Akro Smoke is a unisex amber woody eau de parfum launched in 2018 by master perfumer Olivier Cresp, one of the first scents from Akro. Built around the rituals of tobacco, it opens with crumbled tobacco leaf and a smoky, slightly cooling cade oil, then warms into resinous benzoin and sweet tonka bean, like the smell of a bonfire on your clothes. It has notes of smoke, tobacco leaf, cade oil, benzoin and tonka bean.
From the brand - "SMOKE is our addictive tobacco fragrance. ... It’s the shared, flirtatious exchange of preparing a roll-up for someone, it’s the way the tobacco leaf crumbles between your fingers, the smell of flame hitting paper. SMOKE is the scent you’re not supposed to enjoy, but the one you can’t live without."
Fragrantica - "Truly a masterpiece. Smoky and nutty with a bit of powder from the benzoin. The cade oil is cooling, making this a great choice for hot weather! Like a refined perfume version of sitting next to a bonfire and the smell of your clothes after. My favorite from Akro!"
Fragrantica - "Open a fresh pack of cigarettes, inhale that aroma of dried tobacco leaves..."
Fragrantica - "This has been on the top of my to-sample list and has FINALLY sated my quest for a smokey scent. ... This, in contrast, is almost menthol-y on opening, but is settling down to a true, neutral smoke scent. ..."
Fragrantica - "...The smoke at golden hour as the light changes; you can smell it shifting, the acrid edge rounding, softening, less chemical char and more resinous warmth. Beeswax, old wood, honey. ..."
We love our fragrances to smoke for us! Smoke does a smoking two fingers up in the smoke-filled club job par excellence, but here’s the thing: We’ve gotten spoiled by Pineward. Once you’ve gotten your nose ahold of Treacle and Mournhold, forget it. Just forget it.
