In 2006, Minogue signed her first perfume endorsement deal with Coty. She launched her first fragrance Darling in November 2006.[2] According to Thierry Wasser, she said she wanted to combine "strength and movement in order to reflect the intensity of my encounter with Kylie through this fragrance."[4] With its design described as "glamorous, dynamic and heavy", it received generally favourable reviews from buyers.[5] She launched the fragrance in Melbourne and Sydney and later released an EP titled Darling, a promotional release that came with the fragrance for free.[6] In 2007, Sweet Darling and Sexy Darling were released.

In 2008, her fourth fragrance with Coty, Showtime was released. According to Minogue, she wanted a perfume that "could be a mirror of her personality" and described as her "second skin."[7] In 2009, the fifth fragrance, Couture was released.[8] According to Minogue, the name "Couture" was inspired by fashion.[9] In 2009, her sixth fragrance Inverse For Men was released.[10] It was Minogue's debut men's fragrance. The packaging is described as "glossy" and "sparkly", and both packaging is the same for each gender.[10] Minogue's seventh fragrance, Pink Sparkle was released in 2010.[11] According to Minogue, she wanted an "elegant, feel-good that takes you to a wonderful place of optimism and vitality."[11] The bottle is designed as a champagne bottle, which the bottle top is designed as a corkscrew. 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]
