Sexy Darling

Sexy Darling by Kylie Minogue is so very similar to Burberry Brit, they could be sisters in my opinion. It is a strong and lovely woody musk. In my initial spray I could detect soft fruit notes, but more of the rose, jasmine, musk and sandalwood. The pear/sandlewood/jasmine combination give it a dry woody slightly sweet feeling, but more dry woods than sweetness. A perfect fragrace for evenings or romantic interludes. Very sensual and exotic. I found it to be very strong, so you don't need to apply much. It also has excellent sillage. Lasting power on me was about 8 hours. I believe this is suitable for any age group, any event, but perhaps more so for evenings. The bottle design and colour is lovely and classy to me, simple yet classy. Floral and woody, a very relaxing scent, inviting you to come closer....I found it to be very sexy. I Love it!

UPDATE: Ok i just don't get why people dislike this scent , today i bought a new 50 ml bottle of it and its AMAZING , all the notes make it such a warm , slight spicy , dark fruity scent , sexy . Its a perfect blend , its not overpowering sweet like britney spears its a more delicate and mature . The pear and the blood orange mixed with musk and sandalwood makes it a very mysterious scent I loveee it and recommend it to everybody :)) This really is a sister scent to By night by Christina and Hypnotic Poison by Dior (only more simple but still good ). I like the box but the bottle seems a bit stupid for such a great scent , i dont like all the darling bottles , but for such a price they cant make it more luxurious .

As the name suggests, this is a truly sexy fragrance! Sweet fruits, sensual woody notes and delicate florals melange in an alluring and seductive fragrance. There's not a hint of vulgarity or poor taste either! It's just pure seduction, pure femininity. I'm going halfway through my fourth bottle of this and I'm totally enjoying it! Lasting power and sillage are both good.

i really like sexy darling, in my opinion its kylies best fragrance. im really suprised that there is no orange notes in this one because to me it smells alot like blood orange. to me it smells like blood orange and vanilla. kind of like armani code without the sexyness of the muskyness and spicey notes to my nose.. really nice

its amzing , at first i feel like the pear and the rose blend together very good and after while comes the musky sensual seductive scent. i love it it reminds me of in control by britney , by night by christina aguilera.

One of my favorites ever! And actually the only perfume that I used up ..I usually get bored with a perfume after a while, but never with this one ..it's strange cos I don't really like Kylie :D I need to buy this again!

i love this sweet woody musk smell, I mix mine with the Body Shop's Amorito, and the vanilla and double chocolate in that make this fragrance to die for. This also reminds me a bit of Gloria by Cacharel.

Fruity and sexy, one of the best ones among Kylie Darling fragrances. For mature women because it would be too seductive for young people. But, too bad, it does not last.

This is one of my favourite perfumes ever. This is my favourite of Kylie's fragrances. For some reason, this perfumes reminds me of cherry coke

It has a very sexy andchic scent to it, it really does make you want to be a sext darling xoxo :D

Does anyone have a back up to switch ? I have a bottle of loverdose red kiss to swap

My mother owned this years ago. It smells lovely (but that's just my opinion).

Very pretty and bright... much younger and fresher than the original Darling.

Consider of buying this one and I found information on the notes: Top: Pink pepper, Pear, Blood Orange Middle:Red rose, Belle de Nuit, Jasmine Base:Heliotrope, Sandalwood, Musk So I bought this unsniffed online for less than a 10 pounds. I have wanted to do that some time now, but there was always something else... I can definately smell the pear. Sweet and juicy. Otherwise the beginning is somehow a bit annoying, maybe it is the pepper? But after a while (not long), the scent gets softer. I sprayed once on my wrist and have definately difficulties smelling anything at all after an hour. Then 2-3 times to the other wrist and almost the same efect. I think the scent is very soft and close to the skin. Very pleasant though. Lightly fruity and sweet with pear and then soft musk with something warm and vanillic. Update: I wear this again after some time and wow! This really is similar to Dior Addict! I did not notice that before, but this is (at least early middle notes)just a lighter version of Addict... I think "Belle de nuit" in this one and "Night blooming cereus" in Addict are the same flower? And it is creating the same sweet and thick feel to both of these scents.

