Darkly Audacious is the third fragrance by Sarah Barton-King and her Pink Room brand. The perfumer is Cyrille Carles. It is a daring and provocative, suggestive and ambiguous scent. Opening with notes of lemon, bergamot and rosewood, it develops into the heart of jasmine absolute, cashmere wood and plum and finishing on sultry base notes of dark patchouli incense, amber, tonka bean and vanilla.
It is conjuring a rich, sensually liberating story:“Panther-like she stands, clad in a column of molten gray panne velvet, across her eyes a sliver of black lace. Through the smoky haze of the bar her dark eyes search, who is she going to meet? Dali and Schiaparelli at the bar sharing a ‘naughty’ cigarette and glasses of absinthe. Chic and demi-monde draped across the bar… A louche figure glides lazily towards her, elegant, androgynous, dressed in a smoking jacket over velvet trousers Electricity sizzles through the air, intake of breath. ”I want this to be...?” Slipping an elegant bejeweled hand under her elbow, the mysterious one guides her to a banquette. On her wrist the Panther carries a minaudiere of ‘Darkly Audacious’ their faces come together sexy, feline…audacious! Intrigued. ”Imagine!” they whisper one to another!”
Available as 50 ml EDP and 15 ml purse spray. Darkly Audacious was launched in 2010.

This perfume is insanely delicious and addictive; sultry yet comforting. It's a gorgeous blend of vanilla, rosewood, plum, and incense. I also do detect a warm note of cinnamon, although it's not listed as being an actual note. The dry-down is powdery, which I usually don't like but this perfume is so well composed with the way it mixes the powder up with the incense that I just love it! This is one of the most incredible perfumes w/incredible staying power! This is 1 of the best perfumes I have ever tried and am very excited to have found it!! I think that Darkly Audacious will be a new contender for my fav perfume - Coco Chanel better watch out!
If you have a propensity for falling in love with vanilla based scents, you must try this!
I was wearing Darkly Audacious earlier today. I read some reviews on LS and I don't get anything they are talking about. Heady and floral? No tonka/ vanilla etc.
I don't know if it is my body chemistry but after 4 hours I find this a beautiful woody oriental, sensuous and provocative. I love the plum and rosewood opening.
I have never tried " cashmere wood" ( so I don't know what to look for) ... but the whole woody accord is so smooth and inviting. I am not sure if I would call it dark or audacious but I would associate it with a bright maroon draped velvet. The dry down is creamy and the coumarin really enhances the sensuous feeling. Lovely.
This scent features wood and plum. After a brief citrus top, the plum becomes too powerful for about 15 minutes, but then settles to a creamy base. If you like rosewood notes, you might like this.
