Acne Studios isn't just a look. If anything, it's many looks, a difficult-to-encapsulate ethos: functional, yet eclectic, the opposite of basic. From the collaboration between Frédéric Malle and Jonny Johansson (founder of Acne Studios), an attempt to fit Acne Studios into a bottle results in a neoclassical perfume with an irreverent touch: fresh yet charming; new yet familiar; harsh yet comfortable; innocent yet magnetic.
The fragrance presents a wealth of aldehydes, rose, violet, and a hint of orange blossom; accords of vanilla and peach; generous notes of sandalwood; a touch of incense; and a sea of musk. From utilitarian comfort to eccentric elegance, an olfactory representation of Acne Studios.
NOTES: Aldehydes, rose, peach, vanilla, sandalwood, musk
Perfumer: Suzy Le Helley.
Frédéric Malle found a kindred spirit in Suzy Le Helley, who enjoys constructing new olfactory forms from familiar materials or accords. While each perfumer cultivates their own olfactory obsessions, Malle focused on aldehydes, synthetic components that give a perfume a fresh and dazzling quality, like a spicy or metallic note. These molecules, first used at the dawn of the 20th century, have contributed to the golden age of modern perfumery and energized timeless masterpieces. Moreover, their fresh, clean scent has contributed to everyday household products since the 1950s. Like a garment cut from raw material and transformed into a work of art through technical processing and design, Frédéric Malle and Suzy Le Helley, faithful to the daring irreverence of Acne Studios, have combined functional and rich materials to achieve the exceptional.
