ACNE Studios

Acne Studios is not just a look.
If anything, it is many looks, an ethos not easily encapsulated:
functional, but eclectic, the opposite of basic.

 
Frédéric Malle tried to put Acne Studios in a bottle.
He knew what he envisioned: a neoclassical perfume
with an irreverent twist; cool yet charming; new yet
familiar; rough yet comfortable; innocent yet magnetic.

 
For this special collaboration, he asked perfume prodigy
Suzy Le Helley to author a powerful manifesto.
The composition is as such: a large amount of aldehydes;
rose, violet and a touch of orangeblossom; accords of
vanilla and peach; generous notes of sandalwood; a
touch of frankincense, and a sea of musks.

 
From utilitarian comfort to eccentric elegance, this
seemed like an olfactory rendering of Acne Studios.
By Editions de Parfums Frédéric Malle.
