Akro East EDP

Description

East is Akro's travel vice: Olivier Cresp's tribute to sun-baked deserts and Middle Eastern street markets, built around real agarwood. Released in 2023, it's one of the boldest, most concentrated fragrances in Akro's "wearable vices" line, a true oud composition rather than the smoky, oud-adjacent accords found in some of the brand's other releases.

Scent Character

• Oud: 50%
• Sweet: 25%
• Woody: 25%

Translation: a genuine oud composition, Oud Assafi agarwood and leather at the core, with ambroxan lending sweetness and depth. This is real agarwood, not a smoky substitute.
