Kapsule Woody

Kapsule Woody by Karl Lagerfeld holds a special place in my fragrance collection, not only for its distinct aroma but also for its rarity. It's a gem that's often hard to come by at cologne testing counters, making it a unique find and, in my opinion, one of the most well-crafted flankers in the series. This fragrance takes me back to the era of sweet-musky powerhouses, reminiscent of classics like Alexander Julian's Colours or Lagerfeld Classic. There's a comforting predictability to Kapsule Woody, radiating a warmth and class that feels timeless and fitting for various occasions. The inclusion of fennel as a key note is a defining element, expertly complemented by the vanilla and patchouli accords in the foundation. The result is a fragrance that exudes a sense of class, making it effortlessly wearable for different settings. What stands out for me is its simplicity and stability. Kapsule Woody doesn't strive for complexity or chaos; instead, it remains steadfast in delivering a scent experience that is both pleasing to the wearer and those around. I appreciate the subtle interplay of plum, cedar, and oakmoss, which adds layers to the overall composition. It's a fragrance that seems purposefully designed to do exactly what it achieves: to bring delight to both the one wearing it and those catching a whiff. Knowing that it has been discontinued adds a bittersweet touch, making it a precious part of my collection that pays homage to the legacy of Karl Lagerfeld. Rest in peace, Great Lagerfeld.

Chemical Velvet (Olivier Cresp, 2008) Bottle Design: Lutz Herrmann Karl Lagerfeld, a big name in clothing industry. Unfortunately has inadequate treatment in fragrance, although this fragrance is very interesting. Kapsule Woody is a terrific synthetic contemporary scent, little bit more leaning towards masculine. It's almost linear and has dominant Iso E Super, shadowy woody note. Beside cedar also is prominent some plumy fruit note. I can detect some cinnamon and breezy artificial white flowers as well. Beautiful smell of chemical wood with blue trees, yellow grass and purple haze on the move. Chemical velvet that surrounds my skin, a liquid olfactive LSD inside of blue bottle. Organic chemistry at its finest. Rating: 7/10

Wow, I have tried many KL perfumes, I always ended up giving them away to my friends and family , I was to the point to give up from this house until this one. I love woody fragrances and the branding called me. This is really a masterpiece, I will keep just this one from this house and make some buck up. Woody in a sophisticated way with some booziness, and it lasts longer than any KL scent. Indubitably niche quality 9/10

I really love this perfume. I like it cause its not sweet and not too spicy. Feels clean and classy. Even one of my friends who is into the sweet scents, like, CH Good girl and all the juicy sweet ones, like it very much she might even buy it. Oh and also one time my other friend sit in my car and asked me "What's this dentist's smell???" Yeah it was KAPSULE :D
