Lagerfeld Classic (for men)

'The box...you opened it. We came'

Sorry but I'm 100% with Chat Lunatique's brilliant review on this one...it's like something one of the Cenobites would wear in Clive Barker's 'Hellraiser'. It's cloying; nasty; and total torture to the poor recipient who has to smell this menacing and haunting fragrance. Did Karl Lagerfeld have nails in his head when this was conceived? SHOCKING!!
You'd be better off solving the 'puzzle box' and being torn apart in hell than opening a box of this misery!

This is quite possibly the most disgusting thing I have ever smelled on a man. The operative philosophy in its creation must have been that men can wear old-school, ladylike, powdery fragrances and seem quite effete and worldly by doing so. And since Lagerfeld himself is such a dandy supreme, I suspect that the powdery attitude of this fragrance was quite intentionally along feminine-fragrance lines. And that's certainly a noble enough motive --intriguing, really.
The problem is, it was so cheaply done, it was disastrous. Really, it is absurdly crappy-smelling -- like a designer impostor of some already junky women's scent, perhaps White Shoulders; it makes Vanderbilt and Raffinee seem positively austere, elegant, and crisp.

So, gentlemen, if you'd care to take a powdery jaunt down Dandy Lane, do yourselves a favor: pick up an old tried-and-true classic -- Vol de Nuit, L'Heure Bleue, Arpege, Le Dix, Chanel 5, Habit Rouge even ... Just steer clear of this one. I will thank you for it.

I loved it then, but I'd rather be scent-free than be caught dead in it now. So strong and overbearing, just like the time it was meant for!

I like it, it`s warm and trustworthy...For a sweet, loving, kind man! It does not have vivacity of the newer perfumes, but it`s very comforting, like a handshake or a big bear hug. I dislike KL, and I avoid smelling his creations, but could not pass this one by.

Paradoxically to what people think: "this is an outdated perfume and suits my father best", this was my first ever fragrance that I bought myself, lol. I was only a late teenager then, hahahaha...but perhaps this is the very point I was trying to go bolder than "Old Spice" lol
Reminds me of vanilla, old leathers and woods, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, peppers, and so on....all of that soaked in maple syrup with a dash of lemon...accurate?

One of the most sweets and velvety fragrance for men that i've ever smelled... very, very, very long lasting and distinctive... but nothing special for my taste.
One point to favor of this fragrance: my memories when i was a child :) For me, its an early reference about how is the smell of men perfumes...

I agree with rebella, definitely dated. Distinct tobacco scent, very masculine and lasts hours. Used to be my favorite back in the early '80s, but haven't worn Lagerfeld since the early '90s.

My husband had this when it was quite new and popular. I like´d it then and I think it was a very comforting, soft and masculine. Unfortunatly I think it´s a bit outdated now, and a fragrance that suites older gentlemen best... maybe my father. :)
