So, after a thorough search and research, I decided to pen down this article and mention the top fragrances similar to the much beloved Delina.

If you want the best alternatives to this iconic scent, keep reading, my friend.

Perfumes Similar To Delina

What Does Parfums de Marly Delina Smell Like?

Before I tell you about perfumes similar to Delina, it is vital that I break down the iconic scent itself and its brief history.

Introduced to the world by Parfums de Marly, Delina was curated by perfumer Quentin Bisch in 2017.

The delightful scent gained massive popularity within a short span after its release. I believe, at present, it can be safely said that Delina is Parfums de Marly’s signature scent.

Notes

Top notes: Litchi, Bergamot, Nutmeg, Rhubarb

Middle Notes: Turkish Rose, Peony, Musk, Vanilla, Petalia

Base Notes: Cedarwood, Cashmeran, Haitian Vetiver, Incense.

The perfume starts with a pleasant floral scent, with the touch of litchi adding an interesting flavor.

The Turkish rose and vanilla blend effortlessly, creating a floral scent that is not as strong as a rose but sweet and elegant.

The base notes tie everything down and give a velvety feel to the scent as it dries down. Overall, the fragrance is a sensory masterpiece.

It is ideal for spring, summer, and autumn seasons. However, it can be worn all year round.

Delina works nicely in any setting and flatters the user, whether going for a stroll on a warm spring day or relaxing in the house with loved ones while drinking tea on a gloomy day.

Even though Delina can be worn all year round, I recommend you avoid wearing it when it’s very hot outside – because of how opulent it is, the scent might get sort of icky.
