Dark Desires

Dark Desires is a women's eau de parfum from Ann Summers, sold in a 100ml glass spray bottle and a smaller 10ml purse spray. The brand says it is infused with pheromones, which is a marketing claim, and describes a blend of vibrant red fruits, sultry florals and intoxicating soft woods. The published pyramid is short. Red fruits sit on top. The heart is tuberose, jasmine, lily and orris. The base is tonka bean and soft woods. Shop copy calls it a captivating floral fragrance with sultry undertones. Read by its notes, it should open juicy and sweet, move into a creamy white-floral heart, and settle into a soft, woody dry-down with a little tonka sweetness. These are readings of the notes, not wear-test results. The bottle is a faceted glass flask that fades from deep blue to clear, with a rose-gold cap. The brand lists the range as vegan and cruelty-free. No perfumer is named and no launch year is given, so both are left blank. Customer comments on shop pages are mostly warm about the scent and the price. Longevity gets mixed feedback, and several buyers say it does not last very long, so a reapply on a long evening is likely. The performance scores here follow the format and those comments, not a measured test. It suits evenings, dates and casual nights out for anyone who likes a sweet fruity-floral at a budget price, and it is a gentler, brighter pick than the darker spicy scents in the same range.
