The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2024, Smile by Akro is an aromatic fruity fragrance for women and men, created by master perfumer Olivier Cresp. The composition opens with the bright zest of bergamot, which gives way to a heart of raspberry and clary sage, blending sweet and spicy notes. The base note of musk adds warmth and depth without overpowering the top and middle layers. Smile captures the essence of rebellion and provocation that Akro values, while maintaining a Parisian aesthetic.
Smile has a balanced projection that works well in both day and evening settings. One or two sprays are enough for the fragrance to develop fully on your skin without becoming too overwhelming. The musk base note will bloom gradually, providing warmth throughout the day.
