Reed Krakoff RK Limited Edition ~ new fragrance

Posted by Robin on 22 November 2010 20 Comments

Reed Krakoff RK Limited Edition perfume

Recently launched Coach-owned accessories brand Reed Krakoff* will debut their first fragrance next month. RK Limited Edition, made under arrangements with Estée Lauder, will be sold in one of four limited edition bottles hand-blown in Murano, Italy.

The fragrance features notes of black pepper, aldehydes, neroli, hyacinth, peony, violet leaf, vetiver and orris.

Reed Krakoff RK Limited Edition is available now for pre-order at the Reed Krakoff website, $695 for some unknown amount of Eau de Parfum. The customer can select the bottle color (nude, silver-fleck, grey or clear); the package also includes 2 refills of the scent and a funnel. 100 bottles were made in each color. (via wwd, additional information via reedkrakoff)

* Note that Krakoff is the president and creative director of Coach.

        It isn’t that it doesn’t sound perfectly wonderful. It does and has lots of notes I adore, as I’m a sucker for a well made chypre. But knowing my luck, I’d fall head over heels for it and can’t see justifying a purchase like that. Even a split seems like it’d cost an arm and a leg.

          I fall head over heels so rarely that I’m not worried, I guess — just curious.

      However, who pre-buys something for $695 without having any idea of what it smells like no matter how much you love the bottle ?

        Maybe someone who would pay $695 for the bottle alone as a decorative item, and considers the perfume a bonus?

    The bottles remind me of those little bottles of model car paint you buy in hobby stores.

    Yes, yes, pretty bottles. They’d better be, at that price point!

      They’d be really stunning on a dresser if you had all 4.

    Beautiful packaging. The fragrance may be lovely but most of us will never know.

    Talking about vague… excellent packaging but good lord. I certainly won’t be spending that kind of money on “vague”.

    I have to say those are pretty stunning. I like the nude color – rather unusual. The notes sound okay, too. I’ll probably never know, and hopefully this will all delete from my memory banks soon. Either that or I’ll find a sugar daddy in the next couple weeks who can indulge me.

    those bottles are UTTERLY BEAUTIFUL! I want the Nude or the Clear or the Blue! mostly the Clear… it’s so… Asceticly Beautiful! I have heard the fragrance smells absolutely WONDERFUL! really like an Old-School Guerlain Fragrance was how the person described it! :-) I AM DYING to perhaps buy a bottle for my mum! HOPEFULLY, Mr. Krakoff will eventually release a more, REASONABLY priced version in NON-Murano Glass bottles… although from the website text, i doubt that he will…. seems he wants something Luxurious and Limited… which i understand… but i still want to smell it myself! LOL
