Karl Lagerfeld introduces new fragrance in Europe
It’s not unusual for designers and celebrities to put their name on fragrances. German designer Karl Lagerfeld’s new scent, named Karleidoscope, is a play on his name and the design of the bottle.
“I love to play with words, as I love to play with scents,” Lagerfeld told Women’s Wear Daily. “A fragrance is not made to be explained by words. A mix of scents creates something we can smell but not describe. … I prefer a sentimental approach.”
The bottle top is a faceted lens through which you can see several silhouettes of Lagerfeld. “It is a very simple idea but worked out in a refined, detailed way,” he said of the bottle design.
The scent features notes of violet, angelica, freesia, heliotrope, patchouli, tonka bean and benzoin.
The only drawback? The eau de parfum is available exclusively in European Sephora stores.
