We start this wintertime tour with the illustrious fashion house of Karl Lagerfeld, which unveils two new captivating fragrances, paying homage to the unique world of the legendary designer. For instance, Karl Ikonik Pour Femme, a floral, amber and woody eau de parfum, embodies contemporary elegance in a bold bottle, reproducing Karl Lagerfeld’s iconic character silhouette (photo credits: Karl Lagerfeld).
Imagined by perfumer Marie Salamagne, this fragrance revisits jasmine with modern nuances of golden rose geranium, including various top notes of blended raspberry, mandarin and rose, preserving a heart of sambac jasmine, hazelnut macaroon and tuberose. To conclude with a creamy base, made of sandalwood, vetiver and musks, to bring a genuine captivating warmth.
In another way, Karl Ikonik Pour Homme offers a unique sensory energy, perfect for any pleasant days. This woody and spicy fragrance opens with notes of geranium, followed by an exotic touch of coconut leaf in the heart. The base, composed of tonka beans and woody accords, offers a warm and dynamic character.
In summary, these two creations invite you to embrace a bold and timeless style, offering everyone the opportunity to stand out with panache for this holiday season. Embodied in avant-garde and sculptural packagings, you’re eventually invited to enhance them as decorative elements!

Thereafter, we follow with the Italian touch by Guess, with its Amore quatuor, as a true scented ode to Italy. For your information, Guess just unveiled this Amore collection, through four unisex fragrances, all inspired by iconic Italian destinations, such as Roma, Capri, Portofino and Venice. These creations capture the romantic and timeless essence from each of those places. It seems that Amore Roma is a fruity and oriental breeze, able to blend blackcurrant and pear with a heart of jasmine and praline rose, on amber and woody bases, while Amore Capri displays a hint of woody and floral essences, evoking citrus fruits and solar flowers, balanced by cedar and ambrox. Without forgetting Amore Portofino, a woody and fruity spirit, marrying citrus fruits and Mediterranean nuances on a base of musk and salty vetiver, before ending on Amore Venezia, standing here out towards an amber and floral feeling, featuring sublime iris and rose, along a touch of vanilla and suede. In a way, each fragrance evokes a sensory getaway, perfect for all Italy lovers (photo credits: Guess).
