Darling De Gabor is a contemporary gourmand sandalwood perfume that has participated at the international fragrance competition organized by World Perfumery Congress in Miami in 2016 for professional perfumers and selected among the best 10 sandalwood creations worldwide. The perfume created around a top-notch natural Sandalwood has been very well received by both sandalwood and the gourmand perfume lovers and featured in the Best Indie/Niche Perfumes of the Last Decade by Fragrantica in 2020. "So Darling, Darlin' stand by me!” The top notes of the perfume are here to seduce us with the Calabrian bergamot, lip warming ginger, saffron and pink pepper, all getting us ready to taste the notes of cherry soaked in cognac, dry plums and dry figs. The sweet heart notes celebrate your gourmand addiction with milky sandalwood, Austrian marzipan, tonka beans, praline and rum. Mild orchids, jasmine, coffee flowers and patchouli act a reflection for a manifestation of love. Warm amber, sandalwood, amyris and guaiacwood in the base bring the fragrance towards a final vanilla dry down and the powdery gourmand musks reflect the ever-lasting erotic French touch. Darling De Gabor Extrait de Parfum evokes the moment when you first realize you are in love with your partner. If you are truly in love with someone, your Darling becomes your number one. Just imagine a cherry-marzipan kiss for the beginning, following the sweet harmony of dry fruits and noble spices. Warm and milky sandalwood invites you to a vanilla-soft sensual bath. Delicate jasmine, coffee flowers and orchids follow you around during all the day. Tonka beans, heart-warming amber and sweet powdery musk all whisper to you that you are in love.
