Almost better than the original

Probably the most ingenious imitation of Delina. I'm not into dupes and so far I've only found two that are 100% the same as the original or even a tad better. Fatima is one of these two fragrances.
I have the original as well as both flankers: Exclusif and La Rosée, Fatima is hardly sold in the EU anymore. The manufacturer Afnan from the Emirates may have had trouble with this product, as both the packaging and the fragrance were copied 1:1.
The fragrance is based on a powdery floral accord of intense rose and jasmine. Bergamot, grapefruit and rhubarb add strength and vibrancy, while vanilla, musk and amber underline the sensuality of the composition.
This is a fragrance for good weather, sunshine, romantic dates and a good mood. I feel joie de vivre and joy, youthfulness and lightness. And the best thing is: Fatima lasts! Sillage and longevity are outstanding.
Exceptionally feminine elegance and an unbelievable sillage. The longevity is also above average at 8+ hours, several days on clothing. For me, this is a modern rose fragrance, not old-fashioned or dusty.
Nothing nostalgic, soapy, but something new, fresh, a contemporary interpretation of rose that enchants.
Fruity and fresh floral at the beginning, then creamy floral. The perfect first date fragrance for me.
Not for #letsgetphysical moments. Too innocent for that. A sweet rose fragrance for me. Without being sultry or too heavy.
I really hardly recognize any difference to the original. I did the test and applied the original to one wrist and Fatima to the other.
Afnan is an Arabian fragrance brand from the Emirates, founded in 2007.

fruity fresh rose dream a lá Delina

All Delina lovers pay attention! :) this dupe is just insane and the price is unbeatable. The bottle is also beautiful and high quality workmanship. What more could you want?

I must admit that I had my doubts at the beginning. By chance I discovered this bottle on the Parfumo home page, there were hardly any reviews and a single statement. From the bottle, I could immediately tell that it must be a Delina dupe. I googled, and you can get the bottle in a beautiful packaging for just 20€ + shipping. Can this really be good for this price? One can hardly believe. All the greater is my enthusiasm, because I am absolutely in love! Durability and sillage are super, on my scarf the fragrance lasts several days. On the skin also super long, sillage decreases after 2-3 hours but. Recognize really hardly any difference from the original. Have done the test and left on the wrist applied the original, right Zimaya. If I had to name a difference, then I would say that Zimaya is still a little fruity. Maybe a little more lychee, which I personally like very much.

By the way, the brand "Zimaya" belongs to the Arabic brand "Afnan" - which is already much better known here on Parfumo. Zimaya is again a tick cheaper and is here I think still relatively unknown.

I'm glad to have discovered this dupe, which does my wallet very well and I have no guilty conscience and can just whenever I want to spray it as much as I want can only advise you to try it out :) and am curious what you say about it. Look forward to feedback.

The lighter Delina

A very dear friend, also a fragrance addict, drew my attention to Lisivanilli's statement, luckily for me...I had never seen Fatima before, there were no fragrance notes...how could it be otherwise, I ordered it immediately after a short further research. As soon as I read something that has to do with Delina Eau de Parfum, my inner Gollum goes into my treasure mode. Anything that seems remotely Delinaesque screams for me, or me for it? either way, I'm completely obsessed with it. I can't tell you what she does to me, but there is a before and after her...but will come elsewhere at some point and not in this review :D
Now to Fatima: She's not just good, she's amazing. As similar as the bottles feel and perhaps look, the perfumes are also very similar. Fatima is a little taller and wider and the engraving seems to be glued on. I once had the color described to me, but forgot
About the fragrance, Fatima is Delina! She's not trying to disguise herself as Delina or be her, she is. Just a different version of herself. Nothing is added here. While Souvenir floral Bouquet is Delina on the hunt, where the wicked side is emphasized, this is a lovely Delina who loves everyone and keeps her fire in check. In Fatima, the floral fruity notes are even more pronounced and make the overall impression somewhat lighter and more accessible. The scratchy side, the smoky sourness that might bother some, is very much reduced here, if not barely present, yet Fatima is by no means trivial. It is Delina with all her character traits, only Fatima emphasizes other personality traits.
For those looking for a sweeter, brighter Delina without compromising the Delina experience, here she is. I notice the strongest differences in the opening. Delina is right there, bam, with all her stunning beauty, her fire...Fatima is a little sweeter at the beginning, but develops very quickly into the dearer, identical twin sister. Hard to tell the difference. If no one knew you were wearing Fatima, they would think of Delina.
Value for money is insane, especially for the whole Delina experience. Souvenir Floral Bouquet and Fatima are in my opinion the best and above all equal alternatives, only for less money and I would recommend both without hesitation, but for those who can't pay the pretty penny for Delina or maybe don't want to, but want to experience the Delina feeling for a small price, rather reach for this one, because here not only the fragrance is right, but also the packaging, or rather the bottle. However, as already mentioned, I can only judge this from a tactile perspective.
It lasts about 8 hours on me, I can only judge the sillage moderately, but the overall impression is that it can be worn absolutely everywhere, even in everyday life. I love it very much and have to be careful, otherwise I would float through everyday life completely high. THE emotional effect is one of my assessment characteristics of a Delina sister. If she manages to evoke the same feelings in me as Delina, then I know for myself that she is good.
For everyone who has read this far, thank you for your perseverance

