What does Darling smell like?

Its longevity is moderate and its sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin rather than filling a room. With few votes behind these ratings, they are a rough guide rather than a firm verdict.

Blood orange and neroli give it a bright, citrusy start, while ylang-ylang supplies the floral body. Clove adds a spicy warmth and vetiver sits in the background as a dry base. The overall feel is sweet and fruity, with a powdery, creamy finish. Nobile 1942 Perdizione and Guerlain Mayotte have a close profile.
