radar.

So for some odd reason after hearing her name mentioned in media two times in the last week I thought I'd check and see if she has any scents.

What a surprise

she does. At least one for men.

My question is for those of you not in American, is her cologne for men mentioned or worn regularly in public? Does she have a good track record for putting out good scents or is it mediocre?

Thanks

Kylie is an Aussie. I live in Australia.
And her scents line the shelves of chemists and Kmart.

I've got two 50ml bottles of her Inverse for Men. I like it - an extremely pleasant oriental, good longevity but not much sillage.
Mystifyingly, numerous reviews in the Directory claim it smells feminine. But while not overly masculine to my nose, it in no way reminds me of the feminine scents I typically gag over.
Cheers,
Renato

P.S. When I edit this post I see one instance of the word "longevity" above. But after posting it I see "longevity longevity". I wonder why that is?

I think they are really cheap to buy and lower profile than other celebrity scents, even though she is a huge star. I've never heard them mentioned and mainly see them discounted at the back of the store. I inferred they were not very good from that!
