The brand’s founder, Karen, was always aware that she could smell things in a way that no one else could and following many years of study, working with fragrance and materials, and undertaking accredited formal training in perfumery, Karen set up her own perfume lab and launched Karen Timson Fragrance.
Karen’s fragrance style has a delicate, watercolour-feel – detailed and subtle yet with great character and staying power. Drawing inspiration from a variety of sources including myth and legend, her travels around the world and her own, fertile imagination, Karen’s fragrances combine balance with wearability, modernity with old-fashioned quality.
Ever dream of having your own perfume and thought it too exclusive? If you’d love your very own bespoke fragrance that no one else will be able to wear, Karen can create it for you. Your perfume DNA will remain exclusively yours, allowing only you to order the same again. You could walk down the aisle on your wedding day enveloped in an aura of beautiful fragrance that you and your guests will remember forever, give that unique present for someone special or simply treat yourself to something uniquely yours.
If you were fortunate enough to have attended the 2025 Muddy Awards Winners drinks party, you will have received a little bottle of Karen’s Côte Vermeille eau de parfum in your gift bag, inspired by Charles Rennie Mackintosh’s bold interiors at 78 Derngate in Northampton.
Bookings are now open for an intimate, hands-on perfume making workshop led by Karen at Wharf Distillery in Towcester on Tue 17 Mar, 14 April, 12 May & 2 June. You’ll learn how fine fragrances are created and create a fragrance entirely your own – book you place here.
