Karl Otto Lagerfeld also called Kaiser Karl, lived from 10 September 1933 until 19 February 2019. He was a German fashion designer, photographer, and creative director.

Lagerfeld began his career in fashion in the 1950s, working for several top fashion houses including Balmain, Patou, and Chloé before joining Chanel in 1983. As the creative director of Chanel from 1983 until his death, he oversaw every aspect of the fashion house's creative output, from designing collections to photographing advertising campaigns and arranging store displays. He was instrumental in revitalizing the Chanel brand, helping it regain its position as one of the top fashion houses in the world. He was also creative director of the Italian fur and leather goods fashion house Fendi, as well as his own eponymous fashion label. Throughout his career, he collaborated on numerous fashion, design, and art-related projects, and his photography was exhibited in galleries and collected in published volumes.

Lagerfeld was recognised for his signature white hair, black sunglasses, fingerless gloves, and high-starched detachable collars.

In 1984, a year after his start at Chanel, Lagerfeld began his own eponymous "Karl Lagerfeld" brand with a focus on ready-to-wear clothing. The brand was established to channel "intellectual sexiness". Lagerfeld had signed an agreement with Bidermann Industries USA, giving them ownership and licensing rights to fashion labels he produced. Lagerfeld ended the agreement with Bidermann in 1989. That same year, Lagerfeld launched two Karl Lagerfeld brand menswear lines.

In September 2010, the Couture Council of The Museum at the Fashion Institute of Technology presented Lagerfeld with an award created for him, The Couture Council Fashion Visionary Award, at a benefit luncheon at Avery Fisher Hall, in New York City.

Karl Lagerfeld perfume offers a range of fragrances for both men and women, blending tradition with modern luxury, and is known for its innovative and high-quality fragrances. The brand's journey in perfume started in the 1970s, and the perfume line has evolved significantly, with new collections like the "Karl Lagerfeld Places" series continuing to offer a luxury fragrance experience. Popular fragrances include the classic woody oriental scent of Lagerfeld Classic, the fresh and fruity Karl Lagerfeld For Her, and modern offerings like Bois De Vétiver and Fleur De Pecher.

"This perfume has a beautifully lilting orange top note fused with rose, ylang ylang, Jamaica pepper, and an emotively gentle vanilla and benzoin balsam base" The Black Narcissus

It is heady but sophisticated, with excellent longevity and sillage .. The complex layering of notes, especially the transition from bright spices to a warm, animalic base, was a hallmark of the scent. The original KL perfume was discontinued in the 1990s and is now difficult to find.

Offered here is an absolutely pristine half ounce bottle of this fragrance masterpiece. It comes in both its inner and outer presentation boxes ..
