Powerful and Romantic
This review is about the original (1978, EDT pre-reformulation) Karl Lagerfeld Cologne for Men “splash” (now called the “Karl Lagerfeld Classic”).
A comfortable leather jacket that opens leaving a trail of honey and incense. There is an aura of musky spice, nutmeg, tarragon and aniseed, and a sweetly scented tobacco from a pipe that comes from childhood memories.
Karl Lagerfeld for Men opens with lemon and orange blossom that fade to be replaced by notes of tarragon, anise, nutmeg and cinnamon on top of pure golden honey and amber.
Over time, the creamy leather accord and honey get stronger, but there begins to be a slight scent of powdery rose and a hint of jasmine, mixed with resins.
The leather (sandalwood + iris?) is a direct cousin of the Knize Ten and is warmed by the warmth of tonka bean, sandalwood and musk.
We feel powerful and capable of leading a fascinating and romantic adventure.
If Puredistance's M is compared to the interior lining of James Bond's car with Daniel Craig behind the wheel then this Lagerfeld will be the leather of Sean Connery's Aston Martin DB5 chasing Goldfinger.
Referred to by some as the male version of Shalimar, it differs from subsequent reformulations because these new versions only smell like “cheap synthetics” with a hint of synthetic Musk and because they have “Karl Lagerfeld Classic” written on the box and bottle.
