KARL LAGERFELD finally lifted the veil on his highly awaited debut fragrance line with an event in Paris.

The women’s scent was created by Christine Nagel and Serge Majoullier, who explained: “creating a fragrance for Karl Lagerfeld is translating a whole universe of fabrics, sophisticated cuts, textures, strong values and images.”

The “olfactive fabric” opens with lemon and peach, working its way to a heart of rose, magnolia and plumeria with basenotes of musk, amber and woods.

The men’s fragrance was concocted by Jean-Christophe Hérault, who described how he had translated Karl’s “Black and White emblematic colors into a contrast of expressive and sensual raw materials.”

The juice opens with lavender and mandarin zest, developing a crisp heart of apple and violet leaves, with a sandalwood and amber drydown.

The line will be available exclusively at Galeries Lafayette and BHV Marais in Paris and in Karl Lagerfeld boutiques.
