Our take
What does Delina Exclusif smell like?
Delina Exclusif, launched in 2018 and composed by Quentin Bisch, pushes Delina in a darker, richer direction. The opening stays fruity and sparkling, with juicy lychee, soft pear, bergamot and pink pepper. The heart shifts register: the rose takes on woody oud and smoky incense, giving it an almost oriental depth. Vanilla, amber, musk and vetiver in the base create a dense, silky warmth. At parfum concentration, its longevity and presence are remarkable. It feels like an evening rose draped in purple velvet, more solemn than the original. The oud remains polished rather than barnyard, a woody shadow behind the petals.
When to wear it
For winter evenings and major occasions; it appeals to those who find Delina too polite.
It belongs to the Floral family. Delina Exclusif is one of 40 creations by Parfums de Marly in our encyclopedia.
