Smile is (yet) another newer Akro release that has little to no connection, both in concept and in execution to the original line-up of the brand in my opinion.
This is perhaps the most simple and mass appealing of all the Akro releases to date, with a super soft raspberry scent and citrus.
It’s a good mix of soapy, citrussy and sweet. Unfortunately, as you would expect from a scent profile like this, it’s not a great performer.
Smile definitely smells nice and wears super smooth, but I feel like this is a fragrance that didn’t need Akro or Olivier Cresp to exist and has probably existed many times before.
