It is indeed an honour for me to introduce you to the newly launched Karen Walker fragrance range A, B and C. They are currently exclusively sold in Harvey Nicholls.
I will also be doing a special giveaway. An opportunity for you, my wonderful readers to have a chance of winning a bottle from this most delightful perfume range.Karen Walker is the super cool and renowned designer from New Zealand, with an amazing creative empire in clothing, accessories, eyewear, jewellery and even homeware.
I must admit that I am currently pining over her clothing and sunglasses collection.
Now adding to her prolific repertoire, is a newly launched collection of fragrances, simply called A, B and C.Karen Walker has always been fascinated by how fragrance triggers and stores memories.
She started working on this new fragrance range 2 years ago and decided to make it into a trio of perfumes, a way of expressing the multiple personalities her customers may have.
She wanted to work with the best craftspeople in the world to create her range, bringing her to Charabot in Grasse, the world’s oldest fragrance house.
Let me now introduce you to A, B and C.‘A’ is a perfume that typifies Happiness. It is a floral and fruity blend, with top notes of cassis, crushed mint leaves and grapefruit, heart notes of rose, lily of the valley, green tea and ylang ylang, on a solar musk base.
Doesn’t that sound divine? I’m wearing this scent now as I type. It really is light, fresh, fruity and minty.
This would definitely be one that I would wear in the daytime at work, topping up through the day for a fresh and energised feel.‘B’ is feminine, ripe and delicious. Its top notes are of Bergamot, pink pepper, and grapefruit, heart notes of iris, white rose, peach and Sambac Jasmine, and base notes of patchouli, praline, tonka bean, musk and vanilla.
Wow! I’ve just sprayed some on right now. It has such depth and that musk laced with the sweetness of florals is just gorgeous.
It’s one of those scents that you would wear in the early evening. Elegant and a definite head turner as it lingers momentarily when you walk by. ‘C’ is addictive. It truly is, I can’t stop smelling it since I sprayed it on my dress. It is an opulent scent with top notes of Gardenia, magnolia, mandarin and bergamot, heart notes of tuberose, orange flower, Sambac Jasmine and lily of the valley, and base notes of sandalwood, amber,musk and cashmere wood.
This scent is truly sensual and so perfect for date night.I just love all three and as I type I have all three on. You have a chance to win a bottle of either A, B or C. So, there will be 3 winners. Which personality are you, A, B or C?
Put a comment on the blog and let me know which one you would like and why.
Have a great start to your weeks.

All sound fabulous but would have to be C!
Hi Geraldine!
A lovely read as always. Very excited about these scents – Karen Walker has such a great vibe. I think I’d probably have to go for C from the sounds of things, although A and B sound wonderful too.
Have my fingers crossed!
Thanks, Emily x
I would say I am definitely C! I love change but when I really love something that will stay a permanent fixture in my life so much so I get addicted. The citrus notes paired with the woody undertones sounds incredible and right up my street! What an amazing giveaway! I have all my fingers and toes crossed for this one

Oh A sounds divine!!! It sounds like it would smell like summer. And I for one am not ready for summer to end. Fruity and fun. Yeah it sounds like me!! Thanks girls !!
I would love ‘A’, I am more of a daytime perfume person. My daughter, Anais is a very happy little soul so I would also like the bottle once it’s finished for her nursery. It’s a lovely design!
Definitely an A! I am so ready to feel the freshness and make everybody feel the breeze! *fingers crossed and praying hard for this*

I think I’d go for “B”, simply because it sounds like a combo of “A” and “C” and, really – all three would be the icing on the cake – lucky you!

It’s difficult to choose, but I have to go with B. It really is an intriguing mix of notes! And as someone who has just started getting into fragrances with chocolatey and nutty notes, I love the sound of the praline.
Defo C for me as it sounds perfect for my tastes

c
Definitely C! It sounds like quite a musky scent with all the notes in it, and I like that! Plus ‘addictive’ is a very good word, I love scents where I can just smell them all day and it completely fills your nose <3
C! C! It must be C!!!
I’m not typically your ‘perfume’ type gal. I have but ONE bottle + it is only used on the highest of occasions. I think it may have even been gifted to me sometime beyond my memory’s capacity. (yikes!!!) Ms. Walker is one heck of a lady who sure knows how to draw some serious attention. Everything from the concept to the design and packaging is just brilliant. It most certainly would be a prized possession on my (very lonely) shelf.
Xoxo
C

I think C typifies me. I love the combination of fragrances.
C sounds like the scent for me! It has many of my favourite fragrances in there and I was pretty much sold when you said “addictive”!
A, of course. Would definitely bring some happiness 🙂
“Addictive” is such a provocative word it got me straight away.
The discription is outstanding so it is going to have to be C
