by Kylie Minogue
Sweet Darling by Kylie Minogue is a boldly sweet and playful fragrance with a warm, gauzy sweetness that lingers on skin. It opens with a burst of citrusy passionfruit and floral freesia, quickly giving way to a lush, cotton candy-infused center enriched with vanilla and caramel. The base of patchouli adds a subtle earthy depth, balancing the candied notes and adding a touch of sophistication. While it's undeniably sweet—often described as edible, marshmallow-like, or reminiscent of candyfloss—it avoids becoming cloying thanks to the patchouli and the gentle, skin-like dry-down. It’s a cozy, uplifting scent best suited for colder months, particularly winter, and is especially beloved for casual, intimate moments or evening wear. The scent is considered nostalgic and comforting by many, evoking memories of seaside summers, warm sweaters, and personal milestones. Despite its limited availability and average longevity, it consistently draws admiration and compliments, often described as sensual and iconic within Kylie’s lineup.
