Heat by Akro is a bold, electrifying woody spicy fragrance inspired by the exhilarating sensation of chili pepper. Created by master perfumer Olivier Cresp, this daring composition explores the contrast between sharp freshness and intense, warming spice. Red chili takes center stage, joined by bright lemon and aromatic coriander seeds for a striking opening. Ginger and cardamom build on the spicy character, while juniper introduces a crisp, aromatic freshness that keeps the composition lively and balanced.
As the fragrance settles, cedarwood brings a dry, refined woody character, complemented by the smooth amber-like warmth of ambrox and the softness of musk. The contrast between fiery spice, refreshing citrus, and warm woods creates a distinctive fragrance that feels energetic, sophisticated, and unexpectedly wearable. Heat offers an unconventional interpretation of woody perfumery, capturing the intensity of chili in a composition that is both vibrant and inviting.

Akro Fragrances
The story of Akro is the story of a family; of a dynasty that spans from the earliest days of the perfume industry in Grasse to the cutting edge artform of today.
It all started a few years back, when founder Anaïs Cresp was living in London and learning about the world. Working in the pubs and bars of the vibrant and diverse area of Ladbroke Grove, she became enraptured by the scents around her; by the flower stalls, coffee houses, charcoal grills, by 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; that these distinctive aromas could be bottled and turned into fragrances. Perhaps, instead of just fruits and flowers, you could wear your favourite vice on your skin.
Gourmand
Gourmand fragrances are inspired by delicious, dessert-like notes and the comforting warmth of familiar indulgences. They often blend vanilla, fruit, spice, caramel, chocolate, nuts, or creamy accords into scents that feel cozy, playful, decadent, or elegant. Sweet without always being simple, the best gourmands feel memorable, refined, and hard to resist.
