Description

Combining beauty, culture, and the art of living, Saint Germain won over Karl Lagerfeld’s heart the moment he arrived in Paris. Its unique atmosphere and way of life immediately captivated the designer, who decided to make this neighbourhood the centre of his world, establishing his offices and studio at 21 Rue Saint-Guillaume. The contrast of mandarin and grapefruit against the green freshness of crushed violet leaves is immediate and captures attention. This sets the stage for a rich texture of rose, jasmine, and gardenia bouquets – three essential components of French perfumery. A captivating blend of patchouli and sandalwood is released alongside woody notes reminiscent of Saint-Germain-des-Prés’ legendary cafés and bookshops. A velvety musk paves the way to timeless elegance. Top notes: mandarin, grapefruit. Heart notes: rose, jasmine, gardenia. Base notes: patchouli, sandalwood, musk.
