What does Darley smell like?
Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring, with autumn and summer close behind and winter trailing. It leans towards daily wear, the office and leisure, and nearly half of voters call it masculine.
Bergamot, lemon and mint bring the initial coolness. The heart of orange blossom, lavender, rosemary, cinnamon and rose adds green, floral and lightly spicy touches. In the base, patchouli, sandalwood, amber and tonka bean soften it into a powdery, creamy, sweet woodiness.
