Sexy Darling (for women)

guest_

I've just tried Burberry Brit on one arm and Sexy Darling on the other to figure out the difference because they are, as many people have mentioned quite similar.
Burberry Brit has more citrusy notes that keep it clean and fresh and complement the sweetness of vanilla and tonka bean without becoming overly sweet. I think Brit is more suitable for every day wear. Sexy Darling is sweeter overall, with more floral notes of rose and musk and I think it's more suitable for evening wear. Strangely enough, Sexy Darling reminds me of a grown up, modernized version of a deodorant I wore in high school that was called Romantic Rose. I used to get compliments on my "perfume" when I wore it, beliieve it or not!

I'm a bit embarassed that I own a perfume by Kylie Minogue with the name of "Sexy Darling" but I really like it. It is similar to Burberry Brit , which I love,(sweet, fruity, a little woody and, well, sexy...) and maybe that's part of the appeal. I can smell some vanilla in it, though it's not listed and I love the sandalwood. Doesn't smell at all like "Darling", thank God.

I just got this perfume today... I agree with Fairylight7, a cheaper version of Burberry Brit, though I'm not sure if it's so much a cheaper version(?). I have both of these scents now, and I do find it quite hard disguishing one from the other...VERY VERY close in scent, overall. But a very nice sweet scent.. And to me, one that is suitable for both day and nighttime wear:)

A cheaper version of Burberry Brit.

I was very surprised to find that orchid is not listed in 'Sexy Darling's notes...I could have sworn I smelled that after a few minutes. Although in the beginning this fragrance is sweet and quite generic, it quickly develops into and INTENSE sweetness on me that lasts for hours...among the notes listed is 'Marvel of Peru' and although I have not actually smelled this flower, i'm wondering if that is what the INTENSE sweetness is. Quite surprised as well that vanilla is not listed in it...it is that sweet! Too strong for me, but you should try it if you like fruity/gourmand type fragrances.

I love the top note of blood orange. It’s pleasantly sweet, but thanks to the pepper there’s a sharp bite to it. A lovely sweet/sour contrast.

It’s the overpowering floral notes that let SEXY DARLING down. The Belle De Nuit flower is sweet and heavy, jasmine is also heavy. Result? I nearly always suffer from a headache when I wear SEXY DARLING. Also, when the florals mix with the pear, the sweetness crosses the line into sickly on me.

I also love the contrast in the base notes; the sharp, more masculine sandalwood & the more feminine heliotrope is a lovely mix. Thank God Kylie & Coty have had a break from the predictable vanilla notes, the results are wonderful.


While I wouldn't re-buy this, I admit that it’s wonderful that Kylie’s finally released an adult fragrance. She was 40 in 2008, after all.


However, she still hasn’t released an original fragrance; SEXY DARLING is similar to Dior ADDICT on me. But hey, at least we’re beginning to move in the right direction.

It is a modern type of oriental - that is sweety-vanilla-fruity with some woods and a bit of spices. Comparable to for instance with Secret Obsession. The sweetness prevails. It is not ugly scent, I'd recommend it to young girls or women for evening wear, or those who are looking for something alluring, but not heavy.

Kylie got the name right as it is both sexy and darling. I like its warm, spicy, oriental-like and flirtatious composition a lot, it's a great fragrance for wintertime. Unlike mymlan, I find Sexy Darling's musky notes quite feminine and don't detect any masculine nuances in it. Would recommend it to young or youthful women who wish to wear delightful spicy fragrance without the 'knockout' effect of too strong perfumes.

This perfume is not what I first suspected! I thought it would be more floral, juicier and sweeter but instead its actually dry and woody. On me the rose and pear notes appears immediately just to leave right away. Left alone and behind is the musk accompanied by the sandalwood. I do not think it's a very feminine fragrance. I will recommend this one to my friend who used to love Farenheit (on herself). At least on my skin it smells similar to that.

its the one of the darlings that i less like, its said to be floral woody musk, but on me was a bit like the new naomi campbell scent wich is a bit oriental but have outstanding citrus notes, maybe it just doesent suit me but i couldt imagine an occasion when i would wear this.
