So what does it smell like? It is classified as an aldehydic floral fragrance for women. I think it smells a lot like vintage Opium by Yves Saint Laurent, very nice, deep and rich oriental. It starts off with an aldehydic top, followed by an elegant floral heart, resting on a sensual, powdery base.
The New York Times Magazine, 1981:
The bottle was designed by Pierre Dinand in 1982. It was manufactured by L. Bormoli with plastic components supplied by Landini.
Country Life, 1982:
The original vintage fragrance was distributed in the early 1980s by Parfums Pantene of Nutley, NJ.

Country Life, 1982:
"For women who like the special clothes we have been talking about, K de Krizia is a delicious, rich and sensuous scent. There are three strengths, for different times of day and night — eau de toilette, eau de parfum and parfum — and the frosted bottle, designed by Pierre Dinand."
