Love this, warm and non-churchy incense
Really liked this! Quite strong on first spray, hit in the face with a blast of amber which I love so its all good. I didnt know what to expect as its my first Akro purchase, but as its the scent profile I tend to enjoy, it worked for me. The incense is quite subtle and not very 'churchy'. Its warm and cosy. Wore it shopping and after an hour or so I became aware that I smelled delicious :') Very nice and smooth, creamy and balsamic.

Beautiful amber with nuanced touches and great performance
First formal try of Akro’s latest release, Glow, a bright, ambery blend that’s instantly enveloping and engaging with a touches of sweetness, smokiness, and an overall creamy balsamic quality to it that’s flavored by a bit of spice. The note breakdown includes pink pepper, rose, incense, benzoin, and vanilla, and I think that description seems accurate enough. The use of rose is quite subtle, the pink pepper a bit more pronounced in coloring the mix.

It was just launched at Perfumology as part of an event with perfumer/creative director Olivier Cresp, which I could not attend, and I think it’s going to be very popular and I think it’s one of the house’s very best releases, with high-quality and performance a good mix of familiarity of innovation, hitting a great spot for a new release.

Unlike the vast majority of fragrances in the Akro catalogue that are EDP concentration and priced at $180 for 100ml, Glow (as well as East, released last year) are extrait concentration and priced at $250/130 for 100/30ml, still not unreasonable in the current market for niche perfumery in my opinion, especially considering the outstanding performance off of the sample alone, and I like the 30ml option.

Perfumology carries the line but Glow specifically does not yet appear to be on the website, but I assume that it’s just a matter of time. It’s also sold in other boutiques and on the house’s US website.

Direction Spiriteuse Double Vanilla
I have now tested the Discovery Set from Akro with the 10 samples. It was fun because there was already a nice varied mix of styles. There were 3-4 that I would say I would buy or wear. This glow is also one of them. A great mix that comes across as really classy and sublime. Alongside East, this is one of the more expensive fragrances of this brand, but you can also smell it in these two fragrances. In terms of price, however, this is still possible and the prices here are quite normal niche prices. All Akro fragrances are available in 30ml and 100ml. If you like warm, flattering sweet fragrances, you can buy the large bottle here, as it also works quite well in everyday life. As my headline says, this one reminds me of the great Guerlain fragrance Spiritueuse Double Vanille. However, this glow is much more subdued in its DNA, which makes it much more suitable for everyday use. This glow is very pleasant on the skin without being too weak in terms of sillage. I can absolutely recommend it to anyone who likes these warm, cozy, sweet fragrances with this sensual aura. This fragrance is very unisex and captivates with this noble smoky-sweet vanilla.

All 14 fragrances of this French brand were designed by Olivier Cresp. Already a well-known name, but one who is better known for fresher works and has also created many designers. From time to time he also proves his skills with high-priced and heavier concepts. In my opinion, he did a good job with the Akro fragrances.
The bottles are uniform and the fragrances come in a stylish box. Here you get a golden bottle that matches the name and looks quite cool. The picture above doesn't show it off so well, but it looks very fancy.
As I said, the fragrance is very similar to the much more expensive Guerlain. It's worth it, but if you like the more everyday version, you'll find it here. The pyramid looks slimmed down, even if it is not that complex. This does not detract from its noble aura. The fragrances smell rich and sophisticated. A great combination with this warm amber-vanilla DNA in combination with this great incense, which very gently adds this smoky note. It doesn't really smell like a campfire or anything like that, but very gently like incense. This note works very well in combination with warm amber and vanilla. A light boozy opening is also very nice. The fragrance quickly becomes soft and flattering. This creates a very cozy vibe that is not only good in autumn or winter. The gourmand notes are not too heavy or even wintery. A year-round fragrance that would only be too heavy in summer/midsummer. However, it always works for the evening.
I don't think it's as bad as the performance here. It doesn't have the great power of the Guerlain, for example, but it's a great, gentle companion that lasts for at least 8 hours. The sillage is never too much but still somehow very present which suits this great fragrance aura.

Overall a great noble fragrance that is simply extremely pleasant and an absolutely noble companion for many occasions. Recommendation.

When the fire goes out
I have fallen asleep by the campfire and wake up in the middle of the night. The blazing campfire of the evening has given way to a warm glow. With my eyes closed, I perceive a wonderful melange of soft, sweet Christmas smoke, pepper and vanilla. They remind me of the wonderful evening I have just spent with good friends. I decide not to open my eyes, snuggle up in my blanket and continue dreaming while the scent of the previous evening gently envelops me. I feel safe and secure.

Subtle frankincense + amber + vanilla; golden and almost honey-like. Pink pepper made it sparkle. Cozy, sweet, musky blend.

quite a romantic vanilla, this: it gradually heats up into a golden, surprisingly robust smoulder, & the amber purrs like a lovestruck lion.
