"Darling De Gabor is a sandalwood gourmand perfume that participated in the International Fragrance Competition organized by the World Congress of Perfumery in Miami in 2016 for professional perfumers and selected among the 10 best sandalwood creations in the world.
Only 50 ml Extrait de Parfum version, luxurious hand-polished glass, black leather lid."
[DE GABOR]

The fragrance has a fresh airy, slightly citrusy fruity, spicy opening. It's like being in a rustic log cabin in some distant woods. And soon comes the vibe of a freshly opened dried fruit compote mixed with a liqueur cherry jam [the cherry here is not cloyingly dominant], a rum filled praline is added to this recipe, and with all these delights greased and luxuriously decorated in marzipan... already making it clear that it is a sophisticated gourmand creation of very high quality and very realistic. I also feel a soft aroma of coffee always hanging in the air, how tasty.

And it doesn't take long for a creamy and fragrant sandalwood, the main actor of this composition, arrives like a woody fragrant breeze entering the cabin through the curtains, and adding a woody warmth to this delicious ambient smell dominated by the treats. A bouquet of white florals light amber sweet delicately decorates this cozy place, bringing a refined and sophisticated air to this environment until then bucolic. The 'oud here is clean, typical of French perfumery, and used sparingly, adding only a resinous depth in combination with the dark labdanum.

The perfume is delicious, complex and follows these mixtures in constant boiling and evolves into an ambery, super woody and musky base with a soft leathery facet permeating the fragrance throughout evolution... here we have a work of art from Contemporary French Perfumery with a light and modern creation of a gourmand perfume with a boozy, fruity, woody, ambery, musky and exceptionally balanced and surprisingly versatile touch, unisex and very sensual. Also counting on a very good performance.
Delicious Perfume!

DARLING - SENSUALITY IN A BOTTLE
Creamy sandalwood and gourmand notes accompany my senses all through the whole opening layers, each richer than previous. There're also elegant spices, warm resins, suede, boozy rum, cognac and cherry liquor, oud, guaiac wood, tonca, fruits... Ambergris is also here, peaking out with it's softness.
Darling is rich, very rich and multifaceted creation. Brilliant!!
