New York, a city with which the designer evidently shared several common values: creativity, dynamism and effervescence. Karl Lagerfeld loved to stay in the vibrant neighbourhood of Soho.

This is where Mercer Street can be found, a unique road with an iconic hotel ideally situated among art galleries and upmarket boutiques - a perfect viewpoint that distils the vibrations of the city and its visitors.

Fragrance Notes:

An explosion of lime, basil and white pepper: lively and spicy notes evoke the amazing sensation of setting foot in New York for the first time.

They fade to give way to a sharp, green rhubarb and a delicate accord of water jasmine and geranium, reminiscent of the flowering window boxes that line the street-side steps.

White wood and vetiver then mingle with musks to form a vibrant and enveloping base.

They give the composition a touch of a unique Manhattan sophistication.
