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.

I'm a bit of a Britney fragrance collector, but of course, I only buy those that I also want to wear. Private Show will definitely be added to my collection. It's one of those rare gourmands that also feel light, fresh and clean. Milky caramel goodness without any stickiness. The dulce de leche note smells more like a Werther's original to me, which is just as good. It has that glossy, hard candy-like texture, if you know what I mean. The coffee note is there, but rather subtle, it's remiscent of those refrigerated cafe latte drinks that actually contain very little coffee. To my nose this doesn't smell like Prerogative or Black Opium at all, it's airier and creamier, just a completely different kind of scent. The white florals, musk and refreshing mandarin all lift the fragrance, so it stays clean and light instead of becoming a heavy caramel gourmand. I could imagine pairing this with a coffee scented lotion in winter to give it more oomph. This is a delightful year-round, daytime appropriate perfume for any gourmand lover. It's lighter than for example Fantasy, more of a skin scent. Halfway between a sweet caramel and a creamy "out of the shower" fragance, and the scent profiles don't clash in this case.

I read the reviews here before purchasing this, and it is totally not what I expected! I was expecting a creamy coffee caramel gourmand, nothing more. But the fruits, flowers and amber really come through. I get a sweet creamy floral, and something similar to coconut - even though coconut isn't listed as a note. Kinda like sophisticated sun cream. To me, Private Show smells like a woman who, after spending the day basking in the sun wearing SPF, spritzes on a light and sweet floral and amber fragrance for the evening. The coffee note is there but very faint. The dulce de leche note is really irresistible. Yes it's sweet, but not offensively so. A completely different sweetness to Fantasy - more sophisticated and sexy (though yes, I still love Fantasy!) I feel that this is overlooked by many people because it's a celeb fragrance, which is a shame because it really is lovely. I do wish it lasted longer, but at this price point, I really cannot complain. I'm happy to re-spray! Honestly I LOVE this fragrance. I want to douse myself in it. I'm beginning to think a 30ml bottle isn't going to be enough.

◼︎ Overall: This is a warm, creamy, feminine, delicious caramel vanilla with a hint of citrus and floral. It smells so good - like sweet, ambery whipped cream. Great for layering. The coffee note is barely detectable to me, but I think it adds a bit of warmth and grounding. I'm a little surprised to see people describe it as a coffee fragrance. It's not an especially complex fragrance, but it's a satisfying creamy vanilla. While sweet, it's not simple and sugary like Aquolina Pink Sugar. This scent is familiar but I can't put my finger on what it reminds me of. ◼︎ Safe Blind Buy: If you like gourmand creamy vanilla, yes! This is not a risky scent at all. ◼︎ Projection: doesn't project much, but lovely on the skin. I can catch whiffs of the perfume throughout the day and it's really nice. ◼︎ Longevity: moderate on skin; long on clothing ◼︎ Gender: feminine, very sweet ◼︎ Age Group: I can see anyone liking and wearing this. I think it's suitable for a wide age range including teens.

Has been a while I've not wear this perfume. As I was organising my perfumes last night I've realised that my 100ml bottle is only half left ! And my little 30ml is nearly finished! Then I looked to buy a new 100ml bottle and noticed that have been discontinued ( unfortunately) then I came here and noticed many mentioned about that. Gladly I've found a 100ml bottle ( brand new without box) in a reasonable good price, so I've to buy it! As the cold depressing weather is arriving, this is one of the perfumes that I normally wear ( depending on the occasion , the outfit and my mood). I've just sprayed 1 sprint. Oh my ! I've forgotten how strong this fragrance is! I can definitely notice the dulce de leche hugely on me ( I love dulce de leche) a bit creaminess from the whipped cream but a very faint coffee scent. I not sure but seems stronger now than the last times I wore. If you ( like me) love gourmands & love dulce de leche, buy this delicious while you can.