If it weren't for the little word if...

Hello everyone,

i would like to say something about Fatima at this late hour.

I am not a friend of fragrance houses that clone individual fragrances, this usually leads to the fact that I like to admonish those here and if a fragrance house then also quasi "copies" the bottle ... then it can only go wrong for the manufacturer/ or the fragrance house...

I'll say it briefly... - i find such behavior brazen and that's putting it nicely...

Nevertheless, I rate the fragrance an 8 across the board (except for the price) - why?

I would like to give 2 answers to this question.

On the one hand, there are people who unfortunately don't have the money (like others) and can or only want to buy cheap fragrances and this is perfectly ok (!) and I can understand everyone who thinks this way.
(It wouldn't be mine, but that's subjective or relative)

On the other hand, it is a very grateful fragrance that allows a lot of synthetics without being annoying. The pure implementation is well done in my opinion. It is NOT (!) a 1:1 copy because it is softer, creamier, more floral and gentler than the normal Delina Eau de Parfum
Poorly made?
NO!
It is one of the very, very, very few (almost) DUPEs on the market. You can buy it, wear it, like it and you're done.

I always find the subject a bit difficult in general (DUPEs), but if it suits you, then there's nothing to be said against it!
Can you go wrong with the price?
The one who says yes - he's got one on the apple, quite honestly!
Tip on the side - men really like it (but sprayed discreetly).

And now have a nice day/evening, or whatever you read this review, LG the Benny

But the scent of roses...

Even when I was at school, I always worked according to the motto: "As little effort as possible, as good a result as possible". That's how I was always taught. As a child of thrifty people, the price-performance ratio always had to be right. The best possible quality at the lowest possible price.
Today I like beautiful things. Beautiful clothes, good care products and even perfume. But I can't change my origins. If I want something, only the best of course, then I set about finding out how I can get it cheapest. Or the most efficient way.
Recently, while looking for a summer fragrance, Delina caught my eye. There must be something to the hype. However, it wasn't worth the money for me to find out. In my search for THE dupe, I found Fatima. 30€ is still okay.
Just before I was about to leave the house at the weekend, the parcel arrived on my doorstep just in time. I hurriedly unpacked it and held a rather kitschy, heavy, pink, ice-cold package in my hands. Well, it's all about the scent, the frills don't bother me now. I immediately spray Fatima on. Several times. If I'm going to do it right, I think to myself.
I like the opening best of all. Fatima is there straight away. It's incredibly tangy and sour at first, while the pink rose starts to unfold. Wow, I like that. In my imagination, there is a pink, fully bloomed rose without thorns in a narrow vase filled with fizzy rhubarb spritzer.
After opening, the tangy acidity of the rhubarb and grapefruit remains and the fruity lychee joins in. The whole thing is actually not sweet at all. It doesn't really seem synthetic to me either.
Then, however, a kind of symbiotic battle begins between the rose and the tangy acidity. Admittedly, I'm not the biggest fan of roses, which is why I gave the acidity and fruitiness the thumbs up. However, after several undecided rounds, the rose turned out to be the winner. Too bad, I think. The rose seems quite modern to me, but I still can't quite avoid the old-fashioned association with it.
As time goes on, the rose recedes more and more. Vanilla slowly emerges, which grounds the fragrance. I also really like the rose. At the end, the fragrance is very warm, which I would not have expected from it. It has quite a few facets.
The longevity is mid-range for me at around 6 hours. In the first 2-3 hours, the sillage is pretty good, I would say.
On the whole, I'm happy with my bargain, which for me is actually outside my comfort zone. To emphasize the acidity in the fragrance, I tried layering it with Vetiver Pamplemousse from Zara, but the Zara fragrance was already very dominant.
