"I am very flattered that Karl Lagerfeld draws inspiration from space for his collections," Pesquet said. "Thankfully he did not draw inspiration from astronauts' outfits, because obviously here, we tend to wear European Space Agency polo shirts and pants with Velcro fastenings, which is not that great.

"But it's good. It means space makes people dream, that people are interested in exploration and science, and that's a good thing, because we are doing this for them. We don't do this for fun, but to be useful to society, at the end of the day," he added.

Asked if he would like to trade places with Pesquet, Lagerfeld demurred. "No, I think it's a little late [for that]. And the training is terrifying, on top of which I only speak four languages, and he must speak six, so you see, it's not enough," he said.

Also available in the test range is "Chanel Ignition de Nuit" for those hot nights by the ocean.

The nose of Chanel, Olivier Polge, had some reservations when he discovered the sillage only lasted 9 minutes, but the basenotes are amazing!
