KL by Karl Lagerfeld: launched in 1982. Created by Roger Pellegrino of Firmenich. KL, a blend of lush fruits, sumptuous flowers, intense spices, smoldering woods, amber and myrrh, was aimed at the woman with "a divine kind of madness," said the publicity material.
Originally, Lagerfeld's perfume was to have been called Fantastic, a play on the designer's longtime love of fans, which he obsessively collected. Copyright problems necessitate the change of name to the rather subdued KL."I'm mad for perfumes, I could make one every week," said Lagerfeld in the film Karl Lagerfeld. "Chloe was a fragrance of the 70s, KL is a fragrance of the 80s."
