Photo

Photo from Karl Lagerfeld, released in 1990, is a classic woody, floral and citrus masculine with a warm, honeyed core. Wood leads, with flowers and citrus strongly present and spicy, sweet and green tones behind.

It opens bright and aromatic: bergamot, mandarin orange and lemon give citrus sparkle, lavender a herbal freshness, aldehydes a clean, soapy lift and galbanum a sharp green snap. The heart is rich and floral, with rose, jasmine, cyclamen and carnation forming a soft bouquet, honey a golden sweetness and caraway and coriander a savoury spice. The base is warm and layered, with sandalwood, guaiac wood, cedar and patchouli giving wood, oakmoss an earthy depth, and tonka bean, benzoin and amber a smooth sweetness.

Its mix of freshness and honeyed warmth suits cooler days, the office and evenings. It will appeal to someone who enjoys a traditional, refined masculine.
