"Darling, it's such a warm word. I use it with my friends, my mother uses it with me and it's a little bit showbiz," Minogue said, reports the West Australian.

Wearing a knee-length, black dress, Minogue unveiled Darling at a mansion in Sydney's exclusive Vaucluse.

Apparently the perfume has the approval of her man, the sexy Oliver Martinez.

"I did ask my boyfriend as we were testing the fragrance - he likes it," said Minogue.
