The Scoop

Oh man, this is good. A thick pour of molten dark chocolate to begin with, as strong and as intense as an espresso, but absent any of the metallic or animalic aspects that can sometimes emerge in dark chocolate. This is dark chocolate idealized. It’s not sweet or creamy, but there’s a strong hint of caramelized milk running underneath the rafters of the scent to pull it back from acridity. It’s pure unadulterated dark chocolate bliss.

Throughout the day, as the dark chocolate tonality ebbs away, a gloriously rich, nutty base steps forward to fill the vacuum. Spicy, cinnamon-flecked tonka and hazelnut notes combine with vanilla to create a suede-textured drydown that seems to go on forever without shedding any of its richness – a thing of beauty in a world where oftentimes the ending is rushed. Interestingly, though from the same hand that created Angel, Dark is its complete opposite – plush but not fruity, and gourmand but not edible or ‘yummy’. Dark is an exquisitely balanced, elegant chocolate quasi-gourmand that leans to the adult side of the indulgence spectrum. An utter pleasure to wear.

Here's what other people are saying about Dark...

There is a decent note of dark Turbinado sugar, but the acrid chemical background comes out right after.

I got a sample of this, and I swear to god it was terrible. I didn't smell any chocolate, cinnamon, or anything listed. It smelled like drain cleaner on me. Maybe it's a body chemistry thing, but I would be cautious if you decide to buy it. Get the sample first.

Chocolate chocolat chocolate! Pure dark chocolate, fades to a kind of nutella. Nothing unpleasant whatsoever. Not a complicated fragrance - if chocolate were a "flore," this would be a soliflore - but what's not to like about that? I wish it lasted longer, but while it's there it's really good! Goes well with lots of other fragrances, too, especially patchoulis (like Jovoy Psychedelique) and rose. Super nice.

Masterfully assembled. The fragrance is almost intimate in that the notes seem to unfold for the pleasure of the wearer rather than for its larger audience. Akro Dark delivers excellent performance with both silage and projection and wonderfully long lasting) but the experience of the notes changing and developing seems to be specifically for the wearer. The, unhurried dry-down is restrained virtuosity as the leather notes settle and the woody smokiness begins to clear. Here it develops into a gorgeous hazelnut and deep chocolate with a soft spicy vanilla. The chocolate is deep; warm and expensive. For fall and winter and we would recommend that if you try a sample, resist the urge to call a verdict too soon

Akro Dark is a superbly constructed ‘chocolate note’ fragrance that delivers extraordinary elegance. The fragrance is almost intimate in that the notes seem to unfold for the pleasure of the wearer rather than for its larger audience. The long, unhurried process of dry-down is a fragrance example of restrained virtuosity as the leather notes settle into the background and the woody smokiness begins to clear. Here Akro Dark develops into a gorgeous hazelnut and deep chocolate with a long build of soft spicy vanilla. When you find it, the chocolate is deep; warm and expensive. Akro Dark has been blended thoughtfully and on purpose.
