Kylie’s confidence

2012 is a very special year for you! How are you celebrating?
After 25 years in the music industry I really wanted to celebrate and to thank my fans for all their loyalty and support. K25 means so much to me and so far it’s been a year full of surprises and there will be a lot more coming up! As part of this special anniversary, I wanted to create a special fragrance for my fans to mark this event, which is how I came up with Music Box.

You have recorded some of your iconic songs this year at Abbey Road in a very classical, acoustic way. Did this new turn in music inspire you to create Music Box?

Music is always an inspiration to me so this fragrance is a beautiful way to represent this. Recording my hits in a new way at Abbey Road was such a rewarding experience. I hope fans will love these fresh interpretations. Music Box is a new twist on a classic, just like these recordings. And like the recordings, I want it to bring beautiful memories and conjure up delicious dreams. The bottle shape of Music Box is really fun and never seen before!

Where do you find all your inspiration?

I remember having a music box as a little girl and I was completely entranced by its magical quality. I was just really inspired by the way it used to make me feel. It was like a box of promise.

For which kind of woman did you create Music Box?

Music Box is for women like me. Women who like to dream, to dare and to feel feminine

For which kind of woman did you create Music Box?

Unexpected, fun and sophisticated.

In 25 years of songs and music, is there one song that stands out above the rest and of which you are particularly proud and fond of?

It’s impossible to choose one favourite song. They all represent different times and emotions in my life. I am always asked this question and am never able to give the answer. It becomes even more difficult having just recorded new interpretations of many of them. It’s like breathing a new life into them or dressing them in new clothes. Their essence is the same but their presentation makes me appreciate them in a new way.

K25 also represents 25 years of your now famously exciting shows and dazzling costumes, as well as many years of working with William Baker who also photographed on the Music Box print ad. What was you inspiration behind this ad?

Our inspiration was glamour, elegance and fun. Instead of the classic ballerina, our Music Box girl is a modern twist on a classic look, cabaret.

What was it like working with William on the shoot?

We always have fun shooting, even when it’s difficult or challenging. We love that. And we were so excited to bring this campaign to life.

25 years in the music is a huge milestone. What’s your secret to such a long lasting career and the fact that your music remained so popular?

I can’t tell you the secret as I don’t know it! But I do know that I’ve learnt so many lessons along the way and I continue to learn aspects of my craft all the time. I still feel inspired and challenged and that is what keeps me going.

Inverse For Men (Perfumes by Kylie Minogue Part II)

This time it's all about men - Kylie Minogue's fragrance Inverse For Men ;)

Inverse is Kylie's first foray into the world of male fragrances and aims to capture the two sides of a modern man, according to the manufacturers, "encompassing his intrinsic masculinity and his softer, more sensitive side".
The first, and to date, the only men perfume - but only positive reviews from the male buyers! (both, for the scent and for the longevity ;) )

Top notes encompass aromatic accords of lavender mixed with hot spices (coriander, cardamom, pepper, cinnamon and star annis). Sweet and fresh mandarin which gives juiciness to the opening stands in contrast to spices. A heart hides nutmeg combined with Tonka from Venezuela and velvety heliotrope inviting us for sweet moments. Base notes introduce labdanum, cedar, amber and seductive patchouli which all together leave rich and timeless elegance.


“It feels very natural for me to create a male fragrance. After all, fragrance is a technique
of seduction and men also want to play this complicated and beautiful game.
My world is filled with wonderful men who, everyday, break all sorts of stereotypes.
These men are creative and experimental but can also be masculine and self-disciplined.
With INVERSE, I wanted to celebrate the diversity of the opposite sex and create
a fragrance for all these men I love. And yet, I also suspect that a woman will want
to wear INVERSE to appeal to a man with a fragrance they both find irresistible.” - Kylie

"Working with William and, of course, Kylie on the Inverse shoot was an unforgettable experience." - Andres Velencoso.

Happy customers:
"Very seductive Inverse is the perfect choice for charismatic man, and it receives self-confidence and masculinity from hot amber aromas."

"Inverse is intensive, funny and sexy, dedicated to each man strong enough to stay true to himself!"

The Darlings (Perfumes by Kylie Minogue Part I)

Today I want to start the Kylie Minogue Perfume Line topic with her very first fragrance, called "Darling".

I am the lucky one to own a beautiful bottle of this very good smelling perfume by Kylie myself!
It was released on 9 November 2006, the key notes are: Australian sandalwood, star fruit, freesia and Boronia flower.
"An evocative, enticing essence called darling, representing the richness, sensuality and glamour that is Kylie Minogue."

In 2007 "Sweet Darling" came into the markets. Having the base as its predecessor, cotton candy, patchouli and vanilla were added into the original substance. Sweet Darling was a limited edition, being available only in 2007.
"Sweet Darling embraces all the qualities and irresistible facets of Kylie Minogue: seduction, strength, glamour, sensuality, warmth and sweetness."


In 2008 the third version of Darling, "Sexy Darling", was released. It was created by Sophie Labbe and it contains blood orange, pear,pink pepper, red rose, belle de nuit, jasmine, sandalwood and musk.

"A tempting floral woody fragrance for contemporary women. Captures the sexy femininity, seductive charm and beauty of Kylie Minogue. Refreshing, sensual and alluring."

And now is the latest one presented by Kylie just in November 2011, "Dazzling Darling" opens up with fresh and spicy notes of red pepper, acai berry and violet. Rose, passion flower and orris root compose the elegant core of the composition, while the base of sandalwood, cashmere and delicate musk provide a gentle finish.

"Feminine and captivating aroma that emphasizes woman's radiance and confidence, while remaining mysterious and intimate."
