I'm still trying to figure out what I'm smelling. As a lover of skin fragrances I knew I had to add this to my collection.

As soon as I tested it was a blast of WOOD. The way the wood smells in new furniture. It reminded me a lot of Angel Dust Eau de Parfum , so much that I had to test them both side by side. But they are quite different.

Angel Dust is sweet, creamy and peppery where IDKW is citrusy, sharp and woody. Both may be siblings, but with undeniably different personalities.

After a second thest the bergamote was gone and I was left with a very strong scent that to my nose smelled like black licorice gummies, but I can link this note to those reviews that speak about rubber or synthetic smell. Yet, it was not unpleasant.

It leans a lot more masculine than Angel Dust, but it is pretty unisex. On the dry down, the is just that nice muted but noticeable molecular scent.

This perfume may not be pretty, or elegant, or sweet, or chic, but it is original enough to have in your collection. I have not layer it with anything else yet, but sounds promising.

The longevity is quite good for this type of scent, and the sillage is moderate.

Came to this perfume in my search for the perfect pear perfume.

I already have Pear Inc., which is ok, but it has too much of JHAP's ambroxan and too little pear. Later, I fell in love with Studied. But it was just too expensive to justify its poor longevity. So, ended up looking for Radiant Nectar and God is a Woman Eau de Parfum. In both case the longevity was notngreat either. Same with Versace pour Femme Dylan Purple Eau de Parfum...

Until I found this beauty. I know this profile is not mature, elegant or glamurous. I already have a very grown up perfumes. But some days I just need a fancy fruity perfume. Something sweet without being sugary or gourmand. Something playful, simple and pretty.

And this is it. It has a more than ok sillage and longevity, it is the cheapest of all those pear perfumes and smells just carefree, fun, juvenile, sparkly.

This perfume smells like a sweet powdery green iris. Looks simple but it is quite complex.

Despite not being listed, I can clearly detect a very powdery vanilla. Very faint. Very powdery. Very sheet. It is similar to La Vie est Belle Vanille Nude's sweetnes. But, there is more. Over that powdered sugar coat lies the iris. Dusty, lipsticky and with a twist of GREEN.

This green-zesty twist gives the perfume a very unique scent, not too citrusy, not to herbal, but a little minty, a little fresh that blends so well with everything else that it is noticeable, but can be detangled from the entire perfume.

Tiffany intense smells mature, and rich, and powdery. But at the same time it is kinda fresh, chic, modern. It is so hard to label, because the first impressions may be "old fashioned", but it also have something sparkling blue, something playful.

Safe for everyday use. It stays close to the skin and lingers for a few hours (3-5).

Taking into account the profile this perfume is linked with, I was hoping for a clean soapy laundry scent. I am a true fan of those kind of perfumes, and after see this one compared to 724 Eau de Parfum or Love-O-Matic , I was expecting something similar.

But I can't find the connection betweem them or how are those perfumes related. Don't get me wrong: Acne Studios is a beautiful perfume, but (to me) it does not have any connection with the classic laundry-type perfumes. I can see that the aldehydes may be the link between all of them.

Acne is peachy in a candy-like way, and creamy. Other user compared it to the peach gummies. In my country those are heart-shaped and smells just like that. Not utterly sweet, but very similar. On top of that there is a creaminess that rounds the fragrance, avoiding it from being too sharp or too sweet, or too loud. Is a creamy peach with ethereal feeling. Almost like a sheer hiding some peach heart-shapped gummies.

Overall is a nice perfume, pretty without being too juvenile or childish. It is quite noticeable and has an ok longevity. But if you are looking for a true laundry/soapy scent, maybe skip that one and go straight to the other more popular options. This one is perfect for those who already have almost all the clean perfumes out there, and want something out of the range but close enough.

This perfume needs a little time to develop. At first the molecules make it smell like nothing, just alcohol and a very transparent sterile scent. But, after a few minutes, this perfume settles and the pear starts to bloom.

This has the ambroxan profile of JHAG dripped in a very fresh and a little sweet pear. The scent is very pleasant and the pear is so well balanced: not too ripped, not too candy-like.

BUT, it is weak. The performance is far from good. It doesn't have more duration or sillage when sprayed directly on clothes. Minimal sillage and poor longevity, which made it (for me) a perfume not suitable to use when you want to smell nice (and others to notice it) for some time (more than 2h).

I still like it very much, but won't use on my daily basis. Instead I reach for it at home, before bed or when I have to run some quick errands. It is a pitty, but also each perfume has his own lifespan and we pick them for different occasions taking that into account.
