There really isn’t a family more synonymous with Insta-fame, beauty culture, and self-promotion than the Kardashian clan. In 2017, Kim Kardashian West launched KKW Fragrance, amassing a staggering $10 million in one day from perfume sales.
KKW perfume range follows the same Kardashian sense of luxury, identity, and sensuality. With feminine white florals blended with soft fruits and extravagant musks, the wow-factor is high.
The Diamond Collection is an exciting joint venture by the 3 famous Kardashian sisters; Kim, Khloé, and Kourtney. The brand has since grown into a fragrance house with over 30 perfumes to its name.

10 KKW Fragrances – The Best of the Best
The best KKW perfumes offer an intoxicating blend of glamourous attention-grabbing notes that are both confident and feminine. Here are 10 to consider.
1. KKW x Kris Eau de Parfum
Review
Created in conjunction with Kris Jenner and launched in 2020, KKw x Kris Eau de Parfum is an oriental floral fragrance with a slight, boozy edge.
The delicious opening of freesia flower, white wine, Campari, and tagetes give this fragrance a sharp and somewhat musky aroma. White florals of tuberose and gardenia in the heart add brightness and lift.
The base notes of luxurious cashmere wood are most prominent, supported by vetiver. Amber adds a dash of resinous depth, drying to a mature and seductive scent.
KKW x Kris is a perfect evening fragrance which can be worn throughout the year. With that said, it fares best from autumn to spring when the cooler air lets it shine without becoming cloying.
Despite having good initial sillage and projection, this perfume isn’t the most durable, slowly fading away within 4 hours, give or take.
The white, hexagonal bottle is striking enough on its own. However, the addition of a central image depicting two women – a mother and daughter, makes it a little more sentimental.
Overall, KKW x Kris Eau de Parfum is a beautiful oriental floral scent with a luxurious cashmere wood edge.
Top Notes:
White Wine, Campari, Freesia, Tagetes
Mid Notes:
Tuberose, Gardenia, Jasmine, Lily-of-the-Valley

2. KKW Crystal Gardenia Eau de Parfum
Review
Launched in 2017, Crystal Gardenia Eau de Parfum is a bright and youthful fragrance with classic undertones to add the complexity. Encased in a rectangular bottle that looks like a shard of crystal, it certainly is striking!
The top notes of sweet pear, zesty pink grapefruit and water lily, opening the door to this incredible scent, give this perfume a sharp and sweet opening edge.
However, this edge softens quickly as the heart notes of gardenia, tuberose, and tiare flower bloom. They bring in the wave of distinctive and somehow tropical freshness of creamy, sweet flowers, gently uplifting the fragrance.
The base notes of musk, amber, and sandalwood finish the sweet and fresh symphony with dry, musky, and resinous notes that give it depth and richness. The perfume dries down to a harmonious bouquet of fruity florals sprinkled with a touch of musk.
Perfect for bright spring and autumnal days, Crystal Gardenia has strong, zesty sillage and good staying power. You can expect 4 hours of wear from a single application, or a touch longer if you apply it to your clothing and hair.
Overall, Crystal Gardenia is a white floral, gardenia and tuberose scent that is calming and relaxing. Clean but balmy, with a touch of spice, it is absolutely the scent you’ll get compliments with.
Top Notes:
Pear, Pink Grapefruit, Water Lily
Mid Notes:
Gardenia, Tuberose, Tiare Flower
Base Notes:
Musk, Amber, Sandalwood

3. KKW Diamond Khloe Eau de Parfum
Review
Many of the perfumes in the KKW Fragrance stable have strong ties to the Kardashian-West family as people. After all, their strong personalities have informed every stage of their lives – it makes sense that their signature fragrances would also do so!
Pink Diamond Eau de Parfum was launched in 2019 and is Khloe Kardashian’s signature fragrance. It is also the sweetest of the three original ‘diamond’ scents.
Opening with the top notes of violet, dewdrop, and bergamot, the perfume creates a sparkling aroma of soft, powdery freshness. A heart of jasmine, lilac, and tuberose soon step in, bringing a rich, sweet and somewhat creamy floral tone.
In the base, the fragrance is calmed down by the earthy, woody aromas of moss, driftwood and musk, bringing the scent at odds with the rest of the blend. Dries to a sweet, white floral concoction surrounded by a veil of musk.
Like the rest of the ‘Diamond’ line, Pink Diamond is held in a diamond-shaped, clear glass bottle, showcasing a soft pink colour liquid.
Perfect for spring and summer days, this fragrance has a decent sillage and good 4-hours of durability. Very pretty and feminine, this sweet floral scent is good all-occasion fragrance.
Overall, Pink Diamond Eau de Parfum is like a walk through spring blossoms – innocent and fresh.
Top Notes:
Violet, Dew Drop, Bergamot
Mid Notes:
Tuberose, Jasmine, Lilac

