Kim Kardashian Pure Honey is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2013, created by Claude Dir. Pure Honey opens with Mandarin Leaf, Rose, and Freesia, settles into a heart of Orchid, Honeysuckle, Honey, and Beeswax, and dries down to a base of Musk, Vanilla, and Coconut. Kim Kardashian's Pure Honey carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

Divisive, perplexing, yet undeniably a bargain. This isn't the gourmand honey bomb you might expect; instead, it's a surprising clean floral, often compared to soap or even baby wipes. It truly is a love-it-or-hate-it affair.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Fall
Also Works:

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date Sport

Its clean, often subtle projection and 'fresh out of the shower' vibe make it ideal for casual wear or the office, where it's unlikely to offend. It's less suited for formal events due to its understated nature and is ambiguous for dates, as reviews are split on its sensual appeal.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Pure Honey opens with a vibrant, albeit fleeting, rush of freesia and rose, quickly ushering in a heart defined by clean, waxy beeswax and a light, almost nectar-like honey rather than a thick, syrupy sweetness. Hints of honeysuckle add to its floral character, while a soft, musky base and a whisper of coconut and vanilla contribute to its often-described 'soapy' or 'clean' finish. This is less sweet indulgence, more fresh out-of-the-shower hum. Don't expect heavy gourmand-think soft, powdery, and surprisingly bright.
