My coworker sprayed this in the nurses station yesterday and everyone went wild! It smelled so beautiful. It gives me a hint of medicinal which I absolutely love. I’m absolutely buying at a bottle!
I love it!!!! It's amazing but it does not last!! I keep having to spray it!! Please please give it some staying power.. thanks
This is flowery niceness in a bottle, just like Kylie looks: ageless, tiny, pretty, pleasant. It's one of the timeless happy ones that doesn't offend anybody. I have to add that the most enjoyable part for me was the succulent passionfruit scent in the opening. It was nice for one summer but I would not go for a second helping.
Patience is needed with this perfume (this goes for other perfumes). The opening was powerful and woody at first and slowly moved unto a sweet but mildly fruity floral scent. The sweet floral scent lingers for a good amount of time and elegantly moves onto the floral notes. The floral notes slowly dissolve into the a form of floral wood notes. The end note is still floral woody with a teaspoon of sweetness, a gentle sweetness. This is a wonderful perfume for all ages and will suite an elegant or casual occasion. I wore this perfume to a late night Lido show in Paris, I got a lot of compliments ;)
Knowing that the perfume was created by Thierry Wasser of Firmenich ( responsable with Calvin Klein Truth and Christian Dior Addict) a decided to buy Kylie Minogue's Darling. The first impression, when I sprayed this perfume on my skin was of a tropical fruity blend with green floral notes. After a while it starts to open, revealing an oriental twist in a form of a amber- woody scent. I expected Darling to be much stronger and aromatic, knowing that is a chypre. A chypre needs to have 5 facets: citrus, floral, woody, mossy, amber and/or musk. Darling is sweet and pretty, but I think that it does not represent me, not Kylie. Certainly not my signature perfume. If you didn't know Darling is used to scent Kylie Minogue’s figure at Madame Tussaud's wax museum in London.
