VIP Private Show

Tried this when it first came out and liked the unique floral powdery character it has, it smells like it would be a Very Hollywood type of perfume (as in very floral), but then the fruity notes with the violet add an unexpected twist to it and so this is very unique imo. The opening is so fruity and bright, very red apple, loaded with the blood orange. I absolutely disagree that it is like Sunset Fantasy, the orange blossom and raspberry arent enough to bear any resemblance, at least to my nose, on paper and skin. Sunset Fantasy is heavy sweet with the peach I find in Forever Red BBW and the orange blossom giving the sickly sweet element I find in Playboy VIP. So totally different story. Private Show VIP opens up fruity like I said, and turns a bit plastic on me after 5 minutes and weird as if there is something off-key here, possibly the violet doesnt get along well with the magnolia and the amber on my skin. The reason I had rejected it even tho I had liked it. Im a lover of violet even though it doesnt always behave on my skin, but I love it in all its weirdness. The notes that translate abit off and deep on my skin are what gives this perfume its unique character. Once I get used to that, I am so in love with it. Time passes by and when I dont stick my nose on my arm that weird off-key element isnt as prominent and the sillage is a beautiful powdery, milky, violet-dominant musky scent with hints of the bright red apple, amber and the orange blossom. When I smell my arm up close I get the sourness of the raspberry, then the cool "plastic" scent I keep talking about: magnolia, violet and the musky amber. So that weird off-key element turns to an advantage rather than a drawback, it makes this perfume unique and beautiful. What remains on me is that magnolia violet muskiness. Cant stop wearing this perfume, I regret not buying it earlier. Id consider it more in the family of Love Me by Victoria's secret, the weird, unique and beautiful ambery white floral scent and possibly Buckle Number 2 with its dreamy violet/amber and apricot nectar. No resemblance to them, just similar unique family. __________________________________________________ Back to Sunset Fantasy which Ive owned for years and loved since day one (while VIP Private Show I rejected back then due to the violet 'plastic' weird element). Sunset Fantasy is closer to perfumes like Prada Candy Gloss, as far as the vibe and the genre it belongs to, radiating that zesty overly sweet fruityness, with peach and orange blossom as common notes. Also same family as Beyond Romance RL, with their mandarin and raspberry syrupy sweetness. With Sunset Fantasy I get mainly the orange blossom I find in Playboy VIP and Playboy VIP makes me nauseous (berries, heliotrope, cashmere wood combo), Sunset Fantasy not at all. So perhaps that orange blossom makes people relate this to Sunset Fantasy but overall VIP Private Show takes a different direction.

I think that this is more fruity than the original Private Show; so from the initial application onwards it is highly freshly-sweet, rather than a heavier more gourmand sweetness of the original. This more sweet citrus lead twist to the line, does give the fragrance a lasting sense of energizing 'glow'. The main floral notes in this fragrance - violet, magnolia & orange blossom - happen to be my three favourite floral scent notes, so this fragrance never fails to cheer me up a bit, any time of the year. The florals are pretty mild & powdered, but the main individual scent notes are still noticeable, particularly the magnolia. The coffee & cream notes are absent from the fragrance, however there is a hint of something nutty in the undertone of the fragrance like there also is in Private Show. The amber, musk and creamy sandalwood blend adds that warmth of the original Private Show, that develops quickly and deepens over the next few hours. The slight hint of raspberry adds a fresh touch of sweetness, although I must admit that I can't always detect it as the note is so light. V.I.P. Private Show is a few years old now, but is still fairly new to me since it never seemed to receive a steady run in UK stores - it is easy to find 30ml & 50ml bottles online for low prices, and also comes into outlet stores from time to time. I've quickly come to enjoy this fragrance, to the point of where I think that this is actually nicer than the original Private Show fragrance, and think that it also wears longer than the original [about 7/8 hours]. I've even just ordered two back-up bottles, since my favourite releases from this brand have an annoying habit of suddenly vanishing.

