Your Disco Darling needs you... [reviewing Disco Darling edp, by Kylie minogue]

 As the sun goes down on the scent of Darling, its alter ego, Disco Darling, makes an entrance, swapping stage for dance floor, and day for night. 

 

 

Dizzying lights sparkle with bergamot and cassis, as the beat gets under your skin, blossoming. A slide into musky seduction takes you on until dawn.

The reformulated version of Darling is much nicer than I remember the original edt edition from Coty being, so I couldn't resist picking up Kylie's new fragrance when The Perfume Shop had a special offer on the introductory giftset at the end of November, to see what else they can do...

Is Disco Darling going to be a totally new fragrance, or maybe a throwback to one of the original Darling flankers [Sweet Darling, Sexy Darling & Dazzling Darling]? Either way, is it worth picking up a bottle, or is the reformulated Darling a one hit wonder of a comeback?

Spinning around [reviewing Darling 2021 edp, by Kylie Mnogue]...

“Darling holds a special place in my heart. I’m so happy to be able to share this beautiful scent with my fans once more.” - Kylie Minogue 

The original Darling was launched to great success in 2006 and with Kylie’s continued success, it is no surprise that Darling is making a comeback.

The bottle and pack design reimagine the original through a modern lens, a shimmery pink, sleek shape with a lace-textured cap and all the glamour of the original. Perfumer Ilias Eremendis captured the beauty of the original scent architecture but in a modern, vegan formula.

Darling is a floral fragrance as thrilling as the pop darling who inspired it...

I was a huge Kylie fan through her Parlophone era, and I remember Darling really well; it was an edt and a had really poor aura  & very weak longevity, but I convinced myself that it was great and went through several bottles really quickly, as you practically had to bathe in the stuff and reapply it every couple of hours. As a result of the poor longevity & weak aura, I wouldn't detect much, other than passion fruit, vanilla and sandalwood.

Fast forward to 2022, when I discovered that Darling had been re-released last year, in a new edp formula; I was actually really excited to receive my online order, and started the testing & note-taking period immediately upon receiving it.

I'm expecting to discover a whole new fragrance, as a more intense formulation & improved longevity should help me to separate more individual notes. Ready to find out how it went?

Kylie does Mariah Carey; Music Box edp by Kylie Minogue...

On first application the fragrance is sugary sweet thanks to the berries. I can't detect any bergamot, so I find the first five to ten minutes of MUSIC BOX to be far too sweet and cloying...
