KL Homme Karl Lagerfeld for men

In 1986 I had to get a large bottle that I used until the last drop. It was my signature. It boosted my confidence and commanded attention. I grabbed another bottle up before it was sadly discontinued.

The light oriental character is boldly presented. The patcholi-rose bond give it a powdery quality. Its not unlike a visit to an old fashioned barber. The jasmine is obvious. The drydown is nothing short of epic. Sweet creamy vanilla, cinnamon, amber and civety musk create a sexy aura.

Lagerfeld loved Shalimar and this is a loving tribute. When ever I need a bust of sunshine on a gloomy day, I wear it. Its great in the winter.

KL Homme is smooth and classy-smelling; there's no doubt about that. At the same time, it's a bit too powdery and borderline-feminine for my taste. I hate to be the first neutral on this one, but it's not something I'd wear. If I want a powdery fragrance, I'd much sooner reach for Tiffany for Men.

Don't let my opinion worry any hopes you might have about this - it's still worth trying and you may strike gold when you smell this. I didn't.

OMG! It's been 25 years and I totally forgot about this KL cologne. It was one of my favorites at the time. Back then, Lagerfeld Classic had been popular for a while, but it was a very strong scent and I didn't have enough confidence to wear it. So, I was so happy when "KL" came out, because it was lighter and better suited for my mid-20's age group. Ahhhh...I'd love to revisit this scent again. I doubt that I would wear KL today, but its smell would bring back fond memories.

Lot's of notes here. When the drydown arrives, I get clear notes of vanilla, castoreum (probably what they mean by "civet"), geranium, and spice (and there's obviously patchouli, though it's in more of a cream form). It's nicely blended and the quality of the ingredients seems high. I prefer this to Ungaro II, for example, because this is more complex and richer, but is not inferior to the Ungaro in any way (unless you want a more realistic civet note). If you want notes that are more pronounced, JHL might be for you, if you're seeking this kind of oriental (though JHL has a strong sandalwood note, whereas this one does not have a strong wood note of any kind). Longevity and projection/"sillage" are at least very good.

I totally agree with originaldeftom

Smells of "Laurence of Arabia"!

Wir sind begeistert.

My 2nd fragrance I ever owned and I was totally in love with it!
I used it around 1990/91 when the whole clubbing scene was at its peak so I have tons of good memories during cold Vienna winter nights, clubbing my young years away and meeting interesting people.
This is a mature and sophisticated scent, yet I love poudery and heavy orientals in the depth of winter.
Total classic, very rich and warm: think toffee, molasses, burnt caramel, vanilla, cream, nutmeg, clover, cinnamon, and all that other good stuff.

Smells of "Laurence of Arabia"! lol

Hard to find these days.

TOTAL CLASSIC!

A little too mature for my taste. In the same category as Oscar Pour Lui, Santos and Fendi. Of the three, I prefer Fendi... however, KL is next in line. I like that it tones down, and doesn't shout 80s.

Along with Lagerfeld Classic and Jako, KL Homme completes a kind of "holy trinity' of Lagerfeld fragrances for men. Karl Lagerfeld creates very appealing and refined perfumes. KL Homme is wonderfully exotic and elegant, yet very appropriate for almost any occasion. This beauty elicits many positive comments when I wear it. The citrus, floral and wood notes assert themselves individually and complement each other in a gorgeous medley of olfactory brilliance. Yes, I do love this juice!
