Kim Kardashian by Kim Kardashian

In this review
In 2009, Kim Kardashian entered the fragrance world with her eponymous debut, a white floral Eau de Parfum that quickly became a staple for fans of celebrity scents. Created by perfumer Claude Dir, this fragrance was designed to capture the glamour and femininity associated with the reality star, blending tuberose, gardenia, and jasmine with a warm, woody base. Priced affordably between $30 and $100 for a 100ml bottle, it offered an accessible entry point into the celebrity fragrance market.
At its heart, Kim Kardashian is a tuberose-forward composition with animalic and lactonic undertones, giving it a creamy, slightly sensual character. The top notes of honeysuckle, African orange flower, and mandarin orange provide a bright, citrusy opening that quickly gives way to a rich floral bouquet. The base of tonka bean, musk, sandalwood, and woodsy notes anchors the scent, making it suitable for both day and night wear.
Despite its moderate performance – longevity and sillage are both rated as moderate – the fragrance has maintained a loyal following. On Fragrantica, it holds an overall rating of 3.71 out of 5, with users praising its versatility and value. While not a powerhouse, it remains a solid choice for those seeking a classic white floral with a modern twist.
