Darling

In my opinion, this is a hugely underrated fragrance by the wonderful Thierry Wasser and Ms. Minogue. Yes, it goes on sweetly synthetic, but nothing as bad as others may make it seem. The true beauty of the perfume is the way it wears and it’s progression. The quality and the mastery of its creator makes itself apparent in this regard. As some have noted previously, the middle is where this one starts to shine (largely due to the freesia giving away to lily and then boronia mixed with a light vanilla) and then ends in a gorgeous base that is absolutely delightful and lasts for many, MANY hours. I indeed hold this fragrance in very high regard. This is one that I think many wrote of for being a “celebrity scent,” and that is really a travesty as it is so much more than that. Any fan of Thierry Wasser should check this one out - make notes and study. Overall: 4 stars (minus one ONLY for the overly sweet top).

This for me screams 90s and I love it!!!! I have such a soft spot for Darling, the first blast reminds of Nina Ricci's discontinued gem Deci Dela which holds some special memories for me. Not your run of the mill celeb fragrance and not even what I would imagine Kylie to wear? An impressive silage and longevity, and a great price also! I can certainly see why this is a love/hate scent for some as it can smell a little sour until it settles but with it reminding me so much of Deci Dela (with a hint of Gucci Rush) its a LOVE for me. Best in the colder months day or night. It's a shame Sweet Darling is a gonner I loved that too! The bottle is pretty and reflects the scent well, not too girly, not too young but for me the blocky masculine lid is a little random and is the only thing I can pick fault with.

Darling bomb shelled me with a powerful woody/oud scent that left me feeling bewildered. After 5 minutes the scent settles down to a mildly woody/floral sweet scent. A scent of hidden alien fruits teases my nose, interesting. I have never tasted nor smelled passion fruit or litchi, so this is a surprise for me. It reminds me of a warm humid afternoon where a young girl is getting ready for the nightlife at the beach in the East to meet her friends or a boy she just met. The scent is floral, woody and mildly powdery leaving one feel mature at first impression, yet young with charm. This perfume is unique and I am surprised that it brought many "darling" compliments. ^_^

I have kylie minogue darling 2006 the very original and also its discontinued and I get her original 2006 darling from ebay and even I get the original 2006 darlings from ebay even there been discontinued but the perfume still smells so good and it doesn't last long because it's an eau de toilette but I'm happy and don't mind re applying and the original bottles are worth keeping when there empty because the original 2006 bottle is so pretty and when I run out again I will definitely buy more original darling 2006 perfumes from ebay and there expensive but I can afford it because I get paid really good

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 ;)