''Private Show'' is a citrus, fruity, coffee, very sweet, vanilla, LOUD and STRONG scent, with a lot of the ''Fantasy'' DNA. I can smell the whipped cream, a lot of coffee, the clementine, a LOT of sweetness and some musk. It is a very sweet, loud and STRONG perfume, with a powdery touch. A lot of people say that it smells almost the same as ''Prerogative'', but to me they are two different scents. ''Private Show'' is a very sweet LOUD, STRONGER, thicker perfume and ''Prerogative'' is a sweet but a LOT SOFTER and LIGHTER scent. Definitely smell them first before buying them though. [Read my review of ''Prerogative'' as well, where I explain a lot better their differences]. It's a GORGEOUS perfume that I love and it lasts and projects great as well!! But if you are not into very SWEET and LOUD scents, smell it first. I'm not into loud scents AT ALL but this one is BEAUTIFUL!! Definitely check this out!! It's AMAZING!!!

Picture this... It's 2007, you and a couple girlfriends are at the local mall on a Saturday and you're all geared up in your favorite pink Hollister hoodie and Ugg boots. First stop, STARBUCKS! You're young, so you've never really had coffee before, so you order a caramel Frappuccino with EXTRA caramel and whipped cream and all your friends get one too. Up next, bath and body works, victoria secret, Claire's, and of course CINNABON at the end of the night for dessert. All is well... Basically what I'm saying is that this is a sweet, carefree perfume that reminds me of the mid 2000s in the best way possible. The whipped cream note is the most prominent to me, followed by a hint of coffee/dulce de leche with some sweet non-descript juicy fruits. Even though this is such a 'juvenile/basic' perfume, that's kind of why I love it. It's an easy reach, nostalgic, and best of all, cheap :)

I typically really like britney's perfumes. so i went in the store today to try "maui fantasy" and absolutely Hated it! the first thing i thought was..... ugh!, this is j-lo's miami glow!", and it was!, it smelt EXACTLY the same as miami glow. and miami glow is one of my **MOST HATED** fragrances in the whole world. so the salewomen told me that they have the new "private show". so obviously i had to smell it and i was amazed on how good it smelt! gosh this smells so so good! this sexy warm beautiful fragrance is a crossbred between jessica simpson's "fancy" and "viva la juicy gold". im embarrassed to say this but this smells even better and sexier then my beloved VLJ gold.. its so warm and lush and sexy. i smell caramel and butter and vanilla. but its no as heavy as fancy and not as weak as viva la juicy. i LOVE this! you have to get this if you love gourmand fragrances!!!!

Hands down the best light gourmand cheapie there is! This is a delicate scent, sweet like candy, lactonic cloud of soft fruit (nectarine/mandarin) with a white floral touch. Its development is linear, but on its own is quite a balanced and elaborate scent. Warm and fluffy, not cloying or sticky, it is very easy to like and wear. It's not specially long-lasting or projecting, but it's a good craft, with an immense value for price comparing to other gourmand. On clothes, the vanillary drydown lasts an eternity. On the other hand, the VIP flanker is mostly fruity with sour raspberries, citrus, and mango, and very powdery, not really a gourmand, and nothing like the original Private Show. If you like this, maybe you'll like Beyonce Heat Wild Orchid. They have some similarities, but Wild Orchid has a strange smell in cold weather, whereas Private Show shines in any weather.

Why oh why would they discontinue this???? They should’ve just relaunched it... it’s absolutely perfect for sweet perfume lovers and the entire fragrance industry is overwhelmed with sweet scents that just aren’t making the cut! I know we’ve neglected this one in search of better but now that I revisit this I’m like, oh yeah, I’ve had this yummy girl all along and this is what I’m looking for! None of those high end fragrances like Kayali or killian concoctions can even compare to Britney’s sweet affordable well crafted fragrances... and they’re trying hard but they fall short with a hefty price tag. If you’re smart, you’ll relaunch this and the entire next generation that just grew up will flock to this scent - believe me- they’re looking for this! Btw this layers well with Melanie Martinez cry baby in cool fall weather or spring weather.

