Akro Night EDP
Description
Night is Akro's ode to desire: the vice of passion, built by perfumer Olivier Cresp into a dark, spicy floral of cumin, Bulgarian rose, and agarwood. It's one of the original six fragrances from Akro's 2018 launch, and remains one of the boldest, most polarizing scents in the line, some reviewers rank it among the most intense (and least office-friendly) releases Akro makes.
Scent Character
- Spicy: 40%
- Floral: 20%
- Oud: 20%
- Sweet: 10%
- Woody: 10%
Translation: a spicy-floral composition with real agarwood depth, cumin's animalic edge against Bulgarian rose, grounded by oud and musk. This is an intimate, skin-on-skin scent, not a fresh everyday spray.

FAQ
Is Akro Night for men or women?
It's unisex, though its cumin-forward character reads bolder and more animalic than most unisex fragrances.
What does it smell like?
Raw cumin and Bulgarian rose over an oud-and-musk base: dark, spicy, and intimate.
Is it a beginner-friendly scent?
Not really. It's one of Akro's most divisive releases. If you love bold cumin-rose compositions it's a standout; if you're new to niche fragrance, sample it first.
Is there a tester version?
Yes. Akro Night is also available as a lower-priced tester bottle (same juice, no retail packaging).
