This Is What Kim Kardashian’s New Crystal Fragrance Actually Smells Like

After plenty of Insta-teasing, the three KKW fragrances from Kim Kardashian West have launched. Here are the major deets: Each is heavy on the gardenia (Kardashian West’s favorite flower) with one citrus version and one oud version; the crystal-shaped bottles were inspired by the healing crystals she turned to after trying times in the last year (i.e. after the Paris robbery); and they are limited edition. Despite the likely flurry to get your hands on one, the fragrances are intended to instill a sense of calm and zen.

Want our take? We got our hands on one—the central signature scent KKW Crystal Gardenia—and gave it a whirl around the office. Below, our take.

Katie Becker: “I actually like Bae best of the KKW Fragrances I’ve smelled so far. It’s a vanilla-y sweet scent with some depth and, if we’re talking about Valentine’s Day here, my boyfriend loves it when I smell like candy. It’s very distinct and the kind of smell that lingers on someone’s scarf or chair, or the room they just left. I think there’s something kind of sweet about that.”
