Hard Candy or: the pink atomic bomb for diabetics
pink firecracker meets Sugargirl.

This Kylie lives in a pink powder puff cloud.

The queen of the candy store and the fairground stalls.

Licorice, a whole mountain of it [I must confess, this licorice is really excellently delicious and very pleasant to wear, very charming]
Cotton candy, a whole cotton field
Vanilla, pure essence and concentrate
Berries, a whole field of them

sweet,
sweeter,
Showtime.

Showtime is not for diabetics,
not for ladies (of course, also men) who have to stick to a diet
and certainly not for people who feel sick after a piece of chocolate.

Calorie bomb, suburb to candy hell, Sugar & Sweets -
whoever chooses this loves it heavy, loves it sweet and enjoys it playful, Lollipop Girl. This fragrance was created for little [and big, of course!] Lolitas and cherry sucker lovers. In the dry down, Showtime reminds me very much of strawberry milkshake and strawberry cake with cream.

The bottle is no less striking than the scent,
loud, kitschy, sweet, pink -
the perfume itself contains glitter particles and gives the pink disco ball and the bubblegum explosion water its final touch.

Guaranteed cavities!

Conclusion:

HardyCandy - sticky and sweet - I love CANDY - I need SWEETS,
whoever can relate to this should grab it, it's worth it and you are the sweetest thing walking on earth. To all others, it must be said: if you don't like cotton candy, you'll also fall flat on your face here!

Yours

Petition to Require Celebrities to Exclusively Wear Their Own Fragrances
Sometimes it is astonishing what taste deviations can arise from pregnancy hormones: "Showtime" was one of those for me. I must have been so craving sweets that I found it temporarily irresistible.

A few months later, it became a closet keeper. Then it turned into a room spray for odors that one suppresses as the children grow older.

However, I cannot easily shake off the impression of "Showtime." Recently, I found it simply artificial and disgustingly sweet. Not exactly well made.

Would Ms. Minogue wear this fragrance herself? Hardly. Even though I find her very youthful for her age, she has long been an adult woman with her own style and a certain sex appeal. So why does she lend her name to such a cheap-sweet little water?

Wouldn't it be much easier for us if celebrities were required to wear the fragrances they put their names on? Even if they themselves have less interest in perfumes than we Parfumo users do: We would probably be spared the most annoying stink bombs and the fleeting drops.

Berries galore.
Showtime opens fruity-sweet-berry and then transitions into a strong berry-red jam note. To be honest, I didn't notice any licorice at all, and the Tiaré flower simply blended into the jam. The fact that "Praliné" is listed in the heart note seems to be quite trendy right now. I would say it’s a perfectly normal, solid heart note with not too overpowering vanilla, which is kept in check by something woody or patchouli.

Artificial Berries
No, this scent is not for ladies who have already been confirmed, only for those who have that ahead of them. What I mean is that this fragrance is not for female beings over 14 years old. A typical star scent. Sweet. Fruity. Lots of berries, synthetic ones, of course. And, very importantly, a lot of vanilla. Done. If it ever gets discontinued, you can easily find a replacement for it. Probably no one will even notice ;-) .

Even this flashy bottle clearly shows which target group is being addressed here. And the scent and bottle really go well together in this case. That's why it gets 20% :-) from me.

Licorice? Praline? Yes, please!
Recently, at the bargain table of a discount store, "Showtime" caught my eye. There was no sample bottle, so no testing was possible.
It only cost a pittance, so I packed it up and took it home.
Before I unwrapped "Showtime," I first looked at the fragrance pyramid here.
Licorice and praline, yes indeed, jackpot!
Unwrapped, sprayed. Sweeeeet! Forest berry jam. So far, so good.
Waited, sniffed, waited some more.
Vanilla? Hmm, yes, maybe. But no licorice and definitely no praline.
Slightly vanilla forest berry jam, period.
No big deal, it was practically a gift.

Just a star scent, sweet, nice bottle, the end.

At 13, this was my absolute favorite. Probably not anymore today. I'd even buy it out of nostalgia if it were still available.

worn with joy at 14, it’s now way too sweet for me. a bit circus, a bit London’s candy shops, and maybe a little too much...
