Akro Smoke is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2018, created by Olivier Cresp. Smoke opens with Tobacco, settles into a heart of Cade and Smoke, and dries down to a base of Tonka Bean and Benzoin. Akro's Smoke carries an Acquired verdict, a smoky-led wear.

Akro Smoke is as divisive as it gets: some find it a photorealistic ash-tray or BBQ nightmare, others hail it as a sexy, authentic smoke and tobacco masterpiece. It doesn't play subtle; you'll either love its intense, challenging opening and sweet-tobacco drydown or run a mile.

About

Bold and unapologetically smoky from the off, Akro Smoke hits you with a strong, almost tar-like note from the cade, akin to burning wood. This intense opening gradually mellows into a rich, sweet tobacco and amber heart, underscored by creamy tonka bean and a persistent smoky embrace. It's a journey from raw bonfire to a sweeter, more refined and balsamic warmth.
