This scent is completely different from KKW Crystal Gardenia. The website HAD listed the notes as:
TOP: orange oil, lemon, pomelo, passionfruit and pink pepper
MIDDLE: gardenia, tiare flower and tuberose
BASE: musk, white cedar extract, amber and australian sandalwood.
Based on the original notes listed, this scent should smell very similar to KKW Crystal Gardenia, since the middle and base notes are almost identical (minus the white cedar extract).
When I received this scent I was baffled at how the notes could be so similar but the perfumes could smell so different. None the less, I thought the scent was very pleasant and it reminded me of Jennifer Aniston’s Beachscape/ Dolce and Gabanna Light Blue.
About a year later, the ingredients list was updated to this:
TOP: Orange Oil Brazil, Italian Lemon Orpur, Tahitian Pomello, Purple Passionfruit Scentrek, Baies Rose Orpur
MIDDLE: Pink Jasmin, Blue Iris Scentrek, Yellow Nectarine, Purple Peony, Apple Blossom
BASE: Serenolide and Silvanone Supra Musk,White Cedarwood, Sensual Amber, Sustainable Sandalwood Australia, Musk
The UPDATED list makes much more sense and is an accurate description of what the fragrance smells like. The updated list also mimics Jennifer Anniston’s Beachscape rather closely, which also makes sense.
Moving on, you can definitely smell the purple peony, pink jasmine and apple blossom. Theres definitely no gardenia or tuberose in this so I’m not sure why this is called “KKW Crystal Gardenia Citrus.” Overall, the marketing was good, but inaccurate and KKW NEEDS to do a better job of not making these kinds of mistakes/ misleading her customers with a false ingredients list. The updated list is exactly what the fragrance smells like. It is a lovely scent that smells very pretty, uplifting and fresh. Very citrusy and fruity, very light and airy.
It doesn’t last very long and definitely performs more like a body splash than an EDP. I would recommend KKW Crystal Gardenia over the Citrus, but you can’t really go wrong with either.

I have KKW body and actually like that one. This is very mediocre at best. I am not commenting because of my feelings of the person behind it but an honest review. This is nothing to write home about and if your tempted to get it – I would probably pass. It’s generic and I have smelled so much nicer perfumes out there. I have a full bottle to swap.

Although I love gardenia, I find most gardenias to be a little too heavy and creamy for my skin. The citrus in this brightens it up and makes it wearable for me. On the plus side the dry down is a fruity floral. Yay!

I enjoy all three of them of the Gardenia Crystal collection from KKW line. The Oud is definitely for a colder months. Gardenia is for evening wear all year round and I save this pretty Citrus Crystal for those hot summer days.
I already mentioned the elegant, well made, thoughtful and modern packaging already in my other reviews for this line, so no need to repeat it 🙂
Gardenia Citrus opened up with a fresh and light combination of citrusy lemon/pomelo scents to my nose (NOT at all sharp as grapefruit), and then a lovely gardenia, and a pleasantly fruity tuberose to stay lingered, caressing my skin for hours. I found white floral fragrances from KK’s line are clean, fresh, and not cloying to my nose as in many other brands (some are really rotten or “sourly wet”). So far I have not a single complain about the tuberose in KK’s fragrances.
To me, I consider this whole Gardenia line is a success, as I don’t regret having them at all, not one second!

This is my least favorite of the Crystal Gardenia line. It must be the citrus that puts me off, because I really love the other two fragrances in this line but in this one , no.

A modern white floral to break the stranglehold of the sweet candy fruitchoulis and gourmand entries in the market.
Opens with a citrus that doesnt sway bitter and the gardenia presence is a subtle blu cheese gardenia. I agree it gives off a clean shampoo vibe but its more than that and worth a try. Modern, clean, not the big femme fatale, but the every day girl next door floral to smell pretty and fresh. One of the better celeb scents to hit the market.

Just received my bottle today, no doubt it smells pretty, feminine bright floral with a hint of creamy citrus, it lingers nicely on the skin, but unfortunately, it smells like shampoo to my nose, ok, in the nicest way, but it isn’t as good as I thought it would be..I feel I paid too much for what it is..it is kind of similar to the JLo fragrances,…plus longevity isn’t good, it really turns quiet very fast…I will add that the bottle looks nice, but there are better celebrity fragrances out there..the gardenia and tiare are non existent., tuberose !? No, animalic, no…..it has a cheap fruity vibe too..kind of disappointed with that one,..might go to swap.

My ultimate favourite scent from the KKW fragrance collection.An incredibly wonderful floral,citrus scent which lingers beautifully.An absolute pleasure to wear.Love this awesome perfume.Worth trying!
CaleToopelt – :
I love this scent. It’s a sweet floral smell. It’s very bright and fruity and dries down to more of a floral scent. It sits close to the skin very fast, a bit too fast for my liking. Within 30 mins I can only smell it if I sniff my skin. I love the scent but I would not buy this again because of how short it lasts.

bought all 3 & really love them !!! the gardenia citrus is a sparkly floral…..very zesty & clean but yet floral 🙂
kovalenko1983 – :
Gorgeous bottle and packaging, the little crystals are such a nice touch! The fragrance itself is tart and sweet to begin with, drying down to a very clean just out of the shower vibe.

I can’t decide if I like this or not. It’s very generic when I first spray it. I keep getting whiffs of it from my wrists after 5-10 minutes and it’s so good! Subtle, fresh, feminine and just a hint of citrus.
RRRusel – :
To me, it smells just like D&G The One, Rose. I can’t add it though.
HixOrbini – :
I am so happy I picked this up. I actually wish I had purchased the larger bottle. It smells like Pantene shampoo and conditioner in the very best way. The Orange oil in the opening is so realistic and beautiful. This is a white floral, but not nauseatingly so. Fresh, dewey, clean and sunny. The silage is not huge, but longevity is definitely longer than average. I can absolutely tell that there are quite a few natural ingredients used here. I know this was a limited release, but I really hope KKW and her team keep it around for a while so I can stock up!

Reminds me of a pleasant smelling shampoo! Clean, citrusy, floral and a bit sweet. Great for daytime and I think I would wear this all year round. Doesnt smell like other celebrity perfumes that are too generic or synthetic smelling. Beautiful packaging! gorgeous and classy! I am not a Kardasian fan but I think she did a great job!
nvt804Unlogrere – :
Surprised by how much I enjoy this; usually fragrances with tuberose aren’t my cup of tea as it overtakes everything else, but here it is perfectly balanced with the gardenia and tiare flowers. The orange, lemon and passionfruit liven the fragrance up and add a drop of clean & fresh sweetness, whilst the woody notes gives everything some depth. The only downside scent-wise is that the fragrance is quite linear.
The fragrance lasts between 6 and 7 hours on me, and it goes close to the skin quickly. Not the best, but I think it’s pretty good for the price [£38 for 30ml – including international postage & custom tax].
An impulsive buy that I don’t regret.
Camyil – :
Got it today. Happily surprised. Nice white floral mix without the tuber rose taking over as it can. Almost like a hair spray smell when first sprayed. However still feminine and good to wear whenever.

Me and my mom recently received the KKW Crystal Gardenia Citrus from our friend from USA. And lo and behold, that fragrance smells amazing! Orange, lemon, pomelo, passionfruit and gardenia with tiare flowers is a great combination!
I may not be the fan of the Kardashians (I, my mom and my sisters are serious Melanie Martinez fans and we love Melanie’s fragrance which is Cry Baby) but the KKW Crystal Gardenia Citrus is now our 2nd favorite fragrance!
