Karl Lagerfeld Karl Paris 21 Rue Saint-Guillaume is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2020, created by Émilie Coppermann. Karl Paris 21 Rue Saint-Guillaume opens with Grapefruit, Mandarin, and Violet Leaf, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, and Gardenia, and dries down to a base of Musk, Sandalwood, and Patchouli.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Its fresh white floral and citrus accords make it a versatile choice for casual and office wear, with many reviewers highlighting its 'inoffensive' and 'daily pick' qualities. While some note strong projection, others report weak performance, suggesting it might be too subtle for formal events or a bit much for active sports.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Opens with a bright, zesty burst of mandarin and grapefruit, immediately followed by the green, slightly powdery touch of violet leaf. The heart blossoms into a rich, creamy white floral bouquet of jasmine and gardenia, uplifted by a soft rose. It settles into a warm, grounding base of musky sandalwood and earthy patchouli, leaving a clean, sophisticated trail.
