Latest Reviews of Lagerfeld Classic

Cool cologne that’s completely unwearable. There’s a bit of grandmas perfume floating around in there too. My nana who was 84 when she passed, that was in 1994, exclusively wore up until her death Germaine Monteil’s Royal Secret pure perfume from 1935. I remember it vividly. The overall aroma and feel of Lagerfeld reminds me strongly of this perfume.
This review is based off of an original formula splash flacon of Lagerfeld Cologne with the frosted sides. The color of the liquid looks like root beer.

Powdery, classical fragrance that relies on spice, wood and amber with a lot of extremely dense detail complimenting it and requiring many wears and time spent with it to really uncover it's beautiful complexity. This one starts off fresh and aromatic with citrus embellishments mingling with the aldehyde but quickly supported by the powerful tobacco, sandalwood, amber and florals that give Lagerfeld Classic a very heavy spice rock and oriental presence that is warm and rich in cold weather. If you're looking about blind buying this, you have to ask yourself one question. Do feel like getting lucky with a special old lady? Performance used to be absolute beast mode. The current formulation is good at +8 hours with good projection at the beginning.
Happy Nowruz!

My oh my, this is time travel, this is a precious elixir capturing another era, a reminder of many rugged, dapper souls who have come and gone. It took me back at least 30+ years. I remember this, it was deep in the recesses of my memories. Would I wear this out? You bet your sweet bippy I would, and I would strut with aplomb and pay no mind to naysayers.
This opens with a fierce blast of aldehydes, citrus, and tarragon. I am thrilled that these top notes were preserved as we frag heads know that most of the time, a vintage acquisition is a major risk where top notes are completely off, terpene degradation smells like death warmed over in an art studio, alcohols are tragically acetylated to Cutex, and you cry as you wait for that hellfire meltdown settles and hope the heart is salvaged. Not here, my friends, I scored jackpot (perhaps smaller bottles are less likely to turn so wildly?).
The heart is powdery sandalwood and orris, rose-tinged yet fiercely masculine (in a 70s way), and the base is a hairy chest musky vanillic amber with that orris merging into tonka, which I find in other in frags as well and just love that symbiosis. Young folks, remember, I am 42, and I even I am pretty young for this according to the current mainstream, so beware, unless you truly appreciate the classics on even a higher echelon.
Who's your daddy?

Smells lovely, strong, masculine and have great sillage and longevity, at least on my skin.
The drydown reminds me of Kouros, its sexy and animalistic.
