Inverse Kylie Minogue for men

It reminds me a Prada Amber young, more pop and happy. Wonderful! I love it!

I took a big chance on this - I have a boyfriend with a very choosy taste... Not only I bought anosmic on description, but also for another person (dangerous business....).

I examined the notes of the few perfumes he wore over the last 5 years, and then searched by notes.

This is a winner !!!! The lavender is very pronounced, and the combination of scents is fantastic, recommended for lavender-cinnamon-spice lovers.

Opium Pour Homme + 1 Million = Inverse For Men

I bought for my husband 50ml for a very good price. I didn´t expect that Kylie can create a good scent because her female perfumes are awfull. But Inverse is very masculine, sexy and worth to buy. The most I smell incense but it´s not in a piramide.

If you're a fan of Paco Rabanne's 1 Million and Diesel's Plus Plus then it's a safe bet that you'll be a fan of this. Inverse successfully combines the spicy, blood orange notes of the former with the fruity milkyness of the latter to create a great smelling budget scent. It's not a very masculine fragrance by any means though; so if you're only into macho powerhouses then this probably isn't for you.

Fot it's price it's a steal. Really nice, modern scent with good longevity. Pure pleasure...

Amazing and ultra modern fragrance for real men. Very masculine, good projection and longevity. Very noticible cinnamon and lavander, nutmeg and peppers can be scent. I just loved.

The beginning is very spicy. Mandarin, cinnamon, star anise, and ofcourse peppers.
I do detect some florals in there trying to soften up, but I get even more resins and woods in the base. Though it is a surprisingly nice scent (I expected it to be rubbish) I'm not sure I would pay too much for it, but it does make very good use for a casual, everyday fragrance, so you should definitely try it with low expectations or you will not like it

Surprise - the only fragrance for man launched by Kylie is the only fragrance launched by her, that I like :)

Defenitly tendences of unisex, though I would much more prefer it on a man, since I think the spices would become more prominent and sexy whereas on me it was just nice and subtle.

If I see it on sale somewhere I will buy it immediately, so that when I have an oppurtunity to "gift" it to my BF! That way I can enjoy it to the fullest (and sneak some too)... ;)

THE SCENT itself is a sweet nutmeg/vanilla with a bit labdanum - the topnotes fade in a whiff, almost unnoticed. Who doesn't have the opportunity to test it: imagine the nutmeg/vanilla combo of "The Body Shop"-shower gel (going by the very same name) and add labdanum and a wee bit of heliotrope (gotta love it) in imagination - e voilà! c'est INVERSE.

Good job Kylie - almost gave up on you (perfume-vise)...

At first whiff my reaction was ”A masculine? Are you kidding me?” Inverse has a very pronounced feminine touch, which actually is one of its great qualities once you accept it. The same goes for its very synthetic feel – this is not a classical symphony for your nose, it’s first rate techno dance pop and extremely enjoyable as such.

After the opening lavender blast has calmed down, you are ready to enjoy a wonderful milky/creamy sweetness that feels both warm and cold at the same time. Impressive. And no problems with longevity here – it easily lasts a whole evening on my skin.

A class act – especially for a celebrity scent. It smells expensive and sophisticated (but can be found extremely cheap), it’s unisex without being bland and I love it!

Light, sexy, and lasting longer than some reviews suggest, this is my first new perfume for some time. I have just started wearing it and find it alluring and quite exciting. I can understand why many women love to wear this too, it's almost as if it makes you find yourself more sexy and that can only be a good thing. The fragrance is not in any way overpowering and reminds you from time to time that you are wearing it with wafts of subtle romance. This is not a scent that will turn heads as you walk into the room but it will slowly ingratiate itself into any company with those subconscious sexy undertones.

Very surprising ! Women could also wear it (and I usually think that women must wear women perfumes, never men perfumes). Spicy but not too much, a bit sexy, warm but it doesn't last. Please Kylie : make a perfume which lasts !

To me this smells just like a man has just stepped out of the shower - minty and soapy. I absolutely love it and picked up a bottle for an absolute steal. I wear it myself as it's an easy masculine for girls I think. A really genuinely clean but interesting scent.

I will simply say I think this is BRILLIANT and I LOVE it. It comes into it's own hours after application. Despite what many others have said, this lasts all day on me. Well done!

Love this - surprisingly for a celebrity scent, a sweet vanilla/orange pleasant spicy oriental thats lasts a while and the sillage is good. I get a creamy tobacco-like and coconut note in the drydown - it's one the best celebrity fragrances and it has a lot of character.

Im really impressed with this one, its kinda my signature becuase not many people own it, so you wont smell a lot of it around, and it belongs to my most favorite group, that being oriental, just after spraying you get a very refreshing tart lavander, it stays a couple of minutes then takes a backseat, its still there but over the top i get cardamom and cinamon, within about 20 minutes it deepens and takes sweetness from anise, then there is a wonderful condensed milk smell that makes an entrance (I say condenced milk as it is a sweet milky smell), its very mouthwatering and delicious, then you get the tonka bean, and a hint of amber, i have to say its the most expensive smelling celebrity scent ive ever smelt, and its far from expensive, i just got two bottles for £10!!, longevity its moderate at 4-6 hours on me, and the silliage is actually quite good, usualyy i put on four sprays, two on the neck and one on each wirst, its definately one you should try, think of prada amber pour homme, jean paul gaultier le male and thierry mugler a*men and youll have something like inverse, loooovee itt!!!!

