I recently went to the lab to embark on the process of choosing my perfume!

I spent the day in New York City at the lab of Givaudan, a renowned fragrance company, to formulate my perfect scent!

This will be a long process and I will be back many times to make sure it is exactly the way I want it!

I also underwent a complete smell test with every perfume I like to make sure mine is nothing like those.

Without naming specific brands, what types of scents are you most drawn too—vanilla, musk, fruity, floral, other?

Vanilla scents are a must. But add a tiny bit of fruity to it. Keep us all updated to when your scent will be out, I'd love to try it.

As a guy a girl wearing holliser perfume is irressistable

Hey Kim! I am really glad you are choosing to make your own fragrance because I think everyone should have their own signature scent! I am really into Classic scents, nothing too cheap smelling. I love musks, but mostly a fragrance that is both musky and a floral. I love scents like sandalwood, patchouli (only as part of a perfume), geranium (omg.), jasmine, and lilac.

good luck Kim! :]

Hey Kim,
I am a really big fan of yours, I just wanted to ask you how much do you weigh? I know it is a personal question but i just thought that you are a real person and you would not mind answering that one for me. I love your style and your hair. Mine and your hair are almost identical. I just need to get back into pre-baby shape and we can pass for sisters... Love ya,
Naenae

VANILLA
You cannot go wrong with a vanilla base, I mean youve got to do something that has never been done before bc they are all starting to smell similar....but something tropical and warm and sexy seems it would fit your name.......

Hey kim and fans love CARMENNN but omygosh i can't believe u guyz are sitting on here to feed kims christian louboutin fetish do you seriously think she cares bout u guys wake upppp if she got the chance she would probably say she did not make a sex tape nd her disgusting website kimsuperstar popped up on my PC why make us look like slutz and make it ok for men to call us that ur not like shanna moakler she'z a respectable mother and worked where hard to get where she was.

Kim,
How do you keep your skin so flawless, and what type of diet do you maintain in order to have such a nice body.

Oh, and I am def a vanilla or fruit person!!lol

Hey Kim,..Im another one of those people who ADORE your hair, (and makeup) I was searching for a picture of you with strait hair to show my hair stylist, I have thick long hair as well and I love your cut, mine kinda just hangs there, VERY BORING...Im nervous that the lady will not cut it correct even with the picture, Do you have any suggestions on what I can tell her, I do not want to end up with choppy layers (worst nightmare)- anyways, thanks for reading, I really appreciate any help I can get!-much love-Kathleen

Kim you are perfect!!! you are the most beautiful woman i've ever seen!!!!

i love fruity and vanilla scents.. myf favorites are all the jlo perfumes.....can't wait till your perfume comes out

I like light fresh scents. A little floral. But put your heart into your work. It's all you. I can't wait to wear your scent. Please do you. You don't need something like Paris or Jennifer Lopez. DO YOU!!!!

I am excited to hear you are working on a fragrance! I personally like amber and vanilla scents. Nothing too fruity or musky, however I do like blackcurrant. Floral can be nice too, but don't over do it! Whatever you decide, be sure it's something that YOU love! Can't wait!! Good luck!!

get a really good perfume

Hey Kim,

I think you should do whatever perfume you'd like. But personally, I think a sexy, feminime fragrance that makes you feel fabolous would fit perfect as your perfume!

Hey kim well i like fruty perfumes hopefully u make yours to smell godd so i can supprot chu i cant wait for u to finish doing it!!!!!!!!! kim so did your sis go tru the days in jail yet how is she????? omg kim quess what remeber the dress ur sistet klhoe wore for her bday in vegas i saw this other girl wearing it but its all good your sist look way better in it :) just thougth i had to let chu know ha!

The smell of gardenia flower would be really nice. Hope you come up with a unique perfume Kim!

Hey Kim! I cant wait for the perfume!

i LOVEEE Floral smells, they are sexier.

hey kim i think u the scent should be something rich nuthing frutie or citrus crap....someting sexual and sexy and put some fermones in there...lol ;)

some examples...
betsy johnson
prada the new one
armani code
another one escada/ magnetism

FRUITY KIM i think anything friuty smells extra fabulous!

