The House of Karl Lagerfeld continues to expand its KARL IKONIK line with KARL IKONIK ABSOLU, a new duo designed to offer greater depth and intensity. Following the 2024 launch of KARL IKONIK and its sculptural bottle featuring the couturier’s iconic silhouette, this Absolu variation asserts a denser, more addictive style, while retaining the collection’s collector’s item DNA.

Two fragrances, two perfumers’ signatures.

On one side, Emilie Coppermann and Pierre Guéros have jointly created KARL IKONIK ABSOLU POUR HOMME. A captivating woody-spicy signature, crafted around a top note that blends Guatemalan cardamom essence, pink pepper, and orange blossom absolute. The heart reveals white cedar essence, enriched with a hint of pineapple and clary sage, before melting into a more sensual warmth. Ambergris and Madagascar bourbon vanilla absolute sign the trail.

On the other hand, perfumers Louise Turner and Quentin Bisch have created KARL IKONIK ABSOLU POUR FEMME, a voluptuous, fruity-floral fragrance. The top notes feature juicy, sweet cherry pulp energized by green mandarin essence and pink pepper. The heart reveals a bouquet of jasmine and peonies, illuminated by an original syrup accord, described as ultra-seductive. At the base, the sensuality lingers in a creamy duo of musk and Madagascar vanilla, for a lasting veil.
