About This Perfume
Karl Lagerfeld Rouge by Karl Lagerfeld is a fragrance for women. Karl Lagerfeld Rouge was launched in 2024. The nose behind this fragrance is Romain Almairac. Top notes are Black Currant, Pear and Peach; middle notes are Patchouli, Orange Blossom and Jasmine; base notes are Cashmere Wood, Ambroxan, Vanilla and Caramel. Nearly a decade later, the legendary scent by Karl Lagerfeld makes a comeback under the new form "Rouge," a nod to one of the designer's most cherished colors. Crafted by perfumer Romain Almairac of Robertet, the fragrance is described as "distinct, contemporary, and enthralling." Almairac drew inspiration from Karl Lagerfeld's multifaceted creative world, where varying realms merge to form intriguing contrasts. This theme of duality is woven into the essence of the new Eau de Parfum, marrying traditional influences with a modern, cutting-edge flair. At its outset, Rouge captivates with a radiant blend of jasmine, orange blossom, and patchouli. This initial freshness evolves into a rich medley of peach, pear, and blackcurrant notes. The scent's foundation is a luxurious mix of cashmere wood and ambroxan, enriched with smooth vanilla and caramel for a cozy, gentle conclusion. The fragrance achieves a harmonious balance, offering a surprising yet cohesive aromatic experience. Top notes: blackcurrant, pear, peach Middle notes: jasmine, orange blossom, patchouli Base notes: ambroxan, vanilla, cashmere wood, caramel The fragrance's vessel retains the iconic, timeless architecture of the original Karl Lagerfeld Pour Femme Eau de Parfum bottle: a sleek glass structure topped with a clear lid, accented by a spiked metal ring. The bottle undergoes a striking transformation with the addition of a mesmerizing red hue, adorned with the renowned Karl Lagerfeld emblem and the "rouge" inscription in a contemporary, graffiti-inspired typeface. Available as 45ml and 85ml Eau de Parfum.
