Acne Studios has recently ventured into the world of fragrances with a collaboration with Frédéric Malle, the legendary perfumer-founded Editions De Parfums Frédéric Malle. This partnership marks the debut of Acne Studios‘ first-ever fragrance collection, aptly named “Acne Studios by Frédéric Malle.” Combining the elegant complexity of Frédéric Malle fragrances with Acne Studios’ effortless edge, this collaboration aims to captivate the senses and redefine the olfactory experience.
In a strategic move that pushes the boundaries of fashion and fragrance, Acne Studios and Frédéric Malle have joined forces to create a unique fragrance line that embodies the essence of both brands. The brainchild of Frédéric Malle and Acne Studios’ creative director, Jonny Johansson, the collaboration sought to merge their distinct aesthetics and create a scent that resonates with fashion-forward individuals around the world. The scent, crafted by perfumer Suzy Le Helley of Symrise, encapsulates a neo-classic blend of vibrancy, tranquility, magnetism, and cutting-edge sophistication.
The fragrance opens with a burst of freshness, courtesy of aldehydes—a key component known for its ability to lend an airy and soapy quality to perfumes. This initial blast is followed by delicate floral notes of rose, violet, and sunny orange blossom, which add a touch of femininity and classic elegance. As the fragrance settles on the skin, the base notes reveal a subtle hint of vanilla, creamy sandalwood, and peach, leaving a sweet and lingering scent that captivates the senses. True to Acne Studios’ design ethos, the fragrance bottle breaks away from the traditional black label, instead boasting a lighter and brighter aesthetic. The classic cylindrical bottle features a small, centered white label and a painted baby pink base that exudes a warm sunset glow.
