Flankermania ... now also at Lagerfeld?
My first review here on Parfumo was about "Lagerfeld Cologne/Classic"
This fragrance is my signature scent, as it evokes the most emotional memories.
So I was naturally curious when a flanker was announced...
When I saw that it was available at DM, I immediately had my wife pick it up for me. At first, the two statements had put me off... but as always, I prefer to form my own opinion.
My impression:
I wore the fragrance in a "full body test" and my impression is as follows.
As the fragrance pyramid shows, this is a woody scent with a linear progression. Sandalwood and cedarwood are dominant here, which is why I also get these "pencil shaving" vibes.
It directly reminds me of two fragrances with a similar DNA (wood):
- Montana Graphite
- Mauboussin Une Histoire d'Homme Irrésistible
Both work with these woods, and Montana Graphite is the closest to Lagerfeld Classic Grey.
These three fragrances have one thing in common for me... they seem very "weak" in terms of sillage. Other people, however, do perceive them...
If you spray the fragrance under your shirt on your chest, it develops into this warm woody scent with a slight vanilla sweetness... still noticeable after 3-4 hours, but rather a skin-close scent.
My conclusion:
I didn't expect a true OG flanker, and "Grey" has nothing in common with the OG DNA. As an independent fragrance, it would be better positioned in the market.
It is a woody-spicy scent that, in my opinion, doesn't clash anywhere, but also doesn't make you stand out from the crowd.
But do you expect that from a 20-euro drugstore fragrance?
The times of KL Homme & Co. are (unfortunately) over... but not just at Lagerfeld.
Still, it doesn't deserve such negative reviews, just my 50 cents.

Würde ihn aber nicht im Hochsommer tragene, für mich etwas für die Übergänge oder den Winter.
Für mich ist er leider unrund.
Dennoch finde ich es schön, dass er Dir zusagt.

Ab und an stört mich die Süße mit dem Holz in Kombination.
Den Lagerfeld von damals fand ich nicht so gut.
Bei der Neuauflage (in grau) mit dem bekannten Design wäre ich mit Vorsicht heran gegangen. Jetzt nach dieser guten Beschreibung teste ich den bedenkenlos.
Danke.
Auch für mich birgt der Lagerfeld Cologne/Classic die meisten Erinnerungen an meine Jugend, neben Joop Homme & Dior Fahrenheit...in späteren Jahren. Auch wenn der "Grey" nicht annähernd daran anknüpfen kann, ist er einen Riecher wert ;-)
Wenn Dir der Montana Graphite nicht zusagt, dann wirst Du Dich mit dem neuen Lagerfeld auch schwer tun. Der hat meiner Meinung nach eine sehr ähnliche DNA und diese "holzige Süße". Anscheinend liebt oder "hasst" man die ;-)
Ja, ich finde solche Bewertungen einfach nur traurig und nicht aussagekräftig...
Zur Probe Mal auf den Handrücken sprühen und sich eine eigene Meinung bilden, das sollte es einem Wert sein ;-)
Blindkauf, eher nicht.
