This was kylie’s best perfume in my opinion. It suited her image and what we know and imagine her to be. Not too sweet not too strong but it had a sex appeal all of it’s own……and of course no where to be found in stores but Kylie Darling is everywhere! SO FRUSTRATING!!!
This stuff doesnt last but smells so pleasant you just cant go wrong and packaging was very cute but all you find everywhere is bloody Beyonce Heat and Britneys fantasy etc Kylie’s perfumes no where to be found and shameful in Australia here we are worshipping other celebs but not interested in our own Kylie.

This is a fragrance that really makes me happy.
It has a really nice mix of vanilla, champagne, peach, grapefruit and a white floral scent.
The champagne, peach and grapefruit gives it a very happy scent while the vanilla and the white floral scent gives it a cosy, yummy and beautiful feeling.
As I said, this fragrance makes me very happy and it reminds me of my mother who tends to like this kind of sweet, fruity and floral fragrances.
Extrimall – :
Peach champagne, smell much many other scents.
Pretty artificial peach and champagne note put together,easy and pleasant. Rather, nothing develops.
It is not a bad smell, but simple and does not come to my liking.
Surely it has its audience. Durability: 4 hours.

Pink Sparkle is one of those celebrity fragrances that came and went. Kylie’s scents are usually fruit and sugar bombs but this one has a strong concept going on. It’s based around the scent of champagne and the bottle has a little champagne bottle cap to continue the theme. The juice is a pink blush colour (like Maybe Baby) and straight out of the bottle you can really smell the champagne. It’s frothy and backed up with a bit of sweetness. Really pleasant and easy to wear, yet just different enough to set it apart. So why did this one die out so quickly? My guess can be summed up in one word – longevity.
This does not last AT ALL. Not even on clothes. I put a few sprays on and by the time I made it to the bus stop it was basically gone. And I mean really gone – not detectable in the least. I think it’s a real shame because it smells so lovely when first applied. I’m going to be keeping my eyes out for a gift set of this one and hope the body lotion can save the day.
All fizz and no sparkle – sigh!
игорьевич – :
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. I like the contrast between the feminine vanilla and the masculine vetiver, but the effect is quite short lived.
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.
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.
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.

Champagne & spices. I love it. I usually like sweeter perfumes, but I love this one. Very good for its price
evgen-7514 – :
First of all it is a very unique scent,it has a very tingling grapefruit effect at the beginning and very fresh opening.But after the deluxe champagne comes next and it also has a very fresh but sexy smell.I haven’t tried Kylie’s other fragrances but this one is amazing.You really feel like young girly happy and find you in a special occasion or a festive day.I highly recommend this scent for all ages and also this fragrance is better for spring and summer.
starvitaly – :
To me it smells like a celebration in spring, probably because of a clear champagne note in it! Anyways this scent just lifts me up and I like wearing it. Unfortunately, bad lasting power..
tntsatana – :
i agree with that it smells like an old lady perfume-in the beginning…. but i like it when it has settled, i think its the white floral that lingers.
alexandere783 – :
Very head aching and sour in the beginning. Reminds me of that really strong perfumes, older women (80-90) use.
But after 1/2 an hour, this transforms from heavy and sour, to a light musky scent, with gardenia and lily-of-the-valley. A real beauty!
Staying power is about 4-6 hours, but for the price, I can spray more of it 😉
RoaroWary – :
A brief sour grapefruit blast immediately upon opening. The grapefruit vanishes quickly and is replaced by the boozy champagne aroma (the two intertwine beautifully). I don’t detect too many flowery notes (there’s a tiny hint of jasmine). The vanilla and musk are quite haunting on the dry down. The champers is the winning aroma in this lovely little spritzy number! I really like this one.
There’s an issue I have with Kylie’s fragrances. They never last long enough. She needs to do some intense EDP versions of her collection. I’d buy them. Another general observation of her range of fumes is that they’re ‘safe’ and super feminine. I love that! If I’m feeling particularly girly, I love to wear her fragrances.

This smells like a beautiful pink champagne! It is a lovely fragrance that has a remarkable price point. Granted the sillage is not so great but for the cost of the bottle you can afford a few spritzes a day in order to obtain that lovely fruity, alcoholic buzz.
serjoga396 – :
Peach and Gardenia is all I can smell in Pink Sparkle. The gardenia is exceptionally prominent and it somehow smells very similar to Mariah’s Forever in that aspect. The way it mixes with the peach and jasmine gives it a mature smell, a smell that does not fit with the general perception Pink Sparkle gives off.
I spritzed this on today for work and we got a busload of old ladies, and I almost got lost in there with all the cloying gardenias in full bloom.
crysa – :
I LVE THIS FRAGNANCE BY KYLIE.it is so sweety and adorable.I have it and is perfekt for spring and summer.But i don’t like DAZZLING DARLING.by Kylie.
axoppygully – :
I just bought this for $12.99 at Winners today and I must say that the name and the scent actually match each other. Sometimes it frustrates me when I expect a name to match the scent and its completely not the case such as perfumes with dark edgy names and then when you get it home or sample it,it smells sweet & innocent or even the other way around…grrr..Drives me mad!! Anyway,IMO this one is true to its name so thats a plus…Also it reminds me Of the discontinued Rimmel perfume I used to have that I sprayed on me before a workout.Its not the best scent in the world but there is an upbeat energy that I like when I need an energy boost.
Not bad for a low price and now I have a scent to get me started before I workout so for that reason I’d definitely purchase this one again 🙂

Kylie Minogue doesn’t have many good perfumes but Pink Sparkle is quite nice in my opinion. The first word that comes to my mind when testing it is fresh. It smells fresh and a bit sour. The grapefruit is sour. The lily-of-the-valley is fresh and green. Peach adds a little fruity juiciness to it. The heart smells very green. Champagne adds a little festive character to it but it’s subtle. It’s still mostly green and sour. Base gets a slightly sweeter with a touch of vanilla. But the sourness is still the leader in this fragrance.
Pink Sparkle is definitely one of the best perfumes by Kylie. It’s zestful and bubbling.
blocked – :
Her best perfume yet. A beautiful,adorable scent. 🙂
45sweet – :
i actually really like the smell of this shame bout the lasting power
serdgey – :
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.
luxor99 – :
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 😀
kanabis – :
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!
Quasaron666 – :
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? 😮
evbokarev – :
this actually smells really nice gonna buy one day
Dhzim – :
A cheerfully intense scent. I bought this for myself, but gave it to my daughter as it suits her personality better.
leshko83 – :
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 😀
bhoomin – :
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!
qqq5 – :
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
140473 – :
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)
wworon03 – :
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.
Deaherype – :
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.
wadim-bobik – :
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.
dragoxvzna – :
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.
Tommi – :
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 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.
Пятая передача – :
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.
arm77 – :
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.
tezaya – :
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!!!
swinarse – :
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! 🙂
prostofila666 – :
I LOVE Kylie!! Ive never tried her scents, unfortunately. This one sounds really fun!! I hope I find it online!!! : )
