Metropolitan Fougere
*UPDATED: This fragrance has the dubious honor of being Karl Lagerfeld's worst release, but it’s still not a bad fragrance.
It may not be memorable, but it isn’t exactly generic either because it’s quite different from what is being done now: I can distinguish it among thousands fragrances in the same place… So it's not that generic, huh..?
KL for him is fresh but dark, and modern but retro… All at the same time.
This juice opens with a nice fresh orange & lavander combo, supported by apple and violet notes in a nice and uplifting pseudo-synthetic accord that slowly evolves into a woody and definitely musky dry-down, with some kind of sandalwood and amber as base notes.
- Longevity ranges from 6 to 8h+ on skin.
*For those who have doubts: Spray your clothes with this fragrance and put them in the closet. Smell it after two days: it's still there, right..?
This fragrance in particular has a moderate-to-intimate projection but lasts a long time, especially in clothing.
- It has excellent versatility: All year round & all ocassions. KL for Him feels great in a dark suit... And I like it for office & business; this juice radiates confidence, seriousness and determination. Curiously, it's a fragrance that generates spontaneous compliments frequently (more than some famous ones that should give better results...).
Age: All, but >25 better.
Best of all: Right now, for the price at discounters it's a bargain.
The Bad: Discontinuation winds are blowing…
