Classique Perdu, launched by Comme des Garçons in 2025 and crafted by perfumer Suzy Le Helley, captures the essence of Rei Kawakubo's avant-garde vision. The composition opens with a surprising note of tomato leaf, which creates an unexpected freshness alongside blackcurrant and lavender. This aromatic green opening gives way to the heart notes of clary sage, rose, and iris, adding depth and warmth. A powdery suede base anchors the fragrance, supported by evernyl, sandalwood, and styrax, creating a harmonious blend that is both modern and classic.

Application Tips
Apply this fragrance lightly to let the layers unfold naturally. The tomato leaf note is bright but fleeting, so wait for the heart notes to emerge before reapplying if needed. Ideal for a modern office or an evening out, where its powdery base will keep you feeling grounded.
Suzy Le Helley
Founding perfumer · 14 fragrances
For the realm of perfume, the perfumer Suzy Le Helley crafts a fragrance of contrasts for Acne Studios by Frédéric Malle: an aldehydic introduction followed by a gourmand heart. Suzy draws inspiration from the diversity of plants, scents and flavours that she discovers in her daily life and on her travels, where she frequently meets producers of natural raw materials. Passionate about botany since childhood, she has also developed a taste for synthesis, and synthetic materials, which expands the palette and creative output of perfumers. Le Helley likes short, precise, easy-to-read formulas, where each ingredient is carefully administered to deliver a clear message. “A perfume must smell like themessage it is sending, with technicalmastery always at the service of theaesthetic and the emotion”
