green bergamot, green mandarin, pink pepper orpur, peach nectar
ylang ylang moheli orpur, Turkish rose absolute, jasmine sambac absolute
vetiver Haiti orpur, sandalwood Australia orpur, golden amber, musk

The marketing for this scent overshadows the scent itself.
It’s light, comforting, soft, fruity and slightly animalic. The longer you wear it the softer and fruitier it gets on the skin. The dry down is where it’s at. It’s not a must-have by any means but if you want to foray into fragrance, this isn’t a bad start.
With that said it’s nothing to write home about, and IMO I don’t think that’s a cast of her actual body. It’s just marketing.
davozaq11 – :
Don’t worry ladies, this is actually NOT her body. She has had a ton of plastic surgery to make herself look this way. This body is as much her fantasy as it is the most of us. Very pointless to argue over it.

I previously reviewed this…and I am now changing my mind about this scent. Yes, it goes on like soooo many typical mainstream “mall scents”…lol….but…I have found that in the dry-down is where the magic appears.
This one drys down to a “chypre” type scent on me. Everyone’s chemistry is different,so this may not be the case when someone else wears this. I feel that if I smelled this w/o knowing who’s scent this was, or, for that matter…saw the bottle…I would of given this more of a thumbs up ! The dry down on me is…heaven.
Just sayin’….lol.

Being a true perfume lover and in the spirit of this forum I felt the need to put forth an honest unbiased review on Body. So here you go:
I went for it and put aside my feelings for the person behind this perfume. I got my bottle today. I really like the concept behind the box and the way it opens up to expose the “bottle”. This really was a creative endeavor and I can appreciate that. The bottle in itself is a piece of art. Very weighted and has the look of stone. While it does feel odd to me that someone had a bottle created from a cast of their own body, I imagine if I was lucky enough to have a body like that maybe I would as well – but my bottle would look more on the lines of Sponge Bob.
Now down to the juice – I don’t know why but I was expecting something loud and in your face floral. This to me was neither of those. My impression was this is good. It was familiar to me and it certainly is on the same vein of Jadore. As for silage and longevity they are ok. Silage is close and while only wearing a few hours I can still smell lightly on skin. I think the price tag is decent – I feel maybe $45 would have been the magic number but it’s not bad. I would display it in the bathroom vanity as a good conversation piece. So in closing I think it’s not bad and it actually surprised me in being better then expected. Give it a whirl perhaps start with a decant and go from there.

I just got a bottle. Mostly because I collect bottles as well as fragrances. This is very very similar to J’adore eau lumière. If you like eau lumière then you will like this. I find it meh. I sprayed one wrist with KKW and one with eau lumière and it’s so similar but I prefer the J’adore. I say this is a pass unless you want it for the bottle. Dior did it better.
vitalik0402 – :
I give Kim A+ for concept and all advertisment. The bottle is beyond gorgeous to me. It’s like a fine sculpture. This bottle is my ‘Love at first sight’.<3 I swear to myself that I have to get it right after I see the picture.
Unfortunately, I’m quite disappointed for the scent. They described that it has ‘Orpur’ standard notes but it’s too light and there is nothing special at all.
It starts with juicy peach. Then dried down to jasmine and a hint of rose (really resembles to Dior J’adore EDT as other reviews say) and end with musky woodsy notes which very very close (almost cannot smell) to the skin.
Maybe I give it too high expectation because it has ‘BOOTYFUL’ bottle but the scent is not that ‘BAM!’ as I expected. However it’s not bad at all. Just give it a try.
Overall I think KKW Body is not just a fragrance. It’s a beautiful ‘Piece of art’.<333
Karolis – :
This is Kim Kardashian making some money om selling her body cheap ..
* I bought it even though it’s disgusting to have such a bottle however I wanted to know about the smell
* now i can honestly say that is a cheap version of j’adore.
End of the story.
pipingut – :
look at the hate. If you don’t own the fragrance or have never tried it, you should keep your comments to yourself. People have nothing better do do than to hate for no reason. My suggestion is to do your own thing when it comes to frags. Buy what makes YOU happy . If you have never tried the juice your opinion doesn’t matter. I’m not speaking about this fragrance only. I see this a lot and thought it was time I said something

