LES PARFUMS VIENNA EAU DE TOILLETE

VIENNA – OPÉRAThe capital of artists and intellectuals, forever the chosen home of writers, painters, musicians, philosophers, psychoanalysts and architects. Vienna is known for its legendary opera, its packed cafés full of people setting the world to rights, the Danube glistening like a mirror with its soft green banks… Past and present, the city of dreams inspires the collective imagination well beyond Austrian borders with its powerful legends.Karl Lagerfeld and Vienna: from 1980 to 1983, Karl Lagerfeld taught art at the Vienna University of Applied Arts, in a sumptuous 19th-century building. This hub for Viennese culture, which houses an astounding number of masterpieces, amplified his love of painting.VIENNA, a fougère with invigorating accentsAn essential piece in a man’s fragrance collection, a fougère is shrouded in comforting woods, cedar and sandalwood, to lend warmth without losing any of its legendary intensity. A hint of spicy grapefruit, an unexpected hit of aromatic freshness, gives the scent an irresistible twist.The inspiration of the nose, Aliénor Massenet (who composed the men’s fragrance New York - Mercer Street) from Symrise:“To recreate the very distinctive atmosphere of Karl’s beloved city, I wanted to work with a classic structure elevated by a hint of impertinence. A way of celebrating the freethinkers of the previous century, their unconventional ideas and their undeniable influence on Vienna’s history and renown.”A MODERN SHOWCASEThe bottles of the PLACES BY KARL collection, identical for both the eau de parfum and the eau de toilette (in 100 ml and 60 ml versions), reveal the clean lines of glass apothecary vials – objects whose minimalist, unpretentious look Karl Lagerfeld loved. The label of each fragrance bottle is a reference to the couturier’s drawings, made from textured white paper framed by a red border. It features the iconic “Karl” signature in black lettering.
