Souvenir Floral Bouquet

I realize that my review will not get me a win in popularity contest and that's not my aim here. Driven by ample raving reviews praising this juice for its quality, sillage and longevity I decided to blind buy it. Sadly, it brought absolutely nothing into my olfactory world. I definitely purchased a genuine fragrance from an Afnan authorised distributor, and upon application I expected butterflies. All I got was a linear rose-musk combo that projected incredibly poorly and lasted a mere one hour. Complete and utter disappointment which sadly taught me that reviews and votes in sillage and longevity categories must never be relied upon, as my own experience is a contradiction of everything I've read here about Souvenir Floral Bouquet. It's the biggest let-down in my entire fragrance collection. To sum it up, overpriced, overhyped, underwhelming lacklustre juice. I own air fresheners that are far more exciting and last longer. Edit: I'm not sure if some magic happened but having left it on the bottom of my perfume wardrobe for about a year, I decided to give it another go. Oh my world. I sensed an utter bliss. It smells nothing like what I recall from a year ago. Projection and longevity improved immensely and instead of a linear rose, I can smell a dewy rose at dawn, romantic, in full bloom, seductive, feminine. What an incredible surprise. Either my nose has changed or the fragrance evolved. Either way, it's a love relationship from now on.

So I currently owned the original Delina as well as Souvenir Rose Bouquet. When I initially smelt Afnan's offering I did immediately say that it smelled just like Delina and was an exact dupe. However when I got it home and smelt them side-by-side I did see the differences so it's not 100% However for me I would say Delina is a beautiful power forward bridal scent light Airy but still projects! While Souvenir Rose Bouquet is the older business forward sister who has a clipboard and is making a list and checking the budget twice😉 Upon initial spray I pick up the peony the rhubarb and the sweet fruity litchi🥰 as it dries down I get more of the musk and the Amber and it's really not until hours 3 to 8 that I smell the rose and a bit of incense the rhubarb stays with me throughout 💗 I absolutely adore this fragrance it's definitely a boss chick ramped-up Delina..... On clothes I would absolutely say this is pretty Eternal especially if you're a heavy sprayer!! There was a jacket that I wore last week that I had sprayed it on and I picked it up to put in dry cleaning and I could still smell this ....it's a beast I love it as an all-day work fragrance a girls night out fragrance a powerful business meeting scent .....whereas I wear Delina when I want to smell feminine flirty yet "ok hubby I mean business" so a long-awaited date night 🤣

I love this SOOOO MUCH. I love it for the scent itself, I bought because everyone says it's a dupe for Delina, I do own Delina La Rosee but I don't own the OG. I actually never even sniffed it, and YES, I picked the Delina DNA in it. Delina La Rosee is a wonderful fragrance, it's not comparable to SB because it doesn't have that rhubarb note so it's lighter and fruitier, but due to my love of La Rosee I was very curious to know what the OG smells like - and I'll probably get the real deal eventually because I'm definitely a Delina girl. But let's get back to Souvenir Bouquet. I love when we fall in love with a fragrance despite being a dupe or not. And I do love this one. I have it for one month or so by now, and it probably has to macerate because it's not beast mode or long lasting on my skin. I actually get a bit anosmic, which is a shame. From the opening till now I did notice that this fragrance is more rounded and one of the sharp notes (probably rhubarb?) it's more mild and pleasant. I want to let it sit for a while but I just can't haha. I want to wear it everyday - is fresh, is signature, and it'll be probably not my only bottle of this one. I only hope it gets better performance and last longer, but I'm not a fortunate who has skin that every perfume delivers its best projection and longevity, tbh.

This had a really weird pungent and almost unpleasant smell in the background to my nose when I first bought it about a month ago. I put it up in the dark corner of my closet and hoped something would change. I loved everything about it but it had that one weird hint of something unpleasant. The bottle was also almost boiling hot when I received it in the mail (I live in Florida) so I wonder if that had something to do with it. Anyways, I tried it again today and was so happy that unpleasantness was gone! This is such a beautiful deep rose scent. I feel so grown and sexy when I wear it. Update: so I was feeling brave and wanted to try layering this fragrance and I’m kind of shocked at how well fcuk for her works with this. It smooths it out quite nicely! Update 2: I also made the bold decision to layer this with Parfum de Cerise (TF LS dupe) from Montagne. I don’t know what possessed me, but I have gotten DOZENS of compliments at the 2 stores I visited while wearing this concoction! Seriously, like 7 out of 10 people who walked by me or stood near me complimented my fragrance. I feel like a mad genius!

