i actually really like the smell of this shame bout the lasting power
If the color pink was human and wore a scent…then Pink Sparkle would be her signature, because to be honest this fragrance is…well…the epitome of pink and sparkly.
This is a very sweet scent, which starts off with an effervescent fruitiness before a bouquet of white flowers starts to emerge, and it finally leaves a sugary sweet vanilla aroma behind at the end.
The champagne gives it a very bubbly, interesting kick that brings the perfume to life, and sets it apart from other floral fruity scents.
It has a personality, and that is very appealing to me.
The scent is fun, flirtatious and unapologetically bubbly. It’s perfect for the girl who doesn’t take herself, or life, too seriously, and just wants to have some fun.
I wear it for casual wear, but it has a romantic edge to it, and it seems to me to be a perfect first date scent, as it has a certain innocent sweet allure to it.
The one real downside of this scent was that it doesn't have such good lasting power. Still, it’s cheap enough not to have to skimp on re-sprays.
So, overall a good perfume, and the best from Kylie that I’ve tried so far.
Nice scent. Fresh and clean and smells a lot like champagne. Feminine and elegant. Love it :) The bottle and the box is cute and fun, too :) Go Kylie :D
fizzy sweet champagne, fresh citrus and something nice floral for dry down. the downside is that it fizzles away too fast 10 minutes and it becomes a barely detectable floral even if I put my nose in it. maybe it's just edt:( If KM reconsiders edp version I'll be all over it!
I mistakenly thought I loved this perfume (quick spritz at the department store and then I couldn't remember which of the sparkle scents it was that I tried and liked), but I actually love the POP version, not this cloying, head ache inducing, heavy, icky stink.
What I don't get is how this one is classified as floral fruity and the POP version (which to me is light, champagney and airy) is floral woody musk. Is there a mistake in the categorization? Or is my nose all screwed up? :o
this actually smells really nice gonna buy one day
This is a mature scent, its good, but not my type.. more old lady as my boyfriend said
This is by far my favourite of the Kylie scents, I actually think its pretty unique too. It actually smells like champagne, but a champagne you want to dowse yourself in and not alcoholly! its fun and cheery and fresh. Lovely fragrance. I found the staying power actually fairly good which i hadn't expected. I'd say even if your not a fan of her others check this one out as its totally different :0)
A cheerfully intense scent. I bought this for myself, but gave it to my daughter as it suits her personality better.
Pink Sparkle has an amazing scent to it it's a very sweet champagne kind of smell and it goes very well for the new Spring season and it's defenatly an Abby xoxo scent. xoxo :D
Pink Sparkle is a very feminine but mature scent I think, and I also think that while the bottle looks very girly, it has a sophisticated feel to it when you look at it xoxo!
The top notes kinda remind me of washing up powder, well, thats what my friend Abby xoxo said, and i see her point, but i like the smell of washing up pwder, it smells nice!
After that though, you can really smell this tnag of champage in it! x
I like it : floral and fresh, joyful but doesn't last.
Not my favourite Kylie fragrance.
When I got the sample my first thought was: Oh no, another cheap pop star scent! But when I applied it on my skin, it was a really nice surprise! I thought it would be an overwhelming, way too sweet scent, but is was nice sweet - and a few minutes later when I sniffed my wrist the scent was far more "adult" than I thought - I'd expected it to be a cheap teenage scent but actually it isn't like that at all! I really like it and would not mind getting this as a present (or buying it myself, but I already have two nice bottles of perfume and they won't go empty though I spray every day xD)
I love Kylie's fragrances and this is absoutely agreeable too, I've only tested it, so I have no long relationship with this one yet, but I have to admit that it is well done. I guess if I got it as a gift it would grow on me fast.
It is soft, feminine and playful. Fresh and fruity but in a powdery way.
Pink Sparkle is a more mature (less girlish) Kylie perfume, so maybe if I was about 30 I'd definitely vote for Pink Sparkle, but I'm 22, so I prefer her gourmand ones, Sweet Darling and Showtime which I've just now rebought instead of buying Pink Sparkle.
Adding to my before comment: Lasting power is quite bad, but then, whaddya expect? Buy the 15ml bottle (9,06€ at DM) and carry it around.
