"Are those peanuts?" one Instagram user wrote.
"Anyone else think these were peanuts?" another person said, followed by a laughing-face emoji.
"Is it gonna smell like peanuts?" someone wrote. "I'm confused by the graphics in this video."
While it's unclear if the perfume bottles were intended to look like peanuts in the promotional video, the "Nude" scent of the fragrance does not seem to have any nut-related notes.
According to the KKW Fragrance website, the perfume is actually made with scents of magnolia, jasmine, peony, "solar spices," lily of the valley, Tahitian vanilla, "vibrant amber," and musk.
Kardashian West and Jenner will officially launch their perfume collaboration on August 23 at 12 p.m. PST. Three different fragrances - Red, Pink, and Nude - are included, and each bottle retails for $40.
Representatives for KKW Fragrance did not immediately reply to INSIDER's request for comment.
