Today marks a new chapter in KARL LAGERFELD’s scent story with the introduction of a fragrance duo that resonates more profoundly than ever with the legendary personality of the designer:
KARL IKONIK pour femme, a luminous woody amber floral, and KARL IKONIK pour homme, a bold ambery fougère, each embody a modern scent presented in innovative and emblematic bottle designs that reflect Karl Lagerfeld’s unmistakable silhouette—one of the most renowned in the world of fashion.
Crafted from glass with a chrome finish meticulously selected for each eau de parfum:
- Rose gold for KARL IKONIK pour femme, reflecting one of the designer’s preferred hues.
- Silver for KARL IKONIK pour homme, echoing the brand’s signature metal.”
These bottles encapsulate the designer’s quintessential attitude—his poised stance, distinct posture, recognisable fingerless gloves, and the renowned ponytail. Achieving this noteable design involved numerous refinements, making these more than just fragrance bottles but coveted collector’s items.
Each fragrance box, adorned with a holographic rendition of Karl Lagerfeld’s silhouette, complements the bottle’s color, further celebrating the legacy of one of fashion’s most influential figures.
TWO EAU DE PARFUMS WITH THE FEEL OF FUTURE CLASSICS
KARL IKONIK pour femme: a dazzling, sensual gourmand floral
Raspberry and rose take flight in a burst of freshness. A white bouquet of jasmine sambac and tuberose then spreads its soft luminosity, revealing the delicious delicacy of hazelnut macaron. Smooth and creamy enveloping sandalwood, combined with Haitian vetiver, warms the ensemble, imprinting the skin with a subtle sensuality.
“I wanted to create a fragrance that reinterpreted jasmine, tinged with the rose-gold nuances of geranium, with opulent, modern reflections. At the base, the roundness of creamy sandalwood blends perfectly with soft jasmine petals.”
Marie Salamagne
KARL IKONIK pour homme: an original intense ambery fougère
Tonka bean, the composition’s key ingredient, is explored here in its entirety, revealing a salty facet with gourmand accents. The depth of coconut wood ‘holds the note’ without faltering, softened by sandalwood cream. The fresh top notes—sage essence, fresh Madagascan ginger, mandarin leaf and orange blossom absolute—give this revisited fougère a long-lasting sillage.
“We created this eau de parfum because we wanted to explore tonka bean from top to bottom and create an innovative, signature masculine note. We’ve done this through crisp combinations that convey a certain confidence and great intensity.”
Emilie Coppermann and Pierre Guéros
