The Story
Lagerfeld Classic Cologne is a crisp, invigorating take on the original 1978 classic. It opens with bright citrus and lavender, then settles into a clean, soapy floral heart with a touch of spice. The base is a soft, warm blend of musk, sandalwood, and tonka bean. It's a no-fuss, everyday scent that feels both timeless and refreshing.