I personally think this is better than Fantasy, which is one of her best sellers. I blind bought it, mostly because of the good things I've heard about it. I was hesitating because usually I don't like celebrity perfumes, I find most of them simple and not impressive. But this one, ohh man...brought me sooo many compliments...everybody wanted to know what I was wearing... I learned to love this fragrance little by little until I finally admitted it is very good, long wearing, quite unique and very underrated. One of the best fruity scents I own (I get mostly mango, grapefruit and red apple), with the proper amount of flowers, mostly violet and jasmine. I also get a hint of mint lingering close to the skin, next to warm very genuine amber scent. She did a great job with this fragrance! It is very sexy, sparkly and fun, like glitter on a gold body shaped dress...

VIP Private Show is definitely one of my favourites from Britney's range! It is a beautiful fruity/floral with candy sweetness. I can really detect the raspberry, mango & apple then the violet & magnolia come through. The amber gives it some warmth & the musk is soft & powdery. Very different from Private Show, which was creamy coffee & caramel. This one is sweet but not over the top. The notes blend beautifully together. Lasts around 7-8 hours on my skin & has excellent silage. Like a delicious & sweet fruity candy. Very girly & flirty. Overall, I absolutely adore this perfume. I'm so impressed with every fragrance Britney has released. Perfect scent for chill days, lunch dates & going shopping. I highly recommend to fans of sweet perfumes or have enjoyed Britney's previous range! I absolutely will be purchasing a 100ml bottle.

This is so delightful! I got a sample of this perfume, and I am so pleasantly surprised by how amazing it is! In my opinion, this fragrance smells like freshly-cleaned laundry with a tropical, fruity twist. I do not see this as being an offensive perfume to any nose; it is perfectly fresh, not cloying, and has just the right amount of sweetness. I also really like this as a post-shower fragrance: it's perfect for creating a clean, sweet aura that lingers as a cozy skin scent after long that initial fruit-juicy spritz. The longevity on this was particularly impressive to me; 5 hours later, it only just starts to fade into a skin scent! I can definitely see myself buying the full-size bottle sometime in the near future. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a fruity-fresh fragrance; you won't regret it!

Perfect spin on "Private Show", and a total unique fragrance for her gallery. VIP is nothing like the original other than a hint of a woodsy-musk tone that can translate as a sweet cocoa smell due to the over powering sweet fruits. This is a blast of apple, peach, pear, and berries. With that woodsey base holding it together to almost give a gourmound taste and scent. The bottle is cute, with the glittery top, and keeping up the hexagon-diamond shape bottle I love. I feel this will smother you a bit if you live in a climate with humidity but it will have large area siliage. Expect compliments. Wears heavy on my skin, not yet sure about clothing fabric. Next to her last release "In Bloom Fantasy" this is a 10/10 just like that was. Honestly unique, stand out, and 100% different then "Private Show"

This is up there as one of my favorite celebrity fragrances of all time. I do have a soft spot for most of her fragrances because I have never experienced one with bad quality. This is beautifully done, very easy going, but smells expensive. The mango in here is stunning and then you get the raspberry and apple with some amber and musk. Following that some florals come in and woody notes to ground it. This is not overly sweet but it is sweet from the fruits. This has very good performance at a solid 8-9 hours and the projection is great. I’ve always had great luck with Britney and performance. This is discontinued or it’s very hard to find so if you manage to do so, grab it! Worth every penny! Easy blind buy and could work for anything you’d like.

Great perfume for partying, enjoying little things in life and celebrating something! I can wear it when I’m in a good mood, it’s sunny outside, and I’m planning to attend some event or a meeting that would bring me fun moments. This is a nice sweet/fruity fragrance, very feminine and joyful. The sweet mellow juicy fruits are very prominent here, they are accompanied by soft amber and some shy florals hidden in the background. It lasts up to 5 hours and projects well. Reminds me of So Fever Together by Oriflame, it’s within the same mood with this fragrance. Pairing it with BBW “bubbly rosé” smells perfect too.

Just to let my UK friends know, this is out at Boots for £23 for a 30ml bottle. I maaay or may not have just purchased it. Whoops. ;) Edit: 26/07/2017 Okay, so I'm in love. This is summer in a bottle! Warm mango, delicious red apple and soft musk make this a truly delicious perfume. It's a wrist-sniffer for sure. It's like a tropical cocktail. I've let this sit, and I get vanilla after a couple hours... It isn't listed in the notes, but it's definitely a warming scent. I think I have a new favourite Britney scent!

