"Two terrific new ones to try: One that's fresh and sporty is Blazer By Anne Klein. It's a slightly citrus scent with a delicate tang that's lively and very feminine. Blazer is available in 4-ounce perfume spray as well as '4-ounce flacon, $10 and up."
Country Life, 1977:
"Finally, if any proof is needed to tell us blazers are in the air, Helena Rubinstein have brought out a new fragrance by American sportswear designer Anne Klein, called Blazer. It is designed specially for women who like a sporty look in their fashion and so has a green note spiced with flowers. It is nice to find a perfume that is quite in place out of doors and worn with sports clothes."
