Inside Weddings: "Scents and Sensibility"
"Inspired by and eclectic mix of Italian art, ancient history and her friends, Alexis Karl creates alluring hand-blended scents, each with a unique presentation. As a painter as well as a perfumer, Karl not only mixes each scent and solid, she also gilds the vintage-inspired bottles... for a truly one-of-a-kind quality."

"Heaven Scent"
"You’ve got Daddy’s money and Mamma’s good looks. But who do you smell like? Britney? J.Lo? SJP? That’s just sad sad sad... Painter-turned-perfumer Alexis Karl mixed up some fragrances in her Williamsburg laboratory and ended up with a line of decadent perfumes that are a little glam-rock, a little goth-and very original." (Allison Hattfield)

"Parfum de Rebellion"
"Another fragrance in the fourth dimension, artist Alexis Karl creates fragrances and their bottles by hand. She was inspired by a song from the Velvet Underground for Venus in Furs, an overdose of amber, vanilla and freesia." (Lili Barberie)

CNN interview
with Danielle Romano
and M. O’Brien
M. O'Brien: All right, so these scents are good?
Romano: .. -- so we talked about scientific chocolate yesterday. This is scientific scent. This woman tinkers in her laboratory and puts together the most amazing decadent combination of fragrance.
M. O'Brien: Here she is.
Romano: Her name is Alexis Karl.
M. O'Brien: Decadent.
Romano: Decadent. So a scent that is like something she's never smelled before, maybe a hint of merlot. She uses an herb called Dragon's Blood, but you can pretend it's actual Dragon's Blood.
M. O'Brien: Ooh.
