Yellow Diamond (Kourtney)

Yellow Diamond by KKW Fragrance is a sweet, creamy gourmand with a bright opening of juicy white currant and ripe fruit, leading into a soft floral heart of jasmine and magnolia, and settling into a warm, velvety base of vanilla, tonka bean, and patchouli. It closely resembles Lancôme La Vie Est Belle and Victor & Rolf Flowerbomb, with a balanced, slightly more refined and less cloying character than its inspiration. The scent is predominantly vanilla and sweet patchouli, creating a warm, dessert-like aura that feels both comforting and playful—evoking soft cotton, whipped cream, and early autumn in a cozy sweater. Performance is moderate: on skin, it lasts about six hours, and on clothing it can extend well throughout the day. It has strong projection initially, fading to moderate sillage. The fragrance is universally perceived as feminine and intimate, suitable for casual daytime wear or evening outings. Its most notable appeal lies in its well-blended composition and pleasant texture—smooth, not sticky or heavy. Though it is widely recognized as a popular dupe, some note a faint, slightly odd drydown smell described as 'gas after' or resembling old Vicks—a minor but recurring observation. Overall, it stands out among KKW’s line for its coherence and wearability, offering a sweet, creamy, and romantic scent that feels distinctively luxurious despite its similarities to bestsellers.
