STEP 1. CHOOSE A Scent

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

Best Xmas Present Ever!

Was a gift from my partner having seen adverts for this everywhere - thoroughly satisfied, so much more effective than off the shelf deodorant and better for me and the planet.

An ethical deodorant that works!

I’ve used various ethical deodorants and none have worked for me. I’m now trying AKT and I’m blown away by how good it is. After a run and a workout I still don’t smell sweaty at all. Can’t quite believe such a small amount can be this effective. I’ll be subscribing.

Best deodorant ever

I’m sold - this works!

I absolutely love this deodorant. I was getting concerned with the nasties in traditional roll ons and have always disliked the ‘after scent’ of most deodorants (the smell in your clothes after a full day’s wear). I tried other eco deodorants, most of which are stick deodorants which clogged up the pores on my armpits and ended in a bumpy rash. I have very sensitive skin and was delighted with AKT. I tried the lavender version and loved it. The texture is grainy but it smooths on really easily and seems to create a soft dry cover, almost like talc but with no white residue whatsoever. Best of all, the after scent is really good. I feel I can wear my clothes for longer. I also really love the clean lines of the packaging and the jewel that is ‘the assistant’ to help you wind the tube down to avoid any waste. I’m never going back. This is hands down the best deodorant I’ve ever tried!