verdiktus – :
A close friend of mine kindly let me spray test it from his bottle as he knows how much I love the original J’Adore EDP. And here is our review about this one (as I have agreed with my friend’s opinion).
The fragrance does smell fresh and a little similar to Christian Dior J’Adore EDT 2011/Lumiere EDT (but not as sophisticated, and smooth as J’Adore). The ylang ylang and pink pepper notes did stand out to my nose but quickly got “soften” by the soft peach, jasmine and orange. No musk and very quiet rose. There is something “raw” about the scent and not “mature” enough. Its smell is a little “rigid” at first, but after 5 minutes, it got “under controlled” by other notes. It is DEFINITELY more of a floral fragrance than a sweet fruity one for sure. The dry down was pleasant but had nothing special to offer further. Our mutual “feeling” about this fragrance was like an experience of being in the same car with a teenager driver, like my son 🙂 Sure, he can drive and knows how to control the vehicle, but he is still young and lack of situational experiences along the road 🙂 There have been some minor “hesitations” here and there any time he drives me, but he has sustained the situation well enough, and we still got to enjoy the rest of the trips 🙂
Having said all that, KKW Body is a fragrance with NICE scents and I like it. I will surely keep it as a gift, or grab it at a good deal, but I won’t buy it at its original price $60 (plus shipping + tax). I’d rather invest in J’Adore 🙂 Because it is now sold out on its home website, opportunistic sellers from other websites have already cranked up the price. Sillage and longevity were quite great on my skin. Scent-wise, I personally prefer Kim’s other fragrances better in my collection (the Crystal Gardenia collection, the Gold…and especially the Pure Honey and the True Reflection).
And for the bottle design: it is well made, heavy like “sandy stone”, interesting material to imitate the look of a “statue”, with an admirable math calculation, presenting closely enough the proportion of Kim’s body and still be able to fill it with 3.4 oz of liquid. I personally don’t like the spray part color at all. It does not match with the rest. I do like the box that stores the bottle though. I think it is a smart idea.
My friend collected this fragrance mainly for the design of the bottle, as it is to him, VERY “uniquely different” (none of us has seen any type of bottle like this one before), and considered a part of “history of fragrance” from this time period. It does not matter wether we personally like this “history” or not, it still happened as “a fact” or “an event”!
To wrap it up: I will always remember this fragrance, not just for its scent, or its bottle design, or the “stories” about it…but also for a GREAT time that I spent with my friend! We laughed, we joked, we were catching up with our personal life events…on a beautiful, sunny Mother’s Day of 2018, over a simple pizza luncheon with the most yummy cocktail’s recipe that my friend made especially for me!

Ok the reviews on this page are embarrassing. Don’t review a perfume based on your opinion of the creator. Honestly, get off the page. You think people come here to read about your opinion of Kim kardashian? No. So keep that to yourself.
The quality of the packaging and the bottle is fantastic. It’s heavy, it feels like real stone, you can tell a lot of work went into this. It looks expensive.
Smell: it smells like j’adore but greener. I was expecting more of a chypre, but this is more of a floral. I wish the pink pepper was more prominent. Not a lot of musk on my skin, and lasting power is great.
TSV777 – :
I like the silver toilette paper head, it gives it a surreal edge.
viktor-oil – :
Another “Style Over Substance” situation.
I’ll be the first to admit, I bought KKW Body for the bottle. It all makes perfect sense for a celebrity like Kim Kardashian to release a fragrance in this type of bottle. It’s so far unhinged that it starts to become sane. The bottle has a sandy texture to it, that goes along with the clay theme.
Unfortunately, I have to echo the other few reviews and state that KKW Body is wholly generic. Such a disappointment! It opens with fresh, clean, white florals sprinkled with whispering fruity accords. The ylang-ylang is a main star of this fragrance, and it quickly enters to provide a very green backdrop with an ever-so discreet banana nuance. At this stage, KKW Body eventually allows some of the rose accord to “peek-a-boo” in a discreet manner. The base is entirely non-descript; it’s soft and clean.
In short, the scent is shower-fresh ‘n clean, white florals with only a slither of the listed notes. It’s not a bad scent, just boring. It smells like a body mist from the late 90s/early 2000s.
The bottle 10/10
The scent 5/10
Баронесса – :
Received mine ;o) It is a perfume for the eyes and hands, not for the nose, because it is so generic, no chance to remember, but it can be described as ‘nice’ – synthetic jasmine powdery sweetish floral.
medegomedge – :
I love the bottle! It looks and feels like a sand sculpture and the box is really pretty too. I collect “Booty Babe Art” by an artist named Spencer Davis and this bottle reminds me of his work. However, the fragrance is booooring! Smells like a J’Adore knockoff. I mean it’s not terrible, it’s nice enough, but I wanted something as daring as the bottle.
Oh well, bottle can go in the display case with all my other booty art, lol!
rru888Bessinepome – :
Well,….got mine today in the mail. I can see the slight vibe of CD J’Adore in the beginning…yup!….but the dry-down vibes into more of a Michael Kors…Ralph Lauren Woman type vibe to my nose. It is mainstrean for sure…and it is a NICE scent…nothing extraordinary.
But I like it…lol. It goes on with an oomph..but that is rather short-lived….sillage and projection are on the “low” side, IMO. It is pretty much as I expected it to be…aiming to the mainstream..typical scent family.
I also feel that the “bottle” and the “scent” don’t really “match”…???….oh well, whatever…lol.
EDIT: This may sound strange…???…but to my nose in the deep dry-down of this scent…I am getting a Nina Ricci L’Air du Temps smell…whoa !!!…and I will re-state that Michael Kors vibe as well…Sillage is actually better than I first tought…???…getting better….we shall see upon a “full wear” of this.
airtramp – :
Absolutely wonderful fragrance.Smells very high end, across between Michael Kors and Christian Dior j’adore as well as her Crystal Gardenia perfume.Longevity and sillage r both excellent.Love it♥️beautiful:-)

