Delina La Rosée by Parfums de Marly
Floral Fruity
Quentin Bisch
Parfums de Marly started to make 30ml cute minis of their best-selling fragrances. I thoroughly enjoy the Delina line, especially the original Delina; however, La Rosée was the only one I have not laid my nose on yet. As 30ml is a perfect size to blind buy and try out a new fragrance, I have it now. It is an adorable, super-cute bottle, and the juice inside is magnificent too.
It leans fresh and aquatic but surprisingly juicy and fruity. I mostly get litchi and bergamot, and they are stunning. Rose is accompanied by peony, which softens the typical smell of rose, which can be harsh in some cases. The base is musky; but interestingly, the fruits and florals do not vanish and stay with you the entire wear.
It is a spring-summer fragrance and you have to spray quite a lot to have a decent projection and lasting power. I think I am going to run through this perfume pretty quickly. And that is the reason why I prefer the original Delina. It has more presence. Delina OG does not perform as a body splash for summer but stands firm.
To avoid any misconceptions I do not think Delina La Rosée smells like a summer body mist. It smells elevated and luxurious. Like a rich sweet girl. I picture somebody petite with an edge like Nicole Richie. All I wanted to say is that it does not have the strength of Delina or Delina Exclusif and for that reason, I prefer OG Delina to La Rosée because it is a more signature-worthy, all-year-round kind of scent.
But I subjectively give Delina La Rosee higher marks because it brings me back to the very hot Otok Dugi in Creatia I recently came back from. The island is wild. It is sparsely inhabited with many national parks and beautiful coasts. A true paradise for active people looking for a non-commercial gate away. Rosee was perfect for that. Every time I see the coast, I feel La Rosee in the air.
