We list 22 samples by Akro. Below are 8 of them, described with the facts we hold and nothing else. Nothing here is a verdict: the order is arbitrary and your skin decides.
The selection
Akro Dark
For Akro Dark from Akro we hold no notes; wear it and judge. Your own nose gets used to a scent quickly, so ask someone near you what they notice.
Akro Smile
No notes are on record for Akro Smile from Akro; the sample is the way to find out. Clothes hold a scent differently from skin, which makes a scarf or sleeve a useful second test.
Akro Crush
Akro Crush is on the list from Akro. Its notes are not on record here, and we do not guess them. What reads as sweet on one person can read as dry on another.
Akro Rise
For Akro Rise from Akro we hold no notes; wear it and judge. Smell it right after applying and again later in the day, because the first minutes rarely tell the whole story.
Akro Ink
Akro Ink, by Akro, comes without a recorded note list on our pages. Wear it on more than one day before you make up your mind.
Akro Smoke
No notes are on record for Akro Smoke from Akro; the sample is the way to find out. A paper strip shows the outline, skin shows the detail.
Akro Infuse
No notes are on record for Akro Infuse from Akro; the sample is the way to find out. The opening is the loudest part and the shortest, so let it pass before deciding.
Akro Breathe
Akro Breathe by Akro: no note list is on record with us, so the sample page sticks to name and house. Warm skin and cool skin can bring out different sides, so try both if you can.
Also in this selection: Akro Awake, Akro Haze, Akro Malt, Akro Bake, Akro Fragrances Rise, Akro Fragrances East, Akro Fragrances Ink, Akro Heat, Akro Fragrances Smoke, Akro Fragrances Awake.
How to test them
Try it once at home and once outdoors, since air and temperature change the impression. Leave other perfumes off that day, so nothing interferes. Start light; you can always add a spray on the next wearing. Use it the way you would use a full bottle, on a normal day.
A decant gives you time with it, which a quick spray on a paper strip never does. Keep short notes per perfume; after a week the choice usually makes itself. A decant of 2, 5 or 10 ml lets you wear it on several days before you decide about a full bottle.

Questions
Are these samples made by the brands?
No. They are decants: FragranceGems fills each one from the original bottle into a glass spray vial and labels it. They are not official brand samples.
Why do some perfumes show no notes?
Because we only print notes we can trace to a source. Where no note list is on record, the page says so and leaves the judging to your own skin.
What is a decant?
Perfume moved from the original bottle into a smaller vial. Ours are filled by FragranceGems into glass spray vials and labelled by us, so you can wear a perfume before you decide on a bottle.
