I’m going to review the replica (even though some might be annoyed 🤣) because even if I had the money, I wouldn’t spend it on something so expensive, and I want to explain why… Replicas are always 90% similar to the original, and when perfumes are excessively expensive, I test them that way (I’m referring to niche)… And Delina has nothing extraordinary about it; I’ve had many rose perfumes that smell the same with very low values. Does it smell good? Yes, and very much so, but if people don’t have the money to buy something so costly, go for the replica which smells 90% the same. It’s a very intense perfume and for me it smells like a bunch of freshly cut white and pink roses. Let the hate come for reviewing the replica, hahaha.
I think we’ve all been through Delina when we decided to venture into that parallel universe called niche. Excellent quality, very good longevity, good trail, great performance, versatile. All without reaching bomb levels. And now comes the less objective part: personal taste. In the opening, the lychee + rhubarb combo never fully convinced me; it’s piercing. I thought I’d get used to it, but it hasn’t happened. I always feel like one of the two is superfluous. Then it settles, although I still perceive it attenuated throughout its duration. I like the dry down more: a well-present rose without being overwhelming. I don’t notice the cedar or vetiver, which is good. The base isn’t too prominent, it’s there discreetly doing an excellent job of support. As it should be. Excellent perfume. So, why do I always reach for another and barely use it? That’s personal taste. It has that ‘I don’t know’ that doesn’t quite click for me. From what I read, I’m not the only one. Good thing. Before spending on this calibre, it’s normal to try dupes or clones to see if it’s for you. Some I tried were quite similar, others weren’t cheap and were supposedly high quality. But when I compare them with the original, that’s where Delina’s undeniable quality becomes apparent. It has what I call a ‘body’ that sets it apart. You know what I mean. I’m not trying to start a controversy with equivalences, it’s bad taste. Seeing how flooded the market is, I thought it timely to warn. Compliments? Many, very many, which doesn’t fail to surprise me. But of course, it doesn’t drive me crazy, which is why I’m surprised. Curious fact: the compliments come exclusively from young women. Shall we draw conclusions? Would I buy it again? No, I don’t think I’ll finish my bottle. Nor do I love it enough to justify that expense. In summary, a very good perfume. I can see its potential as a signature. Just in case, I wouldn’t wear it to a job interview. Who knows, the interviewer might not take kindly to the lychee and rhubarb combo.
I find it a fantastic perfume, it evokes peace, serenity, innocence, and kindness. Predominant are roses that are not overwhelming, smelling very natural and delicate. Its longevity is extraordinary, more than 24 hours on clothes. This perfume wouldn’t be missing from my collection if not for its exorbitant price, more than double that of a good designer perfume. It’s a marvel for anyone who can afford it.
It seems like a very strong perfume and there’s something in the fragrance I can’t quite smell, I don’t know if it’s the Petalia or the vetiver, it’s very strong and I couldn’t handle it, it’s not for me. Its trail and longevity were moderate on my skin.
In my opinion, nothing particularly out of the ordinary, I wouldn’t pay the exorbitant price it has.
Inspired by the reviews, I went to smell it, oh no, I don’t like it at all. I notice a potent scent, I don’t know exactly what it is, it smells similar to cloves mixed with incense, very strong. I haven’t liked it at all, I wouldn’t buy it. I don’t notice the floral part; there’s something potent that stands out on my skin above everything else and I don’t like it, it smells like an old cologne. And no, it doesn’t resemble Nina Ricci’s Bella like I read below: Bella is citrusy with fresh, sparkling green apple, while Delina is a smoky rose with incense…, no, they have nothing to do with each other.
I bought a tester and well, it really didn’t surprise me at all. It’s a rich and lovely scent that I could wear, but I wouldn’t buy it. At first, it has a beautiful opening, neither too strong nor too weak, but then it changes very quickly and softens. The rose stands out a lot; you have to like roses. To me, it reminds me of Mancera’s Roses Vanilla but less potent; I’d say in the end it leaves a slight, not exact, but similar scent. To my taste, I wouldn’t buy it and it didn’t impress me.
Uuuh, I bought this perfume super excited (luckily a decant) and it smells way too powdery, like an old makeup palette. Maybe it’s my skin, but I don’t understand the popularity 😭. I must admit that a perfume’s opening has to please me to love it, and after a while, I had to take it off because I couldn’t stand the scent.
Oh, Delina, I fell in love with you 😍. I love that slightly sweet, acidic opening, that beautiful, pink rose, with such a great trail and longevity. It’s gorgeous, so feminine. The only downside here is the price, far too high to keep repurchasing.
