Widely regarded as a nihilistic masterpiece of modern literature, Bret Easton Ellis’s Less Than Zero defines the Brat Pack scene. Rendered in a neo-noir aesthetic, the film adaptation’s iconic wall of TVs perfectly encapsulates the 1980s excess — everything and nothing, all at once. The fragrance Less Than Zero interprets the immaculate world behind the gates of the young, rich, and untouchable: cream suits, silver metallic Walkmans, and Wayfarer sunglasses—nothing out of place.

It is the scent equivalent of an eternal afternoon by a Bel Air pool and driving too fast down Sunset Boulevard, just to feel anything at all. The result is private, pristine, and slightly unsettling — a scent at once as smooth and delicate as crystal glass.

I’m delighted to present the collaboration 19-69 x Bret Easton Ellis, Less Than Zero Eau Fraiche. Fragrance notes include Orris Butter, Rosewood, and Musk.
