The brand finds its inspiration both in Asia and Europe. ‘Leng’ notes complement ‘Ling’ notes in each perfume like the yin and yang balancing together opposite elements. Above all, Lengling is an authentic story: the family name of the creators, man and woman, an authentic love affair that led to the creation of this beautiful perfume house, based in Munich. A unique destination it is. Above all, a very special moment with Ursula and Christian together, who demonstrate in real life the balancing concept of their brand.

Akro fragrances bring us a unique world of addictions and of total freedom of expression

Akro fragrances bring us a unique world of addictions and of total freedom of expression. It is combining the sixties free spirit with nowadays reality. An authentic family story is behind it. A family, full of talent, not only in the art of making perfumes but also in creative design. The team is equally modest as talented, that is quite special. We are dealing with the Cresp’s. Olivier is the well-known master perfumer, Anaïs is the one you are going to meet. The creative mastermind behind the brand, the rebel with a daring attitude. We get to share her world. Intense. Full of joy. Addictive. So yes, full immersion it is. One last thing turns the light off, black it is.