Vanilla, Vanilla, Vanilla! In my opinion, that's the ultimate scent so I think your fragrance should definately incorporate vanilla to make it very sexy....and the bottle should be curvy just like you ;) I'll be first in line to get it!

Hi Kim!
I just want to say that your my idol! And im glad that your coming out with your own perfume..Im so gonna buy it!(:

Btw.

F*ck the haters, their just jealous.

<33

I love scents that are fruity Kim I hope yours is fruity too. But I also love the scent of Vanilla.
I just can't wait for your Perfume:-) Hope it will be available here in the Phillipines.

Kim, you are the most beautiful woman ever. Truely one of Gods greatest.

when she has half a smile the lips still look like theyre smilin from all the Juvederm or Restalyne she puts in them... im in Turkey now and girls here are sooooo much prettier than you.. in the States they dont know anything else so they think u all that... if you came here no one would look at you.... lool

I think you should put something fruity and warm


Kim, have you thought of a name for your first new perfume? I was just reading on gossip girls, Jessica Simpson, is launching her new perfume line she is going to name the perfume FANCY! Do you want any of the fans to give you an idea what you first new perfume should be named? I am reading where some of the fans are already starting to! lol thats very cute!

I like perfumes that are not too strong. I like light fruity or floral scents. But you should try and make yours original and different.

omg kim i lurrrrve you. you can ask any of my friends i aspire tp be like you. what a co-inky-dink with the last names hey?! make sure you add diamonds to your bottle! and it doesn't matter what it smells like i'll buy it!

love it.....
p.s. i DASHed into a dash store in sydney! i went beserk.

Hi Kim you look great as always ;)
Usually i like Floral clean fresh scents but I Love Coco Mademoiselle from Chanel the most.
Can't wait to smell your parfume.
take care kim

I love clean fresh scents like Turquatic by MAC. They are universally liked b/c they aren't so strong and I ALWAYS get compliments since it is hard to find scents like that. Please do something similar and I will hop right on that!

Gorgeous pics Kim,I think you should call it "Dashing" ;)

I really like fresh scents. Similar to fresh laundry or soaps. Yeah even as perfumes!

All i can say is Sandlewood is sexy, very alluring and mystirous.
Smells like Euporia Ck
and Midnight Dior make men melt...Hot

I honestly can't stand sweet smells such as cotton candy. I instantly try to avoid those types of scents. For the most part I'll go for something fresh.

Hey Kim,
I like Brown Sugar & Fig from Bath & Body! I also like a number of Escada's perfume's...when I spray on a perfume I want to smell "sexy" if that makes sense. Like putting on a tight fitting black dress and some bad pumps...that kinda sexy!!! Afterall, perfume should make you feel sexy! Hope that helps a little!
Love Always,
Nelly.B

It's always a pleasure to gaze upon your loveliness,bless you.
Master Love

Hey Kim,

I'm so happy that you're making your perfume! I would definitely be excited to make my own lol. I like fragrances that smell like cotton candy. Fruity and floral scents are really nice too!

Love,
Brenda.

I like fragances with a fruity smells and I hate those that give a smell of soap, there's some that do but I dont think yours will! :-)

I can't stand when mediocre 'celebrities' make fragrances. Example: paris hilton. Leave that to the top dogs in the industry in movies, fashion and music. Does anyone feel me on that?

I love fruity parfums!
But why isn't youre parfume going to be availlable in the Netherlands?

heylo kim!!!

i love fruity and floral.... hate musky! especially, when you are sweaty.... the smell turns to smell-y.... hahaha....

anyway, i got big ass.... but i don't feel secure having a big ass..... how do you pull it off????

Hi Kim, I'm sooooooo in Love with you. your beauty,Sexiness,and style are definately my FANTASY...ttyl Chef

Hi Kim

Kim. The last picture of you is beautiful. You are stunning. Can't wait for your new scent to come out.

