For some silly reason I got rid of this years ago and have never forgotten about it. Yes it’s a celeb perfume but it is honestly really good. It’s sweet strawberries with floral notes. It is by far her best perfume and always gets compliments. Cost me a lot to buy it now but I’m glad I have it.
Sorry I just realised my review is for the EDT which I have. I would love to have the EDP too.

I got this for my 16th birthday back in 2008 and I loved it. It smelled so fruity mostly of berries. I used to drench myself in it. This didn’t really smell like a real perfume, more a lovely body mist. I don’t think it’s something I would like today, way too sickly. I always thought the bottle was quite ugly though.

I got this fragrance as a Christmas gift when I was thirteen. I remember enjoying the scent of this perfume! My friends loved this too – Showtime is maybe the most complimented perfume I’ve owned.
Showtime is extremely sweet and immature (in a good way). It’s a great perfume to wear in the daytime. It’s nothing too special but people around you will certainly notice (and love) it.

I have to be careful when I wear this scent, it often makes me feel sick on the stomach. It’s clingy – so if you like a bit of sillage, then that’s there. However I find the really strong sticky sweetness makes me nauseous. I can get away with wearing just a very little, and then it’s not too bad and after a while is quite nice.
windows2041 – :
Very artificial sweet, and that is just all.
Hristi – :
I want this perfume so bad.
The notes are amazing. I love anything marshmallow!
Ugh. I live in the Philippines and I don’t know where to buy this!
By any chance, please notify me if you know! 🙁

Thank you.

I love the top notes of berry and the base note of caramel. Its quite a flirty and fun frag. I only wish it has more silage, its a little subtle, but noticeable. The longevity is good though
Amsiti – :
I got given this fragrance as a present in 2009. I used to like it then, but now I really hate it. I barely used it. It’s really strong, probably too strong. I get headaches from it. I do like the bottle though 😉 if it was a weaker perfume it would be perfect!
mixfight – :
THIS SCENT IS ADORABLE. iT SMELLS OF FRESH BLACKCURRANTS AND A DEWDROPPY SORT OF SWEETNESS. i LOVE IT
gyg232speagoessenda – :
This scent is nice… But that’s about it. I never understood the hype about it. It’s nice to wear every now and then but I can’t wear it too often as it’s extremely overpowering.
rrrserega – :
every chick loves this but personally its too strong for me
cellflacceboolice – :
This. Is. Amazing! Amazing bottle, amazing smell, amazing price, everything about it just screams SHOWTIME! At first when I sprayed it, all I got was this chemical mess/ew. After 5 minutes, it became this soapy marshmallow and strawberry combo(yes, soapy) but from then on, it turned into this wonderful blend of marshmallow, strawberry, caramell, a touch of licourice and the soapy effect is still slightly there. A wonderfully entertaining scent, 10/10 for me <3 love love! Even better than pink sugar and fantasy tbh (*braces self*)
evkon – :
the only thing im thinking of is swedish cinnamon buns, i dont want to smell like a cake..so i dont like this..its too sweet, i wanted to try it because i read that it had liqorice in it but its only a weak note in this perfume.its not sexy,not fresh,just CUTE
bobriq – :
It smells like sherbet and strawberries and everything i love in a milkshake. It doesnt last long though but i now only use it on my anniversaries because i used this a lot when i first met my partner and it just sends me back. Maybe ill hate it one day if we break up, but until then its my time machine back to the past. Cant seem to find it in the shops anymore.
barabashka – :
Sweet Sweet and Sweet! I can smell caramel, strawberry and marshmallows. Great sillage and lasted 7-8 hours on my skin, few day on clothes. It is winter in my country and I am loving the warmth and sweetness of Showtime. <3 it.
blackyvoron – :
I love this fragrance, but at the moment there is no way, I could find it anywhere… Anybody can help?

