Private Show

I blind bought Private Show on Vinted weeks ago and received it today. Well let me say that, firstly, I got extremely surprised to find that fragrance there, even more when I saw it was brand new and still sealed, I got this for 30€ which means I paid 1€ for each milliliter. Secondly, that fragrance quality is fine, the bottle is really cute and surprisingly, to me, doesn’t feel cheap. If I had to say something about the overall aesthetic I would just say that it doesn’t scream coffee perfume as much as the B.O line from YSL for example, it just looks like it’s a nice sweet scent (which is) but it doesn’t reflect that nice latte macchiato vibe. The box is cute, even if really typical for a celebrity fragrance it stays on brand with Britney, doesn’t look too cheap or out of context. But still doesn’t look like it contains that interesting creamy coffee concoction. • On the opening : I get greeted by the creaminess of the Whipped Cream I can already detect the gourmand and also creamy touch of the Dulce de Leche, but not as much as the sweetness of these yummy fruits such as this wonderful and loud Nectarine followed by a shy and light citrusy touch with a subtle Clementine, it feels like they’ve been freshly cut and served on a nice plate minutes ago and are so juicy that their scent is taking over the entire room. • On the dry down : This is when the Creaminess is really shining through ! That creaminess given by the Whipped Cream gets even creamier and complimented by that amazingly yummy and sweet Dulce de Leche, I get a light to medium roasting type of coffee, all these creamy and sweet notes are re-creating the taste of a nice and warm, creamy Latte Macchiato with a caramel syrup/topping. Really gives the same effect as dipping your lips in your cup and sipping that sweet and creamy milk/caramel/coffee delight. The fruits are still present and more than pleasant, even if I get more Nectarine than Clementine. About the Jasmine & Orange Blossom my nose doesn’t seem to pick them, with that being said, I think they just help and enhance that creamy feeling since white florals (especially Jasmine) are light and creamy. Then for Amber and Musk, that my nose doesn’t pick up as well, I think they create more depth to such a fragrance and help to highlight these sweet notes. Overall it’s such a great blind buy / surprise, I love it. I can’t wait to wear this while drinking my coffees with dim lights on during winter/autumn or just cold times. If you love your sweet and really light coffees, especially with milk and topping on it, this is for you. It carefree, pretty and yummy, a bit youthful but doesn’t affect any age groups to stop wearing this, such a beautiful little thing. Even if people say it’s a faint fragrance, on me I get moderate lasting power and strong (sometimes enormous) sillage. Such a great purchase. ♡ 10/10 I am in looove ♡

I really wanted to love Black Opium but we were not meant to be. sometimes I even manage to like it but each time my nose finds something truly inharmonious in it and it ruins it for me. Britney Spears Private Club is somehow Black Opium's more delicious,more harmonious and easier to like sister. it shares BO's vanilla-white floral-coffee heart but the coffee is less intense here, pear is replaced by nectarine and the vanilla-coffee-white florals are wrapped in cream and caramel turning it to a less screechy, more well rounded,ten times more delicious and a creamier version of Black Opiums. I can't make up my mind on how I feel about Black Opium but I surely know how I feel about Private Show. I love it and I can't get enough of it. If you buy it just for it's coffee note it might disappoint you. it's not a dark, bitter or strong coffee. it's a coffee with added suger,milk, a huge dollop of whipped cream and some caramel syrup on top of it. but if you're into warm, sweet, yummy, creamy scents make sure to give it a try. Britney Spears Private Show reminds me of my special morning coffee. I can't ask my husband to make me coffee more than once a day but I can spray this yummy perfume whenever I want. unfortunately this yummy scent fades away very quickly and after an hour, all I can smell is a faint yet pleasant scent of mostly vanilla and flowers(I guess orange flower) which is soft, clean and less sweet. maybe it's just my nose. maybe I get nose blinded because I keep sniffing my skin dozens of times in the first hour. I preferred to be able to smell it's adorable opening scent for hours but even now I like it. I haven't tried Prerogative yet so I can't compare but I wish they bring back Private Show. پرایوت شو یه شباهتهایی به بلک اوپیوم داره منتها بنظر من بهتره. تو بلک اوپیوم یه ناهماهنگی بین نتها حس میکنم یجورایی انگار یسری از نتهاش باهم تو جنگن. تو پرایوت شو همون قلب وانیل-قهوه-گلهای سفید رو داریم بااین تفاوت که گلابی با شلیل جایگزین شده، نت قهوه کمرنگتر و ملایمتره و به لطف اضافه شدن خامه شیرین و کارامل، رایحه کلی نرمتر و خوشمزه تر و خامه ای تر شده. تو این عطر قهوه، قوی و تلخ و تیره نیست. یه لیوان قهوه رو تصور کنید که پر از شکره و شیر و یه کپه بزرگ خامه روشه و رو اونم سیروپ کارامل ریختن. این عطر به همون خوشمزگیه. از اون عطرهاست که تا هوا سرد میشه میرم سراغشون و تو یه ساعت، صدبار دست خودم رو بو میکنم. منتها بعد یه ساعت، اون بوی خامه ای و خوشمزه تا حد زیادی محو میشه و بیشترین چیزی که حس میکنم یه رایحه وانیلی-گلی تمیز با شیرینی ملایمتره اما بنظر خودم، بعد یه ساعت بینی خودم دیگه قادر نیست بقیه نتها رو حس کنه وگرنه هنوز هستن.. اگه روایح گرم و شیرین و خامه ای و خوشمزه دوست دارید حتما امتحانش کنید. من اکثر عطرهای بریتنی رو دوست دارم اما پرایوت شو رو از همه بیشتر دوست دارم.

