Australian pop princess Kylie Minogue is about to get even sexier!

by Thomas Stone, 27 July 2008

Kylie Minogue is set to notch up a hat trick in her ‘Darling’ fragrance line next week, with the release of her latest scent.

Sexy Darling follows on from the success of Darling and Sweet Darling, and is described as a "more mature fragrance that oozes seduction and sensuality". The scent is both woody and floral, characterised by top notes of Belle de Nuit flower and rose, and base notes of pear and sandalwood. The packaging maintains the simplicity of the Darling range, but with a deep red flacon to reflect a more refined scent perfect for those twilight hours.

A relative newcomer to the fragrance world, Kylie has certainly made an impression since the release of Darling in 2006, a floral scent combining fruity top notes of passion fruit, freesia and lychee with middle notes of lily and boronia and base notes of amberwood, sandalwood and vanilla.

Her second offering, Sweet Darling, released in 2007, takes on a more oriental appeal, combining top notes of passion fruit, bergamot and osmanthus with middle notes of freesia, cotton candy, boronia and patchouli and base notes of vanilla and Australian sandalwood.

Taking a short break from the Darling range, Showtime was Kylie’s third release, taking on a different tact with the distinct blend of mara des bois with base notes of praline and vanilla to produce a striking and feminine scent.

Sexy Darling will be released as Eau de Toilette in the UK on 30 July, in 30ml, 50ml and 75ml, with a Glowing Body Lotion to match.
