Darling
Eau de Parfum
Kylie Minogue Parfums
Pop-leaning celebrity fragrances built around Kylie Minogue’s eras and fan-focused themes.
Kylie Minogue Parfums is the fragrance line of Australian singer and actress Kylie Minogue. According to industry coverage, she signed her first perfume endorsement deal with Coty in 2006, and her debut scent, Darling, was launched on 9 November 2006. Darling was presented as a reflection of her public persona at the time, with notes of passion fruit, lychee and freesia over a base of sandalwood, amberwood and vanilla. This launch established her as one of the pop artists with a dedicated, ongoing fragrance portfolio rather than a one-off celebrity flanker.
Over the years Minogue has released numerous perfumes, including follow ups such as Couture, Pink Sparkle and later Disco Darling, which arrived in December 2022 via Scent Beauty. In 2021 she revisited her origins by relaunching Darling with a subtly updated formula composed by perfumer Ilias Ermenidis. In 2025 she partnered with UK-based Glorious Brands on the Lovers collection, featuring Lovers Fleur and Lovers Noir. Official note listings for Lovers Fleur highlight leafy greens, honeysuckle and coconut milk over tuberose, ylang-ylang and jasmine, while Lovers Noir pairs green apple and pink pepper with lavender, artemisia and a tonka bean and patchouli base.
The brand now operates through collaborations with Scent Beauty and Glorious Brands, with distribution and online sales via retailers such as SCENT BEAUTY, Glorious Beauty and the dedicated site kylieminogueparfums.com. Across its catalog the line blends approachable pricing with themes tied closely to Minogue’s music eras, stage image and interaction with her fanbase, using names like Darling, Disco Darling and Lovers to connect the scents to specific chapters of her career.
A celebrity, mid house known for fruity floral compositions.
The line started in 2006 with Darling under Coty, fitting the classic mid-2000s celebrity fruity-floral profile. Over time, follow-up releases played with sparkling accords, soft woods and gourmand bases while staying firmly in the mainstream camp. Since 2021, the partnership with Scent Beauty and later Glorious Brands has focused on modernizing older hits like Darling and launching concepts like Disco Darling and Lovers that directly reference Kylie’s club-ready and fan-centric eras. The newer scents trend slightly more polished and contemporary while keeping the accessible DNA of the original line.
Kylie Minogue Parfums is a solid choice if you enjoy sweet, pop-oriented fragrances and have a connection to Kylie’s music or image. If you prioritize originality or high-end materials, you will likely look elsewhere, but for affordable, nostalgic celebrity scents it does the job well.
