Kim Kardashian Perfume by Kim Kardashian


The story is that in "creating" her own scent Kim Kardashian was inspired by her favorite perfume, Michael by Michael Kors. I happen to really like Michael (at least in extrait de parfum concentration which I dab, not spray), which is a big tuberose with a sexy and sweet incense base, and I take offense both for Mr. Kors and for myself. While Kim Kardashian (the perfume, not the questionable celeb) is, indeed, built around something that smells like cheap white flowers, it lacks the exhilarating character of tubersoe. Actually, it just lacks character, period.

There's the obligatory sweet mandarin orange in the top, a sweet musky thing in the base, and a whole lot of sweet nothing for the two or three hours the perfume stays on my skin. The only thing mildly interesting about Kim Kardashian's perfume is the question how long it is going to remain in production before disappearing into the land of eternal discounters.

Kim Kardashian EDP ($35, 1 oz) is available from Sephora. They give away samples with just about everything you buy there.
