Unpleasant Fruity Musk
Kylie Minogue's fragrances are either a hit or a miss with me. I am yet to enjoy any of her scents. Pink Sparkle was the only fragrance of hers that I sort-of liked.
Her latest, Music Box, is yet another insipid fruity floral. It combines notes of candied raspberry, soapy freesia and orange blossom, and synthetic musk. The composition overall is quite basic, it also feels rushed, like the perfumer didn't have the time nor the ingredients to create a decent Music Box.
To my nose, Music Box is a sickening fruity musk. It reminds me a lot of Vera Wang's Look, another fragrance that I was not so fond of. At certain stages in the composition, Music Box attempts to smell creamy and lush, but fails miserably.
On the skin, Music Box smelt a little plasticky. Thankfully it didn't last any longer than three hours, otherwise it would have been a scrubber. Kylie Minogue's Showtime EDP has a much nicer strawberry accord, so I would recommend testing that one before venturing near Music Box.
I hate saying that I'm disappointed in yet another Kylie fragrance. I believe that in order for her fragrances to improve, she needs to branch away from Coty.
