Darling
7.5De Gabor
Fruity · Sweet · Synthetic
De Gabor Darling is a unisex scent that ties prune, cognac and cherry to the sweetness of vanilla, praliné and marzipan.
It opens with prune, cognac, saffron and ginger, which give it a warm, spiced, boozy start. In the heart, jasmine, tonka bean and vanilla push it towards a creamy, gourmand feel. The base rests on sandalwood, benzoin, musk and oud, adding woody, resinous and slightly leathery depth. The overall impression is sweet, powdery and oriental.
Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it leans towards leisure, evening and night-out wear. Masculine and feminine readings are close, so it sits in between. Armani Code Absolu pour Homme and ScentStory 24 Gold have a close profile.
