Kim Kardashian launches new crystal-themed fragrance

Kim Kardashian had a launch party her KKW Crystal Gardenia fragrances on Tuesday.

True to form, the 37-year-old flooded her Snapchat Story with updates from the festivities, which co-starred her mother Kris Jenner and sister Khloe Kardashian.

As her Snapchat attests, Kim apparently went bra-less beneath a full-sleeved sheer white Dolce And Gabbana gown that played up her cleavage.

She filmed herself alongside Cassandra Grey, widow of the late ex-Paramount CEO Brad Grey and founder of beauty shop Violet Grey.

‘I am here with Cassandra Grey,’ said Kim, prompting Cassandra to cut in: ‘Hi!’

‘And,’ continued Kim, ‘we are at our KKW launch party for the fragrance, and it is launching tomorrow on our website and at Violet Grey.’

‘Crystal Gardenia,’ Cassandra cooed.

‘So, we’re so excited,’ plugged Kim, ‘and I will share with you guys how the evening is going. It’s about to start!

‘Wearing Dolce And Gabbana,’ the mother of three said, running the camera up and down her figure to indicate how the dress accented her curves.

Shortly thereafter came a selfie video in which Kim was stood beside her 62-year-old momager, who was classically chic in black.

‘And of course, Mama K showed up to host it with us, so, we’re gonna have an amazing – ‘ Kim began, before Kris kissed the air near her cheek.

Though her mother’s lips had not in fact touched her, Kim vamped with a grin: ‘Dare ruin my makeup?’ getting a laugh out of Kris.

Kim soldiered ahead: ‘We’re gonna have an amazing dinner outside, too, and also, you guys have to check out VioletGrey.com, because we have something amazing coming up tomorrow too, so stay tuned.’

As a reminder of her indefatigable promotional ability, Kris noted to the camera, for the benefit of those watching at home: ‘And she smells good.’

Kim’s Snapchat Story provided generous views of the actual party set up, which included sugar-crystal-encrusted sticks floating in beverages.

Crystals were also plopped onto the long dining table among the candles.

A photo showed the party’s guests sat along the long table – and another, closer snapshot offered a glimpse at the card that identified Kim’s specific place setting.

Kim posted a photo of a flower poking out from a clear vase, as well as of strings of flowers hanging from a patio ceiling overhead.

One photo was devoted entirely to a mass of crystals just sitting there.

Khloe – Kim’s little sister, who is rumored to be pregnant via her Cleveland Cavalier beau Tristan Thompson – also turned up on Kim’s Snapchat Story.

In a sizzling photo, Kim posed up a storm beside her younger sibling, who modeled a sleek black blazer with matching fishnets and boots, plus a black bodysuit.

Naturally, Kim filmed the pair of them for her Snapchat Story, capturing a view of Khloe fixing her hair as Kim began discussing the party.

‘Khloe and I at my fragrance launch,’ she said, smooching the air, ‘dinner. It’s so pretty here, you guys.’

At this juncture, Khloe decided it was her moment to step in, which she did by announcing: ‘It’s gorgeous. you’ve no idea.’

‘There’s gardenias hanging from everywhere,’ said Kim. ‘There’s crystal healers.’

‘Crystals everywhere,’ said Khloe, after which Kim added helpfully: ‘There’s crystals everywhere. Candles.’

‘I feel the zen,’ said Khloe.

Kim of course brought up ‘my scent. It’s so good,’ and Khloe followed up: ‘Everyone smells divine, so good.’

‘Thank you – oh, I was gonna call you Keeks. Thank you, Kokes, for coming,’ said Kim.

‘Thank you, Keeks, for having three fragrances,’ quoth Khloe, insinuating one last plug into the conversation with her trademark subtlety.

Earlier in the day, before the party started off, Kim had offered a bit of background information about her fragrances on Snapchat.

She filmed a box of the perfume as she opened it, revealing both the idiosyncratically-shaped bottle and a small envelope.

‘It’s finally here – my fragrance, Crystal Gardenia. I’ve been working on this for over a year,’ said Kim.

Family time; 'Khloe and I at my fragrance launch,' she said, smooching the air, 'dinner; it's so pretty here, you guys'

‘And I’ve had fragrances before, but this one I have full creative control, and it’s like a whole new chapter for me, so I’m really excited to show you guys the packaging.’

Kim explained that ‘Inside the box, it’ll come with a little pouch that has about three crystals inside with a little note about what the crystals mean. So, I’m really excited for you guys to smell this gardenia. It’s amazing.’

As another video began, three boxes lay open in front of Kim – each one holding a bottle of perfume that sat in a bed of crystals.

‘Now, these are my press-boxes, which I love and I’m so proud of. We have the bottle kind of submerged in crystals, and these are the same crystals that you will get in the little pouch, but just not this many,’ she clarified.

Keeping the frame on the perfume that sat in white crystals, she said: ‘But this is the Crystal Gardenia, which, the top notes are gardenia and water lily and tuberose, and tuberose is one of my favorite scents also.’

In the middle box, the bottle settled amid orange crystals, and when Kim brought the camera to it she said: ‘Then, this is the Crystal Gardenia Oud, which is really inspired by the Middle East for me, with top notes of lavender and exotic oud.’

Added she: ‘And, by the way, people that don’t like the scent of oud have told me that they love this, and it’s such an exotic scent that they just, they really love it.

This ‘makes me really happy, ‘cause, you know, some people wear oud. Some people don’t. I happen to love it, so I think it’s a good blend with gardenia and lavender.’

Hangout: 'Thank you, Keeks, for having three fragrances,' said Khloe at one point, insinuating one last plug into the conversation with her trademark subtlety

The third box contained perfume on pink crystals, of which Kim offered: ‘The Crystal Gardenia Citrus is one of my favorites. It has sparkling citruses like orange oil, Brazil.’

She went on: ‘It has Italian lemon, s – purple passion fruit. It has pink jasmine, which is one of my favorites, apple blossom. It’s, like, the most delicious, like, light, airy gardenia mixed with citrus. It’s so good, you guys. You’re gonna love it.’

The reality TV icon has dished to Entertainment Tonight about why exactly the bottles are shaped the vaguely phallic way they are.

‘After my whole Paris situation over a year ago, all my friends would come over and bring me healing crystals,’ said Kim, whom such French publications as Le Monde have dubbed a ‘bimbo de la téléréalité américaine.’

Said Kim: ‘I wasn’t really into them. I didn’t know much about them. Enough people brought them over that I love the shape, I loved holding it, and I felt like: “OK, this is it. I want something that I feel like calms me, is healing…”‘

She continued: ‘And I wanted the bottle, especially the smaller one.’

Last October, robbers bound Kim at gunpoint while plundering her luxuriant room at the Hôtel De Pourtalès in the 8th arrondissement of Paris. 

Over $10 million worth of jewelry, including that $4 million engagement ring, was seized from the reality star during the Paris heist.
