What Reddit owners say
2/5“I had the misfortune of purchasing a fake Delina from John Lewis, which is a highly reputable department store here in the UK.”
3/5 Summer“I'm a bit of a rose purist - give me a perfume reminiscent of a rose bouquet or a rose bush on warm humid summer morning, air heavy with the fragrance. My grandmother wore Tea Rose by The Perfumer's Workshop, and I wear it for bedtime. Another favorite is Chronotope Spite EDT, advertised as a rose that is not a rose. What I don't like are Delina-adjacent scents.”
4/5 LongevityProjection“Delina La Rosee is one of my favorites.”
4/5 Value“I've tried Delina and Rose. They're pleasant, but honestly nothing mind-blowing. My real thoughts: WAY too expensive, and the pink tax is ridiculous.”
1/5“Delina. I got free samples in the mail and I HATE rose scents. But by God, she converted me fully. Now I'm a rose addict”

3/5 SweetnessUnique“- Delina - it grew on me while wearing the decant, I've enjoyed the rhubarb note and liked the tartiness, different, got a bottle - Delina excl - too sweet, misses the rhubarb, I have Rose Tonnerre, I don't need another sweet rose - Delina la rosee - at first, I thought it'd be redundant but then the summer heat hit and now it grew on me while using the sample, may get a bottle”
4/5 SweetnessValue“I own Delina (the original) and it has grown on me - the rhubarb note was a bit too much for me at first but now after a few months the lychee seems more prominent.”
5/5 Longevity“I have the original Delina and Valaya Exclusif and recently added Oriana to my collection, and I'm absolutely in love.”
5/5 SweetnessNight out“It's also lacking the bit of edge or maturity that something like Delina has.”
5/5 Longevity“**I've tried the original Delina, but I haven't properly tested Delina Exclusif on my own skin yet.”
5/5 Value“Eau Rose for example smells like a Rose garden, but like, the whole garden not only the flower, so it\`s a much more green scent than Delina for example. As much as i love my three PDMs, i have to say that they are not really the most interesting house, and their prices are fucking insane, as well as their dumbass pink tax which can get royally fucked.”
5/5 Value“Yes. I love rose perfumes. I tried Delina, Delina Exclusif and Delina La Rosée and found out that they smell cheap and unpleasant and that their dupes are actually better than they are.”
2/5“I was so pumped to smell Valaya and Delina exclusifs and was so sad I didn't like them. My favorites have to be Meliora, Valaya, and Delina. I think on my skin powder just dries down matronly and ages me.”
5/5 Value“Honorable mentions: Bath & Body Works sprays are crazy good now as most of them are dupes. For example, I have Delina by PDM and the Roses body spray at BBW smells identical. That one is more floral than fruity Doubled the vote for Heiress by Paris Hilton (you can get this at Ross!) EDP wise I would suggest sampler packs for this price range. Seven virtues is often on sale for $25ish and almost every scent in the range is divine”
2/5“I don't like it on me, but I love catching a whiff of Delina. 🩷”
1/5 Headaches“Delina is disgusting on my skin….its sooo sharp and tart. Instant migraine.”
3/5 Value“Tried Delina and OMG I loved it and bought it. When the cashier rang it up I almost died because I had no idea it would be so expensive. When I ran out of Delina I bought a 3 bottle set that included Delina, Delina Exclusif and Valaya. Hated Exclusif with all my heart and didn't wear it for a long time.”
5/5 Value“I love Delina too. The Exclusif makes me think Pink Princess Castle. I need to try Noir de Noir. I own Armaf Club de Nuite Intense Woman which is incredible, and apparently a dupe of Noire de Noire. Probably one of the few Middle Easterns I own that I would genuinely mistake for a $400 niche fragrance.”
5/5“Delina or its dupes…sometimes on my skin can be so sharp and even veer towards burning rubber. It's probably the rhubarb because MJ Perfect can do the same.”
5/5“Rose of No man's Land by Byredo, Mancera Greedy Roses or Roses Vanille, PDM >!Delina!<, à la rose, Chloe Roses, and Rose Amira by Guerlain is absolutely beautiful. All I own and absolutely adore.”
4/5“I also love Delina and have a FB of it, and Delina Exclusif is one of my all time favourites and i of course have FB of that as well! I hate PDMs pink tax but these three bottles are unlikely to ever leave my collection because of how good they smell!”
4/5“Delina is fine. I like it. I own a bottle. It's not something I ever reach for, though. I'll probably give it away soon.”
