Kim Kardashian announces KKW Fragrance shutdown amid Kanye West divorce

 Kim Kardashian  is officially changing the name of her perfume company, KKW Fragrance.

The reality star and entreprenuer announced the big news on Friday, April 1, taking to social media to reveal that her fragrance company will be shutting down next month in order to launch under a new name. 

“On May 1st at midnight, @KKWFragrance will be shutting down the website so that we can relaunch fragrance in the future under a brand new name—and under a new web store where you can purchase from all beauty categories under one site,” Kardashian tweeted. 

“Fragrance as many of you know is deeply personal for me,” she continued, “I put my heart and soul into every bottle, and I’m so incredibly proud of every KKW Fragrance product and collaboration that we have launched since Crystal Gardenia in 2017.”

Kardashian wrapped up her statement, saying, “Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your loyalty and love these last few years. I cannot wait to introduce you to the next chapter of my fragrance journey—I promise I won’t be gone for too long.”

She ended her statement by announcing that the whole website will be 40% off until it closes temporarily.

This announcement from the Keeping Up With The Kardashians alum doesn’t come as too much of a surprise amid her divorce from Kanye West.

Just last month, after more than a year of divorce proceedings, a judge granted the SKIMS founder’s request to be declared a single woman, changing her name back to Kim Kardashian. Since her legal name is no longer KKW, it makes sense that the billionaire would rebrand her businesses, too.

Kim announced the same change for her makeup brand, KKW Beauty, back in August, though that was before her legal name change, so she didn’t cite that as the reason for the rebrand.

“We’re currently away working on a new, more modern, elevated, and sustainable brand and customer experience--the way Kim has always invisioned,” the brand wrote at the time. “Thank you so much for being on this incredible journey with us. We promise we won’t be gone for too long.”

Unfortunately for KKW Beauty fans, it’s been nearly 8 months since that announcement was made, and there’s still no word on when the brand will be back in business.

Hopefully, KKW Fragrance makes its comeback a little more quickly.
