Oriana Parfums de Marly 2021

Now I have to plead guilty: I have yet to test a Parfums de Marly fragrance. Even though everyone always raves about Delina and Cassili, nothing has moved me to test the fragrances yet.

Then on the Parfumo home page came the little pink bottle as a newbie. With the color pink I was immediately picked up and had to look at the fragrance notes - I am then just too girly. Raspberry and marshmallow appealed to me right away and since I'm more into the designer world and not necessarily at home in the niche, I hoped the scent would still be pleasing. There were immediately drawn comparisons to love dont be shy by Kilian, but I also do not know and can unfortunately say nothing about it.

So said done: sniffed at Parfumo in the souk and found a dear lady who sent me a filling. Today she arrived. Immediately I tore open the envelope to spray me the fragrance. Despite my impatience, I waved my arm back and forth twice, trying hard not to put my nose to the scent right away.... The waving was already sending a sweet cloud my way, so I did bring my hand to my nose right away.... and then... BOOOOOMMM!!!!!

The scent:
The beginning is super fresh/citrusy, but really not for long. The first few seconds the grapefruit comes through for me quite dominant, but not bitter at all, but rather fresh, almost sweetish. After the next neutral inhale and sniff again, however, the scent has already changed again for me. Fruity notes come in. The currant I perceive almost not at all, which is very good for me, because I get a headache with too strong currant unfortunately always. Instead, the raspberry is all the more present and beautiful. Not tangy fresh, but rather sugared, but still true to the original and not strongly synthetic - which I find great. The orange blossom joins in, on the same level as the raspberry. The heart of the scent is so beautifully fruity sweet, making it a perfect fit for me in the spring and summer.... just heavenly...maybe you can already tell I'm in love! The fruity notes are insanely great highlighted by the sweet base notes. The marshmallow is quite present here. This is a really nice powdery marshmallow. So not sticky, but with this powdery layer on top. I'm sure you've seen these before. The cream and the musk support the sweetness and round it off creamy.

So I don't want to go out on a limb, but this could smoothly become a new candidate for a signature scent. This one really goes all the time. Sweet and fruity, but not too loud. Goes guaranteed also discreetly dosed in the office and makes a good mood, even in bad weather.

It is a very young fragrance. So he fits well with women in their mid-20s (like me, that's why I talk myself beautiful).... Of course everyone is allowed to wear what they want and a fragrance knows no age or gender, but that would be my first association now.

The sillage and durability:
The sillage and longevity are solid, but by no means slaying or overpowering. The scent hovers around you as a small bubble for the first few hours, after which it becomes skin tight very quickly.

But come on - since I'm an absolute oversprayer anyway, I don't care. With a few more sprays you also get the to a sweet marshmallow beast - and if not - is re-sprayed.

So far I have seen him in Germany yet on any website, only on the Parfums de Marly page. Sobalf he is there in German perfumeries, I will buy him immediately as a bottle! Simply just wonderfully beautiful.....