To be completely honest, it took me some time to appreciate this fragrance; it is beautiful and lovely without doubt, but initially I perceived it as conventional. After using it in different moments and occasions, I can say it’s perfect for daily use and social activities, offering a fresh and youthful touch. As it evolves, the fragrance delves into a more sophisticated and professional phase with the Turkish roses, without losing its youthful and vital essence. Although it’s not overwhelming, this rose scent is memorable and well-defined. In my opinion, it could fall into the category of perfumes with a ‘clean scent’ and in the office it would give the wearer a correct image. At night, the roses add a more delicate elegance, suitable for semi-formal to formal occasions, while the fruity notes remain present, allowing for a more relaxed and informal use. In romantic terms, the combination of fruits and flowers is attractive, creating an atmosphere of trust and likability, rather than seduction. Ideal for women between 20 and 45 years old.
One must recognise to the Marly house a finesse and a very artisanal know-how that exudes class. This speaks to me of well-off girls, of expensive clothes full of lace, waves, wide stripes, embroidered flowers, and good materials. You may like or dislike their perfumes more or less; they may seem more or less conventional to you, but all are beautiful and worked, with very interesting durations and evolutions. This Delina, not being my style (roses seem very melancholic to me), is pure bubblegum rose. Marly has the incredible ability to provoke visions of châteaux, manicured gardens with ruler and set square, overgrown shrubs of flowers, and a very photographic Versailles air. All of it is supported by a juicy, light-filled lychee, and finally, Delina ends up being that: a savoury and elegant perfume that perhaps doesn’t innovate, but conquers you with its beautiful sadness and good work.
Ugh, a tremendous perfume. As with any high-end niche, you can’t buy it blind without testing it on your skin. This gentleman changes so much depending on pH that at this price, you have to keep your eyes open. They say it’s too powdery; if it is, well, that’s fine, but if your skin plays nice with it, it stays in check and that’s an advantage. In my case, despite having everything I love, I relegated it to the back of the cupboard (I couldn’t bear to gift it at that price). And recently, I gave it a second chance and was floored. Was I the problem? Yes, I was. Using a daily subcutaneous injection now, I finally get out. Now I can actually smell the roses; the sweetness and cloyingness have dropped, the citrus notes have resurfaced, and the woods have stopped being hazy, now they’re clean and distant. It’s a perfume that embraces but doesn’t invade. I insist, it’s wonderful and worth every penny, but with care and testing it first.
It’s my favourite. Every time I wear it, my partner won’t stop smelling me. It can stay on my skin all day. It’s a different and unique scent, I love it.
This perfume you either love or hate. I hated it, haha, although I bought it in decant. I can’t stand the incense smell.
If you like roses with a pinch of acidity, this perfume is for you. It’s strong on rose; in fact, it’s a bouquet of roses. Perfect for spring. It has presence, it’s elegant but quite feminine. It’s very delicate, feminine, and ‘good girl’. I think it would be perfect on a bride getting married in full spring. This scent isn’t an old or granny rose; it’s a very modern rose. But it has a bit of the acidity of lychee and rhubarb, which is what predominates most. It’s quite expensive, so you can find other options in the perfumerie arabe; they aren’t exact dupes but they come very close. It’s not a blind buy: ask for a sample. It’s quite particular and not just another rose perfume from the pile.
Quentin Bisch is a genius. Personally: I don’t like rose, rhubarb, childish or ‘girly’ scents, nor incense or nutmeg. The lychee, meh. His listed notes, taken together, are neither here nor there. But when smelling it… all combined in harmony, it’s an explosion. It smells divine, in constant paradox: sweet and acidic, childish yet mature, old yet new. To me, it clearly smells like Barbie. It’s an alabaster bomb, for better and for worse. I perceive a very subtle smokiness that gives it depth; perhaps it’s an oud that grants it bipolarity and contrast. That said: its notes can make one dizzy or cause a headache. It’s a fragrance that chooses you, not you choosing it; it leads you, dresses you, but chooses its wearer. I believe in the good and bad reviews because that’s what it is: either you love it or you can’t stand it. What bothers me is that it has presence, though not as before; this isn’t ‘beast mode’, it’s clearly reformulated. I say this with knowledge of the cause; I keep several testers and decants from when it launched and I have the large bottle with a batch from late last year. I see that many ‘niche’ houses are doing this and I think it’s terrible, a rip-off and an absurdity. I suggest they stop investing in small YouTubers to leave the quality we are actually paying for, because this cheap perfume is not it. For its price and characteristics, it’s not for everyday wear; it’s strong and tires quickly. It’s not versatile, neither for day wear in summer or with much heat; it can overwhelm and create olfactory fatigue. But yes, for occasions where you want to feel special. I like this one more than the Delina Exclusif, because that one has a point of petrol and plastic wrist that repels me. But this one doesn’t. This is good, just right. Perhaps I would take away a turn of smokiness, but I also understand that’s its charm. One needs a large inner world and great imagination to create something like this with those notes; all my respect to the creator.
