Darling by Kylie Minogue is a sweet floral that reads as gourmand and flowery in equal measure, with a softer woody-amber side underneath. It was composed by Thierry Wasser and released in 2006.
The opening is fruity and bright: passionfruit and litchi bring a juicy, slightly tropical sweetness, while freesia adds a clean floral lift. The heart turns to boronia and lily, which keep it flowery and a little creamy rather than sharp. In the base, sandalwood, amber and vanilla settle it into something warm and smooth, so the sweetness lingers as a soft, comfortable finish rather than a sugary one.
Most people report moderate longevity, and a fair number find it on the weaker side, so it may need refreshing later in the day. Sillage is usually described as moderate. It is voted mainly for spring and summer and overwhelmingly for daytime, which suits it to casual, everyday wear rather than evenings.