Musk, Driftwood, Moss

4. KKW Nude Lips Eau de Parfum
Review
Launched in 2019, Nude Lips Eau de Parfum is a part of the Kylie Jenner KKW Fragrance line. Designed to represent her exquisite sense of glamour and the phenomenal success of the iconic ‘lip kit’.
As an oriental floral fragrance, Nude Lips is a delightful, heady fragrance with delicate and resinous undertones.
The initial spray opens the scent with a wave of warming spices, the uplifting sweetness of lily-of-the-valley and solar notes.
Reasonably new to perfumery, solar notes have been presented in sun cream products for a long time. This aroma produced by benzyl salicylate note gives the perfume a warm, salty, and floral scent.
The heart of the fragrance, formed of magnolia, jasmine, and peony accords, start to bloom quickly, blending with the sunny headnotes to give a sweet, rich, and classic aroma.
Tahitian vanilla, musk, and amber in the base notes deepen this scent, adding sweet and natural notes with a resinous edge. The fragrance settles down into a gourmand spicy vanilla musk on the dry down, sprinkled with a touch of lemony magnolia.
This gorgeous oriental fragrance is best worn during fresh autumn/winter months. Perfect for either day or evening wear.
Sillage and longevity are excellent. A single application is enough to last around 5+ hours and will stay on far longer when applied to clothes or hair.
Nestling inside a fancy-looking, lip-shaped perfume bottle, the Nude Eau de Parfum produces a warming, spicy but matured and sensual fragrance.
Overall, Nude Lips is a comforting, “huggable” scent that will engulf you in its warming embrace.
Top Notes:
Solar Notes, Spices, Lily-of-the-Valley
Mid Notes:
Magnolia, Jasmine, Peony
Base Notes:
Tahitian Vanilla, Musk, Amber

5. KKW Crystal Violet Musk Eau de Parfum
Review
The 2020 addition to the ‘Crystal’ signature line, Crystal Violet Musk Eau de Parfum is a herby and refreshing take on a classic oriental floral fragrance. Held in the same shard-like bottle as the other entries in the line, this one has a gentle purple hue.
The top notes of lavender, sugar, and bergamot create a somewhat herby, sweet and refreshing opening. This mellows quickly but retains a slightly sweetened herbal heart even after the middle notes of peony, jasmine, and lily-of-the-valley join the composition.
These sparkling florals are rapidly coated by notes of creamy vanilla and tonka bean, and a deep, warming scent of sandalwood.
The beauty of this perfume is in the whole composition. This slightly rough, herbal palette, softened and deepened by the sweet, floral notes, is perfectly balanced and settles down to a spectrum of sweet and creamy lavender vanilla smells.
Crystal Violet Musk’s potent formula gives it strong projection and a reasonable 4-5 hours wear from each application.
Perfect for autumn, winter and creeping into spring. Although this scent can be worn during the day, it leams more towards evening wear.
Overall, Crystal Violet Musk is a comforting sweet lavender/vanilla combo that is perfect for romantic date nights.
Top Notes:
Lavender, Sugar, Bergamot
Mid Notes:
Peony, Jasmine, Lily-of-the-Valley
Base Notes:
Vanilla Bean, Tonka Bean, Sandalwood

6. KKW Kim – Emerald Diamond Eau de Parfum
Review
Emerald Diamond Eau de Parfum is a sensual, opulent, and alluring fragrance, launched in 2020. Flashes of vibrant, green notes match the green diamond-shaped bottle perfectly.
An opening of mandarin, orchid, and green notes provide a fresh and rejuvenating initial edge. The middle notes of pear blossom, passionflower and violet leaf give an almost herby, salty-sweet scent.
This floral/fruity bouquet soon merges with the airy and somewhat lemony tone of Hinoki wood, sweet orange blossom and resinous note of benzoin in the base notes.
The result is an overwhelmingly sensual, full of desire fragrance, a composition of delightfully sweet but airy floral aromas.
Emerald Diamond is perfect for cooler spring and summer days when the flowers will bloom beautifully in the cool air.
This fragrance cannot quite carry you from day-to-night. You can get 4+ hours of wear from a single application. Pop a bottle in your purse for a discreet top-up if out until the early hours.
Packaged inside the rich green glass diamond-shaped bottle, it adds a touch of luxury and satisfaction.
Overall, Emerald Diamond is a beautifully composed, full of positive vibes fragrance is your secret weapon to confidence and femininity.
Top Notes:
Green Notes, Green Mandarin, Orchid
Mid Notes:
Pear Blossom, Passion Flower, Violet Leaf

7. KKW Body II Eau de Parfum
Review
The ‘Body’ line of fragrances is one of the most well-known in the KKW Fragrance collection. Famously made using a mould of Kim Kardashian-West’s body, the original took Instagram by storm.
Body II Eau de Parfum was launched in 2018 as a celebration of femininity, combining white floral notes with feel-good, sweet coconut.
The perfume opens with an addictive blend of sweet coconut, mandarin, neroli and bergamot. This sweet and sparkling first wave is mellowed by a heart of exotic monoi oil, ylang-ylang, orange blossom, and jasmine.
The musky and slightly nutty earthiness of ambrette, musk and coconut milk in the base smooth any rough edges to leave the overall fragrance feeling creamy and soothing.
As you can imagine, this perfume is best worn on warm summer days when the incredibly strong yet pleasant, sillage can bloom. However, it will also suit late spring or early autumn time.
In cooler weather, this is a fairly long-lasting fragrance at 5+ hours. It will stand up to even the most humid summer days, but performance is reduced.
Body II Eau de Parfum will transport you to a tropical island, evoking the sun on your skin and the sweet scent of coconuts, flowers, and the sea breeze.
Top Notes:
Coconut Nectar, Neroli, Mandarin Orange, Bergamot
Mid Notes:
Monoi Oil, Ylang-Ylang, Orange Blossom, Jasmine
Base Notes:
Coconut Milk, Musk, Ambrette (Musk Mallow)

