Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Lagerfeld Classic Eau de Parfum

Lagerfeld Classic is a proper old-school powerhouse, delivering a warm, spicy, and often polarising punch. This fragrance is a love-it-or-hate-it affair, with many finding it dated but undeniably charismatic. If you like vintage scents, you'll likely adore its bold statement and incredible value, while others will run for the hills.

Our Verdict - New Haarlem Eau de Parfum

Divisive, love-it-or-hate-it. This 'sexy pancakes' scent has a cult following who adore its edible warmth and beast mode performance, but it's not for everyone. Some find the maple syrup note overwhelming and artificial, leaning into cloying territory.

Season and Occasion Fit

Lagerfeld Classic Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

Also Works:

Spring

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Also Works:

Casual

Its potent projection and long-lasting nature, paired with its rich, oriental character, make it less suitable for office wear where subtlety is preferred. However, these same qualities, especially the sensual amber and tobacco, are perfect for dates and evening formal events, though perhaps a bit much for casual daytime if over-sprayed.

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Casual

Its potent projection and syrupy sweetness make it a poor fit for the office, potentially cloying to others. However, the comforting gourmand profile and long-lasting nature are perfect for casual outings or intimate date nights, especially in cooler weather.