Oh my! Now that I've found this I really wish that I had tried it before buying Burberry Brit. Darling has the perfect blend of fruit, wood and musk that I was looking for. It is also fruitier( smells like red fruits to me---yummy), sweeter and overall has a more well blended composition. As others have already mentioned the drydown does remind you of Brit but I get a lot more vanilla. Also find Brit to be a little masculine whereas Darling is feminine and sexy IMHO. ;'D Lasting power is pretty good and the sillage is nice. So, if you like Brit but think it is too expensive or a little too citric and/or masculine for your tastes then this would be a good choice. You can get the full sized tester bottle for an incredibly low price on ebay! ;') Oh my, this has replaced Brit in my collection and is officially my signature fragrance. I can pull this off day or night but it is in the evening that I truly feel like a "Sexy Darling"! ;') Just wanted to add that I am glad this scent isn't stronger or more intense. If it were the I would probably grow sick of it and my love wouldn't be the same. Sometimes a scent needs to be just what it is. :)

I really like Sexy Darling. It's a warm, creamy, slightly fruity and sexy perfume, so the name is perfect for it! Marki-san is right when he says it starts out being a bit 'dirty sensual' and then turns sweeter. To me, Sexy Darling reminds me a little bit of 212 Sexy, which I love, even though in some ways they're dissimilar, but they're both definitely warm, girly and very sexy! Sexy Darling is also quite long lasting and it isn't over-priced so it's a great buy. 5 out of 5 stars from me!! :-) UPDATE:- Oh, I've gone off Sexy Darling a bit now, for some reason, and don't wear it much! I find it slightly cloying now and although there is a bit of a similarity to 212 Sexy, 212 Sexy is much better (more expensive though, unfortunately!). Also, the more I see the Sexy Darling bottle the more cheap I think it looks (not that looks are everything, of course!). I think the cap is tacky looking and would look better if it wasn't cheap black plastic!! Because I've gone of this perfume a bit now I'd give it 3 out of 5. It's nice but I'm not 100% loving it at the moment!!

Really IS a Sexy Darling. Not a vamp lady or femme fatale. It's the first celebtrity scent in my collection and a successful blind buy. I found a 15ml bottle for a very cheap price. And it turned out to be so nice! To me it's more fruity than floral. Reminds me of a red fruits compote with a hint of darkness, so the name and the bottle are quite appropriate for the smell. It's subtle - nothing, vulgar, cheap, harsh or annoying. Sexy Darling is not something outstanding, but is really pleasant. I think it's suitable for night time, but can be worn in colder days. It's not very long lasting, but as someone else said - it's good that it it's not stronger or more intense or it would be a heavy one. On my skin the dry down is sensual sweet, delicate and delicious. I'm pleasantly surprised by this one!

First of all, I would never ever buy this myself. It's a happy coincidence my younger brother who's in his early teens bought it for me as a christmas gift. I think the bottle is a huge mistake and I find the name embarrassing. Still, I really like this fragrance. It's oriental, woody, musky and sweet, but not at all girly-bubblegum-sweet like some of the other Kylie-fragrances (I had to try a few of them on after finding out I like this one). Rather heavy and with good sillage. Unfortunately, nothing happens with Sexy darling. I tried to detect any development, any change, but - nothing. The notes die, one after one, and a bit too soon. It lasts for about six hours on me.

Probably my least fave from the Darling collection but still something I'm happy to wear as a day to day sort of scent and for £13 for 50ml you can't go too wrong can you. I can definitely smell the rose and the pepper coming through and its pleasant enough without being too girly which is a positive if you're not much into the sweet bubblegum sort of scents. It definitely has a hint of Amor Amor about it, but not as sweet. I'm happy to wear but probably wouldn't replace once used (I'm pretty sure its discontinued now anyway) I'd recommend it as an evening scent in the cooler months or worn very lightly any other time. Lovely autumn scent.

Mandashell's review is pretty much spot on. I agree with the red berry feel, and the similarities to Brit but sweeter and more feminine. It could also could pass for another version of Jil Sander Style in her pastel line, the cran-raspberry version. Possibly due to fresh cranberry sauce in my house from Thanksgiving, cranberries and raspberries come to mind when I smell it, add a touch of cherry, mix with JS Style, you pretty much have Sexy Darling. The red berry feel holds on until the end. This is very long lasting with good sillage. Impressive for the price.
