Escape, silence, splendor, serenity. Sometimes, it’s the simple pleasures of nature that are the most addictive. Let Breathe expand your horizons with aromatic airs of lavender and bergamot. A breath of fresh air to replenish your spirit.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
The city’s noise recedes as you step onto a park path and slow your pace. Breathe’s brisk bergamot and orderly lavender suit that shift from urgency to quiet attention, with a watery softness that feels composed rather than dressed up.
How to wear
Its citrus, lavender and watery profile makes Breathe a natural choice for spring and mild summer weather. Start with one or two sprays on the neck or forearms for a restrained aromatic presence; in warmer conditions, keep the application light so the freshness remains the focus.
Who it’s for
For those drawn to classic lavender fougères but looking for a lighter, more watery interpretation. It suits a taste for crisp citrus, aromatic structure and soft musk rather than gourmand sweetness or dense, smoky richness.
Release year
2025
The nose
Olivier Cresp is known for translating familiar sensations into distinctive perfumes, from the gourmand richness of Mugler Angel to the citrus clarity of Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue. At Akro, he applies that approach to everyday cravings and pleasures. Breathe takes his work in a quieter direction, pairing bergamot and lavender with watery freshness and musk.
Akro’s story
Akro turns recurring pleasures into perfume: coffee, chocolate, whisky, tobacco and the experiences people seek out again and again. Founded around Anaïs Cresp’s observations of everyday London smells and Olivier Cresp’s perfumery, the house treats addiction as a creative lens. Breathe extends that idea to the restorative pull of nature.
Breathe’s concept
Breathe explores the desire to escape into nature: open landscapes, silence and the simple pleasure of fresh air. Rather than interpreting an edible indulgence, it translates a quieter craving into aromatic lavender, bright bergamot and a watery, musky backdrop.
Extra info
Akro labels Breathe’s theme “Nature Addiction.” Its official note pyramid is notably spare: bergamot and lavender at the top, water at the heart and musk in the base.
