She looks lovely in mourning, but she can't quite stifle that slutty streak.

LOL love it. It does have a certain slutty something. K was one of my favorites back in the 80's. I still spritz it from time to time.
ReplyDeleteI wish I had known K back in the day--I just found it via that drawer full of old samples my MIL gave me. I love it. It has to be another doomed Euro chypre.
ReplyDeleteK de Krizia is a wonderful thing: a most proper chypre with great elegance! I cherish my little bottle of it from the 80s. Glad you discovered it.
ReplyDeleteIt's definitely early 80s--before the big shoulders took over! I've tried the edp and edt now. I wonder if there was ever parfum? If so, it must have been wonderful.
ReplyDeleteIt was beautiful, and a bit blowsy...
ReplyDeletePart of its charm.
I just obtained a tiny vintage mini of K de Krizia, and your review sums it up precisely. Merry widow, indeed!
