Kenneth Cole

Kenneth Cole is a renowned American designer and humanitarian and has a simple philosophy that governs his designs and accessories. He believes that, "It's great to be known for your shoes. It is even better to be know for your soul," and his fragrances have been established as an expression of this simple philosophy. Each fragrances is a light and spirited blend that allows the wearer's sensuality, sophistication and inner skin to be revealed and amplified through the blend of fragrances Kenneth Cole has created.

Kenzo

Kenzo has always worked towards a multicultural world, a world of colors and beauty, with nature as a vibrant, inexhaustible source of inspiration. Classic, contemporary, or visionary, the women's and men's perfumes Kenzo created are based on values of life, energy, and a deep-rooted equilibrium. Experience each Kenzo fragrance and open your senses to new possibilities and worlds.

Kiehls

Kiehl’s was founded as an old-world apothecary in New York’s East Village neighborhood over 150 years ago. Khiel's products are made utilizing the finest ingredients known to us in our unique formulations to assure the highest quality skin, hair and body care. The true difference with Khiels is their unique, extensive background of cosmetic, pharmaceutical, herbal, and medicinal knowledge developed and passed on through the generations.

Korres

With roots in the oldest homeopathic pharmacy in Athens, Greece, Korres's history is as rich as the decadent body butters and nourishing creams they create. From watercress to wild rose, sage to sweet almond, sunflower to sugar, their roster of ingredients reads more like a grocery list. That's because every Korres product relies on top quality plant extracts and essential oils, which enchant the senses and effectively treat the skin.

Krizia

Krizia is an established and cutting edge Italian Designer house that produces luxurious and wearable scents that are graceful and beautiful to behold.

-------------------------
Perfume
This is the extract or extrait of a fragrance and represents the scent in its purest form. This often creates a smooth and round texture, which is hard to achieve with the dilution represented in the other concentrations of fragrance.
EDP
Eau de Parfum or EDP is one of the most popular forms of fragrance. Eau de Parfum contains between seven to fourteen per cent of fragrance oils and perfume elixirs and is the second strongest, and longest lasting means of wearing a fine fragrance.
EDT
Eau de Toilette or EDT is fast becoming the most common means of wearing a fragrance or perfume. EDT’s are not as highly concentrated in oils and elixirs as an EDP or Perfume would be and contain one to three per cent of fragrance oils. This impacts the ability of the fragrance to last and around eighty percent of the oils in an EDT fragrance will evaporate within three hours of application.
EDC
Eau de Cologne’s or EDC’s were first popularised by Napoleon. These fragrances are often constructed in a different manner to the traditional French Model and are formulated in one single burst. As a result of this process, EDC’s or Eau de Colognes last the least amount of time on the skin and can dissolve within a couple of hours. EDC’s should be worn as a invigorating spray.
