Kylie Minogue’s new fragrance will be called ‘Darling.’

The pop princess said that the name was an obvious choice for her.

She told WWD:” I use 'darling' a lot. My mother calls me darling. I call my friends darling. It's almost so old-fashioned it has come around again. It's sweet, personal, loving and affectionate.

It's a term you can use for anyone – it's not just for your lover or your child, you can use it for everybody. And it's a little showbiz."

Coty International launches the fragrance next month in time for the busy Christmas period.

Steve Mormoris, Senior Vice president of Coty Beauty said;” She has strong appeal with three generations: women and men in their 20s, 30s and 40s. This is rare in the celebrity marketplace.

Kylie is a musical artist, she's a beautiful woman, and she’s accessible and charismatic. All of these characteristics we know translate well into a fragrance."
