Acne Studios and Editions de Parfums Frédéric Malle meet at the intersection of fashion, perfumery and art.
Driven since their inception by the ambition to create a radically new aesthetic, both houses draw their essence from photography, architecture, culture and design, and apply those creative principles to everything from boutiques to clothing, fragrances to bottles.
The Perfume is a perfectly crafted creation, the perfume has a singular allure. Aldehydes comprise the true backbone of the composition, unfolding in the first instance in a pure and crystalline breath that develops into a long-term radiance.
This immediate, intense thrill is matched by the softness of the floral notes. Hints of rose and violet convey a certain classicism, underscored by the luminosity of orange blossom. At the heart of the floral bouquet, a hint of incense appears, supplying a mineral freshness that amplifies the aldehyde echo.
Next comes a striking contrast with vanilla, subtle and understated, delivering its softness alongside creamy sandalwood and a note of peach skin. This softness caresses the skin like a comforting mohair sweater thanks to the graceful note of white musk. From this tactile and tangible trail emerges the soul of Acne Studios, by Frédéric Malle.
