Although this cologne is available at a lesser price than Lagerfeld Classic with the same antique notes, it can’t quite match the former in its dreamy scent. Furthermore, as is the case with many other perfumes, the reformulations down the years have ruined the original feel and grace of the perfume. Lagerfeld Classic by Karl Lagerfeld, released in 1978, is an Eau de Toilette formulated predominantly for men. This timeless scent has managed to maintain its appeal over the decades, with men making up the majority of its user base. Karl Lagerfeld for Her is a Fruity Floral dream that you can quite literally get lost in. The incredible aroma consumes your senses; it’s the perfect scent if you’re looking to bedazzle your date. This day scent is more suitable for a spring or a relatively cool summer day and a very safe scent if you don’t have the time to explore but don’t want to throw your money down the drain at the same time.

Thus, Lagerfeld Classic has several different variants. I will describe the version produced by Unilever. My bottle, judging by the distributor and the absence of the IFRA list, was released after 1992 (green dot). By the way, it's just Cologne, not Classic. The scent may feel a bit unisex due to the baby powder type of amber accord, but this shouldn’t stop you from trying it and wearing it. The whole niche fragrance world is now unisex, which I support.

Our liability is limited and excluded to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law. We will Lagerfeld Classic by Karl Lagerfeld is a men's perfume that features a prominent spicy and oriental scent. Its opening is marked by the sharp, clean aroma of aldehydes, which is balanced by the herbal notes of clary sage and the subtle anise-like scent of tarragon. The introduction of citrus elements, such as bergamot and lemon, along with green notes, adds a fresh twist to the top of the fragrance.

The design of the Lagerfeld Classic glass bottle is rather ordinary, a parallelepiped with rounded corners, and the bottle was easily recognized due to the ring on the stopper. For example, this ring allowed perfume fans to recognize the bottle on the edge of Tony Montana's Jacuzzi in Brian de Palma's movie, Scarface (1983), a ring that would later become the feature of Photo Lagerfeld as well. Recognition in the perfume world is very important, and the bottle has never changed; however, you can find several versions of the fragrance.I regard Lagerfeld Classic as an essential link in Western perfumery history. The link that connects men who wore powerful, long-sillaged, and complex designer fragrances like Lagerfeld Classic with their fathers who wore simpler mainstream fragrances like Jovan Musk For Men, and their sons and even grandchildren who are now choosing between niche Chergui Serge Lutens, Volutes Diptyque, and Tobacco Vanille Tom Ford. Even without being 100% sure from giving it a try from a tester bottle, something about the art deco bottle design, and that gorgeous orange liquid, made me buy it, and take a chance. In today’s perfume world, Lagerfeld Classic stands as a unique fragrance that if it was released by some niche brand with a much higher price, I wouldn’t be surprised if it was a hit. On the other hand, for someone under 30, the uniqueness of creation might not matter with all the dirty, spicy, and powdery vibes it has. Affordable, and well blended, but it has to be tested first. That funk is a combination of musks, leather, ambers, and dried tobacco. The musk here is not the same one as in Yves Saint Laurent Kouros, so don’t worry.

But the best is left at the end, and oh my God, is it gorgeous. I didn’t want you to feel scared of wearing something from the ’70s, but after a couple of wears, you will start to notice a strange “funk”, even at the first spray. I know I asked myself what is that note just outside my reach of getting what it really is, and it hit me. The most suitable seasons to wear is Fall and Winter as daytime scent. The work environment, leisure, and special occasions are when Classic feels the best. Dressed up or dressed down, you’ll find your own style where you feel it works the best. Obsession for Men is a Woody scent that smells very similar to Lagerfeld Classic yet, distinguished. As with Lagerfeld Classic, this one is also a fall/winter scent with an excellent sillage and longevity and offers good value for money. This is a perfume you wear for your own enjoyment and don’t think about whether will someone comment on how you smell good. Men and women over 30 can easily pull this one off, and younger consumers should test it out before purchasing to see if it blends well with their body chemistry and personality.I do feel like there might have been reformulations that toned down the richness just a bit, and the florals are barely noticeable if you “search” for them, which might be a good thing for some. The heart is powdery sandalwood and orris, rose-tinged yet fiercely masculine (in a 70s way), and the base is a hairy chest musky vanillic amber with that orris merging into tonka, which I find in other in frags as well and just love that symbiosis. Young folks, remember, I am 42, and I even I am pretty young for this according to the current mainstream, so beware, unless you truly appreciate the classics on even a higher echelon. Lagerfeld opens up orangy aldehydes that lift up the scent and give airy transparency that sits as the blanket over everything else in the first couple of minutes.
