Last month the Kapsule set of fragrances by Karl Lagerfeld finally hit stores. It seems I had read about them so long ago.
These are 3 scents that KL had developed, meant to be worn by men or women, and individually or mixed.
I can attest to the unisex factor in them, but I am not sure I would mix them. They seem fine each on their own.
The 3 scents are all nicely done , well blended and evolve from start to drydown. They also come in rather neat, geometric bottles in rich colors.
Floriental-This one is the least unisex to my nose and more feminine . It is very spicy right off , then some green notes , perhaps a little vetiver? As it dries down, it is a very warm fragrance. The smoky spiciness continues but not in a strong way . This is not a heavy scent or loud. It is actually soft with medium sillage. It seems sophisticated and by the drydown has become a bit more floral. This one comes in a dark red bottle I just love. ![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4aaLK16r_GS0UNXzyXhatBHKE_LPBZs5VGqSBeQPwOT2toTVw76_3Lo8wcxK7v2peE3CpcbTW0FxwursCMcB-NNEfRQypopSHvTfKVtRUPTEEqewv2TPvNmIelIVfvokIKtithgxCHSrM/s320/kapsule+2.jpg)

Light- The most masculine scent to me. Light is aquatic with a hint of sweetness( blood orange note). Nutmeg and Clove give a barely there spicy-ness. It has a musky edge at times and again, is not overly strong, but very long lasting. This has a resemblance to some other men's fragrances out there.
Woody- Again a very unisex composition. This one is all woods . You smell the forest, and moss. The plum note gives a bit of a dried fruit note midway, and mingles with the cedar. By the full drydown there is a incense note as well.
The scents are sold exclusively for now ( in US) at Neiman Marcus. International outlets listed on website.
$ 110.00 each for 2.5 oz. or the set of the three for 150.00 ( 3 one ounce bottles).
