Showtime EDT
by Kylie Minogue
Showtime EDT is a sweet, fruity gourmand with a prominent black currant and strawberry opening, followed by a warm, spicy licorice and praline heart. It develops into a powdery, musky drydown with subtle floral hints of freesia, lilac, and rose, creating a confectionery effect reminiscent of candy shop or strawberry shortcake dolls. The scent is consistently described as sweet, girly, and playful, with some noting a faint vinyl or plastic-like quality that evokes nostalgic childhood memories. Longevity varies, with some appreciating up to four hours, while others find it fades rapidly. Sillage is moderate to strong, though not overwhelming. Overall, the fragrance is strongly associated with youthful, sweet styles and is appreciated by those who enjoy gourmands with a spicy licorice twist.
