Kylie Minogue has 'told a story' with each of her fragrances
Kylie Minogue has "told a story" with each of her fragrances.
The 57-year-old pop icon launched her first perfume Darling in 2006, and almost 20 years later, she has explained that her latest offerings - a duo named Lovers Fleur and Lovers Noir as a nod to her hit single All The Lovers and indeed the name for her fanbase - correlate with her music and life at present.
She told Britain's Hello! Magazine: "Each fragrance has told a story. To me, both fragrances are confident, with a warmth and hedonism to them. I feel like that is like a lot of my music of late, and I love diving into these tunes and feelings and sharing those with audiences. I feel they are very in tune with my life right now."
The Spinning Around legend has collaborated with master perfumer Ilias Ermenidis over the years to design her fragrances, and explained that he has helped her with the "narrative" of her latest venture as well.
She said: "Over the years, he has come to know me and the scents that I absolutely adore, and he has distilled that into the Lovers narrative with a masterful touch."
Meanwhile, Kylie - who was famously diagnosed with breast cancer in 2005 but was declared cancer-free the following year - recalled growing up in her native Australia where she was "all about maxing out that tan" but now "prioritises" the protection of her skin in the hot weather.
She said: "When I was a kid growing up in Australia, sun protection was just becoming something we were paying attention to. "Through some of my teenage years, I have to confess, I detoured around that and was all about maxing out that tan. But into my 20s, I became very sun-aware and now do my best to make sun protection a priority."
When it comes to achieving her smooth complexion, the Padam Padam songstress has three things in her beauty routine.
She said: "Three things that can usually get me out of a tight fix start with a colour lipstick or creme blush that can go anywhere I want for a little flush of colour on my face.
"[Moisturiser] can be patted on the points that I thnk could use a little sheen, like cheekbones, and can be lightly applied to hair to de-frizz."

Nicole Scherzinger hails Thom Evans as 'the best'
Thom Evans has been "a rock" for Nicole Scherzinger. The 40-year-old former sports star was by Nicole's side throughout her run in Sunset Blvd, the hit musical, in London and New York, and Nicole has revealed that she really appreciates having his support. Nicole, 46 - who plays Norma Desmond in the musical - told People: "It's really important to have a partner who supports you and believes in you, like I said in my [Tony Awards acceptance] speech, when you sometimes forget to believe in yourself. "And he's been such a constant and a rock for me during this time, and he just really, he really gets me, my fiance. He's gotten me from day one." Nicole feels that Thom really "understands" how she approaches her work. The actress - who has been engaged to Thom since 2023 - shared: "I'm a bit of a perfectionist. I'm an extremely hard worker. Nothing's ever enough. And he understands that about me, and he supports me in every way that I need to be supported. And he just gets me." Nicole loves that Thom is so respectful and understanding of her needs. The former Pussycat Dolls star said: "He's just the best. "He'll go. He'll be like, 'I'm going to go to London, give you your space', but then he came back right in time to just be there for me and to hold my hand. He's the best." Despite this, Nicole recently revealed that she's currently too busy to get married. Asked about her wedding plans, she told Britain's HELLO! magazine: "Oh, there's no wedding planning, honey. When you do Broadway, it's only Broadway. You eat, sleep – you don't sleep much – and breathe Broadway. "Thank God I have a very understanding and wonderful and the most supportive fiance." What's more, Nicole will be looking for another stage show after she leaves Sunset Blvd. She said: "I still want to do more. This moment has made me dream again. "Growing up as a Filipino girl, I always loved Miss Saigon. I would love to be a part of that show. Aurora in Kiss of the Spider Woman is another dream role. Another is to maybe create my own musical."

A pop-rock lightning rod returns, as polarising as ever
Yungblud, Idols Ever since he exploded onto the scene with his 2018 breakout hit, I Love You, Will You Marry Me, Yungblud has been a lightning rod. An outspoken, gender-bending, genre-hopping pop-punk emo from the English suburbs, Yungblud – real name Dominic Harrison – is a magnet for curiosity and controversy. He's been accused of queerbaiting and fetishising the working class. He has been both celebrated and chastised for his political activism, affronting sincerity, and chameleonic approach to music and fashion. Depending on who you ask, he's a trailblazer or a poser, inauthentic or unapologetically himself. His music runs the gamut – he bounces like a pinball, pinging off David Bowie into Billy Idol, hitting Blink-182 and Machine Gun Kelly, grazing Robert Smith and Harry Styles. He's less an enigma than a graffiti wall, painted over until it becomes something messier and grungier but unmistakably fun and oddly beautiful. The 27-year-old's newest album sees Yungblud embracing his contradictions, whirling through the chaos in search of meaning, and emerging with a carpe diem-style optimism. It's ambitious, diverse and sprawling. But like a restaurant with too many items on the menu, you never quite know what you're going to get. The album opener is Yungblud's most impressive artistic achievement yet. Hello Heaven, Hello is a nine-minute statement of intent, and unlike Green Day's Jesus of Suburbia (which is effectively five mini-songs sewn together), it feels like a complete product from start to finish. It moves seamlessly from early-2000s pop-punk to '80s arena rock, and then shifts down into '90s Britpop. And, somehow, it absolutely works. From there, the album is almost Tarantino-esque, a technicolour pastiche. Yungblud wears his influences on his sleeve, for better and worse.
