It seems like almost every celebrity both big and small, has released a fragrance at some point. Naturally, the ultimate modern celeb Kim Kardashian, has her own lineup of scents. So, what are the best Kim Kardashian perfumes?
The original line appears to have been put into a separate brand (or discontinued entirely) than the newer KKW perfumes, which features the rest of the family.
However, in this post, I’m going to pull from both and select the greatest of them. As such, this is a blend of older releases and some of the latest, as it gets closer to the bottom.
The older scents are usually still available for really cheap and they did have some good stuff. The newer perfumes are a mix of the best offerings of Khloe, Kim, Kourtney, and Kendall.
What are the Best Kim Kardashian Fragrances?
Best Kim Kardashian Perfume (Older Releases)
Kim Kardashian Gold Eau De Parfum Spray, 3.4 oz
KK Gold is fairly warm with amber, but not completely heavy and enveloping.
The patchouli and musk, add some further spice to the composition, but Gold always retains its sweetness. A well-balanced fragrance, that leans towards the unisex end of things.
However, it is an overall very attractive perfume, and one that is quite a steal at such a low price point.
Top Woody Gourmand Scent
Kim Kardashian True Reflection Women Eau De Parfum Spray, 3.4 Ounce
It utilizes the patchouli to give it that familiar, sweet baked goods/candy aroma, that is found in so many other scents. While it isn’t exactly ‘unique’, this one is a good example of the style for a low price.
The rest of the wear gives you a nice plum note, creamy floral highlights, and a fresh woodsy/musky finish. True Reflection has a good balance to it, not sickening in its sweetness, but has enough to make it delectable.
Light, but a surprising amount of depth, in this price range.
Best Selling Kim Kardashian Fragrance
Kim Kardashian for Women By Kardashian Edp Spray, 3.4 Ounce
At times, you will experience a creamy sandalwood or a bit of musk, but mostly you will get a great floral-based fragrance for really cheap. Beyond the gardenia and tuberose, there is orange blossom, and a good deal of jasmine.
This fragrance is very well done and super attractive. The end of the wear, has more of the wood note and musk, but the main draw of gardenia still reigns supreme.
One of the better performing scents of the line, in terms of staying power.
Top Sweetly Scented Perfume
Kim Kardashian Pure Honey Eau de Parfum Spray for Women, 3.4 Ounce
Floral and musk notes add to the composition, but it’s mostly about that nectary honey aroma, especially at the start.
Some of the other scents on the list, are fairly unisex, but this one is much more feminine and a solid option for daily wear. Sweet honey with a light floral bouquet dry down, pretty simple, but quite nice.
A good dose of a natural sort of sweetness, instead of something that you’d find in a bakery. This is of course, one for those who want an inexpensive honey scent, and you indeed get a good deal.
The Khloe Diamond
KKW Fragrance Diamonds Khloé – Sapphire Diamond Khloe– This is a newer release from the KKW line, but an interesting take on the sweet gourmand category. In some ways, it is completely familiar, just presented in different way.
It kicks off with a nice blend of citrus and blueberries, that will be wrapped up in the usual vanilla/tonka bean blend. However, there is also a marine note and some light floral touches that give it some distinction.
This is going to be one for those who love the sweet and vanilla sorts of scents. It’s got a very mass appealing vibe, easy to wear, and the performance is pretty darn good.
Creamy dessert topped with blueberries and a fresh sea aroma lurking.
Gorgeous Gourmand
Caramel Orchid by KKW– The opening of Caramel Orchid goes sweet, obviously. The caramel note with cacao lead things off. However, there is a davana note here, there gives it an additional sweetness/fruitiness/herbal kind of aroma. It really helps to create a distinct aroma.
Initially, this will be a sugary kind of sweetness, along with vanilla really coming through for the duration.
But, we will get to a more floral and musky heart and dry down period. Heliotrope, musk, and some cashmere wood.
You get a sort of powdery chocolate and vanilla scent for a portion of the time here. Then, it’ll be a muskier and cleaner sort of scent. Not super groundbreaking, but another good option if you want a delicious gourmand that isn’t too childish.
Sugary Vanilla and Amber
Nude Lips by KKW– So, all of the giant lip bottles are kind of weird looking from this series, but the scent itself in Nude Lips is pretty nice. Nice, but rather simple.
Warm vanilla is going to be the main attraction here. Nude Lips does start off with a spicy blend of notes up top, smells like cinnamon is the heaviest of them. Amber and some floral notes give it a nice balance in the middle act.
White floral notes. They aren’t massively involved for the entire duration, but there. Sometimes creamy, others it comes across more powdery. In the end, a light sillage, solid performance, and really enjoyable vanilla based experience.
Top KKW Kourtney Diamond
KKW Fragrance Diamond Kourtney – Ruby Diamond– I really like this one as it turns away from a lot of the usual sweetness from this line and gives you a unique spicy kick. Red ginger, pink pepper, pimento, and sandalwood all contribute to Kourtney Ruby Diamond.
The orchid joins the spices up top, which does indeed put out a dark red feeling, with its aroma. Then, the rose comes in and settles things down along with some creamy vanilla.
Ruby Diamond has more of a classic feel of spiced floral notes. It might not be for everyone, since it presents a different kind of character than what many are used to today, with popular releases.
This is more of a modern take on the late 80s-early 90s powerhouse. This doesn’t have that same level of power, but respect for coming with something different.
The Best Kendall Jenner Fragrance (Thus far)
Kendall by KKW Fragrance Olive– Olive isn’t super complex, comes across as unisex, but is still a very good release. Rose and amber are going to be playing a sizeable role here, but the fresh aldehydes are awesome early on.
As KKW describes it, the aldehydes are “immersed in a crystal clear pool of water”.
The rose note here isn’t in total control ever, Kendall’s perfume has more of a blended vibe, with dry earthy notes coming up from the base. Vetiver and patchouli only add to that fresh start.
Later, it really starts going away from the rose and much more toward the fresh woodsy aroma. It still has a nice degree of sweetness from the amber, but I dig that earthiness/outdoorsy scent.
Kim’s Diamond
Emerald Diamond by KKW– For the Kim Kardashian version of the diamond series, you get something that is clean, green, and floral. But, it’s one that isn’t boring, by any means.
The top is an evergreen accord, paired with a green mandarin, and orchid. So, yep, you’re getting a fresh sort of fragrance that will round out with a pretty awesome pear note. It doesn’t go full forest mode, but it does have a strong element early on…dewy, also.
As it dries down, Emerald Diamond takes on more of a clean soapy sort of floral aroma. Violet, orchid, orange blossom, and passion flower.
No worries, it still retains its sweetness and fruitiness during all of this, just to a lesser degree.
Something in the Clouds
Opal Drip by KKW– Opal Drip has become popular as an affordable option that smells similar to Baccarat Rouge 540. Though, it’s more like Cloud by Ariana Grande or In the Stars by B&BW.
This is one with a more sugary sweet quality to it, but opens up with an herbal aroma sitting underneath.
This one has more of a focus on the lavender note versus the praline and coconut that you get with the Ariana scent.
Dries down with lavender, amber, musk, and other floral notes. But, much of the sweetness remains, just in a more presentable form. All with a bright citrus top, which hangs around and contributes nicely.

Best Men’s Colognes started back in 2013, as a way to share my learning experiences with different fragrances, as I dove head first into the hobby. Since then, I have written hundreds of reviews and other pages about perfumes and colognes.