Take care. xX
Tahnaya

im so goin to buy it!!

i love you so much!!

your family reminds me of mine!

i agree with sonya!

HI KIM, HOPE WE DONT HAVE TO WAIT TOO LONG FOR YOUR PERFUME. WHATEVER YOU CHOOSE I KNOW IT WILL BE JUST AS STUNNING AS YOU ARE!!!!!!

HI kim, that's cool your making your perfume! I'll get it if it smells good, since i'm only 13 you should make it so that younger girls can wear it too since i know there's a lot of girls that like you. So ya good luck! (:

What will you name it? I like fruity scents and Vanilla Scents. I think you're a great person, very diligent. I'm glad you're branching out, Kim!
How do you think you will design the bottle?
Good Luck!

Heyyy Kim!

I like sweet and fruity scents! But then I also like scents that are soft and sexy. I know that your a big fan of Michael by Michael Kors so0o something similar to that would be perfect! Love ya LOTzZz! xOxO!

What will the name be????? Slut-liscious!!!!! You are such a J-Lo wanna-be....The one thing you need to learn from J-Lo is....she doesn't exploit herself & she's very real.

Hi:)

That would be so cool to design your own perfume! I would love to do that! I really love perfumes and pretty scents! At home, at work, working out, all the time! I like fresh, floral scents in the daytime. I know you don't want specific names, but I can always find something I like at Victoria Secrets or Bath & Body Works.

In the night or in winter, I like musky scents which are a little more intense. Day or night, I love essential oils; natural scents...aromatherapy. Like Andrie, I get compliments on the way I smell at work:) That's fun! I also like really pretty bottles and sometimes save them even when they are empty.

The cookies in your picture are SO CUTE! I wonder what you will name your perfume?? How about "K?" That would be cool if your perfume is successful, you came out with a perfume line for different moods. That would be cool if you came out with one for men, too in the future!

Well, best wishes!

:) :) :) :)

What part of "without naming specific brands" don't you people understand?

I LIKE VANILLA SCENT, AND I CANT WAIT TO BUY YOUR PERFUME I BET IT IS GOING TO BE SO GOOD SMELLING LOVE YA KIM!

Hi Kim,
I like orangy/lime scent, but in general I prefer elegant smelling fragrance, for example Armani Code for women.
Surprisingly I liked Hillary Duff's fragrance, even though I don't really like her.

Hopefully your fragrance will be sassy, elegant, spicy and exotic.

I cant wait for your perfume to come out i will defntly Buy it!!
I love powedry, fresh scents...sumtimes spicy sumtimes floral depnds on the mood vera wang Princess, Dolca&Gabana Lightblue and eternity are my faves!!

Yea kim take your time although i know you will! i know how much u want it to smell just exquisit! Cant wait to smell the way it smells! Have you thought about makin a colome for men u know like, make it how u would want a man to smell?? hmmmmm THOUGHTS???? LOL Well jus wondering lol luv ya Doll muahhh!

Youre Georgous Kim!!!!!!!
Looks like Paris Hilton and J.Lo perfumes have competion LOL For a sexy scent its muusk and vanilla Foral scents are also nice On the Jimmy Kimmel show you look so beautiful The blue dress was so prettttyyyyy and your high heels were nice and they looked like 6 inch heels!!!!XOXO

I'm excited about your new perfume!

I personally like fruity and sweet perfumes, but what do YOU like?

Kim you are absolutley beautiful!! looks like so much fun. I love perfume and I'm so excited you're coming out with one. I just hope it doesn't smell like mariah careys or J.los because they are just too similar. The scents are almost identical. I love fruity ones like vanilla etc.

musk and vanilla... i luv scents that linger after u pass and not because u have a ton on

Definitely VANILLA.....guys love it!!

u look like a horse when u are not smiling! lol..=)

i love anything that smells like vanilla!!!!