Quentin Bisch’s creations have an DNA for me: a lingering taste of a newly renovated flat while the paint is drying. I imagine it’s due to the woody base and ambroxan. Do you know when you enter a newly refurbished flat? It smells of paint, plaster, and new carpentry; that’s what reminds me of the dry-downs of several perfumes by this perfumer, such as Angel Nova, Valaya, and Delina. Beyond my personal impression, Delina transports us to the Middle East in its opening, with Turkish rose as the protagonist, a spiced touch of nuts and syrup reminiscent of sweet baklava. The incense is less present than in the Exclusif, but it’s there. It’s a pleasant perfume with a justified success, but definitely not for me.
I tested two sprays and it gave me an instant migraine. I opened the windows because I was suffocating in a cloud of synthetic musk, with a very faint trail of sweet rose at the bottom. I washed quickly but the aftertaste in my throat took a while to disappear. It’s the first thing I’ve tried from this house, and although I was curious about Galloway, I think I’ll pass.
I come to disagree with everything said about this perfume. I call it bland, nothing innovative, and simply ordinary. I don’t deny the quality of the big names, but for its incredibly high price, it offers nothing. Fragrances like this make one wonder if houses inflate names to sell a unique experience that never arrives. It’s pleasant, but generic in the end.
Plato would have been envious: this universal femininity made of red fruit jams, sweet and radiant. It brings back childhood memories, toys, and elegant innocence. To me, Delina smells of strawberries, rhubarb, and raspberries with a touch of nutmeg and roses. It shares that precious reddish aura with Baccarat Rouge, evoking tender, sweet flavours. It’s like a velvet cushion of red fruits embraced by roses, a safe and familiar place where one feels welcomed. It’s that utopia of ‘being a girl’ that always tastes like home, just as we used to play freely in the woods with berry-stained hands.
A meh perfume… I don’t feel it is elegant, refined, or sophisticated; very ‘NI’. It adds to the trend of acidic and sharp ‘coquette’ perfumes, loaded with rose, rhubarb, and little fruits. From such an expensive house, one expects something more.
Delina, with a bottle of very poor taste, I thought I wouldn’t like it, but I wanted to be wrong. Although to be honest, I am not, because if I had liked it, I would have to put up with that bottle that clashes with my visual tastes. I retract my statement: the only thing that matters is the perfume. For those talking about originality, try Bella by Nina Ricci, Rhubarbe by Hermès, or Herbae by L’Occitane and let me know. I studied Commercial Engineering and Marketing is my favourite subject; what a brilliant marketing job there is here!
There’s a lot of criticism regarding the price, but it is artisanal and contains nothing synthetic. In my opinion, it’s not bad; I like the lychee aroma at the start, and when it dries, it smells like that great Turkish rose that reminds me of Moschino’s Toy Boy.
On me, it smells like a Chloe perfume, perhaps a flanker. It’s like going into your garden and cutting a rose with the leaf attached; a freshly cut rose. I suppose the leafy scent comes from the rhubarb. It smells like a strong rose… I’m not a fan of rose. Thank goodness it doesn’t stay this intense when it dries and blends with the vanilla.
I admit it is pretty, innocent, feminine, and youthful, with good longevity. It’s a pure powdery rose. I don’t tolerate rose in a perfume unless it goes unnoticed, and here it is the star. It doesn’t suit my style, but it is beautiful, and I understand the hype for those who love the note.
I bought it blind and on the first try, I sensed a vintage vibe with strong roses, but the second time, my love for it blossomed; it’s the perfume that has brought me the most compliments. My advice: do not buy it blind.
On me, it smells as if all the roses are growing on a Christmas tree: a natural rose with green foliage and a woody heart. Perhaps the Christmas tree vibe was due to the season, but I’ll retest it in the heat to see how it develops. It’s neutral for me; I neither adore nor hate it.
I’ve had it stored for two years and finally tried it out in the summer heat. WOW… I’m not sure if it’s the maceration or the heat, but fruity notes emerge that I can’t quite identify. With the nutmeg and rhubarb, it feels fresh and green… I’m completely smitten.
