In this exclusive interview, Olivier Cresp, the master perfumer made famous for Angel, explores contemporary addictions-coffee, chocolate, nicotine-and transforms them into elegant, figurative niche fragrances. With his daughter Anaïs, he creates modern gourmet creations such as Crush and Bake. AKRO embodies an independent, audacious and sophisticated perfumery, where addiction becomes an olfactory experience.

Ayşe Sirkecioğlu is a perfumer at EPS Fragrances. Trained in cutting-edge technologies (Head Space analyzers, distillation), she captures the essence of living nature to create her compositions.

Her signature style combines sophisticated oriental contrasts with gourmand touches, as in "Ruby" (2025), which blends cherries, creamy almond and amber vanilla.

She masters the art of dosing spices without caricature, creating exceptionally long-lasting niche fragrances that tell a story and reveal a revisited Ottoman elegance.
