Heat

Heat, a 2026 fragrance from the French brand Akro composed by Olivier Cresp, is led by spice, with smaller and equal woody, musky, amber and citrus touches.

The name sums up the character, and spice is front and centre. Lemon opens it with a bright, clean citrus lift. Coriander adds a light, aromatic and slightly citrusy spice, pepper a dry heat, ginger a zesty, tingling warmth and cardamom a cool, aromatic freshness. Juniper berries bring a crisp, gin-like greenness. The base is smooth: cedar gives a dry woody structure, Ambroxan a radiant, slightly salty ambery warmth and musk a clean, skin-like finish.

The profile suggests autumn and spring, daytime and evenings, and social occasions where a lively, spiced scent fits. It is meant to be worn by anyone who likes peppery, gingery spice with a gin-like freshness and a clean, radiant base, and who prefers dry spice to sweetness. Its short note list keeps the warmth bright and crisp rather than heavy, making it versatile for many settings.
