Akro

The story of Akro is the story of a family. Founder Anaïs Cresp was living in London, working in the pubs and bars of Ladbroke Grove, when she became enraptured by the scents around her — the flower stalls, coffee houses, charcoal grills, the whiskey and leather of the grand old Irish pubs and the inescapable haze of weed in the air. After a long, lost summer of indulging in everything the city had to offer, Anaïs hit on an idea... perhaps, instead of just fruits and flowers, you could wear your favorite vice on your skin.

Luckily, she knew just the man to turn this daydream into a reality — her father Olivier, a master perfumer behind some most well-known fragrances on the planet, including Dolce & Gabbana's Light Blue and Mugler’s Angel. Together, father and daughter began to share ideas, stories and eventually scents. Soon enough, Akro was born.

Akro is available on our website and at our San Francisco location at 2408 Fillmore Street, in the Pacific Heights neighborhood.
