin. Akro's Night carries a Statement verdict, a floral-led wear.

Akro Night is a truly polarising scent. You'll either adore its animalic, musky rose that evokes raw intimacy, or recoil from what many perceive as an unwashed, sweaty body odour. It's daring, unapologetic, and definitely not a blind buy.

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 Summer Fall Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date

Akro Night's strong and divisive scent profile, frequently described as 'sweaty' or 'animalic', makes it utterly unsuitable for the office or sport. Its intimate, raw character is best reserved for date nights or specific evening occasions where its boldness can be appreciated, not tolerated.

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.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Geraniol from Rose

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

An intense and unapologetic aroma that plunges you into a dark, sensual realm. It opens with the rich, heady bloom of rose, quickly intertwined with the earthy, almost bodily warmth of cumin and the spicy, leathery nuances of saffron. As it settles, a deep, animalic musk emerges, creating a carnal, skin-like accord that can be both alluring and confrontational. This is a scent that doesn't just sit on the skin; it becomes a part of you, evolving with your natural scent to create something uniquely intimate.
