About the Perfumer

Olivier Cresp

Olivier Cresp

Olivier Cresp is a renowned French perfumer and a master at Grasse, best known for co-founding the fragrance house Akro. His style balances rich gourmand notes with elegant floral compositions, often highlighting unexpected contrasts. Representative works include the cocoa-infused Rose Cocoa Aerin and the vibrant, sunlit Tuberose Le Jour Aerin, as well as Akro’s Bake, which captures the scent of a lemon tart. Cresp’s influence is widely felt through his pioneering use of edible accords in fine fragrance.
