Named for the Royal Mare, one of the earliest and most renowned thoroughbred horses of the British monarchy, Darcy is, appropriately, a fragrance of great refinement and powerful simplicity. Based around a gorgeous combination of rich patchouli and full-bodied florals, Darcy stands out in the category with its subtlety, expert blending, and deep, intoxicating praline drydown. Opening crisp and fresh with a juicy citrus blend, Darcy's deeply floral heart- rose flanked with jasmine- feels at once hypnotically lush and also lightly green and naturalistic. As the patchouli blends in- soft, sweet and smooth- the effect is swooningly elegant. A lightly gourmand drydown of sweet praline and sexy white musk only completes the portrait of a lady of rarefied taste and royal bearing. For any lady who prefers to let her fragrance complete her outfit, rather than shout over it, Darcy is a royal treasure.
