Dark by Akro, eau de parfum

The story of Dark

Dark is the addiction to dark chocolate, bottled. The intensity of a square savoured after a meal, truly appreciated as one grows older; the voluptuousness of a bar in a chocolatier's window, so enticing it makes your mouth water. Dark chocolate is nothing but adventure.

From the opening, cocoa powder unfolds its roasted richness and noble bitterness. Cinnamon bark and hazelnut warm the heart with a pâtisserie-like gourmandise, between spice and praline.

In the base, vanilla wraps the composition in a soft, lasting sensuality, letting only the purity of cocoa express itself. A perfume that restores dark chocolate to its former glory.

Signed by master perfumer Olivier Cresp, Dark is a perfume for dyed-in-the-wool gourmands, without limits.

The first minutes
Cocoa — all our fragrances with this note

A raw bean, slightly bitter and earthy, cocoa in perfumery evokes a gourmand softness without the sugary roundness of chocolate. A deep, bewitching base note.