I love this perfume. It definitely reminds me of Delina. It is 95% Delina. I read a commenter who said this smells like Club de Nuit Imperial ... No ! They don’t smell the same. This is Delina while Club de Nuit Imperial is Delina Exclusif. Club de Nuit is so sweet while SB is tart and fresh. I can wear this on a hot day or in a warm country but with CDNI I cannot because it’s too sweet. I love the tartness in SB. I love tart scents and if you are in a hot country tart scents are good, sweet scents are impossible to wear. This perfume has a very good longevity, it last a lot plus the silage is strong. Everyone can smell me. I was surprised when my sister in law said it smells so divine when she was going down the stairs while I was on the ground floor. She smelt it from the first few stairs from the second floor.I already received so many compliments saying I smell so good. My Brother in law kept asking me to give him my bottle as he really liked the smell. This is one of my top perfumes.

Voluminous ROSE-LITCHI with Piquant RHUBARB. This is a dupe of Delina Parfums de Marly with good overall approximation and excellent performance with dark storage for a few weeks/months after first sprays. Opens with a fruity burst of rhubarb & litchi supported by multi-faceted bergamot, with tropical, fruity, sweet, tart, citrus & green tones. That continues & deepens into the rose & vanilla heart with powdery, velvety, floral, fluffy & vanillic tones, all resting on a musky amber-wood base. Rhubarb here adding a touch of piquancy to the voluminous, velvety & tropical rose-litchi. Although this dupe has good approximation overall to Delina Parfums de Marly, if we're splitting hairs, reviewers have got it right in the notes voting and the rhubarb is dialed slightly higher than the litchi in Delina Parfums de Marly, but as the bottle ages the sharper citrus tones of rhubarb subside a little making it a dead ringer. Overall it's a gorgeous, affordable dupe, and a love for me. Enjoy!

Here I am writing this review and in front of me a paper sample for Delina. All I can say is AFNAN souvenir floral bouquet is a very good deal. It is a beautiful fragrance, all most identical to delina with a fraction of its price. Yes I agree it is louder but you can easily control this by limiting the number of the sprays. Delina is gorgeous, well rounded fluffy fragrance but I can’t imagine myself spending 300$ to 400$ for a fruity rose fragrance. The difference is that I can detect ( in afnan souvenir) a sharp green peppery note that smells like freshly cut flower stem which can be annoying to some people , and there is also a hidden musky note ( that we all Arabs in the gulf know very well ) that created the base of all the Arabic perfumes back in the early 2000’s. But that doesn’t bother me .. I think this perfume is really beautiful and it gives me the pretty girl vibe .

Wow, I am shocked in a good way. I've never really tried many Middle Eastern fragrances. I tend to like niche and indie scents and just thought that because they are so affordable, they wouldn't be as good. But I was wrong! I should add that I have a tester bottle of this. Some people say that testers smell better but I don't know if that's true. This is an impressive dupe of Delina, but I honestly like it better than Delina. I enjoy Delina and love rose fragrances but it was just a bit too overly fluffy for me, for lack of a better word. Almost too feminine but beautiful. This Afnan fragrance is like Delina but a bit warmer which I love. The amber and musk in the base are so lovely. I have a decant of Delina and did a smell test and they are so much alike. I plan to get a lot of wear out of this.

Ok i have never smelled delina! I want to i just never did, So i cant say how these compare. But i can tell you this is very beautiful. I get mainly rose, ( which is fine with me, i have discovered i am definitely a rose fan:-) Im not great at picking out the individual notes, but i can say this is a great combo of both bright and uplifting, and a bit sensual/mysterious. Another word that comes to mind is tangy, it has a distinct tartness that i really enjoy, and i like sweet gourmands as well, but sometimes it i crave a break from sweet vanillas/jasmine. It is a beast in longevity. This is one i would wear if i want to make sure my scent stays with me for hours- like say a long day where you know you will have very little time to refresh. It feels clean pretty classy and just a smidge sensual.

