The story behind the bottle.
Ink by Akro is a fragrance that channels the permanence of Ink on skin — the kind of scent that lingers like a memory, both alluring and evocative. Created by Olivier Cresp in 2022, Ink is a Floral EDP for women and men that captures the essence of a tattoo: an indelible mark that signifies moments and memories. The composition opens with cold, smoky notes of black Ink and tar before transitioning into a heart of vetiver and jasmine, creating a contrast between earthiness and floral warmth. This duality is emblematic of Akro’s fascination with the parallels between tattoos and perfumery — both serve as reminders of significant moments in life.
Apply Ink in layers — start with one spray to allow the smoky top notes to settle before adding another layer for the vetiver and jasmine to unfold. This fragrance is best worn close to the skin where its earthy warmth can be fully appreciated.
