We loved the shimmery pink on the box and bottle and when combined with Kylie’s name and the fragrance name ‘Darling’ this immediately had a girly, feminine feel to it. The bottle is simple and chic and will suit any girl’s dressing table.

On first spray, the fragrance is strong and heady – we weren’t sure of it at first – but as the fragrance developed it became a light, sweet and fruity floral scent. The sharp, strong top notes do not last long (which pleased us!), then the mid-notes which are all delicate florals with a touch of oriental develop – these linger and waft for most of the day. Later you get the scent of vanilla and slightly spicier base notes.

Overall we felt this a great clean floral fragrance for daytime and romantic evenings… perhaps not strong enough as an evening fragrance.

A rich fragranced body lotion to compliment Donna Karan’s Cashmere Mist fragrance.

The texture is thick and creamy, it absorbs well and leaves skin feeling soft and smooth. Soothes and softens skin immediately and over time it improves skin texture and hydration.

The fragrance is quite strong and lingers all day – if you don’t like too much fragrance you won’t need the perfume as well, or you may prefer to use the body lotion during the day and the fragrance for special occasions.

Eau des 4 Reines is a true rose scent – not sweet and sickly like many rose fragrances, but as close as you can get to a bouquet of tea roses or the scent of a rose garden.

If you love rose fragrances this is an absolute must for you – a classic scent which will suit all ages, as a true natural scent it’s not just a scent for Grandma!

The packaging is lovely too – wonderfully boxed and looks great on any dressing table.
