Smile
Initially designed as her own signature scent, Akro founder Anaïs Cresp has released Smile into the wild, to brighten our days with a vivid splash of fresh citrus and juicy berries, accented with aromatic sage and silky, sheer musk. Formulated by Anaïs' famous father, perfumer Olivier Cresp, the composition accomplishes his goal of creating a powerful fragrance to fill his daughter's life with uplifting joy.
From Akro
SMILE is our addictive happiness fragrance inspired by the pursuit of joy and born out of a unique family connection. SMILE is a fragrance to brighten your day.
Many years ago, as a young girl, Akro founder Anaïs Cresp asked her father, the master perfumer Olivier Cresp, to create a perfume just for her, one that nobody else in the world would have.
Olivier set about creating a scent that was as powerful as it was personal—a bottle full of joy for his daughter to carry through life. To do this, he combined notes of sage, bergamot, and raspberry, building a bright and vivid fragrance that could work at any time and any place. For years, Anaïs kept this scent to herself, but now she wants to share it with the world.

Returns
We do not accept returns of perfumes, simply because perfumes can't be resold once they've been opened and used. We encourage you to order samples before purchasing full bottles of perfume. And here's the good news — with every sample purchased, we'll send you a coupon code that allows you to redeem the cost of the sample and sample shipping if you buy a full bottle of the fragrance you tried (in other words, you get $10 off).
Please contact orders@ministryofscent.com if you have a question or issue related to your order or shipping.
Sample Orders
Samples are designed to help you evaluate scents you might want to later purchase as a full bottle. You may order one sample per fragrance, up to 15 total in a single order. Samples are non-refundable.

We'll try to provide the scents you've requested, but substitutions may occur if items are out of stock.
I love this scent. It was a blind buy and I couldn’t be happier. This scent is feminine leaning. The florals are not overpowering in fact from the initial spray to the last hint the next day they feel like a memory of a flower, a flower in the next room. Smile is complex and brightly mysterious. It evokes memories like a forgotten song. A good choice for folks near the middle of the gender spectrum. There is a strong feminine quality entwined with a sweet masculinity. This scent should be studied. It’s quite an achievement.
This is bright and airy with a brisk raspberry iced tea note. It smells like 90’s girlhood: watery fruit body sprays, freshly washed hair, aerosol hairspray, lemony Snapple, the rainbow reflection of a compact disc.
It’s, like, really pretty.
This juice is really good! Moderate projection with great longevity.
10/10 fresh uplifting scent.
LOVE IT!!!!
Juicy, fresh, clean, bright - it reminds me of those fruit scented markers from kindergarten, in the best possible way.
I am heavily in my "try ALL the samples" mode but I think I'm going to splurge on a full bottle of this one - I am hopeful that this will have some longevity as the day wears on.
