The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2025 by Akro, Crush is a Floral Fruity Gourmand fragrance created by master perfumer Olivier Cresp. This composition opens with the bright charm of litchi and almond, creating an initial burst of sweetness that transitions seamlessly into the heart of Bulgarian rose and praline. The base notes of vanilla add depth and warmth, resulting in a scent that is both invitingly sweet and sophisticated. Crush embodies the brand’s values of rebellion and provocation, wrapped in a Parisian aesthetic, making it a perfect representation of Akro's distinctive vision.
Apply one or two sprays to your pulse points. The bright top notes of litchi and almond are fleeting, so it’s best to layer the fragrance throughout the day for a continuous indulgence. The base notes of vanilla and rose will linger on your skin long after the initial burst fades.
