Kylie Minogue Showtime Eau de Toilette is a fresh, floral and fruity scent whose sweetness leans gourmand. It reads light, young and feminine, and it has been discontinued.

What does Showtime (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

The opening is led by loganberry, blackcurrant and woodland strawberry, bright and sugary. In the heart, blue freesia, rose, lilac and tiaré add a soft floral layer, with liquorice bringing a touch of sweetness. In the base, vanilla praliné and white musk dry it down to a powdery, gourmand finish, with a synthetic sheen throughout.

Longevity is moderate and sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin. Most voters pick spring, followed by fall and summer, and it leans towards leisure and daily wear. Avon Tahitian Holiday and Christina Aguilera Xtina (Eau de Parfum) have a close profile.
