Unconventional style, but minimal at the same time
In addition to perfume, I am a big fan of fashion.
Acne Studios is a brand that of the expression "maximalist minimalism" has made its logo.
What does it mean ?
An unconventional style, but minimal at the same time, audacious and moderate.
And so is this fragrance.
Clean accords, open it up, making it feel airy and fresh, with a velvety peachiness that lasts all throughout. In short, you'll feel it all the time, giving rise to an elegant and vibrant fragrance that stands out but is never overpowering.
Modern and chic, I really liked it.
Oh and to get better into the concept watch a runway show by acne studios, a brand I literally adore, like Malle on the other hand.
Great performances, very appropriate for warmer seasons.

sooo good
Deeeffinitely more expressive than just a laundry scent. Kinda sweet. Very unique. Musky scent with peach, aldehydes and a bit of fresh, sparkly incense. Ridiculously pricey but honestly would let this perfume make me go bankrupt. It’s so addictive idk what to do with my life without it. Got a 100 ml. Smells intoxicating on me allegedly :d

Tigerlily by Suzy Le Helley
Writing stream-of-consciousness:

Opening blast highly reminiscent of the aldehydes employed in Minneapolis 5.3 by Spyros Drosopoulous. This, however, quickly calms down and transitions into a metallic, almost grape / blackberry like accord, further smoothed out by an underlying violet. People are referencing the salmon pink at the bottom of the bottle; however, I see almost more fuchsia as opposed to magenta. This is a bit more transparent than 5.3, but this does indisputably reference detergent/fabric softener. This is metallic, tongue tickling aldehydes that verge on the tuning-fork-to-the-skull effect, but really calm themselves down to a background presence within a reasonable amount of time - the persistence of the effervescence seems quite astonishing and is quite enjoyable (the same sort of happy feeling I get with Cristalle Eau Verte) - personal preference may vary.

The overall fragrance now 20 or so minutes in wears relatively moist, as opposed to say the chalky dry down of No 5 L’eau. Unlike L’eau though, this is not aggravating my sinuses regardless of me placing my nose close to the skin or retaining distance from my arm. The detergent association is inescapable, but this is not dusty - quite fresh, uplifting, and less (imo) crass compared to the more recent MFKs.

This smells “icy” without being “cold”. Hence I believe the references to No. 22. Perhaps a bit of bubblegum too - that pink rose bubblegum feeling that FilipMurray references below reminding us of CDG Concrete - nothing too juvenile. My wife commented on a slight smokiness in the background, in our opinion attributed to the frankincense - that sort of cool, smoky, grey feeling to it. There is no watermelon in this, but I do get that sort of proto-aquatic fruity/salty freshness in the dry down akin to Aramis’ New West for Him (vintage, not that abomination Gentleman’s Collection version).

The fragrance is perhaps traveling down a linear path, but there are a few swerves here and there - the fragrance feels fluid instead of static. It retains interest - I keep wanting to discern the scent subtleties. The deep dry-down brining incensed sandalwood rubbed over with a vanilla balm - not sweet, not different, just a continual smoothing of the opening.

This reminds me more of the quality/pace of the brand with Eau De Magnolia, say as opposed to earlier produced Iris Poudre - make of that what you will.

This makes me happy.

Owning Lys Mediteranee (my wedding fragrance and first Malle), Bois d’Orage, Geranium Pour Monsieur, Vetiver Extraordinaire, Cologne Indelibe, and Eau De Magnolia, I can genuinely see myself reaching for my wallet for this far sooner than for either Rose & Cuir or Heaven Can Wait.

I think a lot of the contempt for this fragrance is due to Malle retiring and this being a collaboration that “appears” more low-browed compared to Dries Van Noten and Alber Elbaz - I believe wholeheartedly if this had a black label marked with Suzy Le Helley’s name and was given a conventional title (let’s randomly steal “Tigerlily” from Natalie Merchant’s debut solo album) this would be less attacked and more appreciated for what it is.

In fact, it’s a crime that Suzy doesn’t get her name plastered on this - just as Bruno for Dries and Dominique for Superstitious . For her first all-on-her own fragrance? Bravo!

Perfect
This perfume is very emotional for me.

It's beautiful, clean, and fresh, yet somehow slightly dirty from floral notes. It's airy, long-lasting, and has excellent projection.

Aldehydes, musk, peach, orange blossom, sandalwood, and a hint of frankincense. Like the most beautiful and potent fabric softener. Sounds simple - but it's not.

It partly reminds me of Superstitious because of the aldehydes, but they are still completely different. Acne Studios is not sour, it's much easier to wear... The drydown reminds me of CDG - Concrete, probably because of the sandalwood...

Perfection!

After the sad news that Frederic is leaving the brand - I can say that he left EDPFM with style. I already see this one in my top 10.

Easy Signature Scent
It’s giving powdery peach ring candy. The florals are blended in such a way that they almost blur together into a warm, slightly muddled haze. It’s like mixing all the paints until you get that soft greyish brown. For some reason, I imagine this is exactly what Delaney Rowe smells like. Honestly, this feels like a grown-up version of Daisy by Marc Jacob’s.

Soapy? Yes. Aldehydic? Yes. Synthetic? Absolutely. Incense? A whisp. Call me basic, but I'm over the moon for this one.

Soapy rose-aldehydes and violet powder. Feels cold, slightly metallic at first. Later on some creamy and smoky bits. Very retro throughout

Wearing it makes me feel like a young modern Swede living in Paris.
Delusional, but one can dream. Bought a full bottle and loving it.

Finally bought it! The more you wear it the more you sense the complexity of the musky interplay. Takes time to appreciate the fine details

Laundry detergent/fabric softener. Maybe a "clean", white T-shirt and jeans perfume but too soapy to enjoy. Not "Acne" enough..

Insanely sharp detergent scent. Had high hopes but way to overpowering for me.

New Look is a jagged aldehyde whilst this is silky and smooth. Introverted. Musks are clean with a watery edge. Congratulations to Helley!

A generic aldehydic freshie. How do you rate a product with 0 nuances? Who is getting excited for faux Chanel at €340/100ml in 2024?

Sorry it's very bad on my skin - like synthetic candy bubble gum.
I'd never spend so much money for that.
The name is ridiculous in French.
