Akro Rise was launched in 2023, created by Olivier Cresp. An ode to summer - beach cocktails, tropical flowers, it has notes of pina colada, pineapple, coconut water, toffee, frangipani, tiare flower, sandalwood and ambroxan. Akro Rise is an EDP, eau de parfum.
From the brand - "It’s that of year when the days are getting shorter, the nights are getting longer and you just wish summer could have lasted forever. At Akro, we can’t promise to keep the weather good, but we can bring you a little hit of summer whenever you want. RISE is our ode to a summer-inspired fragrance, one informed by those unforgettable summer nights drinking Pina Coladas on faraway beaches, or exploring the city in search of new experiences and sensations. With notes of fresh coconut water, juicy pineapple and added depth from creamy sandalwood - RISE is a fragrance designed to transport you back to those magical summer moments, perfect for whenever you’re in need of a winter pick-me-up."
Fragrantica - "t's the dead of a long winter, I tested this on and Akro Rise takes me on an instant vacation. It's sunny and relaxed and there's mischief in the air. Oh, is that a Pina colada in my hand? Yum. The sunny is a bit hazy, let's put on sunglasses.... There's music. I'm transported."
Fragrantica - "Akro’s Rise is exactly what you think it's going to be. Whether or not that's a good thing is up to you. There is nothing surprising after the first spray. Yes there is pineapple, but say this is a tropical fragrance and I will say you are stretching your words. This is not fruit forward and instead it is more of a toffee gourmand with a little pineapple on top. Yes the coconut is there as well. It is realistic yet subtle and smells more like girls at the beach than piña colada. My favorite toffee note comes from Italica by Xerjoff because of its buttery characteristics. Very different from Rise. This fragrance makes me think of a Group of young girls trying to make the most out of their last hours at some resort in the Caribbean island. "
