The concept

Everyday fashion with high standards of design and manufacturing: this is what OTTO KERN stands for. The label creates casual, elegant designer fashion and stylish looks for every day that are anything but commonplace. The brand’s first fragrance was launched in 2006. Since then, OTTO KERN Fragrances has established itself successfully and is currently ranked seventh* in the German bridge market. Since then, the brand’s perfumes and fashion have both been equally captivating, ensuring a symbiosis of style and confidence. With GENTLEMAN’S CODE BLACK and SILVER, OTTO KERN now complements its fragrance collection with two new highlights from the orient-inspired fougère fragrance family that is popular with its target group, which appeal to the style-conscious man of today -: self-confident, multifaceted and strong in character.

The design

OTTO KERN GENTLEMAN’S CODE speaks a clear design language: large flacons with a matte finish exude self-confidence, elegance and masculine clarity. The high-quality texture underlines its timeless style. One particularly strong detail is the iconic red “K” of the OTTO KERN logo – a sign of recognizability and character. In the indentation, the label, with its distinctive brand logo, stands out from the rest of the flacon thanks to its glossy effect and is reminiscent of a vault in which the secret of the true gentleman is enclosed. The caps of the flacons symbolize the access code required to be able to immerse oneself into the exclusive notes of OTTO KERN GENTLEMAN’S CODE. The exquisite folding boxes pick up on the luxurious design concept and complete the elegant look – an appearance that impresses on the shelf and remains in your memory.
