Honest review of Parfums De Marly Delina perfume
As a beauty editor, I’m lucky enough to try a lot of fragrances. I currently have about 60 in my collection, but there’s one that gets me the most compliments every time I wear it, and that’s De Marly Delina Perfume perfume. It was launched in 2017, but interest in Delina has never been higher. There are 60,000 searches for Delina perfume on TikTok every month (so it’s no surprise it went viral on TikTok) and nearly 15,000 searches on Google. Stats aside, even Snoop Dogg has claimed that he always has a bottle of the French perfume in his bag in the biggest perfume twist of 2024. So, what does the internet-famous Delina perfume smell like? Scroll down to read our full review of the Parfums De Marly scent.
Parfums De Marly Delina Perfume Review
De Marly Perfume
Delina Eau de Parfum
Key Notes: Rhubarb, Lychee, Lily of the Valley, Bergamot Absolute, Damascena Rose, Peony, Vanilla, Cashmeran, Musk, Vetiver
Advantage: Fruity-floral fragrance, cute and feminine scent, long lasting, praised by users
Defect: Expensive
Customer reviews: “Try it and you’ll never want to wear anything else on your body again. It’s sweet but in a balanced way and not too overpowering… but it will have people turning to ask what you’re wearing. It grabs attention when you walk into a room—an absolute people magnet.”
What does Delina smell like?
Delina is a fruity fragrance, and what makes this one special is the projection. Just a few sprays and you’re enveloped in a layer of rose, rhubarb, lychee and peony, and even hours after spraying, I still get compliments from others as it dries down to a subtle vanilla, musk and cashmere with a hint of vetiver.
To me, this scent is mostly rose and lychee with a touch of powdery. When I wear it, it transports me to an 18th-century bathroom filled with bouquets of roses and fluffy powder puffs that release clouds of powdery scent into the air—I feel like Marie Antoinette would approve of this scent and its pretty bottle. When I recently ran into celebrity manicurist Iram Shelton (who often uses Delina-scented body products during her manicures), she said the scent made her feel “like a princess.” And I have to agree.
That doesn’t mean this scent is outdated, though. Instead, it’s feminine, modern, and well-balanced. It’s not too sweet or floral—it’s a crowd-pleasing scent that’s sure to have people asking what you’re wearing.
How long does Delina last?