I originally wanted to do a review on this perfume so hope this helps love!
I’ve had this perfume for a while now…I’d say about 2 years almost? And it is honestly one of my favorite sweet scents.
I honestly wore this straight for six months, the end of summer and also transitioning to winter.
I like it because it is, well, obviously sweet (candy almost), but at the same time warm, sexy and almost cosy.
So if you’re expecting a watery fruity light sweet scent for summer this isn’t it.
It’s slightly heavy, the lasting power is AMAZING , and it’s just … Simply a VERY SWEET scent.
Sometimes I like to layer this scent:) I use it, then spray a more watery juicy Victoria Secret body spray on top and it’s delicious !
So have fun with it honestly !
Some other positive points to mention:I like the Drydown the most. On my skin, it smells of warm vanilla and caramel.
I love it!
So I do recommend this perfume, it’s a definite must for any sweet tooth’s fragrance collection. It’s quite comparable I find to Jessica Simpson’s “Fancy” , but it still has that uniqueness to it, doubt me not.
As for the bottle , I find it ADORABLE.
with the fragrance being pink and the lid being a pink crystal <3
So yeah, overall I love this fragrance.
& I love it even more because whenever I wear it I ALWAYS get compliments for it.
I’ve literally been stopped and asked by friends or strangers what it is exactly I’m wearing, and they’re all surprised its the quite affordable “show time” 🙂
I hope this helps 🙂

Question to all u fragrantica Ladies everywhere 🙂
I’m thinking of buying this perfume
but is it suitable for summer days? for most sweety sugary perfumes are better in cold winter days
and its one hot humid July here in Egypt 🙂
I am waiting for ur opinions 🙂
gamersimpson – :
To me, it’s like Givenchy Hot Couture meets Lancome Midnight Rose. At first, all you get is this synthetic, sweet raspberry, just like the one in Hot Couture. It would be nice if black currant didn’t come so quickly. It does not smell like Hot Couture or Midnight Rose for a long time, though. After a few minutes it changes and leaves this powdery-currant smell.
Not like it at all. Maybe, if it stayed like Hot Couture all the time, I would at least say it’s a good and cheap alternative. But it changes too quickly, ale turns into something not too pleasant.
crow – :
This perfume is very strong in scent, its immensely sweet and very girly. I got this given to me as a gift one year for my birthday and wore it often but I’ve fazed out of it due to the intensity of the smell which on occasion would be a little sickly to wear.
In all its probably best for the younger age gap in the teens due to its candy-like scent. It screams innocent and definitely smells it.
ChoperPoper – :
unbelievably sweet 🙂 but not too sweet even tough it is more that 100% sweet ….(doesnt make sense does it :P)like most of Kylie’s fragrances. Very yummy lifts my mood up when I wear it 😀
A perfect day wear for me . For gloomy days as well as the sunny ones . There’s something about Kylie;s perfumes I can’t resist. Good value for money and a lot of beautifully scented happiness…
I love the note of marshmallow in it 😀 i love marshmallows and this perfume really contains it. It is like the whole jar of marshmallows, strawberries, caramel , blackcurrant and vanilla . I am into sweet fragrances so this one was made especially for me I think 🙂
onweek1 – :
Haha I love this Kylie perfume it smells so much like Parmaviolents (the sweet) Very fruity and a lovely day perfume.
Vedaddertneme – :
SO YUMMY!
I adore this perfume.
It is sunny-sweet, sparkly and so fresh!
It smells of Love Hearts sweets and juicy fruits!
It is subtle, not overpowering, so I wear it in the daytime. It doesn’t have enough power for the evening.
I could dowse myself in this stuff. Mmmmmmmn…
Suinniste – :
Can anyone tell me if the edp is any different to the edt. I have the edt and yes it is very sweet and sharp at the same time. I can smell very strong aniseed and berries. I was hoping the edp has more depth to it and not as sharp? The edp seems very hard to find?
AlexBroker – :
I love Showtime. It’s lovely, sweet, fruity, like a small explosion of joy ! Licorice and strawberry are very present and so yummy. Correct lasting power.
nastushaS – :
The berrys in the top notes should be milder, they are way too heavy. The base is full of yummy sweets but there’s something synthetic about it which doesn’t make me want to buy this.
Gremlin_34Pycb – :
Wanted to try this out, but they only had the EDT… so I bought the Shower Gel. Seriously, don’t. It’s a total waste of money. The (very light) smell on your skin after showering lasts about 10 minutes, then it’s over.
Hope to find this EDP somewhere, because the ingredients really left me intrigued. Sounds like a pretty sweet thing. The EDT didn’t convince me, though.
demon14333 – :
it’s gorgeous, like sugar in a bottle.
love it!

