Why Kim Kardashian’s new scent is banned Down Under

Kim Kardashian’s perfume has been “banned from Australia” after being labelled a “hazardous material,” according to reports.

TMZ claim the reality star’s fans weren’t warned and that many haven’t received their bottles of her Crystal Gardenia scent.

The perfume’s alcohol content is the reason behind the ban but insiders told TMZ that Kardashian’s team weren’t informed this would be a problem when it went on sale.

It’s reported Kardashian is now offering a full refund to customers in Australia and New Zealand.

Kardashian’s been proudly showing off her new scent on Instagram for weeks.

She previously said it was inspired following the robbery in Paris which saw her held at gunpoint.

Kardashian told Entertainment Tonight: “After my whole Paris situation over a year ago, all my friends would come over and bring me healing crystals.

“I wasn’t really into them. I didn’t know much about them.

“Enough people brought them over that I love the shape, I loved holding it, and I felt like, ‘OK, this is it. I want something that I feel like calms me, is healing…’

“And I wanted the bottle, especially the smaller one.”

She added: “I just loved [how] the properties of the rose quartz and citrine bring happiness. It just meant so much to me to look into what crystals mean and their healing properties.”
