Delina Parfums de Marly 2017 Eau de Parfum
1
When a perfume conveys a feeling…
Delina is one of those scents that simply conveys a good feeling and it evokes a buoyant sense of femininity and good mood in me. No matter how dreary the weather is, when I wear Delina, I feel sunshine. Somehow, I often like scents with roses in them and in pink bottles. It’s probably no coincidence! Someone has aptly described that it smells like an overload of sensations when you feel in love and your pupils dilate. I can absolutely agree with that!
I needed several attempts to truly understand and love the scent. At first, I found it quite nice, but I gifted the fragrance to my mother because I didn’t really wear it often. Occasionally, I would spray it on again when I had nothing else on and thought to myself each time, actually quite a pretty scent, and even my husband once said to me, yes, it smells somehow interesting.
Since I have been exploring the creations of Quentin Bisch lately due to my favorite Guidance, Delina has come back into my focus and I absolutely had to get it again, and now I love it very much! This rose, rhubarb, nutmeg combination is simply enchantingly beautiful! I can smell the nutmeg very well in the original, which doesn’t come through in the many dupes that are now available, and it’s exactly this slightly herbal note that I particularly like and makes the scent more harmonious.
Is the hype justified? Yes, definitely! I can understand why so many ladies adore the scent because it conveys a special feeling and sweetens your day when you let it.
Is the price justified? I would say, if it’s just about the production of the scent, definitely not. I know of a perfume manufacturer nearby that states every scent costs no more than a few euros to produce, regardless of which one, and the scents are produced synthetically nowadays, even though there are already quality differences.
Of course, the artist who created the scent needs to be paid, but most of the money goes into advertising and the luxurious bottles.
I can somewhat understand that some people don’t really connect with the scent, as it also took me a while because I simply expected something different.
Unfortunately, it also spoils a scent for me when every second woman owns it, but that’s just how it is with all the great things; you don’t have them all to yourself. What can you do? I don’t live in a big city, and here I rarely encounter ladies who use the same scent as I do. So, I wear what I like and what makes me happy, and Delina is currently comforting me through the gray, cold weather and brings a smile to my face. When I spray the scent, I see a beautiful, well-groomed, enchanting woman in my thoughts, and I think that’s exactly what the scent is supposed to convey and emphasize.
