Besides fashion, among Karl Lagerfeld's interests are books, and that's exactly what has prompted him (along with publisher Steidl) to create Paper Passion, a fragrance inspired by the scent of books. The juice, formulated by perfumer Geza Schön, is said to contain a "fatty nuance." While just what that fatty note could be or when the scent's exact launch date will happen is uncertain, one thing is known: the fragrance will be encased within a hollowed-out hardback.
Steidl also apparently sent Schön samples of printed and unprinted papers for inspiration. Lagerfeld isn't the first to have created a book- or library-influenced scent but we're still keen to see how Kaiser Karl's version stacks up. Pun intended. You too?
