Darling 2021

I bought Darling 2021 a few days ago. The scent is warm, very pleasant with prominent notes of passionfruit, vanilla and sandalwood. The sweetness level is so perfect that it can be worn pretty much in any setting. I am very happy the flower notes are in the background. The scent is strong enough for someone sitting next to you to enjoy it, but it won't go any further. There are some differences about Darling 2021: different design, different perfumer, which, in my opinion, makes it a slightly different perfume. The old version was described as chypre floral, while the new one is an amber vanilla fragrance. This difference is noticeable because this is not how I remember Darling smelling 15 years ago. At first I couldn't put my finger on it, but that's because the new version doesn't have any chypre in it, therefore, it is softer and can be a crowd pleasing perfume. When the old version was released, I was 21 and found it to be a pretty mature and sharp fragrance,therefore,I never bought it. I am going to enjoy Darling 2021, though, I bought it for nostalgia nostalgia's sake, but I was pleasantly surprised to find it being more wearable than the original. I may buy another 75ml bottle (I paid 29 Euros for it). I don't know where the old version was made, but this one is made in Poland, not in France, for example, and it kind of shows. The cap is very tight, so when I finally took it off, it lifted up the gold sprayer and the fragrance started leaking. I hope others won't have this issue cause it's annoying. Overall, I really like it. Get one for yourself and your friend for Christmas :)

Darling means so much to me. I am such a major Kylie fan it’s ridiculous! I remember when the original Darling was released and when I heard that she was re-releasing it, I knew I had to get my hands on a bottle! This is warm and spicy, unlike the original Darling released in 2006! It is absolutely stunning, and isn’t as sharp or fruity as the original was famously known to be. Amber Wood, Vanilla and Sandalwood are most prominent and the fruity notes of the Passion Fruit start to come through after a while. It’s a very warm scent, and the Lily, Freesia and Boronia start to come through just as it’s settling down. It’s smooth, warm, spicy and the base notes shine through spectacularly while complementing the fruits and the floral heart. This is just divine and I’m so happy that Darling is back after all this time.

I saw a 30ml bottle for $10, and I like Kylie Minogue so it was a no-brainer. I didn't try the original, but honestly this is really nice. Tart fruit, vanilla, amberwood & sandalwood with a hint of something vaugly floral. Not too loud, not too soft off skin. Groundbreaking? No. But it's still a great scent, especially for the price. Despite not containing patchouli, I agree that this definitely evoke the same vibes as Mugler Angel albeit more light & fruity here. I love Angel, so this is definitely a nice option for when that one is a bit too 'heavy'. That being said, I personally wouldn't call this a dupe. General vibes aside, this doesn't have any of Angel's gourmand elements, trading them for tart fruitiness.

I really love this new version of the re relese of the kylie minogue darling 2021 perfume it smells so good and it's a eau de parfum and I also have the original darling 2006 but it's discontinued but I get her original darling 2006 from ebay and it's a eau de toilette but I been wearing both and they smell so different but there both beautiful the 2006 and the 2021 there both nice so darling 2006 is so fruity and flirty and light and young it's the younger sister and darling 2021 is fruity but nice and very strong and its more mature and its the older sister but I love both darlings 2006 and 2021

I really like this, almost love. The idea it gives me is that it's a women's aftershave cologne, in the best way like how a man's aftershave lotion can become warm and comforting. Not too creamy with just a touch musky/woody, Wonderful for the price, and the juice is a pretty pinkish amber and the bottle looks like angel wings. Can be worn anytime, when you want a laid back vibe. Almost signature worthy for me but it doesn't make enough of a statement and a little too gentle. After reading the other reviews I'm going to layer it with one spritz of Angle, see what happens. 8.5/10