I hope this comment will post cuz the ones to your other posts didn't work )

I love your outfit - the same one you wore to the Wendy Williams show and at the end of the segment I think you said you were heading out to the fragrance place lol so there you have it. I like more of the musky scents or even a light floral mixed with musk - I tend to stay away from vanilla and flavor type scents - it's like you have food on you and it's kind of gross and not sexy or appealing in my opinion especially when it mixes with persperation it turns nasty! whereas musk only gets sexier and smells more personal and "human".

It's nice to see how much thought and effort you're putting in to come up with a really good scent instead of letting someone else do it and just attaching your name to it. I like the perfume that starts with Tr---- personally and a few others. A fresh talcom like scent is also nice. Good luck!!!

Your fit is on point!
Can't wait to see what you come up with.

Vanilla!

Love the outfit Kim! I wouldn't wear that top to work. It would get me in tooooo much trouble, but the whole outfit looks good on you. That's the beauty of being your own boss - you can wear what you wanna wear when you wanna wear it. Your hair and make-up are flawless also. Don't change. I have to give you credit for helping me to step up my bangle game. I get a lot of my ideas for outfits from you being that we have similar figures. I don't have a "jingling baby" booty, but it aint no where nears flat. LOL And seeing you constantly working encourages me to keep my hustle up. I don't agree with everything you do, but it was never that serious. It's just entertainment!

Key Kim, love the show Keeping Up with the Kardashians! Its good to see a real family that's tied together with love. I personally love Vanilla scents, brown sugar kinda scents. To me its soothing and seems very natural. Hope this helps!

Hi Kim, I think floral or Oriental. It's classic but sexy. Just like you! Can't wait until you launch out ur new perfume. Good luck! xoxoxo

Hi Kim - I personally think you need to go for a more fruity fragrance. I get the most compliments on frangrances like Escada. Good luck! Also, who designed that dress you wore on Jimmy Kimmel? I loved it and want to find it. Thanks!

Something fresh and unique!

Too many celeb fragrances are way too OTT... Make yours stand out and different from everyone elses!

You look stunning in the pics btw Kimxx

U are so beautifuuuul Kim Love Ya ! <3

My types of scents are musk or something exotic.

Can we buy ur parfume in Switzerland ?
I hope that we can...

Kisses

you look cute in these pics! i like to use different scents for day and night, so for day i am drawn to more fruity light scents and for night i like a musky sexy scent

Hiii Kim!!! I saw you on the Wendy Williams Show!! I loved it! You looked great. I personally like fruity and floral scents.

kim u are too gorgeous! i LOVE the outfit you're wearing and the lab coat. u can even rock goggles! i prefer floral scents, and scents that are light, but still a little noticeable when someone hugs u. i hope u can find a scent that lasts throughout the day. good luck :)

I Agree with Amber! =]
I love fruity and citrus.
All types Like maybe Pineapple,apple,strawberries?
Those are the best!

I dont like too fruity or too sweet. The one Im love with has floral notes, sweet and spicy elements. Do you know which one Im talking about? :)

i personally like scents that are uniquely sweet...like cotton candy and baked desserts..scents that are fresh and fruity...like citrus and pineapple...and scents that are tropical!! hope this is helpful! good luck and i cant wait to see what you come up with! maybe a sweet and fruity combo? mmmmm, pineapple upside down cake!

I like musky for sure. Fruity perfumes are just too over the top. I also like fresh scents, especially when they have an undertone of sandalwood or something for my musky fix. Orange blossom is also great.

Kim so glad to hear you in the Big Apple! You need to let me be your tour guide. Actually, you've been here enough that you can probably show me some hot spots. LOL You need to do a post on some of the "fabulous finds" here in NY that would consist of things you purchased while shopping and nice restaurants. Oh I like floral scents.

kim where did u get the outfit that your wearing in the pictures for your perfume? and how did u curl your hair like that? do u wear extensions?
and where do u buy your jewelery? your my idol kim!

Hey Kim!
I love fruity types of perfume!
You should try smells like Cool Water,J.Lo,and Paris Hilton.
Good Luck Kim!!!! =]
Your #1 fan!!!
Beatrice =D