This is such a compliment-getter. It smells amazing- like sweet, creamy caramel lattes. I get the tiniest whiff of fruit, but mostly milky vanilla coffee and dulce de leche. The kind of scent that makes me go ‘mmmm!’ It’s unique in that I haven’t smelled anything similar to it, I have Black Opium and I don’t think that smells like this at all. Private Show is a nice departure from the fruity Fantasy range. Britney’s perfumes are always such good buys, safe to blind buy and so affordable. The bottle is a bit boring compared to most of her others but it seems like they were going for a more understated look for this and VIP Private Show. I have already repurchased this after using up my bottle and no doubt will again (and for the price you can get this for at the moment it is an absolute bargain to stock up on).

Vanilla, coffee, and cream - what's not to like? Totally my kind of scent. As I heard it's been discontinued, I immediately purchased a bottle and I love it! I noticed when I spray it, I get a boozy hint and then it dries down immediately and lets me enjoy the treat. Will be using this heavily in the winter. A very comforting smell for colder days, indeed. I think Britney Spears just knows how to nail a fragrance. I love Midnight Fantasy, Fantasy OG (slowly appreciating the fragrance), and now Private Show. Edit: Just went through the notes again but found no vanilla mentioned in it. But I swear my nose picks up vanilla for some reason. It's just I get this vanilla, cream mixed with some florals. The dry down becomes powdery for me, due to the musk note. I also feel this lacks depth for some reason.

I had a feeling I would like this one because the notes are some I would usually enjoy and I own a few of Britney's perfumes. The first time I tried it I thought it was beautiful, milky, sweet, soft and cosy; one of my new favourites! However the sillage was very small and subtle. Over time I find it's become more intense, I'm not sure why but in winter and on clothes it now really projects! Definitely a great perfume for very sweet gourmand lovers. Perogative is my other favourite of Birtney's, its quite different but shares she same sweet caramel vibe. Also, like most coffee perfumes I've tried, the coffee doesn't really come out, it's more of a soft milky coffee, which I actually think is much nicer than a bitter coffee scent! Overall this is one of my all-time favourites.

Smells exactly like a caramel frappuccino! Not super strong, I only catch whiffs of it here and there when I wear it.. or maybe my nose just gets used to it.. but it does last for awhile. For some reason Britney scents just always get it right. I've never met a Britney frag I didn't like.. I've owned several over the years and always finish the bottle. They're sweet and enjoyable crowd-pleasers, safe for the office, but with some complexity to keep them interesting during wear. Anyway, Private Show opens quite fruity and floral with a hint of coffee but the dry-down is pure coffee and sweet caramel and whipped cream.. I feel like I'm eternally walking around with a Starbucks cup in my hand when I wear this. Just lovely if you're a coffee fan, a must-have!

I’ve owned Private Show for a while now and have made a decent dent in my bottle so I don’t know why I hadn’t reviewed it. This is such a fun indulgent perfume. Indulgent because this is not your posh espresso in a fancy little cup. This is milk coffee in a huge mug, with a happy dose of sugar and vanilla syrup and a big dollop of cream on top. This is coffee that instantly makes you smile. I usually wear it after my evening shower for bedtime because it sadly doesn’t last on me very long, but there are days when I wake up still smelling yummy. Layered with Bath and Body Works Pumpkin Marshmallow Latte, this becomes a spicy woody coffee scent that is nothing short of sensational. I am so going to make this layer my Christmas scent!!

This is literally the best celeb scent. I ordered several bottles bc I see it’s getting harder to find and I want this to be my signature scent. I feel like it’s a perfect ss bc I think it will wear really well throughout all the seasons. It’s a beautiful floral fruity gourmand. The opening almost reminds me of those chocolate oranges. The bitterness from the coffee, the sweetness of the whipped cream & the citrus is amazing. The coffee is apparent to my nose through the whole wear, which unfortunately doesn’t last that long but I don’t mind re applying. But the dulce de leche, orange blossom & coffee together makes my f’n mouth water 😂 Private show 4 ever pls and how dare it be discontinued?
