Akro Crush Extrait

Description

Crush is Akro's newest indulgence: an Extrait de Parfum developed with guidance from the head chef of Ladurée, the iconic Parisian pâtisserie, as a fragrant homage to the pink macaron. Released globally in August 2025 by perfumer Olivier Cresp, it captures the exact moment a rose macaron gives way beneath your teeth: roasted almond and lychee cracking open, before Bulgarian rose and praline melt into something soft and faintly intoxicating, with vanilla lingering underneath.

Scent Character

Crush leans sweet, fruity, and rosy, built around Bulgarian rose, praline, and vanilla with an almond-lychee opening. It reads as a delicate, floral gourmand rather than a heavy dessert scent, closer to the elegance of a pâtisserie counter than a bakery.
