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

If you don't like roses, do not buy this. But if you do, like I do, do not hesitate, because this is heavenly without the cloying heaviness of Arab perfumes. It smells like Japanese roses (Rosa rugosa) and is fresh, sweet, and slightly sour without immaturity. It's quite elegant. I like it, but I don't see the resemblance with Parfums de Marly. Sorry.

First off, I'm a man, and got this as a sample. It was love at first whiff. I've never smelt PDM's Delina, but there's little room for improvement if this smells as good as it does. And boy does it last! This is the stuff of dreams. If I smelt this on a woman, I'd rush to buy her a ring. Only Lancôme's Hypnose makes me feel a similar way.

If anybody has Delina AND Floral Bouqet can you let me know if the rhubarb is detectable in here? I have Delina but I want to buy a more affordable dupe and most dupes don’t have rhubarb in them which is the note I adore the most in Delina. Pls let a girl know 😊xx

Smells so good no I wouldn’t say this like DELINA this more of a fruity musky with a note I can’t distinct that’s intoxicating reminds me of Mind games in a way. Definitely recommend nice floral fruity woman scent with rose prominent.

This is a very powerful one. It is rather similar to Delina Exclusif due to its stronger balsamic notes. The original Delina is more balanced and round. Long-lasting and projects like a beast. Good stuff.

Love this I wear this for a wedding a few weeks ago I spray a couple of times and it lasts all night 🥰

Beautiful. I’m very happy with this interpretation of Delina. I would definitely recommend it

Very elegant floral bouquet. Long lasting and good created. The bottle is beautiful too.

On me, this one is beast mode. Great projection and stays forever. I love it.

Long lasting, it last all day when you spray on clothes. Just a great deal

Wow Delina on a budget 😂 so good

Afnan’s Souvenir Floral Bouquet, at first spray, has a quick moment of alcohol before a loud, sharp rhubarb which nearly drowns out the litchi and is accompanied by a bold characteristic I can only describe as a “dryness,” something artificial or chemical. It's sweet but quite a bit less sweet than Parfums de Marly's Delina. Certainly ASFB is more tart. That combined with a deep musk that makes ASFB more wearable for someone like me (a bit darker and edgier vibe). On the dry down, the rose amplifies, the fragrance warms up a bit, and a vanilla-like sweetness comes through. Here it is extremely similar to PDMD, but a bit “louder.” Parfums de Marly’s Delina opens with a sweet and well rounded rose and rhubarb. Going into the heart of the fragrance, there's a faint whiff of some kind of lightly dusted pink bubblegum. After the dry down it smells like roses, litchi, rhubarb, vanilla wafers, and hints of strawberry and pink bubblegum. It is well blended, in my opinion, and quite nice. PDMD would be a great choice for someone younger or someone who is girlier, and does have a more “expensive” smell, if that's your thing. PDMD has a good longevity and sillage, but I think the ASFB lasts a surprisingly long time and lingers on everything. I was catching whiffs of it for at least two days after wearing it. I have heard that ASFB is best if you spritz it a couple times and let it macerate in a cool, dark place for a couple of weeks. The above is my first impression 48 hours after receiving the bottle, no maceration. I suspect that chemical “dryness” might die down after the maceration process. Between the two, there are more similarities than differences, I feel. Especially after the dry down. There would be no reason to own both unless you were collecting them for the bottles. You could wear ASFB, tell someone it was PDMD and I suspect they would never know the difference. I'm not sure I'd describe PDMD as “office safe,” but ASFB is definitely “office unsafe” due to the immense volume and projection that it has. I will probably use ASFB to boost what I have left of PDMD, but I would not purchase a bottle of PDMD because I'm satisfied enough with ASFB, even though I'm slightly put off by the dry chemical note that I mentioned. Finally, I do prefer the bottle for ASFB. I think the concept is interesting, and I'm not really a "pink girl."

Very beautiful packaging, box and bottle. Applied on skin, i feel absolutly many fresh white roses and then sweetness litchi what makes the fragrance good and different from other rose fragrances. Luckly because i dont like rose parfums too fresh and open, they hurt inside my nose. This fragrance is 80% good, i can feel it on myself, like it pulses wave of discreet fragrance every 1 minute, it just dont change on skin since i spray it 6h ago. About buying it, i feel a little disapointed i dont feel the amber, musk, the creamy dry or powder side that i like so much to have, but in the other side, this is a special soft fragrance, and im happy to have it, good for eveyday, it wont bother the others and may let the others wondering the lightness and interesting parfum. Is that parfum you will miss 6 months after its finished.

this is a heavy rose perfume not of the rose overdose but from the strong amber. Lasts more than 8hs. I bought it just to try it cause i wanted a rose perfume and it is indeed a nice perfume although not very my taste. The amber makes it project beastly on my skin and it's a bit overwhelming over time. overall a very nice perfume which for its price i can recommend it with eyes closed.

