Kim Kardashian says her new perfume reminds her of her childhood.

The reality TV star recently launched her latest scent, Gold, and when she was developing it, she decided to take a trip down memory lane.

She told people.com: “When my dad would go away on trips he always came back with a special perfume for me. I hated when he bought perfume for his girlfriends, but loved it when he bought me a glamorous bottle of his favourite scent of gardenia. So when I was developing Gold, I thought of him and other happy times in my childhood.”

Kim also wanted a summer feel to the perfume but admits she found it quite a stressful process getting the right scent and the right look for the bottle.

She said: “To me, summer is sexy, beachy and glamorous with thoughts turning to romantic evenings. I wanted something powerful yet not too sweet. I got stressed out while developing the scent because I wanted it to be just perfect.

“I am very hands on with my fragrances. I really didn’t want a square bottle of any type. I am curvy and think my fragrance should represent me. So I picked a sleek round vessel in gold with ebony accents.”

However, Kim is very pleased with the results and wears it every day.

She said: “I spray myself before I go out,” she said. “The fragrance makes me feel sexy.”

The fragrance combines sparkling top notes of Italian bergamot and grapefruit with a sniff of spicy pink peppercorn, plus a floral heart of jasmine, delicate rose and golden resins of amber and creamy benzoin.
