You're an old acquaintance..
The fragrance was a blind buy. I never really do that but I fell in love with this brand and so far, I've probably tested 90% of the fragrances from the brand now, there was only one fragrance that I absolutely couldn't stand, all the others were just great.

The brand is not a power brand, there are hardly any screamers but Damask Eau de Parfum is probably the absolute exception. I sprayed 2 sprays on a handkerchief a few hours ago and the whole kitchen smells very strongly of Damask Eau de Parfum even though the handkerchief is already in the garbage can...

The fragrance is very similar to Delina Eau de Parfum, only more fruity and not as acidic as Delina Eau de Parfum. The Damask rose is also very present here. In the drydown, the berries become more prominent, but the rose remains the absolute protagonist. The other notes are totally submerged in a sea of Damask roses. The white musk annoys me a little throughout the fragrance, I always struggle with this note. White musk is always scratchy and makes every fragrance a bit too garish.

I had Delina Exclusif in my collection several times years ago, so I'll have to wait and see if I can cope with a flanker now. Because my Delina time is actually long gone. I always felt a bit dressed up when I wore Delina but maybe it's time for a hyper feminine rose fragrance again. For me it's a summer scent and spring is just around the corner. Careful when spraying, the fragrance could work very nicely.

So if you are a fan of all the Delinas and are looking for something very similar for a cheaper price, not that Damask Eau de Parfum is cheap but almost half the price is also worth considering, you should definitely test the Damask Eau de Parfum. H+S is astronomical on my skin.

Summer vibes you‘ve smelled before…
Those who like Delina will also love Damask. For me, it has the same DNA. The only difference is that Damask is a bit more lemony and takes over the part of rhubarb in terms of acidity.
Definitely a fresh and summery fragrance that is suitable for the masses. Do I need it in my collection? Probably not.

Summer Wine
What a beauty...Refreshing, juicy, happy, sensual. I get first and foremost a dewy rose. Not old lady-ish, not jammy, not pot-pourri, just sweet and fresh. The rose is closely followed by a very natural-smelling berry note, very photorealistic, ripe and juicy. These are the stars of the show. They are combined with "metallic notes", which actually smell a lot like high quality ros'e wine.

The overall feeling is joyous, carefree, optimistic. Like drinking wine and eating fruit on a beautiful terrace on a summer evening somewhere in Tuscany. If the concept of "the good life" could be bottled, it would be this perfume.

Flowery fruit bomb
The fragrance is very pleasant to wear, it is like I find a perfect "late summer" fragrance. It's like walking through an incredibly dense rose garden late in the evening and noticing a sweet fruity scent that slowly displaces the rose scent but not completely. There is always a play between roses and fruit (Brine, berries, peach ?! very tasty ....) not too extreme but always accompanying.

It is my first evaluation since not too strict with me :-)

Like a less aggressive Montale Intense Café: sweet fruity rose. Still pretty strong, just not quite beast mode turned to eleven.