It was a blind buy (the shop had no tester) and I didn't regret it.
At Rossmann it was on sale for 11 $.
Definitely a unisex fragrance. A real oriental but it's not heavy, just ambery sweet + remarkable cinnamon (without many citrus) and it ends powdery and lasts all day. On my skin it's very close to Gaultier 2 but a bit more masculine and more complex. I will keep it only for special occasion not for everyday 'cause it's very intimate, I think.

Kylie said: it's “for the men in my life, who, as you know are complex, colorful characters.”
It will be a Limited Edition,so it's worth to try.

I like this one a lot. It is by no means a 'groundbreaking' fragrance, but it does 'tick all the boxes'. It is warm and soapy to start with. It is rich and sweet with a variety of spices. Thankfully, as far as the sweetness is concerned, Inverse does not go too far like Joop and Opium pour Homme do. The citrus does not dominate, rather it is balanced with the pepper and cinnamon.

As the fragrance evolves on the skin and the basenotes become more dominant I detect what seems to be a tobacco-like note (even though it is not listed). The cedar and patchouli do not really make an appearance.

Inverse lasts quite well on me and a small squirt on the back of my hand was easily evident after 3 hours.

Yes, it reminds me Opium also. But even more it reminds me Original 1910 by Everlast. These have several same notes in them. I would say Inverse is better. The downside... it seems that the longevity and overall scent strength is not so good. Have to give it a few more testings though.

UPDATE: doesn't last! 4-5 hours only. Stays very close to the skin. Pity.

1.5/5 (mainly because there's literally no sillage)

No one seems to mention this, but doesn't this evoke memories of a squeaky clean version of 'Opium pour homme' by Yves Saint Laurent? Hated the YSL opium ph summer versions, but this is... clean but sweet, like condensed milk. It's the star anise that gives the flash-backs to Opium PH, but it's set against a clean but mega-sweet (someone mentioned Paco 1 mill:agreed) background of notes. Maybe it's my dry skin, but it does not feel spicy (someone mentioned sweaty? Check out Opium: Eww!). The star anise stays and blasts away, causing men and women alike to sniff me and complement (someone wrote that Kylies sister dorns it?). Weird and ambiguous, but complementary :) LOL! Also, i hate that the celebs have entered the perfume scene. Still, i think i'll keep this hidden in the drawer. Never got so much complements.

INVERSE is the first EDT for men under the Kylie Minogue brand. I'd say the fragrance is more unisex (Kylie's sister Dannii has said that she wears INVERSE herself).


INVERSE opens with a tart and refreshing blend of lavender and coriander, before quickly settling into a spicy warmth. For me the cinnamon note over took the other spices and florals - not that I'm complaining. I love cinnamon.

The cinnamon notes stays though the base too, so I could only get a hint of cedar and amber. This is another plus for me as the patchouli note is hidden.

I found INVERSE to have a lively personality, hence it's much more enjoyable then Kylie's fragrances for women.

I'm not sure if INVERSE is a LE or if it's a standard release. I've read conflicting reports. So if you like it, it may be worth picking up a few bottles when/if you come across it - just in case.


As you'll expect for a Kylie/Coty collaberation, the staying power is not good. It outlasts her womens releases, but not by much. I wouldn't buy a bottle because of this.



I like the clear and simple bottle design and plain black/white label. The juice is an eyecatching shade of lilac.

I am going off this scent. I'm finding the lavender is way too overpowering with a milky sweetness. It's almost a sweaty smell?? It also started to smell like Air Wick Air Freshener. This fragrance hasn't really blown up like I thought it would. I noticed it been reduced to £9.99 (typical I bought it when it was £24.99).

This smells so similar to 'calum' by calum best /or '1 million ' by paco rabanne - i dont like either of them . very sweet and sickly yuk! i bought the bottle a few days ago and will be throwing it out shortly -total waste of money

This one smells of dish washing liquid. It smells like vodka and has a weird after smell. i do not like this one! the packaging is very weird. i do not like this one at all.

I tested this today as it's exclusive to the perfume shop. And I must say that it is very expensive smelling for a celebrity scent.

At first spray it smells like Prada Amber Pour Homme, very sexy and very masculine. But thats as far as the comparison goes, the appeal is in the dry down. It has a gorgeous slight leathery, soapy, clean, snuggly smell.

A definate must buy for anyone who is into clean soapy scents.

wow! this smells amazing its really hard to describe but its the best perfume for men ive ever smelt i love it !!!!

I cant wait for this to come out, most of the notes are like orada amber pour homme (whichh i love) and the fluid is actually purple like amber pour homme maybe it will b similar but with a different twist, ooohh i cant wait!!!

Yaaay, it's finally here! I'm so getting one.
Look at that, lavender, cinnamon, amber and patchouli? Wow, I hope it's heavenly. Thank you Kylie Miogue, I hope your 2010 CD is the best too!
