Showgirl

This will be my oddest review; every word is true. I bought three (3) 10ml travel size ~> 40% because of the name *Showgirl* + 30% because my niece Michelle (Micci) is a Swiftie (Taylor Swift fan) + 30% because of the notes: Mandarin Orange, Pink Pepper, Bergamot, Jasmine Sambac, Lavender, Cardamom, Musk, Australian Sandalwood and Amber. Sounds good to me. I kept one vial for myself ~> I like it very much. It's very nice. It's warm....velvety; perhaps more flannel than velvet. It leans feminine....which is fine. I like feminine-leaning perfumes; if I want to toughen-it-up, I add a schpritz of an oud and go on my merry way. ================= I gave one vial to Micci ~> Her comment: "Ooooh! Wow! is this Taylor's new perfume!?!?!? Oh my God.... (((spray spray spray spray))) ooooh....(((spray spray spray))) it's gorgeous! Thank you thank you thank you!!!!" [Side Note: I neither confirmed nor denied it's a Taylor Swift perfume.] ================= I gave one vial to Micci's mother ~> Her comment: "Showgirl?!? Sounds sexy! (((spray spray spray spray))) Oooooh..... oooooh.....this is Narciso Rodriguez. I LOVE it. (((spray spray spray))) Oh...this is Narciso....this is Narciso Rodriguez. (((spray spray spray))) I love it. Thank you!" [Side Note 1: I have no idea what Narciso Rodriguez perfume Micci's mom thinks *Showgirl* smells like.] [Side Note 2: My God....these women SPRAY A LOT of perfume.] Final Tally: Three out of three of us like it alot! *Showgirl* is a rousing success!

My bottle is almost empty, which says everything. I’ve never purchased a Burberry Goddess. I’ve smelled plenty over the years, but it never drew me in enough to buy a bottle. So not sure how it compares. But.... Showgirl creates a beautifully enveloping fragrance bubble that seems to draw others toward you. It’s elegant, magnetic, and warm with its bright citrus opening, floral-aromatic heart, and warm amber-musky sandalwood base. Of all the fragrances I own from this house, this is the first one I’ve come close to finishing and the first I’d happily refill. And it layers beautifully with Stellar Times, creating an even more radiant and enveloping scent trail. Showgirl is a showstopper.

I've been hearing/seeing lots of hype about this brand and its new "ode to Harlem Renaissance" collection. I ordered the discovery kit which contains six fragrances all with names associated with that era. I tried Showgirl first. Very nice! Warm, slightly sweet, lightly musky and gently powdery. There's an elusive note deep within that my nose keeps trying to identify. Hmm... Sillage is about arm's length and projection is soft (from one spray.) This one's a keeper, for me. I'll update on longevity once I give her a good day's wear.

Just FYI this smells great but if you have Burberry Goddess you may not need this! It’s smells great but very similar! On me the lavender comes out more than in Goddess. The longevity is a bit stronger and longer than Goddess, Goddess disappears on me after an hour and I have the intense! I do want to try the others from this house.

I love it! This one is an elegant, elevated fragrance. I'd consider this perfume a cousin to Burberry Goddess. Very similar fragrance profile. It smells rich and mature (but in a good way!) This one can be worn all year round which I love. Bergamot, Lavender, Cardamom, and Sandalwood stick out to me on this one.
