Britney included her love of Frappuccino in Private Show. She never explicitly said this, but let’s read between the lines here. “Whipped cream coffee” is fairly obvious. And it’s absolutely perfect: this is peak Britney. Her body, skin, and hair have never looked better. It feels like she’s back to being the woman we fell in love with almost 20 years ago, and she’s doing things on her own terms – including using “whipped cream coffee” as the top note in her fragrance.
Britney’s fragrances have never been powdery, like many female-focused perfumes, which I appreciate. But they have been on the sweeter side. Private Show isn’t as sweet-smelling as Fantasy; it’s more of a musky scent, although the midnote of dulce de leche and final note of amber helps to keep it feminine and sexy. However, it is a perfume. At the Private Show party in Las Vegas, I initially smelled the perfume on spritzed ribbons, which I thought lent itself to a more unisex fragrance. However, after getting spritzed with it before meeting Britney at the show, I don’t see men gravitating towards wearing this fragrance, unfortunately. Perhaps her next launch will be a unisex offering?
Many of Britney’s bottles are brightly colored and look super modern. This bottle, however, is precious. It looks like a perfume you would see on the vanity in an old Hollywood film. The bottle, aesthetically, looks more mature than her other fragrances, and it smells that way, too.
