Acne Studios has collaborated with Frédéric Malle to launch their first joint perfume, marking a fusion of alternative paths with a multidisciplinary artistic perspective and a principle of absolute creative freedom. This ambition to create a new aesthetic draws from the realms of photography, architecture, culture, and design.
Frédéric Malle, with over thirty years of experience, stands as a distinguished figure in the world of perfumery. He is an atypical, unclassifiable aesthete who encourages artists to break boundaries, develop their voices, and celebrates their creativity.
Founded in 2000, Editions de Parfums Frédéric Malle aims to champion and restore the reputation of perfume. Inspired by the rich aesthetics of Acne Studios, Frédéric Malle sought to capture its spirit and reveal its olfactory reflection. Indeed, the French perfume editor envisioned a neo-classical perfume that is vibrant, comforting, and captivating. He entrusted the creation of this manifesto to the young perfume prodigy, Suzy Le Helley, who stands at the crossroads of yesterday’s classics and tomorrow’s innovations.
The perfume exudes an intense sensation of stimulation, with soft notes of rose, violet, and orange blossom weaving a bright harmony. Within this serene floral scent, a subtle vanilla aroma combined with creamy sandalwood and white musk brings a sense of lightness and infinite comfort. From this almost tangible scent, the spirit of Acne Studios by Frédéric Malle is highlighted.
The collaboration between Acne Studios and Frédéric Malle transcends the boundaries of traditional perfumery. It embodies a collision of ideas, a fusion of creativity, and a celebration of individuality, providing a perfume experience that is both timeless and avant-garde. Acne Studios by Frédéric Malle invites us to explore a world where fashion, perfume, and art converge, embarking on a unique sensory journey.
This new perfume will be available for purchase starting April 17, 2024, in Acne Studios and Frédéric Malle stores, as well as department stores. The luxury perfume will also be sold in pop-up stores from April 22, 2024, to May 20, 2024.