It´s all about the money
I don´t think it´s funny
To see you fade away…
(Meja – All ´Bout the Money)
Almost everything that needs to be said about the bottle has already been said. Yes, the bottle is silly & awkward. I´ve read a lot of about Kim Kardashian´s narcissism. But it´s all about money. She´s a go-getter selling herself from the bottom to the top /literally/.
So, let´s talk about this fragrance. I´m not much surprised that it´s nice. It opens with fruity notes /ripe peach & fresh bergamot/, then it turns into a pleasant floral heart /jasmine with a few drops of rose oil/, the drydown is woody & warm due to sandalwood, vetiver & amber. Inoffensive & enjoyable – but there are better celebrity fragrances /moreover, there are better Kim Kardashian´s fragrances/. And just three words about longevity – weaker than weak.
Baby333 – :
She wasn’t slick making a dupe of Ja’dore, one of the best selling fragrances of our time. Generic and boring.
artemka74 – :
You’ve smelled it a zillion times before.
I was genuinly looking forward to it because while I don’t like Kim the notes sounded promising to me, but unfortunately it’s very generic, boring scent that’s been done so many times before. Nothing unique. It reminds me of some perfume that my grandma used to have. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a pretty scent, but it’s something you smell in the streets every day.
It smells clean and fresh, very floral, not fruity or sweet. The biggest disappointment is the longevity. It lasts a few minutes and then it’s gone. On clothes it’s more woody but the longevity is not any better. There are hundreds like it with much better lasting power.
I will keep the bottle and use it as a home decoration somewhere. On a shelf. Behind books.
6/10

I received mine today and it’s quite the surprise. It truly is a musky fruit and I’m liking it. It’s different, especially from KKW, since hers are usually florals all day. This is a very juicy, fruity but at the same time woody and musky scent. I can’t even say it’s similar to anything else because it’s such an original smell. I don’t smell a naked body, I know that much. Maybe as people start receiving their bottles others can weigh in.
1 day later. I’m such a waffler. I’m not liking this anymore. It seems the more I smell it, the less I like it. I think it’s the musk. It is toooo musky. Too musky for my liking anyway. Maybe this is what they meant when they said it smells ” like a body” but it smells like a body that needs a shower.
free2005 – :
If Body is similar to any of Kim K’s previous offerings (florals galore), I suspect this to be a bright jasmine with a juicy peach co-star, and creamy base.
vasekk – :
No matter what kind of negative and hateful stuff people spew about the Kardashian’s I have to say I have been relatively impressed with Kim K’s fragrances. I loved her Gold edition of her original and I was really excited by the BFF collection (or whatever it was called) which unfortunately sold out before I could get my hands on it.
This however just makes every fibre of my being cringe. I’m all for creative and artistic nudity that’s not the issue here. My issue is the actual presentation and finished product. How to say this nicely…it just looks cheap and tacky and the sort of thing you’d find in dollar tree. Sometimes you have to over look a bottle that doesn’t meet your personal atheistic because the juice is so good but I can’t imagine anyone in their right mind thinks this bottle looks decent. It looks unfinished!
The only note here that even remotely appeals to me is pink pepper. The composition just seems haphazard. Like no thought or intellect has gone into choosing what notes would compliment each other. She’s literally thrown the kitchen sink into this. Victoria’s Secret mists have more thought out sophisticated compositions.
I’m still curious about her brand and what’s she’s building and like I said I still own Gold and will happily purchase it again and again. This however is a swing and miss.

