Kylie Minogue presents her first perfume for men. It is strong, persistent and full of self-esteem, but also sensual and emotional. This game of contrasts shows a man with a lot of contradictions. The point of this fragrance is to show man who is looking for a fragrance appropriate for daily use, but also for evenings out.

Kylie states that it is quite natural that the collection gets the first masculine representative after several perfumes for women. Her world is full of handsome men who want to forget stereotypes and choose something completely unconventional.

Very seductive Inverse is the perfect choice for charismatic man, and it receives self-confidence and masculinity from hot amber aromas. 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. Inverse is intensive, funny and sexy, dedicated to each man strong enough to stay true to himself!

Inverse, besides name and composition, shows the opposites presented on the flacon. Innovative design of the rectangular flacon is crowned with a metal stopper. What attracts attention are differently created front and back side i.e. light and dark side, which reflect the theme of the fragrance, its contrasts: gentle and strong, day and night. Purple fluid in the bottle contributes to its modern design.

Fragrance Inverse arrives on the market in August 2009, in amount of 50 ml EDT. Advertising face on photographies next to Kylie is Andres Segura Velencoso. The nose behind this fragrance is Rodrigo Flores-Roux.

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.

Another blind buy that I can be happy with.

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).

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.
