Kim Kardashian’s Debut Fragrance

Happy February! A few excit­ing events are hap­pen­ing in this February, and today is the launch of Kim Kardashian’s fra­grance with her same name. Kim Kardashian, the fra­grance, is avail­able exclu­sively at Sephora start­ing today!

I was lucky enough to have a sam­ple. We have asked Julie to do a review too! Before I tell you what I think of it, let me give you more details about the fragrance.

The scent of stardom

The fra­grance is described as “The scent of star­dom”. It is a fra­grance as volup­tuous, sen­sual and beau­ti­ful as Kim her­self. Kim Kardashian reflects the sen­su­al­ity, fem­i­nin­ity and appeal of Kim her­self. Margarita Arriagada, Sephora’s SVP of Merchandising, described the fra­grance as “a gor­geous fusion of clas­si­cism, moder­nity and sen­su­al­ity.” Developed by Givaudan, and cre­ated by mas­ter per­fumer Claude Dir, the sump­tu­ous, flo­ral fra­grance evokes Kim’s trade­mark sul­try style with crisp top notes, lush, flo­ral mid tones, and a rich, sexy dry-down. Gorgeous, volup­tuous flo­ral reflect her cap­ti­vat­ing nature, while Jasmine, tuberose and gar­de­nia evoke her fem­i­nin­ity. Tonka bean, jacaranda wood and san­dal­wood add a warm, sen­sual base, rep­re­sent­ing Kim’s softer side.

My sam­ple bot­tle was, well, in a sam­ple bot­tle; but you would be pleased to know your bot­tle is designed by Scott Oshry and Sean Brosmith of Masea.

My take on it (with my non-profesionally-trained-nose)

I per­son­ally own Dior’s J’dore, Anna Sui’s Sui Love, Harajuku’ Love, (wow, I just real­ize they are ALL LOVE!), and when I first got my Kim Kardashian sam­ple, it does remind me of these scents, and hence I am com­par­ing them.

Compared with Sui Love, Kim Kardashian per­fume is less flo­ral and flirty. You can def­i­nitely tell the pres­ence of the warm under­tone too. Compared with H. Love, Kim Kardashian fra­grance is more sen­sual. Kim Kardashian fra­grance is pretty sim­i­lar to J’dore as a whole­some scent. J’dore is more sub­tle, mod­est and less flo­ral. All in all, Kim Kardashian per­fume is def­i­nitely the sul­try, sexy fra­grance described by its producers.