A fun fragrance like the others from Kylie. I guess this will fit the new year's eve party.
By far the best Kylie fragrance til now (I own "Showtime" and "Sweet Darling" - they are okay but generally a bit too sweet and girly, and "Sweet Darling has some sickening floral note in it which makes me use it less).
Funny enough, for me this starts directly with the heart notes. Very fruity champagne is what I get, right from the start.
Funnier even: After that, it turns CINNAMON. Pure and clear. I wonder, how can it not be in the notes?
The vanilla-vetiver-musk drydown is very nice. I love vanilla and I like vetiver, I'm not so into musk. But it is a good blend.
Not to compare with other more expensive fragrances like for example Chopard or Dior ones. But quite lovely for its small price. Will wear it in the early days of spring.
I'm amazed at all the long reviews. Although the fragrance is pleasant enough, and the flacon inviting enough to make you want to test it, it is certainly not remarkable. At the risk of sounding like a big snob, you get what you pay for here. My favourite borrowed saying "cheap no good and good no cheap" applies here. Not for me unfortunately, but nice try Kylie.
Pink Sparkle is quite a good surprise from the Kylie Monogue line. It's really bubbly and girly optmistic.
It starts with really fruity sweet grapefruit smell, refreshing! It smells like pink sparkling champagne mixed a lot of sweetness and a tiny bit touch of creaminess. However, it still can't escape the generitic fate, it reminds me Maybe Baby from Benefit, and a little bit weird characteristic similarity to Dior Addict II and Baby doll from YSL.
Later on, the perfume just gets more and more sweet on top of the nice refreshing bubbly champagne, in a creamy white flower way. Somehow it reminds me a lot of Happy Spirit by Chopard, and possibily a little bit of SJP NY. Happy Spirit gives me a headach, however, Pink Sparkle is slightly better, not headach-inducing, but still makes me feel uneasy. It feels like the ingredients in Pink Sparkle isn't that welcoming to my nose, somehow it cries out so-syntheticly-stiched-together to me.
The dry down is just more discreed and sweeter in a warmer way.
Even though the perfume doesn't have big sillage, but every now and then when I smell it from myslef, I find it kinda heady(I think I have a problem with commercial jasmine + sandalwood combo).
Don't rush into buying it, because of the top notes is so promising and so deliciously champangne; if you know you had some problem with white flowers and/or sandalwood, wait and skin test at least once.
However, if you enjoy Happy Spriti, SJP NY, Pink Sparkle is recommended.
I only have the perfume DEODORANT now. Once I had an opportunity to drink pink champagne with my brother. I immediately remembered I have this fragrance, ran into the bathroom, spritzed it on, and put it under his nose, "Isn't it just the same as this champagne?" He said: "No, it smells good. Wow." I said: "I know it smells good, of pink champagne!" He said: "No. Champagne doesn't smell good. THIS smells good."
Oh well :)))) I personally believe champagne smells good and THIS smells good too ;)
P.S. As for the EDP and EDT as opposed to the perfume deodorant, I cannot wear them due to a certain ingridient they share (?) with Nina Ricci's Nina, although I'm not sure what it is, might be musk. I seem to be overly sensitive to this note, which kills the rest of the fragrance for me. Anyone has the same experience?

The fragrance
- - - - - - - - -
On first application the fragrance is slightly sweet thanks to the peach, but the tart grapefruit note livens it up and keeps the sweetness to a minimum.
The grapefruit carries down into the heart, whilst the peach note fades fairly quickly. The floral notes are a let down as they never seem to develop. The gardenia is the only one I can separate - but that is due to the 'champagne' accord. The grape mingles with the lingering grapefruit and smothers the florals, it does give a bit of energy and a sense of bubbles, but it's not wildly different from the top notes.
The vanilla infused musk base isn't too sweet thanks to the sharp vetiver. The vetiver accord is most likely synthetic, since the Kylie fragrances are cheaply manufactured. I like the contrast between the feminine vanilla and the masculine vetiver, but the effect is quite short lived.

Other buying considerations

As this is a Kylie/Coty collaboration it's no surprise that the staying power is poor; It goes close to the skin within half an hour and I struggle to smell anything after an hour.
