Darling by Kylie Minogue {New Celebrity Perfume}

Kylie Minogue's first fragrance will debut next month. It is called Darling, a term the Australian actress says she personally likes to use, is popular in her family, and on top of these, has a show-bizz connotation to it. The perfume was created by Thierry Wasser of Firmenich and is described as a chypre-floriental scent...

"The scent features top notes of passion fruit, freesia and lychee; heart notes of lily and boronia, a flower sourced from Minogue's native Australia, while base notes include sandalwood, amber wood and vanilla".

This fragrance is also a first for Kylie Minogue as a perfume wearer since in the past she said she preferred to wear essential oils rather than perfume compositions.

Darling will be available in eau de toilette and eau de parfum concentrations and distributed through both mass and prestige channels to reflect the personality of the singer who has followings in diverse strata of society. 

"The edt, in 15- and 30-ml. sizes, will be sold in drugstores, priced in Europe at 15 euros, or $19 at current exchange, and 20 euros, or $25, respectively. The 50- and 75-ml. versions will be available in department stores and perfumeries, weighing in at 30 euros, or $38, and 35 euros, or $44, respectively. A 30-ml. edp initially will be sold through premium stores and later will roll out to other retail channels. It will be priced at 35 euros, or $44".