On me, it highlights nutmeg, rhubarb, and incense, pushing the rose and lychee into the background, which gives it an original and addictive touch. It makes me incredibly happy. The projection is moderate, which I appreciate as it isn’t overwhelming. Everything about Delina is simply lovely.
Delina by Parfums de Marly is a triumph in the niche world for anyone seeking their own feminine signature. The blend of peony, rose, and musk is executed beautifully, complemented by soft lychee and incense that make it harmonious and highly pleasant. While the price-to-quality ratio might be subjective, I recommend giving it a try; it’s fresh, versatile, and I’m sure you’ll earn plenty of compliments.
I had the opportunity to try Delina for the first time thanks to a sample. Since I saw the bottle I knew I would fall in love; it’s one of those fragrances that attract you before you even smell them. But when I finally tried it I couldn’t believe what I was experiencing. The scent is incredible; it takes my breath away. It’s sophisticated yet has a unique touch that sets it apart from everything I’ve tried. It makes me feel secure and elegant; without a doubt it has become my favourite fragrance.
Its opening is juicy and exotic thanks to the lychee which mixes with rhubarb and bergamot for a fresh slightly acidic start with a spicy touch of nutmeg. Subsequently it lands in the floral heart where Turkish rose is the absolute queen but she’s not alone: she’s accompanied by peony vanilla and a clean touch of musk reminiscent of freshly changed sheets. In the base noble woods incense and Haitian vetiver settle rounding everything off with elegant sensuality. If you like roses go ahead. If not you can save yourself the purchase.
I was lucky enough to try it on my skin some time ago; I associated it with what a beautiful antique doll might smell like. However the price is so high that I could only dream of it until I found the perfect dupe (if you’re in Chile it’s at Inspiraciones.cl Ciro 18) and now I can afford to smell like a pretty doll whenever I want.
When I smell this perfume the first thing that comes to mind is: feminine and sophisticated. It smells like an expensive bouquet of roses with lychee juice and a touch of bergamot dusted with vanilla and nutmeg with a hint of incense in the base. It’s a wonderful creation rich and delightful shouting spring. If you like roses you’ll probably like it; if not probably not. Don’t buy it blind although yes it’s not your typical rose perfume. As for the price? Definitely expensive quite a few thousand. I bought it for special occasions; in Mexico I bought the inspiration at Perfumes Europeos and it’s quite similar so I can definitely alternate between both. I agree with several people: the price is surprising given there are good dupes at a fraction of the cost but it’s up to each person. It’s not for blind buying as on some skin the incense feels excessive.
I only tested it with two sprays on my wrist and wooooow. At first it smells exactly like a brand-new doll a quality perfume. I washed my wrist and still perceived the scent. It’s the most intense perfume I’ve ever smelled and the quality is evident though the price is outrageous.
Delina is one of those fragrances that deceive you at first if you buy it blind; don’t criticise it immediately just give it time. It’s the perfume that smells like a doll by definition but on my skin something special happens; it sits beautifully and before I know it it surprises me with bursts that illuminate the air as if everything around me takes on a more delicate hue. A beautiful fragrance.
I understand the hype for this perfume. For me it would be the scent of a Disney princess: very pink very feminine very delicate. Spring would be the best time to wear it when the flowers are in bloom. It has excellent trail and longevity. The downside? Its high price.
It has a special charm as they say it smells like a fairytale princess Sleeping Beauty. Very floral highlighting the rose; on my skin it leaves a creamy velvety trail. It’s not a subtle or fresh scent; it clings and lasts at least 10 hours. After six hours sweet vanilla notes emerge with the rose and peony becoming softer and more accessible super feminine like a good girl. I’ve found good clones that don’t project as much and are less intense without the rhubarb/strawberry note but the original is excellent.
I smelled it on a girl in the supermarket and had to ask what it was. Despite its fame I’d never tried it until now. And it smells incredible! It leaves a trail; I don’t know how much she wore but it’s noticeable when you pass by without being overwhelming. It smells exactly as the notes suggest: you can clearly detect rose and vanilla very well combined with something special in that natural warm base perhaps that touch of rhubarb that makes you want to smell it again. It’s very doll-like; if you enjoy that style you’ll love it. I think it suits all year round and any occasion.
After falling in love with Valaya I went to smell this with huge excitement. Despite all the hype I was determined to try it before buying and I’m so glad I did! To my disappointment I didn’t like it at all. The bergamot felt too acidic and sharp failing to settle nicely as it dried. It seemed invasive almost like a mix of cleaning products. Although Delina Exclusif is worse this is a definite no for me.
