Oakcha Akimbo is an Extrait de Parfum. Akimbo opens with Bergamot, Violet Leaf, Pink Pepper, and Apple, settles into a heart of Mysore Sandalwood, Rose, and Styrax, and dries down to a base of Amber, Ylang-Ylang, Peach, and Blackcurrant. Oakcha's Akimbo carries an Acquired verdict, a fruity-led wear.

Divisive and bold, Akimbo is an animalic powerhouse that's definitely not a safe blind buy. Expect a strong, long-lasting scent that will get you noticed, 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:
Fall
Also Works:
Spring Summer Winter

An autumn-weather scent at heart - warm leaves and shorter days territory.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

This scent boasts strong sillage and long-lasting performance, making it less suitable for an office environment. Its complex, animalic nature and opulent feel make it perfect for date nights or formal events where you want to make a statement, but it's a bit much for casual wear.

About

Akimbo opens with a sharp, tangy burst of bergamot and crisp apple, softened by a hint of violet leaf and a cheeky pinch of pink pepper. This quickly deepens into a rich heart of creamy Mysore sandalwood, a touch of sophisticated rose, and the balsamic warmth of styrax. The base unfurls with a lush, almost opulent amber, a sweet kiss of peach and blackcurrant, and the exotic, slightly indolic scent of ylang-ylang, leaving a complex, animalic trail.