An excellent homage to Delina; rhubarb, tea roses, litchi, and pink pepper, all leans sweet and fuzzy. Dries down into a sweet and powdery musk. Projects very strongly, well above arms' length on me. Can be worn all year long.

If you like the opening of Delina, you'll like this. On me, this is the rhubarb, lichi, pink pepper, and tea rose opener of Delina made slightly fuzzier and dragged out through the 6+ hour wear time. Like Delina, this accord can pull sour or go bug spray on the wrong day. The wearing experience of Souvenir is more predictable on my skin - it's not as likely to go full on bug spray in the way Delina does. And when it does, the bug spray phase is much shorter. I have to be in the mood for this scent profile, then hope that my skin decides to cooperate. For a low enough price (under $40) - this would be worth trying if you were curious about Delina but had no interest in spending hundreds of dollars.

When I saw review here I bought as blindbuy... I tried it the opening notes are nice... but when it long wearing the smell diff .. not nice ... smell ugly .. I am being truth here .. first spray around first 3 hours but when it long like 7-8 hours the smell bad .. I don’t when because it’s hot weather but I am using the AC max so it’s not hot... maybe this perfume is for winter time

I just received my bottle today and I’m a tad bit disappointed that it smells just like Delina, but a little bit screechy. I hope hoping that it would have a slight distinction.

Uuuf, I sold my Rose Extase because of it's dryness and got this one that's even drier :( Rose extase had such a fluffy, gorgeous opening that i couldn t find in any other perfume. But the drydown killed my enthusiasm. This one reminds me of RE's drydown from the begining to the end. Not bad though. Maybe I don't do it justice by judging it around Christmas time. I'll wait by summer and see if I change my mind. But, as a general opinion, looks like Delina/RE/Souvenir are not my cup of tea, though...

Thank God I could get rid of this. Someone else definitely enjoyed it while I hated it. Sometimes perfumers try too much in the desperation of coming up with smth different. The opening has such a sour, chocky, heavy note (as I understand could be the rhubarb). I have tried so many perfumes saying they are similar to the mighty Delina but never smelled that one. If Delina has this rough, screetchy opening like this one...what a disappointment to me. Hard pass! Horrible!

I wanted to like it but to my nose this perfume stinks. I couldn’t stand the smell at all. It maybe the musky or grassy spice or something. It doesn’t smell like Delina to me at all. I ignored the bad reviews before I bought. Some fragrances are just meh but this one I just couldn’t stand. Be aware of the bad reviews.

It’s dry, rosy, mature, irritating and I dont smell anything fruity. It has a powerful sillage because it definitely gave me a headache.

This is really spicy and woody to me. I’m not really picking up and fruity or floral.

This is very musky and lemony. On its own it unfortunately smells like a sweet lemon/lemonade scented cleaning product. Personally, I have been spraying this on top of Raghba Wood Intense from Lattafa, and both together *on my skin* end up smelling like a home made spiced lemon cake with slightly burnt outer edges lol But to be completely honest, in both this one and Souvenir Desert Rose, there is something that smells like Aerosol (the flammable gas smell in hair sprays) and It's very bothersome I just cannot shake it off. For that reason, every time I try to layer these two perfumes with others in my collection I just feel like I am wasting my other perfumes trying to make these work. So yeah, I think if I still want that lemon cake smell I will be looking for something better to layer with my lattafa's fragrance.

For me, this scent is like biting into a fruit that is really not ripe enough, astringent, sour and pungent. I find it extremely irritating to my taste. I think it's the rhubarb that does it, but I'm not sure because I've smelled it in other flavors and it was quite harmonious and subtle. Anyway, this top note stays all day and takes all the space, from start to finish, so I'm not able to smell the other smells at their true value, except for the rose which is really intense too. It gives a rose that still has its thorns and it scratches your nostrils. Or at least mine.

Are all previous reviews fake? Because it smells terrible and is absolutely identical to Club de Nuit White Imperiale Armaf, they must be poured from the same barrel. I never write negative reviews on perfumes because we all have our own tastes, but this "perfume" is a waste of money, maybe this review will help someone not to buy this 💩 that can't be washed off the skin and this smell gave me a headache.

I got this because I love every single note that's in this fragrance, and I love Delina, But I should have paid attention to the overall rating on fragrantica. It's usually a pretty good indicator of whether or not the fragrance is safe to blind buy. Even with such beautiful notes, to me, they are not blended well at all. It's kind of a screechy cluster F

this is not a floral bouquet. This is a grass and spices bouquet. I cant detect any roses, only the bergamot and amber. I also smell some weird spices going on my skin. Buy this if you want to smell vintage but i only smell spices dan green grass not much flower.

I got this because of the comparison to Delina. Holy heck this STINKS! all I smell is the musky green note, smells almost like B.O. giving the same green vibes I don’t like from Santal33! Yuck! Does anyone wants my bottle ?

I was so hyped for that one, but did not like it at all. The powderness smells more like dirty dry dust, with an overpowering sweet and somehow acid lychee on top. Want to toss it, because I cant stand it :((
