KL (1982)
by Lagerfeld

KL opens on a huge candied mandarin accord before filling out into a voluptuous, spicy-sweet oriental in an unapologetically bold, colorful style that has few proponents these days outside of Serge Lutens. Though soundly 1980s in flavor, KL is not oppressively loud. In fact, for a public used to wearing and smelling Angel, it’s actually quite polite in sillage and projection.

All the usual suspects are present: powdery amber, vanilla, indolic orange blossom, a touch of animalic musk, cinnamon and cloves. The notes are extremely well blended, so that KL comes off as a seamless, monolithic structure. Given KL’s sheer heft and intense sweetness, the liability involved is a certain tedium. The volume might not be offensive, but the looming, featureless presence becomes unsettling after an hour, then outright irritating after two. KL lacks the kind of complexity, eccentric edginess, or provocative accents that sustain interest in equally bold, sweet orientals like Eau Lente, Shaal Nur, Shalimar, or Maharanih. It’s a nice enough scent, but not something I’d be compelled to revisit.

Agree with Ubiandibeme, this is an intensely musky scent, very sexy, but for me, i see it as a bad version of Opium the parfum version,that alone does make it a good one, not a bad one, but it's still a bar below Opium parfum.
as opposed to both the edp or the edt. You have to have the right skin to use this one, or it will stink big time.
Still, it gets a thumbs up from me.

Technically, KL would be Opium's younger sister ~ as Opium's birthdate is 1977. Yet, KL is genetically so similar, it seems she and O could be fraternal twins! First & foremost, both scents are absolutely stunning! With that out of the way, here are some notes for KL:

orange spices, cinnamon
orchid
amber, vanilla, clove

No wonder everyone says "YUM" to this one!

Some notes for Opium:

rose, carnation, pepper, lily of the valley, sandalwood, clove

By olfactory comparison, KL's general impression is more creamy. Actually lots of amber going on here ~ so don't let the clove distract you! Also, the vanilla is everpresent ~ making this fabulous for daytime wear. Opium's presentation is more detailed, with a noteable floral tone; deep, rich & warm just perfect for evening. Heady too, definitely dressed-up! While KL hasn't received the same glory & attention Opium has, she is a stunning beauty for those who take the time to find her!

I would say Opium's younger sister - more retiring with a fruity roundness. Not as long lasting either (if I remember correctly. It's been almost thirty years since I wore Opium!) Nice enough, but a runner up in my opinion.

Opium's older sister -- and a very rich one, at that. YUMMY!

KL for women is so absolutely yummy & sexy! Its predominant notes are clove and tangerine, but it is smooth and rich, a little bit like Femme by Rochas. Very va va voom. Wear when you want to be delicious. One of my favorites.