THE FLACON:
1937: Schiaparelli – Shocking
1990: Oriflame – Secude
1993: Jean Paul Gaultier – Classique
1997: Sonia Rykiel
.
.
.
2018: KKW – Body
Gaultier was never the first nor second with the body shaped flacon, and I am sure Schiaparelli was not the first either – if we look at the flacon history among the last centuries.
There is nothing groundbreaking about a body shaped flacon. The question is not really “Who does it first?”, but “Who does it better?”
I think Kim is a genius for using her own body as a form of arts. Yes, arts. Just because she has big boobs and buns, and is controversial, doesn’t mean she has not got taste or style. Her body is really “that” iconic and as real as the flacon is. I also love the idea of the naked body. Just because, perfumes are best worn naked and with no clothes on.
I think some people get offended because of the nipples. JPG’s Le Male and Classique flankers (2010 and 2016) are also naked. They just don’t have nipples, but they are naked.
The truth is, not everyone can do a body shaped flacon even if they have “the body”. Would it be as interesting if Kate Moss did one? Or Naomi, or Jennifer Lopez? It would have looked quite average.
If Kim K does her next flacon with the shape of her head, I’d say “Go For It.” People are going to compare, but they could only wish to have a replica of their face and body.
…
“If people are offended by a naked body, they should go talk with the naked statues on the streets of Rome and Paris, or in the Louvre.”

“Pure class in a bottle.”

Atrogssaurnot – :
Should’nt the bottle be more (spray-)tanned?
For those of you who repeat on the JPG issue:
JPG themselves copied Schiaparelli’s Shocking bottle design.
To me this bottledesign concept is a round thing:
KKW is so full of herself, this bottle idea is just a logic next step. And wise marketingwise.
I still think the bottle is a bit too 3D, if you know what I mean.
vitaliks – :
Its on the kkw site for sale now….lol im not buying it ! Her kkw kimoji scents were a drama rip off disaster…then most ppl were so dissapointed in them as quality was like a Victoria Secret body spray….I wont be surprised this will be on Ebay in less than a few weeks! Easy pass…Id rather buy Tom Ford!

The bottle design is a step forward from Classique Jean Paul Gaultier’s bottle.Step forward,but in the wrong direction.
sanek2010 – :
I think they ruined the bottle design with the boring cap. It’s uninteresting, generic and lacks any of the aesthetics of the rest of the presentation.
quv236elipseskism – :
yang yang and samba jasmine…
vlad54 – :
Does JPG own the design of a female bust? I assume not! Over many centuries the female body has been an art form well befor JPG even was around. Kim kardashian probably sees the female body as art and she clearly loves her own body so she decided To model the bottle on herself and not out right copy other brands.
I’m not a KK Fan but I feel as though many people are attacking celebrity fragrances due to there distaste of the celeb. How about look at the scent and bottle and not the name.
knopa_lebedeva – :
Im not buying this…doesnt look interesting….id rather buy JPG ..on discount.
Million555 – :
Celebrity Perfumes,I disagree, scent is hardly bread and water. You don’t NEED it. Part of the experience is the aesthetics. Criticizing the bottle, or the maker of the bottle, or the culture behind the scent, is completely legitimate. Heck there are people who buy perfumes just for the bottle! If you don’t like the aesthetics, and I can’t imagine many women are longing to grab miniature versions of this pop tart’s breasts every time they want to add to spritz, you’re not going to enjoy the way you feel wearing the scent.

yang yang lol you mean ylang ylang

Hurray for yang yang (not yin yang!) and samba dancing jasmine.
Fragrantica, please check your spelling!
Sphinx78 – :
Although the notes sound not too bad and follow the floral (think tuberose) trend, marketing is poor – the bottle looks like J.P. Gaultier and the name is same as Burberry’s.
tby078Diobtetty – :
It sounds intriguing! I was considering purchasing this as a gift for a female, but a few posters on another site claim they’ve smelled it already, & that it’s quite unisex. My all time favorite fragrance is unisex so I’m wondering if I’d like it for myself? Anyone smelled it yet here? Do you think it smells universal? LMK