First off, this and the original Private Show are completely different to one another. PS was a coffee cake drenched in clementines, whereas VIP PS is a tropical drink/cocktail. VIP Private Show is as lovely as its predecessor, when Britney does a tropical fragrance, she does a awesome one! While I pick out the raspberry and red apple, it's that mango that really stands out and has been given a starring role in this perfume. Later on, I smell a violet and some magnolia, so it does have floral tones to it.

Whereas the original Private Show—with its scrumptious, dulce de leche-drizzled, milky frappuccino profile—felt specifically tailored for colder months spent adjacent to fireplaces and underneath cozy sweaters, its VIP flanker is ideal for warmth and dazzling sunshine. Juicy mango dripping over succulent blood orange, crisp red apple, and tender raspberry on a soft bed of amber florals: a lively, mouth-watering fruit cocktail meant to accompany one through cloudless summer days and starry, humid nights.

Hello again Britney :) this is such a beautiful scent. I think she has the best ,,celebrity perfumes". But this one is very different from the ,,Fantasy or Curious line ". It is sweet but not heavy, fruity but not sour. And the fruit is not synthetic, at all. Like other raspberry fragrances(for example). My bf said ,,Baby U smell amazing, it reminds me of bubblegum". Yes he is right, but that doesn't mean I smell like a teenager :) I personally love this scent. And the bottle is beautiful too.

I bought a sample of VIP Private Show on clearance from Fragrancenet and I am so impressed. This fragrance is gorgeous! It's subtle, definitely, but delicious. Well-blended fruit with mango at the forefront, but not your typical mango. The supporting notes really compliment the mango. I am a bit obsessed with trying all of Britney Spears's fragrances now. I would absolutely pick up a bottle of this for around $20 for 100 ml at a discount store. It's very yummy and pretty.

I think I love this more than the original Private Show! This really is summer in a bottle. Fresh, fruity, not over bearing in the slightest. It’s nothing new, but that doesn’t stop it from being a worthwhile release. Longevity isn’t great unfortunately, Max one hour I’d say? Still, the 50ml bottle only cost me £12 on sale so I won’t complain about going through it quickly! Overall a 7.5 / 10. Looking forward to wearing it on a hot summer day.

I'm just so in love with this. Been to boots today and discover this. I must say.. i didnt fully recover from flu yet, so to make sure.. i smell other perfume that i have(tester) just to make sure. Vip private show is like a burst of fruits to me at the start then after few hours it turns powedery musky(still sniffing..cant stop),honestly i like it better than the original private show because not a fan of coffee. It's a must have for me.

I LOVE this! Why???? I almost NEVER like fruity florals because I usually dislike the patchouli base they so often rest on these days. There is no patchouli in here, just sweet warm tropical fruits. The blood orange and mango are velvety, not fresh as orange can sometimes be. I'm so glad I decided to go for the full bottle based on my little sample from fragrancenet. Longevity is a little short, but at this price point, I'll forgive it.

Trying a tester of VIP Private Show today. Very nice, sweet scent. It is a warm, fruity, cosy fragrance. I like the way the amber mixes with the fruits and the violet. Its not tropical at all to my nose. This is great for late summer/early fall, and I can see it being a nice fragrance in the winter, when I am missing summer. I would buy a bottle of this if I saw it at the Discount Shops! Update: I bought a bottle and it smells so good!

'' VIP Private Show'' is an incredible fragrance!!!! I just love it!! It is definitely one of my favorites by Britney Spears. It's a powdery beautifull scent. I can smell the violet, the raspberry and the woody notes. It's such a classy and elegant scent and smells amazing!!! Longevity is AMAZING on me as well !!!!! It's a little bit similar to ''Sunset Fantasy'' but that one is more creamy, and a lot sweeter.

Love this, but does anyone else think this smells like Paris Hiltons's Can Can Burlesque? Smelled the tester at my local perfume shop while out today and thought it smelled like something I owned but couldn't place it. Got home smelled through my collection and to me it's a dead ringer for Can Can Burlesque. Will still be buying because I love Britney Spears perfume and it might smell different on my skin.

This is really good, it's a nice sweet, the amber is great in this, some of the best amber I have ever smelled, very golden, and velvet, it's just perfect. For some reason the way the amber, and other notes mix reminds me of honey. I see this as a day, and night perfume, easily a signature perfume all year long. This is still for a younger crowd. I wish she would make another perfume like Believe again.