I love this perfume. Having smelled Delina and Souvenir Floral back to back, they are 90% a match, and this is at a much nicer price tag. When I first sprayed it, I was shocked to realize a few sprays are enough to fill a room and it lasts all day, eternally on clothes or bedsheets. I detect a powder note that is really prevalent but the fruitiness of the rhubarb and lychee is enough to make it not too mature like so many rose fragrances. I will say it is heavy, and some might say better suited for colder weather, but I think (at least in my climate) it’s performance would merit wear in ward weather. If I had a signature scent, it may be this.

Recently fell in love with Delina and knew I had to find a dupe because I couldn’t imagine paying that $300 price tag again. This perfume is definitely a 90% dupe I’m in love. the opening is a slightly sharp lemon scent , but it goes away within a couple seconds , and then it changes to that iconic airy rose that Delina has then later on you will get this Jammy rose, and mix of rose and red berries and litchi. Exactly like Delina. Compared side by side you do smell a slight difference. But to others they would never be able to smell the difference between the two on you.

I just came home from a party. I could have sworn that an acquaintance was wearing Delina. It's such a recognizable scent, I was shocked to find out that she was wearing Afnan's Souvenir Floral Bouquet instead. On her, the scent was so much like Delina, that the lychee and rhubarb notes were unmistakable. This is probably the best dupe I ever came across. If I wasn't such a perfume snob, I probably would buy a bottle. Now I am curious about the whole collection. What else have they duped?

I am so glad I finally bought this because it is 99.0% Delina. I love that I can actually smell the rhubarb in this. I also want to get Rose 01 by Swiss Arabian at some point as it’s supposed to be another excellent dupe of Delina but I decided to go with Afnan because this perfume was heavily discounted. I am not the biggest fan of the bottle because it upside down but I love love love the atomiser! It’s very satisfying to spray. So all in all, excellent dupe for Delina 👌

Bought this for my partner and here is my review ladies, the opening lemon is slightly sharp, but it goes away within 15min, and then it changes to a very airy rose, not sharp but airy and smooth, then later on you will get this Jammy rose, a mixture of rose and red berries/litchi i guess, on the last stage there is a woody undertone. This is not linear at all! very complex, and this is a beast mode fragrance! it projects even until late dry down!

I really like this one. The overall vibe is very similar to Delina. Is it a substitute? Yes, I think it can be if you want something much more affordable in the same family. It’s not as refined, but still a beautiful fragrance. I would prefer it if it were a bit softer, as it leans quite strong for everyday or office wear. It has that same presence as Delina, which can feel a little much for daily use. Overall, a big thumbs up. I really enjoy it.

Esta aroma me gusta tanto que la utilizo muy poco para que no se gaste 🤭 (me costó mucho conseguirla en Vzla). Es primaveral y veraniega, es dulce pero cítrica, está tan bien equilibrada que es una delicia para mí olfato! Es una aroma elegante y a su vez informal. El frasco es bellísimo. Es cierto que no es un perfume para comprar a ciegas pero a la que le guste habrá encontrado una de sus fragancias favoritas.

For me its like a sweet rose with a musky scent. Gave it to my wife as a present. She dont like it on the day deliverd to the house the whole box and perfume is still hot its smells like dead rose and chemically. But the next day she tested it again she loves it and wears it on her work. The longevity is quite good 6-7 hrs on her skin, but sometimes it goes 8hrs on her she said. Great Blind buy again. 👍👍👍

Tried this side by side with Delina and they are really identical to me. I ended up telling my family not to get to me delina for Xmas because this one is so close I can’t justify it. It opens as a jammy, powdery rose, and then softens on the dry down to something sweet and powdery. I normally like more brooding fragrances but this is just pretty and smells expensive.

After getting the refillable 30ml delina, I can now make comparison. Unfortunately on me, the incense and rhubarb pulls very strongly more than the other notes. Floral bouquet has that similar rose but it's mixed with some woodiness. That can be weird for some but the combination of the sweet rose and a little woodiness is what makes it interesting to me.

I have Delina and Rose 01, and I got this one for a good price, I definitely like it, but to me Delina is way softer and this one has a bitterness... I would say this is 80% dupe of Delina... and it’s like a mix of Delina and Erba Pura dna. If anyone is looking for a dupe of OG Delina, I would recommend to get Rose 01 from Swiss Arabian in stead of this
