Wow wow wow. Can I say "WOW!"
Before I actually describe the fragrance, please know I'm describing Kim Kardashian's "To-Go" version of the Voluptuous fragrance (in other words, it's the smaller - $35 - version of the original one). The bottle itself appears much different than the picture shown above, and at the time of this writing, not available at Amazon (I got mine in-store at Sephora). The To-Go version comes in a light lavender, almost rectangle body - which at first glance appears to be an opaque colored bottle. On close examination, however, the bottle is subtly transparent - especially when held up to the light. Very subtle, Kim. I like! Also, it was made AND manufactured in the USA, not in China. The centrally positioned logo is designed in its own right. I'd compare the logo to be a cross between the reverse Cs of the Coco Chanel brand - and the side of the bottle to be Ms. Kardashian's version of a seemless textured black-ink patterning that could fit in the same league with Louis Vuitton (judging by the seemless pattern of the logo on the sides of the bottle). Her first name is imprinted along the matching lavendar metal collar, her last name on the back. The dark purple duraplastic (slightly transparent) top of this glass bottle appears to be the same as the original "Voluptuous." As far as comparisons to other brands, I'd say the bottle top is a le petite version of the bottle top of Versace's Crystal Noir, a personal favorite.
Now on to the scent! Oh my my my. I'm wearing it right now, and I am so in love.
When I first smelled it in the store, I sprayed the tester on paper and asked my husband his thoughts. His words were: "Mmmmm... Smells like expensive candy!" I asked him if I should get it and he said, "Oh yeah." That being said, it gets male approval.
After spraying my neck and wrists, I checked every so often to see how long the perfume actually LASTS to get an idea of its average duration. Nothing is worse, for me, than having to re-spray perfume several times a day to keep the scent going. This one maintained its smell for about 3 hours, after that it became a little faint. That's almost twice as long as Sarah Jessica Parker's "Lovely" perfume, which I'm also fond of. The first initial spray has a top note that has sweet gardenia, very floral. The middle and base notes must have taken Ms. Kardashian quite a bit of time to make "just right." If it were any sweeter, it would be unbearable. And if it were not AS sweet as this, it wouldn't be quite Kim. That being said, this cologne smells precisely the way I'd envision the way Kim Kardashian would smell - high society, temptuous, and pretty-package. The smell reminds me a LOT of Escada's "Island Kiss" - so if you like the sweet candy kind of flavor, you would like this. It's quite feminine and floral.
The scents in this include: Mandarin, Honey Suckle, Orange Blossom, Pink Jasmine, Tuberose, Sensual Spice, Lush Gardenia, Jacaranda Wood, Tonka Bean, Vanilla Orchid, Sexy Musk, Creamy Sandalwood.
It's relatively easy to spot the gardenia and jasmine. The vanilla orchid was quicker to recognize after an hour or so.
The only thing I have a hard time understanding is why the perfume is named Voluptuous. I suppose if this bottle were the same round/curvy shape as the original bottle, I could understand that. But this To-Go version is rectangle, which cosmetically, doesn't really fit with the name. My only critique is that if or when Ms. Kardashian creates another perfume, she consider all sizes of the bottles to reflect the brand. Otherwise, from looks alone, these appear to be completely different perfumes.
A lot of heart went into the making of this perfume, and considering Ms. Kardashian has her reputation on her line with her name on the bottle, I'd say she did a FINE job. It's designer. It REALLY is.
