Delina

Delina by Parfums de Marly is a bold, feminine floral fragrance with a pronounced tartness that comes from the rhubarb note. It opens with a juicy, slightly sour blend of litchi, bergamot, and nutmeg, which gives way to a radiant, crystal-clear rose paired with peony and a subtle vanilla musk. Around the base, a clean, earthy musk and vetiver create a restrained yet persistent dry down, enhanced by warm cashmeran and cedar. The scent transforms over time, becoming more musky and woody, showing depth and sophistication despite its initially sharp, fruity introduction. It's known for exceptional longevity and projection—typically lasting 12+ hours on the skin and projecting strongly in a close space, often leaving a memorable sillage. The fragrance is universally described as a 'princess' scent, youthful, sensual, modern, and luxurious, with many comparing it to a high-end, beautifully blended designer rose. While some find it linear or slightly overwhelming, especially in warm weather, the majority agree on its elegance and high performance. It suits spring to early summer, particularly in cooler conditions or for formal occasions. However, the price tag frequently sparks controversy, with most users calling it costly for what they believe is a familiar profile among many rose-fruits-florals.
