  |  intense blast of citrus and lavender done in a very incense style (classic way). when i say citrus..this is not the sparkling drop of lime, this one is pretty dark! think of it as seeing this whole accord thru a reel of film used in cameras. heavy dose of aromatic fougere with floral blast, a blast which is so intense, it has a dark cloud of powder surrounding the wearer...this is one scent i love to over apply. such a wonderfully contructed scent, every accord is well done...all the way to the end where it's rich, musky, woody with hints of incense and leather. i have yet to smell a scent which smells soo cool close to skin. a must have in every wardrobe. 07 October 2008 |
 | A good near-fougère which is clean and fresh without being too soapy. The top notes are quite vivid, fresh, and striking. They lead into a floral-aromatic heart, and the scent then resolves into a mossy, musky and very slightly powdery drydown. I like this one, even if it does resemble a few others, because it is extremely well done. The construction is very careful and balanced; it is complex and shows a superior development. The longevity is moderate, but it does have a decent sillage until it winds down. You can be a little more liberal in application with this if you want it to last longer. A good, solid scent with potential for classic status someday. 22 September 2008 |
 | After the unpleasant initial blast, this fragrance develops into a nice subtle smell. Nothing ground-breaking, but it is a fragrance I welcome into my collection. 30 May 2007 |
 | A nice leathery fragrance. The opening is quite traditional but then the spices kick in and make the composition more interesting. The base is fairly strong and contains leather, woods, and a tad of sweetness. Very good for wintertime use. 12 May 2007 |
  | We bought this today. I agree with all the positive reviews submitted. A truly timeless & classic scent for men. I love the smell on him--this is one scent for sophisticated men. My husband thinks so too! I rate it 5 stars. 30 January 2007 |
 | Timeless classic. Sweet enough, spicy enough, but not overbearing. 26 December 2006 |

| A very sophisticated scent. Timeless for me. I usually dont wear a fragrance to get compliments on it, but this has been complimented many times by girls. It evokes nice memories and is a winter scent in my opinion. Suitable for office wear as well as for outdoors / casual. The best Lagerfeld in my opinion. It has been relaunched and obviously the relaunched version is unfortunately nowhere near the original one. Still easy to get the original version though. 03 November 2006 |

| Wonderful on others, but cloying and far too heady on me. (Almost seems to intensify on me throughout the day, not "dry down.") I genuinely like this stuff, though -- just not for me. Thumbs up, but with that one reservation. 04 October 2006 |

| it was my favorite perfume in the 90s, I used 8 bottle of this fragance. Is a very goob aroma from 90s, in my skin the lemon n benzoin mixed with the sandalwood (and is very long lasting) smells very goob...I'M going to buy again 08 February 2006 |
 | Tough blamed by many as sweet, unidimensional,far too intoxicating, it actually interacts well with my skin. It not only lasts but it also developes pleasant notes once applied. Partly herbal and minty, partly smelling like pine and dry leaves, patrly dark and leathery towards the end. Slightly old fashioned yet not dated, tough maybe a little too formal to be worn on a daily basis. 02 February 2006 |

| This might not be the hottest cologne of the moment, but it has always been a very sexy scent, almost smoky, and has a great warmth in its drydown that is perfect for winter. The lavender and coriander give it a nice zing for the first hour or so. Then comes the warmth. the smell reminds me of Paris (the city, not the perfume) - I don't know if people there are wearing this, but for some reason, I always think I'm smelling this cologne all over when I visit Paris. 26 October 2005 |

| Although launched in 1990, Photo feels very much like a child of the eighties. It's strong, woody, masculine and has a very nice peach note. Very similar to Romeo Gigli's Sud Est. That one is superior of the two though. The packaging and name is of course a reference to Karl Lagerfelds second passion after fashion - photography. 26 September 2005 |
 | Photo is ok, but...is too floral to my taste! Smelt like those flowery soaps we buy in the super market! Too much non obtrusive, there is a lack of character in this one...Maybe It's my nose, accostumed to the old school fragrances...I would give 3 of 5 stars to it. Sung pour homme is a better floral indeed! 08 December 2004 |

| This is my favorite Lagerfeld. A wonderful blend of citrus top notes and lavender, lingering with a base of sandalwood, benzoin and maybe a bit of musk and/or leather. It's not as complex in it's evolution as Jako (another fine scent) but it does change some. The deodorant stick lasts too. More casual than formal, but could work for both. 23 December 2002 |
 | A fresh aromatic fougere, great for the fall and summer. It has a crisp floral burst at the beginning (lavender, grapefruit), then dries down to a great aromatic (laurel, coriander) leathery, mossy scent. 26 November 2002 |
