Delina Exclusif Parfums de Marly 2017

Book matches cover. THE princess perfume. Historically inaccurate rococo rose, with syrup-soaked lychee and soupçon of vanilla. Imagine rosewater lokum dusted in powdered sugar. My favourite part is the lychee, which really ignites on my skin (stays rosier on fabric). So succulent. Evokes the same feelings I got from the OG Juicy Couture, as a gourmand-toeing rose, but this is more floaty and fruity. Longevity is wild. Think cupid with a six-pack. Went to bed in day-old Delina on my t-shirt and woke up still in a baby pink cloud. Would consider splurging but I already have Gumamina’s Odette, which does the same Turkish delight and baby powder thing, only with grapefruit.

Mental Snapshot: A rave for cherubs. Royal Wedding fascinators. A first kiss in a Laudrée. The Swing by Jean-Honore Fragonard, only she’s kicking off an acrylic-platformed Pleaser. This week a hot new bombshell enters Versailles.

tl;dr: attractif
