Delina Exclusif by Parfums De Marly Eau De Parfum Spray 2.5 oz / 75 ml (Women)

Product Information

I think it’s pretty obvious by now which of these fragrances I prefer. The crown has to go to Delina Exclusif. It’s just got that something special that makes it feel as though you’re wearing a luxurious gown, gliding through an Oriental palace. Do I like Delina? In short, yes. I love rosy perfumes, even those that might be better suited for older ladies. There’s something feminine and elegant about Delina that makes me feel graceful, attractive, and well taken care of. I’d almost say it was comforting. The top notes are litchi, bergamot, nutmeg, and rhubarb, while the rosy notes are at the heart along with peony, musk, petalia, and vanilla. But the sheer strength of the rose has caused a lot of people to say that this is more of a grandma’s perfume. I really like Delina Exclusif. It’s my kind of fragrance with those woody notes and oud alongside the freshness of girly rose. For me, this smells like ‘my scent’ and is likely something I’ll return to time and again.

That said, I cannot deny that the original Delina does everything you’d expect from a perfume. It’s pretty smelling and it performs well, but its less versatile and has a somewhat acquired scent puts it in second place. What’s The Difference Between Delina and Delina Exclusif If you have already tried Delina and been put off by the ‘old lady’ smell then don’t be deterred from trying Delina Exclusif just yet. While there are still obvious rosy notes, they’re far less in your face and this feels like a much warmer, more youthful version of the original fragrance. However there are some Delina alternatives out there, most notably from dupe houses who specialize in creating a clone of Delina alongside other perfumes from luxury brands. The main difference between Delina and Delina Exclusif is the amount of rose in each. Delina is a perfume with heavy rose notes whereas Delina Exclusif makes rose more of an equal part of the larger composition.

My Account

One of the most popular niche perfumes to come to the market in recent years is Delina by Parfums de Marly. When you look at it objectively, Delina is a beautifully fresh and clean scent that performs like a dream. I haven’t seen longevity like this in a long time and with just two sprays, you’ve got 12 hours of fragrance that people will smell from a distance. But what surprises me is that, while the bottle gives the impression of a youthful, fun-loving perfume, what you find inside is a stark contrast. You see, Delina is a much more mature fragrance that’s bursting with rose accords. There is still something of a maturity about Delina Exclusif, but it’s nowhere near as prominent as Delina. I think for women over the age of around 25, this would make a perfect, elegant signature scent. The Winner: Delina Vs. Delina Exclusif The fact that it is such an expensive fragrance also often makes people find themselves not wanting to like it so much.

Oh Delina! Aren’t you a beautifully feminine fragrance! This scent was launched in 2017 and was created by expert perfumer, Quentin Bisch. A floral perfume aimed at women, Delina is the epitome of girliness, captured in a baby pink bottle. Again, Parfums de Marly has nailed it where performance is concerned. Delina Exclusif is another monster of a fragrance that’ll last way beyond 12 hours. What’s more, stand in a room full of people and they’ll all catch a whiff since the projection is enormous! While it is strong, Delina Exclusif can easily be worn for a multitude of occasions across the year. Although, I think with its warming character, it’s a lovely option for fall and winter.It’s a bit of an exaggeration, I know but I like the idea that perfume can transport you to another way of life, if only for a moment. But Delina Exclusif doesn’t only last a moment since it’s so strong and that’s another reason why it is my winner. Delina has been described as a very unique scent and it’s therefore not easy to find a fragrance with similar notes. In terms of how versatile this perfume is, I’d have to say not very. Being so floral, it’s probably not a fragrance you’d want to wear in winter. But its strength means that wearing it in summer can make it a little overpowering. Personally, I’d keep this for a special occasion and be done with it. My Verdict On Delina
