Karen Walker A, B & C ~ new perfumes

Posted by Robin on 12 May 2015 4 Comments

Karen Walker A, B and C

New Zealand-based designer Karen Walker has launched her debut fragrances, A, B and C.

Say hello to Karen Walker's world of eternal optimism. Bringing to the nose her signature optimism, energy and chic-meets-eccentric hand-writing for the first time, the only trouble you face is choosing your favourite from this trio!

A ~ "A is the happiness potion. It’s sparkly, bright, herbal and fresh. For Karen it’s the feeling of pure happiness that only dappled sunshine through verdant trees and a garden in bloom can create. A is a refreshing fruity floral with cassis, grapefruit, crushed mint leaves, rose, green tea and ylang ylang. A true delight for day or night."

B ~ "B is feminine and efflorescent. It’s lush, ripe, and delicious. It’s a warm, balmy breeze after the heat of the day. For Karen, this fragrance is brimming with possibilities. B is a delicious gourmand floral with bergamot, pink pepper, iris, Sambac jasmine, patchouli and praline."

C ~ "C is addictive. It’s compelling, opulent and generous. It’s the most sensuous of the three and contains all of Karen’s favourite flowers condensed into a bottle. Every 'no' becomes a 'yes' when this scent’s in the air. C is a warm sensual floral with gardenia, magnolia, tuberose, Sambac jasmine, orange flower, sandalwood and amber."

Karen Walker A, B and C can be found now at Harvey Nichols in the UK, in 50 (£65) and 100 (£85) ml Eau de Parfum.

    Sometimes perfume names, or lack thereof, will deter me from wanting to sniff something. Though, I did like B by Marie Saint Pierre..so there are exceptions. Though, I think one should come up with better names..and better designs..not look like child building blocks for a nursery or something.

      I do like the packaging, but can’t argue about the names!

    “Every ‘no’ becomes a ‘yes’ when this scent is in the air” reads as creepy to me.

    And not for the first or last time i wonder when the Internet will get a scratch n’ sniff function.
