  1. Delice is accurate, yet it doesn’t quite suit me. It smells of green nutmeg, a medicinal touch (I’m not sure if it’s the oud), and the bitterness of orange. It evolves into something complex, but for me, it doesn’t settle. I haven’t heard anything like it and it performs well, but it feels mature. That’s why I prefer other scents from the brand. Rating: 6/10. I tried it as a sample at Mon Parfum, Chile.

    Delice doesn’t resemble One Million, even though some claim it does. It’s very well constructed and balanced; I only detect orange, plum, cinnamon, and nutmeg. It’s unisex, offers acceptable longevity, and I see it as ideal for night dates, quite sexy. 8 out of 10.

    The opening is good, but what has won me over is the dry-down: rich and addictive. The scent is very balanced, with no single note dominating. It’s for special occasions or dates, where it really shines, though it has versatility for other days too. A wonderful fragrance that makes you feel great. Another option to consider.

    As its name suggests, it’s a delight: sexy, perfect for dates without a doubt, and very attractive. Perhaps it leans slightly feminine, but a man can wear it perfectly. It’s an excellent fragrance, a true treat.

  6. A very good fragrance. The opening is sparkling with nutmeg and orange, drying down slightly sweet from the vanilla with a dry touch from medicinal oud. The quality is unquestionable. It’s highly versatile and I’d wear it all year round. It’s unisex, though it leans feminine. Note that Davik81 doesn’t know what an oud-rose combo is; I’d recommend trying the Aoud from the same house to truly understand it.

  7. Very good fragrance. The opening is sparkling with nutmeg and orange, the dry-down slightly sweet from the vanilla with a dry touch from a medicinal oud. The quality is indisputable. It’s very versatile; I’d use it all year round. It’s unisex, though it leans feminine. Note: Davik81 doesn’t know what an oud-rose combo is; I recommend trying the Aoud from the same house to understand it properly.

  8. Nothing innovative here; it’s the classic oud + rose combo that’s already overused. Would I buy it? I don’t think so; there are better alternatives on the market.
