**UPDATE** When I say this has become an automatic grab for me, it is easily top 3 in my collection! It's feminine, it's floral--but not in an overly old-lady floral way--a true compliment magnet! I feel like a million bucks each time I wear this. Are there similar profiles? Probably. But this as a stand alone is an instant fave of mine. Trying to buy a back up bottle as we speak! ______________________________________ Do you like Carmina but hate the price—this is your fragrance. I wore this for the first time today and got complimented! The initial spray is kinda funky and for the first few minutes it was hard for my nose to find a place to land—but it gets there. I get flowers, and this sweet fruit note in there. Totally underrated.

This is like a mix of Parfums de Marly Delina Exclusif and Guerlain Aqua Allegoria Flora Rosa. It has the same DNA as Delina Exclusif: same, lipstick rose, but it's more fresh, tart and watery due to the added raspberry (which adds Flora Rosa DNA) and blueberry. It's not as powdery as Delina Exclusif, and it has a slighy pink bubblegum note. It's a more summery perfume, not quite as dense as Delina Exclusif. Good quality, very feminine. Not a full-on dupe. I like it - 4.5 :) Not sure why the ratings are so low - it is not at all a bad perfume if you want a sweet, lipstick rose-raspberry perfume. I usually don't even like raspberry in perfumes, but this one is strangely addictive - I come back to it from time to time.
