At this point, you probably know everything about Kim's new fragrance, KKW Body — which, according to what Kim told me earlier today, smells like 'a sexy, golden summer day.' You've also most likely seen her entire body covered in clay, which she used to take a mould for said perfume bottle:
But fragrance fans are coming out of the woodwork to call Kim out, saying that she's straight-up copying Jean Paul Gaultier's 1993 perfume Classique, which also features a woman's body sans arms, legs, and head:
"Sculptures were my inspiration, but I love that bottle," Kim told me when I asked her about it. "It's iconic and celebrates the woman’s body, but my inspiration was a statue. I wanted [mine] to be really personal with my exact mold, but I’ve always loved the Gaultier bottles."
She also let slip that there might be another reason she made that mould: 'We were making a mould of my body for the fragrance, but we were also making it to make a big sculpture.' Yes, I did ask where she'll be putting the sculpture, and it's TBD on whether it will go in her home — she has to see it first, she said.
As for the unisex fragrance she eluded to on Twitter, Kim teased that it may coming soon: 'Yeah, I’m hoping so… there are two other... I don’t want to say just yet, but yeah, I’m hoping in the fall.'
GAH, the anticipation! K, back to keeping up with Kanye's tweets.
Carly Cardellino was the beauty director at Cosmopolitan. If you follow her Instagram, then you know she'll try just about any beauty trend or treatment once (the pics of her purple hair are on IG to prove it). But her favorite part about being in beauty is finding the most effective products, and then sharing that intel with others—because who wants to spend money on stuff that doesn't work? No one, that's who. Her most recent discovery: De La Cruz Sulfur Ointment, which will change your blemish-clearing game! Hopefully through the beauty stories she writes—and the experiences she shares—you can see exactly why she's in this business.
