Kapsule Woody by Karl Lagerfeld is a Oriental Woody fragrance for women and men. Kapsule Woody was launched in 2008. The nose behind this fragrance is Olivier Cresp. The fragrance features Plum, Cedar and Oakmoss. In cooperation with Coty, Karl Lagerfeld is launching something very interesting into the world of fragrances this autumn. That is a fragrant trio named Kapsule, inspired by geometrics, as the creator's great love. Three Kapsules are unisex fragrances, which can be mutually combined, and as Karl Lagerfeld says, they stand for \'music for the nose'. The notes he likes include aromas of fresh bread, vanilla, spices and wood and they are created in a modern spirit and in beautiful colours.The first letter of the perfume trio Kapsule "K" is the first letter of designer Karl’s name, and three editions, which were named Kapsule Light, Kapsule Woody and Kapsule Floriental, were created in cooperation with three different perfumers.Kapsule Woody is a work of Olivier Cresp from Firmenich, who enriched it with aromas of cedar, moss and accords of gourmet plum.Their bottles were created in geometric shape of square, in three colours of glass: light blue (Kapsule Light), red (Kapsule Fioriental) and dark blue (Kapsule Woody). The bottles were designed by Luz Herrmann, with engraved Lagerfeld\'s signature on the bottom of each bottle.These editions is presented to the market in October 2008, as 30ml edt (1.0oz) and 75ml edt (2.5oz).
Composition & Character
How It Wears
A Signature Fragrance

Plum
Plum is a versatile note with a rich, slightly tart aroma reminiscent of ripe fruit. Its character can range from fresh and juicy to deep and jammy, depending on how it’s processed and used in perfumes. This natural or synthetic essence adds depth without overpowering the senses, making it a popular choice for creating complex fragrances.

Cedar
Cedar, sourced from various species of coniferous trees, exudes a deep, resinous aroma with hints of sweetness and wood smoke. Its scent is both comforting and grounding, reminiscent of old libraries or the quiet solitude of a forest. This versatile note has long been favored for its ability to blend seamlessly into complex compositions without overpowering other ingredients.

Oakmoss
Oakmoss, derived from lichens growing on oak trees, exudes an unmistakable blend of damp forest floor and mossy green. Its scent is both deep and complex, with hints of woodsy freshness that evoke the quiet solitude of a shaded grove.

“In perfumery, the biggest risk is playing it safe.”
Olivier Cresp is a master perfumer at Firmenich and one of the most accomplished creators in the modern fragrance industry. Born into a perfumery family in Grasse — his father was also a perfumer — Cresp has composed some of the best-selling fragrances in history, including Thierry Mugler's Angel, one of the most revolutionary and commercially dominant perfumes ever created. He is also the nose behind Nina Ricci's Nina, Versace Bright Crystal, and dozens of other iconic compositions. Cresp's genius lies in his ability to create fragrances that are both daringly original and irresistibly wearable.