8. KKW Crystal Citrus Eau de Parfum
Review
Crystal Citrus Eau de parfum, launched in 2017, is somewhat of an underestimated fragrance as overshadowed by other scents in the range. It is bright, fresh, and sparkling!
A dazzlingly juicy opening of citruses, passion fruits and rose, gives the Crystal Citrus Eau de Parfum a delightful, sweet fragrance, somewhat reminiscent Turkish delight, or attar of rose.
In the mids, the perfume is enhanced by the warm sweetness of tropical jasmine, apple blossom and nectarine fruit. Powdery iris and a rosy note of peony added to the blend, surround with a subtle aroma of romantic flowers.
Heart notes do not shine through individually, but rather create a sweet and juicy blend which is almost dessert-like.
The base notes of musk, amber and precious woods, form a stable and dry foundation with a soft resinous edge that gives a rich, sensual finish to the fragrance.
Eventually, the perfume settles down to a sparkly, fruity-floral aroma, gently warmed by the earthy/musky base.
Worn in spring and summer when its freshness will cut through the warm afternoons, this perfume has fairly good durability. Still, it will start to fade away after around 3 to 4 hours if you do not reapply.
Overall, even if you are not a big fan of citrus fragrances, the crisp, sweet and soft floral scent of Crystal Citrus is worth a try. Perfect for any occasion, it is beautifully invigorating and will light up your mood.
Top Notes:
Orange Oil, Pomelo, Passionfruit, Lemon, Rose
Mid Notes:
Jasmine, Iris, Nectarine, Peony, Apple Blossom
Base Notes:
Musk, Amber, Cedarwood, Sandalwood

9. KKW Khloé – Sapphire Diamond Eau de Parfum
Review
Sapphire Diamond Eau de Parfum is another gorgeous fragrance inspired by Khloé Kardashian. Launched in 2020, this floral and fruity gourmand scent mimics the carefree, elegant, and seductive persona Khloé puts to the public.
This fragrance opens with blueberry and Italian mandarin fruity notes, topped with a hint of sea notes. It creates a sweet and slightly green tanginess that is soon mellowed by the heart notes of gorgeous blooms.
The approach of yummylicious note of panettone, blended with wisteria blossom and Bulgarian rose, transform the scent into an incredibly fragrant, delicious, powdery aroma.
A mixture of whipped cream, vanilla and tonka bean in the base makes it the most delightful gourmet scent. The warming note of sandalwood, topping up this fragrance, gives the perfume a subtle depth.
This lovely bouquet dries to the most delicious patisserie scent you can ever imagine – warm, sweet and loving.
With a strong sillage and good staying power, this fragrance is best worn on autumn and winter days, lasting around 4 to 5 hours per application.
Overall, Sapphire Diamond is a gourmet scent that is comforting and somewhat unique, luring into its aromatic warmth of fruity-vanilla lusciousness.
Top Notes:
Blueberry, Italian Mandarin, Sea Notes
Mid Notes:
Panettone, Wisteria, Bulgarian Rose

10. KKW Red Lips Eau de Parfum
Review
A part of the iconic and highly sought-after ‘Lips’ collection made in conjunction with Kylie Jenner, Red Lips Eau de Parfum is classic, glamorous, and seductive.
This mirrors the somewhat loaded image that red lips, or red lipstick, holds for many of us. From Hollywood glamour to femme fatale chic, Red Lips is the ideal scent for seduction.
Opening with the sweet radiance of blood orange and exotic lotus flower ensures that Red Lips’ is utterly intoxicating from the very first spray. When it just starts to fade, white florals bleed through.
The intoxicating nectar of tropical ylang-ylang, mixed with a pleasant fragrance of gardenia and ambrette, deepens the scent, making it sophisticated and more classically feminine.
As the base notes approach, the perfume takes on a dry, slightly resinous edge of red cedar and musk. The addition of creamy vanilla bean note, makes it a little unusual, settling the scent to a lovely musky vanilla gardenia, with a sprinkle of earthy woods.
Best suited for spring and early autumn days, this scent has enormous sillage and projection that stays put for the duration of the perfume’s presence. You can expect around 5+ hours of wear from each application.
Presentation is truly striking, with the fragrance housed inside an attractive red lips bottle that stands out from the crowd.
Overall, Red Lips is a soft and beautifully feminine, floral aroma that puts a spring to your step and a smile on your face.
Top Notes:
Blood Orange, Lotus
Mid Notes:
Gardenia, Ambrette (Musk Mallow), Ylang-Ylang
Base Notes:
Red Cedar, Vanilla Bean, Musk
