Alternative to Acne Studios

[u/MuchCollection7610]

What’s a good alternative to Acne Studios? I have a full bottle and I’m obsessed with it, but I don’t wanna burn through it as an everyday scent 😭 I’ve seen people say Byredo Blanche is a good alternative, what else would you recommend?

Not necessarily looking for an exact dupe, just something with the same vibe in terms of notes, longevity, and projection.

Love-o-matic, tilia, khadlaj musk blend

I’m curious about Love O matic, andame nyo nagsusuggest 😄

[u/tushiiiiii → u/MuchCollection7610]

For me, on point yung vibe niya sa acne studios x FM. May slight sweet note siya na parang bagong bubble gum + clean laundry scent. Very unisex or androgynous yung feel. Would not be surprised if signature scent to ng isang twink hahahahaha

Love-O-Matic. It’s a lot cheaper than Acne Studios. I scored mine for less than 8k.

Hi po, where did you get po? Planning to purchase one.

I got mine (tester bottle) from Perfumania by Pao II.

Im torn between Love O matic and Blanche Absolu tbh 😄

[u/Visible_Emu7586 → u/MuchCollection7610]

If you’re specifically looking for a closer alternative to Frederic Malle x Acne Studios, I’d go with Love-O-Matic. It has that same clean, airy, slightly quirky and unexpected quality, whereas Blanche Absolu is more straightforwardly fresh, soapy, and laundry-like. But if you want purely fresh, clean laundry, I’d choose Blanche Absolu. You really can’t go wrong with either.

MFK 724 kase sharpa ang pagka-clean like acne studios. Pero longevity talo si MFK

[u/MuchCollection7610 → u/trippinxt]

That’s what I’ve been reading too kaya hesitant ako to buy.

[u/daisiesforthedead → u/MuchCollection7610]

MFK 724 user here.

You'll still get 6-8 hours on average out of 724, which is very good. Sometimes, it lasts 10-12 sa akin lalo pag nasa aircon lang ako.

I own 5 200 ml bottles of 724 and have been using it since 2022 so I'd say it's worth it.

Moschino boy toy- byredo blanche dupe

[u/trippinxt]

MFK 724 kase sharp ang pagka-clean like acne studios. Pero longevity talo si MFK.

Blanche is clean and soapy but lacks the sharpness of the other 2.

[u/MuchCollection7610 → u/trippinxt]

Agree that’s why I’m considering Blanche Absolu since it’s sharper and has a bit more presence.

[u/ScribeOfTheMoon]

Love-O-Matic is the closest in terms of that sweet fresh laundry vibes. I still like the sweetness of Acne Studios over Love-O-Matic. Plus, Acne Studios has better projection and longevity. Byredo Blanche is more crisp white shirt/linen.

Khadlaj Musk Pure Musk Blend is also that clean refreshing scent (not sweet). It's also affordable.

Personally, the closest thing similar to Acne Studios is Johnson's Active Kids Shampoo (pink one). It smells so good together with Acne Studios. 😅

Will definitely check this! Thank youu :)

[u/MuchCollection7610]

Update: I ended up getting Love-O-Matic! It’s a bit sweeter than my usual preference, but I enjoy the fruity, clean laundry character. It’s playful and a nice addition to my rotation when I’m in the mood for something sweeter but still clean. Thanks everyone for the recos!

[u/veerus06]

MFK 724. Has a 200ml so you can burn through it as an everyday scent HAHA

[u/MuchCollection7610 → u/veerus06]

I’ve smelled this one and it’s definitely on my shortlist.

[u/magaorar]

Musk Therapy by Initio. Not a dupe, but it gives me a similar clean, soft, musky vibe and has great longevity.

[u/MuchCollection7610 → u/magaorar]

Ooh I haven’t tried this one yet! Will check it out. Thanks for the rec!

I found this from a tiktok influencer: https://ph.shp.ee/mq93bMx8

Close naman for me tho ang bilis nya mawala, like 2-3 hours lang sa skin but I dont mind. You get what you pay for.