floneenewof – :
This is lovely – sugary, powdery and sweet. More like a quick fling than a lifetime romance… Fun while it lasts but not a classic. Very feminine though and would suit someone younger as its teen appropriate.
KOMU – :
It’s sweet, young at heart and playful. For girls that want to party all night.
It is a fruty scent that soon turns into a delicious and alluring caramel fantasy. It makes guys wanna kiss you all over. Trust me 😉
4121519 – :
I love this scent, have bought it twice. Yes it is very sweet and some people may find it too cloying which I understand, but it just makes me feel really happy when I wear it. Must be the sugar rush. I bought Darling because I was interested in the boronia flower to see what it smelt like but this is more memorable.
Walter_chel – :
This perfume is absolutely delicious – as long as you don’t spray it on your skin! 🙂 What I’m trying to say here, is, too much (and too close to your nose) is like breathing in a stomach ache from too much sugar. If it’s on other people it really has the X factor, but if it’s on me it smells way, way, WAY too sweet. It’s just basically strawberry flavoured sugar.
Strong115 – :
fruit, sugar, fruit, sugar, fruit, sugar……….the perfume is ok if thats what you like in a perfume, does nothing for me
Xeroxxjpcn – :
Showtime smells like strawberry flavoured lollipops, vanilla icecream and copious amounts of sugar, making it the most sugary sweet fragrance I have ever smelt.
Just when I thought nothing could be sweeter than Fantasy by Britney Spears, along comes Showtime. This is definitely not going to appeal to everyone. This fragrance requires certain tastes in perfume to be loved. Lovers of gourmands or sweet fruity florals will absolutely adore this.
In my opinion, it is a little too sweet and young for my tastes, however it would be an instant fave amongst young teen girls. It has just enough sweetness and girlishness to compliment their youth and vitality.
grigo.2000 – :
My friend showed up today..and I was wondering what scent she was wearing… really intriguing scent.. I am haven’t been fun of Kylie perfumes, so that I even didn’t know this perfume.
It was so intriguing..like sweeter, more liquorice version of Euphoria…and the she told me it was sparkle edp of Kylie…
I am really impressed…nothing very classy but still sexy and intriguing….
tasha.19 – :
There’s the toilette version for the day, and then there’s a parfum variant for the evening. Kylie’s got your back on this one.
The parfum is unsurprisingly more expensive then the toilette. Both versions also have the same coloured bottle. However you can still tell the difference between the two versions as the pafum is filled with gold sparkles.
The parfum is sweeter & richer in scent.
The liquorice is strong and overrides the berries (I can faintly detect the blackcurrant).
The toffee is indeed creamy; the fragrance is ‘warmed’ up as a result. The lasting power still isn’t good.
SHOWTIME isn’t anywhere near original; the liquorice and berries are very reminiscent to Pink Sugar, especially when coupled with the foody base notes.
The parfum is nicer then the toilette, but the gold glitter gets everywhere. Messy.
I’ll stick to PINK SUGAR in future.
Vovqa. – :
Probably the sweetest fragrance I’ve sniffed and tested in a while! Licorice adds an interesting aroma to the fragrance as well as yummy fudge and candy. Showtime is very juicy with its strong berry notes but also joyful, flirty and girlish, setting you instantly in a party mood. Nice choice for a night out in town with girlfriends.
MaXthesniper – :
It actually smells like jellybeans – or at least the jellybeans you can buy in Australia! It’s a lot sweeter than Darling, for sure, and i wouldn’t recommend it to anyone with super-sensitive noses, but i really like it. Very girly, and perfect in small doses for a spring night out.
arhitectur – :
It’s similar to Pussy Deluxe, but too sweet, if you ask me.
alisher99_99 – :
dear Goretti, i am really not sure in which stores, but i believe that this fragrance should be available in regular perfume stores. it was supposed to hit the stores in march 2008, so if still not near you, i believe it should soon be there. 🙂