3/5 ValueHeadaches“I hated Delina, tried Exclusif and got a FB on Mercari since it's sooooo expensive. Thought I loved both of the Valayas when I got the decants but then I went off them. Screechy and nauseating to my nose now. Exclusif is still one of my favorite bottles in my collection.”
5/5“I have decants of Delina and Delina Exclusif, FBs of La Rosee and Valaya. These all Delina while beautiful is always a violent assault on my nostrils at first spray with its vibrancy. Prominent lychee and beautiful pink roses, a very bright and vivacious perfume. Pink Blush Elixir is nothing alike to the Delina sisters other than longevity”
5/5 Longevity“I have large delina, small delina exclusif, large valaya, travel valaya exclusif. I LOVE delina, it smells like a hair salon almost to me and the scent you can't replicate no matter how hard you try. However, it doesn't last very long on me.”
5/5 Sweetness“i recently got a sample of this and delina, they're easily two of the best scents i've tried all year. oriana is such a princess scent like you said! it's the perfect sophisticated sweet scent, i'm obsessed and using my tiny sample very sparingly lol”
1/5 Value“Disagree with you about dupes...it makes fragrance pleasure accessible to everyone. I could afford a $400 perfume if I wanted but it seems so stupid to me when I have bigger bills to pay and unfair to most people who cant drop that kind of money. I dont want to spend $400 on a fragrance. I agree with you that Bisch at this point is just remaking Delina over and over again. It's boring and lazy. Enough with the rose scents from him already! And I hate the wood note he added to Angel Nova. Terrible!”
5/5 LongevitySweetness“https://preview.redd.it/7s1hm29xlbzg1.jpeg?width=1320&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3956bf9dba94cfb05c7d34b0144b376b9548bb49  Parfums de Marley Delina. I find this fragrance to be fresh and cheerful, and I can't help but smile every time I wear it!! The rhubarb and rose blend beautifully and kind of remind me of sweet tarts! Longevity is excellent - a couple of morning sprays last all day. Projection is perfect - just enough for my husband to notice. He comments, “Ooooo, you smell so nice!” EVERY time I wear Delina!! Have a lovely day!!”
4/5“Phlur sometimes gets a lot of hate on here but their Rose Whip is what convinced me that maybe I enjoy (some) rose frags after all! It's blackcurrant and pepper over a woodsy base to balance out the florals. Also, obligatory rec for Delina as the ultimate rose frag. I would never spend that much money on a FSB but I did thoroughly enjoy a small sample I got of it!”
4/5 Formal“This exactly! My scent changes just like my clothing and mood does. Some days, I'm more formal, others way more casual. I like to march my scents to the weather, what I'm wearing, my mood, etc, so I just lean into the “you always smell good” rather than “you always smell like Delina”. It keeps life more fun!”
5/5“La Rosee is actually on my try list! I have been eyeballing this one along with Exclusif after I really enjoyed Delina. I love the idea of layering them!”
4/5“Covered in roses smells almost exactly like Delina and I own both!!! Only one I've smelt that's really worth it to me”
5/5“I actually got a decant of Oriana as well,so I've smelled it on me! My coworker keeps dissuading me from Delina bc so many people have it,but I do enjoy it,even as a rose hater. My mom loves the oriana,it's definitely fluffier and more gourmand. I really think I'm going to order a decant of Athenais first before I decide! How does it smell to you?”
5/5“I loved the novelty of Delina at first. So much so that I bought a full bottle! I think I over sprayed one day and now I cannot stand the smell. So strange!”
5/5“I have a 10 ml decant of Delina & Delina Exclusif and the 75 ml of both Valaya & Valaya Exclusif. I rarely reach for either version of Delina, but I'm not a huge pink floral fan. I *do* think they're both lovely and -based on what you already own - I think you would love either.”
5/5“My husband loves Diptyque Eau Rose and PDM Delina on me, so I guess he has a thing for rose-litchi fragrances”
2/5 Unique“It's original Delina during warmer weather and Exclusif during cooler temps for me. I didn't like them at all when I first smelled them, but on me, hits so different.”
5/5 LongevitySweetness“https://preview.redd.it/gwim9jwggbzg1.jpeg?width=1320&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fba4a51af7bb8728370e1bf62995f2d58eabbec4 Parfums de Marley Delina.

2/5 SweetnessValue“I got a sample of Delina for $25 convinced I was going to love it and I'm so glad I only got the sample. Ugh fake rose so sickening sweet...no way.”
5/5“Can't Get Enough and Lust in Paradise are sort of “Delina-adjacent” so def test first. And Fleur Narcotique Extrait is one of the best things I have smelled all year. Still love the OG but rarely reach for it since adding the extrait.”
