Diamond Kim
by KKW Fragrance
Diamond Kim is a crisp, green floral with a strong white floral and musky base, evoking a humid tropical atmosphere reminiscent of a gardenia-filled jungle. The fragrance opens with a sharp, green note from artemisia and ginger, giving it a uniquely fresh and slightly medicinal edge. Over time, it evolves into a soft, musky, and slightly sweet floral scent that some describe as clean, floral, and poised, while others find it heady, artificial, or reminiscent of floral bathroom sprays. The scent is unmistakable—similar in profile to Jennifer Lopez’s original Glow, but more green and musky, with many identifying it as a near-duplicate of the vintage Kai perfume. Its performance is modest, with moderate sillage and short longevity that typically lasts around an hour on skin. The fragrance is best suited for warm weather, particularly spring and summer, and feels most intimate when worn close to the skin during the day.
Pros
- +Strong similarity to beloved vintage white florals like Glow and Kai, making it appealing to fans of fresh, tropical floral scents
- +Fresh, green, and clean character ideal for warm days and minimalistic wardrobes
- +Good sillage for a personal fragrance, with moderate projection and a soft, musky dry-down
Cons
- −Short longevity and limited performance make it unsuitable for long wear or those seeking a lasting scent
- −Likely to be polarizing—many find it sharp, artificial, or overly floral to the point of discomfort
- −Perceived as dated or overly perfumed by some, particularly those disinterested in white florals or clean, musky floral profiles
