Kylie Minogue Parfums Inverse is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2009, created by Rodrigo Flores-Roux. Inverse opens with Mandarin, Lavender, Pepper, and Cardamom, settles into a heart of Heliotrope, Nutmeg, and Tonka Bean, and dries down to a base of Virginia Cedarwood, Amber, Patchouli, and Labdanum. Kylie Minogue Parfums's Inverse carries an Acquired verdict, a sweet-led wear.

Inverse is a spicy, warm masculine with a big pile of spices up front and an amber base. It is bold and cosy rather than fresh, and a good pick for colder weather.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

Inverse Eau de Toilette opens with a crowd of spices: cinnamon, star anise, pepper, cardamom and coriander, with lavender and mandarin to keep the top bright. The heart of tonka bean, heliotrope and nutmeg adds a sweet, creamy warmth. The base is amber, patchouli, labdanum and Virginia cedarwood, which is resinous, earthy and dry. It is a warm spicy scent with plenty of presence and a cosy finish.