Oh, wow! It turns out that while I don't really love Britney Spears Fantasy range and find them too fruity sweet, I adore both of the coffee perfumes from her line. I think Private Show is really rather lovely; and while Prerogative is a sort of "balanced oriental" take on a coffee note, this one is bonkers + giddily sweet; cream and sugar and caramel-ish-ness, a little bit of fruit and yes! there absolutely IS dulche de leche in there - wear this and you'll smell like a giant sexy caramel-coffee bomb on overdrive! (and I think I'm here for it, to be honest). Also: who'da thunk that my favourite coffee fragrances ever are not Montale or YSL but Britney Spears, ah'ma clearly not a sophisticated lady but I do heartily recommend both this and Prerogative....... This one, Private Show, also brings back fond memories for me of the way my grandmother used to make coffee actually: she'd heat a can of carnation milk until it almost hit that caramel point (ie, dulche de leche style) then would stir in spoonful after spoonful of sugar and instant coffee powder till the whole thing was strong and thick and could practically stand on its own. It was wonderful and naughty and eccentric and wonderful - and it tasted just like this smells :D Also: the other day I wore Private Show layered over Montale Patchouli Leaves (a simple, but strong and very well done patchouli frag) just cos I am 47 and am not supposed to want to go out in public smelling like a creamy caramel coffee milkshake and do you know what? The two were PHENOMENAL together. So I do recommend also layering this with a nice bit of patchouli for a different way to wear this lovely little spritz. Private Show lasts for ages and has good sillage too. Impressive for how cheap this one is.

I was a bit scared when I got this fragrance because the cap smelled horrid like rotten milk when I first opened the box (it stops when you give it a few sprays after unboxing) and when I first sprayed it this was a bit alcoholic (this also vanishes after one or two minutes), but this was one of my biggest blind buy successes to date . This scent is super warm, gourmand (with a lactonic component) and fruity. After the alcoholic scent fades after a few moments I get this fruity opening with the clementine (citrus) and nectarine. It then transitions to a comforting and warm gourmand with the star note that is dolce de leche (what gives it the lactonic, desert-like vibe), whipped cream and coffee (a dry and soft coffee grain smell) - these last two are more than just an opening note listed in the pyramid and it mixes with the main dolce de leche note. It smells like a warm latte. Such a comforting, delicious and beautiful scent to wear in cool weather day or night, or for intimate settings (or bedtime). I was pleasantly surprised with the performance that a lot of people were saying it was only three hours and recommending the VIP variant over this one because of this (I will still give that one a try in the future) but this on me is long-lasting (around 6-7h); the projection is a bit tamer - it is within an arm's length in the first hours and then it becomes an extremely long-lasting warm skin scent. I am so happy I found this; it is one of the few celebrity fragrances I love (along with Cloud - that one with a cleaner, cooler lactonic gourmand vibe). 8/10 Edit 25th October 2021: just got the body mist and I also really like it

What a yummy scent! I bought at the same time this perfume, Fancy by Jessica Simpson and Good Girl by CH and I must tell you the truth... this one is the winner for me. The ideal blend of sweet gourmand and white florals and a killer dry down of musk and amber. Not only that: on my skin, the scent lasts for more than 10 hours. It's crazy. I had read and heard so many negative reviews regarding its duration, but on my wrists this perfume lasted all day. I woke up the next day and my clothes and skin still smelled like dulce de leche and jasmine. A dream, really. I don't know why people dislike it so much (perhaps there are different versions? Watered-down perfumes?) but mine turned out quite well and I am very happy. It also works better in very cold days. Thruth be told, the initial whiff of Private Show is very alcoholic and a bit synthetic. The good thing is that it lasts very little and immediately you feel the powerful aroma of dulce de leche and whipped cream. I can't smell any coffee and I don't think it smells like Black Opium at all. I like this one the better. The heart notes are very well combined and it gives off a very lactonic aroma, bright and clean, like the perfume bottle. A clear gem. My mom told me that it smelled like someone fresh out of a bath. I used Fantasy as a teen (a bomb of cupcakes and kiwis), so this perfume feels much more mature and elegant, but equally sweet and delicious. This one is creamy, clean and floral. I truly love it and if you manage to find an original and sealed one, you won't regret it.
