Hello everyone,
Delina Eau de Parfum is probably known to the entire perfume community worldwide. Hyped on social media, advertised by fragrance connoisseurs and now I myself have become the "victim" of my (scent) bubble.
First of all, the price is already blatant and I only bought the 30ml...
I was able to test Delina for about a week in the beautiful spring weather. The opening seems fresh and floral to me. A burst of delicate roses. Not oma-like, but more like a fresh bouquet of roses. As a florist, I was delighted that it doesn't come across as SO synthetic. There is also a slight acidity and fruitiness (?), probably from the rhubarb and lychee. Very beautifully blended. Like a floral mobile that moves and always reveals different shapes and facets.
The heart notes already resonate in the opening and merge into a symphony of fine notes.
However, the drydown surprised me. When you read vanilla, incense and vetiver, you often expect dark, creamy, earthy notes. Here, I perceive all of this as a skin-permeating veil. Like a cloak that accompanies me into the evening. Beautiful, feminine and classy.
As you can probably already guess, I think Delina Eau de Parfum is wonderful. It smells clean, appealing to others and can really be worn at any time. For many, it is certainly a signature fragrance. You can't really offend anyone with it, because it's incredibly crowd pleasing.
Based on unsolicited positive reactions from those around me, I find the sillage to be very good, as well as projection within the first 2 to 3 hours, then this decreases progressively until it becomes a skin-hugging fragrance. Lasts up to 9 hours on my skin. On clothes, especially on wool, it lasted a few days.
Delina is undoubtedly a women's fragrance, even though I wear it as a man. I occasionally layer it with Love Don't Be Shy Perfume and get compliments from strangers or am asked what smells so good. I think the marshmallow note makes this layering particularly appealing. Some were disappointed that they didn't meet a woman :D, but I can live with it myself.
I can also imagine this fragrance on a bride. The perfect wedding scent.
If the price wasn't so extreme, I'd buy the big bottle straight away. :(
