In 2011, Dazzling Darling was released, responding back to the Darling range. Minogue stated that out of all her fragrance, she is comparing Dazzling Darling to herself, saying its "beautifully feminine and alluring" and that its "very soft and intimate."[12]
In 2012, she released Music Box, which was a celebration fragrance as part of K25, an anniversary of her music career spanning for twenty-five years.[3] The perfume was described as a "refined and sophisticated" fragrance. She was inspired by her fascination of music boxes when she was younger.[3]
