Calda L'Arc 2024

This is Delina on steroids. If you think of Delina like a B grade generic perfume, this one is close to S tier. Its amazing. To me it smells like a delectable orange blossom champagne, except I dont think there's actually orange in this. It has lychee and strawberry but it actually smelt like a slightly sour mandarin drizzled with sugar. Reminds me of a desert my grandma used to make which was then was soaked in rich champagne. There's a fizzyness to this fragrance (how do you even make a scent smell fizzy? I am impressed!!!!) I tried this in a niche store while I was on holiday in Spain. Very beautiful scent which lasts super long. On my skin over 8 hours. On my clothes i smelt it 5 days later. Has that light freshness that you typically get from French perfumes compared to italian and arab ones. The bottle tbh looks kinda cheap and boring. I would have purchased it if the bottle were nicer and more embelisshed, OR if I didnt have so many parfum de marlys sitting on my shelf. This to me smells like a much more refined delina x cassili. The dna is very similar to other perfumes from marly with an extra element to it which makes it topple over the PDF fragrances.

Edit: I ended up purchasing it after I managed to buy it discounted. For a perfume of this quality I only paid 168 Euros for 100ml so was totally worth it despite be not liking the bottle that much. Most importantly the scent reminded me of my grandmother's desert :)
