Karl Lagerfeld

Renowned fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld left an indelible mark on the world of fashion in the 20th century. Born in 1933, Lagerfeld's talents as a photographer, fashion designer, and creative visionary shone brightly in the realms of haute couture and prêt-à-porter. In 1974, Lagerfeld made his initial foray into the world of artistic creations, with the launch of his first fragrance, "Chloé for Women", in collaboration with the esteemed French luxury fashion house. Over the years, Lagerfeld's olfactory offerings expanded to include a range of fragrances for both men and women, such as "Sun Moon Stars" (1994), "Femme" (2000), "Lagerfeld Photo" (1990), "Jako" (1997), and "Lagerfeld Man" (2002). Known for its opulent and luxurious appeal, the brand "Karl Lagerfeld" underwent a revitalization in 2014, with the introduction of "Karl Lagerfeld Pour Homme" for men and "Karl Lagerfeld" for women. This marked the beginning of a series of distinctive releases that culminated in the creation of the "Les parfums matières" collection in 2018. In his illustrious career, Lagerfeld collaborated with over 20 perfumers to develop a total of 40 fragrances from 1975 to 2022. These signature scents bore the Karl Lagerfeld name, although some were crafted as commissioned projects for renowned entities like "Unilever", "Coty", "Fabergé", and "H&M". Throughout his lifetime, Lagerfeld's artistic legacy extended beyond fashion to encompass all the senses, with his fragrance bottles embodying sophistication, creativity, originality, and innovation. In 2019, Lagerfeld passed away due to health complications, leaving behind a rich tapestry of creative contributions that continue to resonate with admirers worldwide.
