SCENT
Step 1. Choose your scene

Midday sun beats heavily on the grove. Sweet aromas burst from the freshly peeled orange. Neroli blossom dances, alive on the breeze. Another negroni over ice – it's summer after all.

AT FIRST
SLICED ORANGE, SWEET MANDARIN, TUSCAN SUN

AND THEN
BITTER NEGRONI, NEROLI BLOSSOM, AFTERNOON SIESTA

FINALLY
ITALIAN CYPRESS, PETITGRAIN, LA DOLCE VITA

A walk through the woods after a thunderstorm. Damp cedar. Fresh leaves. Citrus rays of morning light slice through the canopy. Take a deep breath. Day begins again. 

AT FIRST
EUCALYPTUS, CALEDONIAN PINE, ORANGE SUNBEAMS

AND THEN
ROSEMARY, MORNING DEW, A SENSE OF WONDER

FINALLY
WET EARTH, LINGERING CEDAR

Steam dances over the hot spring, steeped in soft Japanese citrus. Cold, earthy air rushes into the lungs. Morning sun bathes the cedar mountains in a lavender light. Mind clear and calm. Breathe.

AT FIRST
STEEPED YUZU, LAVENDER, HUSHED MINT

AND THEN
MOUNTAIN PEPPER, CLOVE

FINALLY
JAPANESE CEDARWOOD, VETIVER, CALM

A lazy walk back to the villa, along cobbled streets, past tomato vines and proud citrus trees. Under the dusk sky, locals smoke cigars and drink mint tea. The sea air greets your sun-kissed skin like an old friend. Here’s to endless summers.

AT FIRST
FRESH MINT, POMELO, COASTAL WIND

AND THEN
CASCADING GERANIUMS, TOMATO VINES, SUN-WARMED SKIN

FINALLY
VETIVER, GIN AND TONIC... AND NO PLANS

Early Sunday morning. Lemon sunlight peeks sleepily over the terraces of the bustling flower market. Street sellers call; their stalls a riot of violet and amber blooms. The scent of freshly cut stems and good coffee. With a smile you melt into the crowd.

AT FIRST
ZESTY LEMON, CUT STEMS, COLD SKIES

AND THEN
IRIS, VIOLET LEAF, WARM HANDS ON A COFFEE CUP

FINALLY
AMBER, TONKA BEAN. A PERFECT SUNDAY

A blank page. An empty stage. The pre before the masterpiece, the accolades, and the ovations. Just you and the anticipation of what's to come. No distractions. No notes. Just boundless creativity. Take in this moment and all its possibilities — and create. 

AT FIRST 
Zip. Zilch. Nada. Nothing at all 

AND THEN 
A sense of possibility, an inkling, an idea 

FINALLY 
Restless imagination, untapped genius, joie de vivre

The Deodorant Balm SC.05

5 stars

I love this deodorant! The smell is heavenly but not too strong or overpowering and it is easy to apply especially with help of the assistant (necessary!) and the applicator (helpful but not as necessary as assistant)
Also doesn’t leave any stains on my clothes!! I am an AKT fan for life- and look forward to trying other scents at some point, if I ever tire of scent 5 which is divine.

Absolutely LOVE this stuff

I have suffered from bad antiperspirants / deodorants for years. YEARS. Most caused my armpits to discolor. Only a few actually worked as described - almost all didn’t work as a deodorant. I bought cheap, expensive, mass produced, artisanal…nothing really worked for me. And don’t get me started on the scents. I never really found a scent I liked. Then came along AKT. TBH, I was skeptical at first. And I initially bought a tube WITHOUT “the assistant” (don’t make this mistake. Buy the starter set WITH the assistant…you’ll thank me later). But, I’ll be damned, this stuff works EXACTLY as described. If you’re a sweaty human, this may not keep you fro perspiring, BUT you’ll smell nice. I bought Orange Grove (haven’t tried any other scents), and it matched perfectly with the cologne I wear (Clinique Happy for Men). And it lasts all day!! I swear!! I tried a tube before subscribed, but once you’ve tried it, you’ll like it so much that you’ll subscribe. Thank you Ed and Andy - this is great stuff and I’ll never use another deodorant again.
