OrientalWhat does Darling (Eau de Toilette) smell like?
Longevity is moderate and sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin as a quiet scent. Most voters pick spring, with summer and fall also in the picture. Daily wear and leisure lead, and the office is not far behind.
The top opens with passion fruit, freesia and lychee, fresh and fruity at first. The heart of lily and boronia adds a soft floral touch. In the base, amberwood, sandalwood and vanilla settle it into a woody, powdery, gourmand sweetness.
