If You Want To Buy Kim Kardashian's Perfume, There's Something You Should Know
After months and months of anticipation, KKW Fragrance is finally here... but it won't be for long. Kim Kardashian launched her newest perfume line featuring three signature scents from KKW Fragrance on Nov. 15. As publications are expecting, it will most likely sell out fast. Now fans are wondering if and when Kim Kardashian's perfume will restock. The answer, unfortunately, will probably make customers p*ssed.
If you follow Kardashian on any social media platform, you have seen tons of promotion for her three new fragrance scents: Crystal Gardenia, Crystal Gardenia Citrus, and Crystal Gardenia Oud. It's obvious that Kardashian is extremely proud of KKW Fragrance, and she totally should be. Surprisingly, this is the first perfume that was designed and created exclusively by Kardashian — no collabs needed.
The packaging is very Kim K — sleek, chic, and dripping in crystal glam.
As for the scents, Kardashian used the word "timeless" to describe them while answering questions on Twitter. If you're wondering what the perfumes actually smell like, Kardashian says,
In my signature scent, Crystal Gardenia, the top note is water lily that evokes a lush, wet petal effect to the opening. Crystal Gardenia Citrus has floral top notes with sweet facets of orange oil and bajes rose. And Crystal Gardenia Oud, which is inspired by the Middle East, has captivating notes of bergamot and lavender.
Honestly, that sounds elegant AF. One thing that first struck a lot of fans was the unique packaging. The perfume bottle is shaped like a giant crystal and is designed to lay on its side.
Surprisingly, the inspiration behind the crystal look actually goes back to the infamous Paris robbery. Kardashian explained the connection during an interview with Entertainment Tonight. She said,
After my whole Paris situation over a year ago, all my friends would come over and bring me healing crystals. I wasn't really into them. I didn't know much about them. Enough people brought them over that I love the shape, I loved holding it, and I felt like, ‘OK, this is it. I want something that I feel like calms me, is healing...’ And I wanted the bottle, especially the smaller one.
Kardashian continued by saying the crystals felt "pure" to her. She went on,
It felt so pure to me. I just loved [how] the properties of the rose quartz and citrine bring happiness, and it just meant so much to me to look into what crystals mean and their healing properties.
I love the personal tie Kardashian has to the fragrance; it makes it feel so much more special. Apparently, fans have been feeling the love, too, judging by how fast the fragrances are predicted to sell out.
All three scents are being sold at KKWFragrance.com starting on Nov. 15. If you are lucky enough to live in Los Angeles, Crystal Gardenia is available at Violet Grey to try out. However, I'm sure at this point even the samples have been spritzed dry. According to WWD, Kardashian will not be restocking her three Gardenia perfumes, but is considering launching new scents closer to February instead. That means this will be your only chance to buy Kim Kardashian's Crystal Gardenia perfumes if you want one. Sorry, everyone! Get to KKWFragrance.com fast.
If you were lucky enough to snag a bottle, please let me know what you think. I was too slow ordering. *Sobs uncontrollably.* Is it too much to want to smell like Kim Kardashian? NO, BECAUSE I'M SURE IT'S BEAUTIFUL.
