Kylie Minogue Parfums Darling is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2021, created by Ilias Ermenidis. Darling opens with Freesia, Litchi, and Passionfruit, settles into a heart of Boronia and Lily, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Vanilla, and Amberwood. Kylie Minogue Parfums's Darling carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

A divisive relaunch for Kylie fans; many find it a pleasant, warmer update to the original, while purists lament its departure. It's affordable, approachable, and a fantastic option for those seeking a fruitier, more mature version of Mugler's Angel without the hefty price tag.

About

Darling opens with a splash of vibrant passionfruit and sweet litchi, brightened by ethereal freesia. This juicy start gives way to a sophisticated heart of boronia and lily, adding a smooth, slightly narcotic floral touch. The dry-down settles into a comforting embrace of creamy vanilla, warm amberwood, and a touch of soft sandalwood, creating a rounded and inviting finish.