The fruits and the watered down florals are a pleasant combination for the current, [supposedly] warmer weather, but I personally doubt I'd go for a fragrance with zesty grapefruit on rainy days and colder weather, so I don't see this as being suitable all year round.
PINK SPARKLE is a nice casual fragrance and can also be worn to work. However I think it's too quiet, safe and is unoriginal, so don't think it's 'special' enough for evening wear or for special occasions.

My opinion
- - - - - - - - - -
While I don't dislike PINK SPARKLE or think there's anything disagreeable with it, at the end of the day it is just another safe and generic Kylie Minogue EDT, that follows the same old blueprint as her past fragrances: A mild mix of fruit, underdeveloped florals and a musk infused vanilla base. Nice, but nothing new so it's a bit boring.
This would make a good gift choice as it's mild and unoffensive. I also see it as being wearable for women of any age.
I hope her sister's latest fashion label used a different company for their upcoming fragrance line, because I've now given up on Kylie's. And I think the consumers as a whole are having doubts too; Many stores have now stopped selling her past fragrances now. Not a good sign; They'd better up their game if they plan on this venture lasting much longer...
Had the chance to test this today and I concur that its Kylies only really credible fragrance to date. The opening is pleasant, sweet, sparkling, fizzy, & fruity which settles to a robust floral heart. I have to say the drydown however adds a slightly bitter note that I didnt enjoy at all, and hence this one wont make it to a place in my rotation.
Its a generally pleasing perfume, but really, nothing new or innovative. Safe, giftable, but not for me.
I was in the same mind-set as Vertigo prior to testing Pink Sparkle. All of Kylie Minogue's fragrances left me either unimpressed or repulsed. Pink Sparkle is different.
This fragrance is neither original or particularly outstanding, however it is very pleasant and certainly wearable. At present I'm sitting at my desk with a glass of pink champagne to my right. I am not surprised to see a champagne note listed here seeming that Pink Sparkle has a somewhat fizzy and rich grape accord.
Although a fruity floral, Pink Sparkle tends to be more on the floral side. The peach is truly lovely in this fragrance. It is feminine and light and definitely not overdone like some peachy scents on the market today. However I do love peach in almost any scent.
The white florals are absolutely delightful in Pink Sparkle. This fragrance strikes me as something very feminine and clean because of them. I also feel that this fragrance represents the real Kylie realistically. Fragrances like Showtime and Couture were scents that I couldn't imagine her wearing in any circumstance due to their overly sweetened and childish nature.
Pink Sparkle is grown-up and inoffensive. It doesn't need to be loud to make a statement. Pink Sparkle is a fragrance that everyone will find themselves liking to some extent, guaranteed.
Smelled this one today @ Priceline. Probably one of her nicest scents yet, I agree with Janinna there. However it does remind me somewhat of Calvin Klein's Euphoria, which I loved about 4 years ago. If you liked Euphoria, you will like this. It's just a 'cheaper' version of it ;) Overall, it's pleasant, kinda sassy sexy, nothing to rave about though.
OK, so waited for the dry-down... and have to say now. Top notes and the heart really good. The dry-down not so good but OK. Still the best fragrance from Kylie.
Must agree with Vertigo. The only good fragrance by Kylie. It is actually interesting. Still waiting for the dry-down. But thumbs up for the top notes and the heart!!!
This is the first fragrance by Kilie Minogue that is actually interesting and I`d even say well crafted. Well done!!!
I don't like Kylie's fragrances. So sweet and generic.
Pink Sparkle is different!
The name suits it perfectly.
It's sparkling, funny, bubbling with youthfullness.
Very nice spring & summer fragrance.
I think I can smell different kind of plums as fruits here. Maybe also peach or apricot ... Rather 'soft' fruits. And some citrus in the first 5 minutes - but maybe it's the golden champagne? Gardenia is present, but not strong.
The scent is not too sweet, not too musky, definitely present and alluring. Becomes a bit boring after some time. Powdery, not my type ... But top notes are really interesting, I think.
Only the bottle reminds me too much of Benefit's Maybe Baby.
Thumbs up, Kylie!
update: wow, you added some notes! peach and grapefruit indeed! :)
this i think is wonderfull
I LOVE Kylie!! Ive never tried her scents, unfortunately. This one sounds really fun!! I hope I find it online!!! : )
