I absolutely adore Akro fragrances. I blind bought Dark used from someone and fell in love and when I found them in one of our stores and samples the rest of the line I literally was desperate to get almost the whole line. I love Haze and Malt and Awake and Smoke, all of them really. I currently own 3 full bottles and have 2 more on my wish list and I cannot wait to try Ink as I love tattoos and can imagine it smelling delicious. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
I only know Awake, Dark, Malt and Smoke and from what I recall Awake was the one I liked best. I need to try the others too, but Ink I don't think is available yet at my local store. Thank you for the video!
What a surprise. In the morning I received samples of Awake, Dark and Haze I ordered previous week and in the evening I see your Akro review... Amazing :) BTW Awake and Dark are superb.
1. SMOKE - tobacco V for warmer weather. Must try in sun. Not high heat. 2. AWAKE - most realistic ground coffee scent. Wake up fragrance. 3. HAZE - fresh and green. No weed dough. 🤷🏼♂️
Akro Ink is one of the best ink fragrances I have ever come across. I also very, very sexy, and has become one of my signature fragrances in my 80+ collection. It is everything I have ever imagined an ink fragrance would be. I am so happy I got his one!!!
I bought the Discovery set for myself last month and the fragrances are incredible but they're so strong I struggle wearing them! I think I would prefer smelling them on someone else. The quality and realism is insane though!
There are new 30 ml bottles, I will begin with that size, all sound good to me, I'm sure I can blind buy them all and I will not be disappointed. Thanks for the review Sebastian!!!
Hi Sebastian, I was intrigued by Ink after seeing your review, and managed to pick up a sample. At first I found it very similar to Bvlgari Black..but then the dark vetiver really shines. It's masculine, dark, mysterious and sexy, and got a compliment on it 8 hours after spraying it! It's a good'un!
I haven't really tried it on skin yet. I will try it out soon. I love rubbery smells like from bvlgari blvck and oud minerale. I smelled it on paper. It threw me off honestly. It's super dark ! My favorite is haze but I'm not sure if it lasts that long so I'm still determined to try it out again on skin. Akro is growing on me a lot!
Hi… after wear for a day I don’t think I will reach for it again…. The world is full of surprises but instead: Encre Noir will be the one, although: I love Awake & Haze. Thanks.
Most curious about Ink, the description brings to mind Encre Nior, Fahrenheit, and also maybe Gucci Guilty Absolute, but all darkened further. No idea if the smells is like that, must smell it. Also curious about Awake and Smoke.
Haze is def my least favorite while I rank Malt in the sixth as I do get a syrupy booziness to it. Maybe my nose pallette isnt able to solely identify the seaweed yet, as I'm just really getting into perfumery, but it doesn't bother me.
Hmmmm, I get cedar shavings, and a metal-like feeling. Like the mix of an ink pen and nib. I can see the metal and ink vibe from tattooing ....but I'm not tatted. lol I just don't find it oily or even very dark at all.
When I was a student we used India ink for pen drawings it had a fragrance, I totally want to try this but that rubber note makes me hesitant, I will have to try a sample 1st too risky for a blind buy.
My idea ink notes better contain patchouli, balsma ember, saffron, a tiny tuberose or lutous, oud, borneol, vetiver, incense... used to have a favorite ink note perfume: Calligraphy series from Aramis
I smelled vetiver golden vanilla from Jo Malone and thought it was the most horrid perfume I’ve ever smelled. Can anyone tell me if that’s a true vetiver? Cause now I’m scared of that note
Sebastian your description & experience with INK is funny & curious, perhaps intriguing for fragrance affectionados. Something there reminds me of Black Phantom. I've been conflicted about the concept of Addictions but you make it sound like a must to sample these. I recently enjoyed a delectable seaweed ramen, but not for a fragrance on my body. Dark & Night sounds like my thing & would make for interesting sampling for Sex Counseling Clients. Wow Smoke is your #1! I'm adventurous but I despise cigarettes so smoke didn't interest me.

Night is King! Ordered another bottle this Black Friday Weekend! I have another sampler coming too. Excellent Review!

Great review/video and I enjoyed it and I'm going to try these fragrances and have a blessed day
got my sample set this morning, ink was the first thing i’ve smelt. i only sprayed it into the air and wow it’s good. about to test on skin.
My eyes definitely rolled into the back of my head when I tested akro smoke. It feels like MMM by the fireplace’s big brother
I sampled Ink at scent bar dtla, it was fantastic. one of the best fragrances I smelled that day out of several

Not strong on this gal 😢
@@andreawilson6887 aww that's a shame!
Awesome one..your description reminds me of Nishane Nanshe a lot! Fabulous vid
Dear Sebastian, Thanks for reviewing this house I am intrigued by Dark I need to add it to my wardrobe. Thanks a million
I’ve been waiting for this!! 😎🤩
There are new 30 ml bottles, I will begin with that size, all sound good to me, I'm sure I can blind buy them all and I will not be disappointed. Thanks for the review Sebastian!!!
My bottle of Haze is on it's way! I've been searching for a good unisex absinthe.

Sounds like a great house Seb need to check out ink 👍 was a pleasure watching hope you have a great weekend.
I sampled this house and my fav is ink!!! So addicting

"Night" is my favorite from the Akro house..
Night is so good!!
I'm adding this company to my list of fragrance houses to sample (i.e. their collected works).
Awesome review. Night is the worst in my opinion
Hi… after wear for a day I don’t think I will reach for it again…. The world is full of surprises but instead: Encre Noir will be the one, although: I love Awake & Haze. Thanks.
Haze for me is a good dose of cannabis. Love Dark, it's on my "to buy" list! And indeed, Olivier Cresp has a lot a class.
Most curious about Ink, the description brings to mind Encre Nior, Fahrenheit, and also maybe Gucci Guilty Absolute, but all darkened further. No idea if the smells is like that, must smell it.

This scent sounds like a night in a techno club in Berlin 🕶
Ooh heck yes Berlin Techno is the best!!
Your killing my wallet 😆
Now I gotta get samples 😒
Thanks
Yours and mine 💸💸💸
Awake is overwhelmingly cardamom. I get it, theres a coffee background, but its more a slightly caramel cardamom
Hmmmm, I get cedar shavings, and a metal-like feeling. Like the mix of an ink pen and nib. I can see the metal and ink vibe from tattooing ....but I'm not tatted. lol I just don't find it oily or even very dark at all.
Very curious about this house. I haven’t sampled any yet.
Please do (ex nihilo) top 10
I don't have 10 to do a top 10! Maybe in the future though! :)
@@ThePerfumeGuy thanks you're the best!!!
