KKW Responds to Copying Gaultier's Perfume Bottle
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:
We took a mold of my body and made it a perfume bottle. @kkwfragrance

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:
Same old attention seeking tactics from Kim Kardashian 🤦♀️
And this is the reason why Jean Paul Gaultier’s iconic perfume is called Classique. #nothingbeatstheoriginal pic.twitter.com/lSd07aB5wn- Nola Marianna Ojomu (@NolaMarianna) April 24, 2018
Well done to @KimKardashian for making her perfume bottle in the shape of her body. Just the 15 years behind Jean Paul Gaultier 👏

"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 mould, 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."
It’s not unisex but we have a unisex fragrance in the future https://t.co/WnNFVevBDe
