Safa

I only have a sample of this one, however this is probably one of my favorites of the Delina inspirations. I don't have the OG to compare however Safa is beautiful and smooth and lasted ALL day on me I kept smelling it and smelling it hours later it's very pretty and feminine like a princess perfume. I don't really know if I'll get the full bottle of it yet because I have "covered in roses" from bath and body works I got for like $6 and even the body spray is long lasting so I don't really need more.. but if you like the Delina DNA definitely consider this and the bottle is cute too since I have Uhud I really enjoy these bottles I kind of want it just for that..

No need to weave poetic... this is literally Armaf's 'Club de Nuit White Imperiale' repackaged (aka a 'Delina Exclusif' dupe). I absolutely adore this scent profile, as does my partner. There is no difference between this one and Armaf. I can't even tell which one has better longevity or sillage. Tl;dr: Safa is a super high quality, classy dupe of Delina Exclusif. If you want a less sweet, more powdery yet still youthful version definitely go for Khadlaj Rose Couture.

I only received it today. The main notes I get are green floral, sweet and fruity. I don't love it. I was hoping for more. It smells like any other sweet floral designer fragrance that I can get at the chemist. I'm hoping it gets better with maceration. Edited a few months later. I now love this fragrance. I just had to wait a bit.

This surprised me, there’s more rose than I expected and normally I don’t love that, but it’s gorgeous. Ultra feminine, delicate enough for my daughter to wear a spritz now and then (she’s 9) but mature enough for me too - it’s super long lasting as well, very good value. When I think of an elegant lady or “Duchess” I think Safa.

I have Delina exclusif and the difference between the two is hardly noticeable. I think the delina exclusif is a little less sharpe but nobody would notice. Longevity is really good and so is the projection. This is a fantastic dupe. I’d just bought a second bottle of delina exclusif when I found this, I’m now a little miffed.

I agree with Gemini Erica about this being a really good Delina Exclusif inspired by perfume (not a dupe!). To my nose it definitely carries a powdery quality despite there being no iris or violet notes. A lovely perfume that is strong and soft at the same time.

Better than Delina exclusif 100% I love the hazelnut and the creaminess!!!

I have several dupes of Delina Exclusif, and Safa is my favorite. Both Delina Exclusif, Ameerat Al Arab Privee Rose, and Club De Imperiale seem to have a note that seems almost acidic. Ameerat Al arab does lose that note partly, but it took many moths of maturation for me. I don't get that note from Safa at all. Safa seems to be the smoothest of them all, which is why I prefer it. Although I won't buy a full bottle - Ameerat Al arab Prive Rose issuer similar, now that it has matured. If I ever use up the whole bottle (I can't imagine I would), I'd buy Safa though. Safa is the least sweet of them, which is a GOOD thing. The nutty note adds a really pleasant creaminess, while the rest of the perfumes have a slight greenness, or even slight soapiness. The red fruits in here add a really good touch - it's a much better choice than the bergamot and grapefruit notes of Delina Exclusif. Magnolia adds a very pleasant, non-watery freshness. It's just a really, really good perfume. It smells better quality than Delina Exclusif.

This is the first scent I've tried inspired by delina exclusif and yes it is pretty. I mostly get litchi and rose combo throughout the scent journey. There is some tartness in the opening which I dislike though. It stays for like 5mins and then you get this linear juicy rose scent till the end. Good thing the rose here is the elegant pink rose. The sweet rose note reminds me a bit of opening on noble blush - which is my favorite floral perfume. Dry down has a bit of powdery and soapiness too.

Similar to DE. And much better than Rose Couture. However, unless you are really into that type of DNA; this is not a safe blind buy. It has quite a good - I would dare say close to beast mode- performance and sillage, stays for about 6-7 hours on skin and fills the room with 2-3 sprays. The scent however is a bit much. The rose, the lychee, the flowers and the berries are amazing. But the hazelnut - which does not feel like hazelnut, but rather a very creamy and varied assortment of different nuts and lots of almonds- feels a bit like a punch in the gut, like an unwelcome and unexpected guest whose purpose is to make you question your entire experience. Yes, this DNA does need something striking and antagonistic to make it more complex, more unique, but whatever this is, it is just a bit much.

Pretty disappointed with this fragrance. The rose in here feels extremely cheap and smells like rotten and oily if that helps. Lychee can be smelled from a mile away and is not really giving a nice aroma. Notes has mentioned vanilla but i don't smell anything closer to vanilla because of the prominent rose and lychee. Hazelnut is pretty subtle so you gotta stick your nose wherever you sprayed it to smell hazelnut. Performance is good so is the projection but feels cheap so its a no no for me.

Can't compare this with Delina, is nothing similar, to any of the Delinas, I can compare it to noble blush, is less jammy, more powdery, is nice.

The ambergris here is overwhelming, i could feel some gourmands underneath but after a while it just became something screechy. Pretty sad about it since it was supposed to be sweet and fruity. Lets see what itll look like in a few months i guess

UPDATE 3/26/26 - It's still just as bad as before. I just don't get who likes this scent profile! I really want to smell this on someone who loves it so I can 'get' what they are talking about. This one is going up for sale! Oh man... I'm disappointed (right now). I decided on this based on reviews of it being one of the best Delina (Exc.) dupes and I dunno if it's because I just have an ultra sensitive nose, but it's not what I was expecting at all. 1st spray was 'old lady' which settled after a few mins into something just floral and unexciting. It had sweetness but not in a good way? Nothing gourmand about it. After a few hours it gave a little YBM vibe (and I'm not a fan of that either - hot take, I know). I'm gonna give it time to maturate and see if it gets better because most of my Arabian brands have been like this at 1st and then end up being amazing after a while.

Safa is soft & beautiful fragrance 😍😍 you will smell like a princess 👸🏻 trust me ❤️❤️

This perfume has been a roller coaster for me! Some days I like it, some days I hate it. It is a BEAST. Like distractingly strong. Starts with a heavy rose, creamy, some fruits in the background. As it dries down it gets super powdery and dusty. After a few hours it softens.. but I can rarely keep it on that long or not layer something over top to try and soften it sooner. If it were 50% strength it could be enjoyable, I just find it so overwhelming, even with a quarter spray on one wrist to test it.

Idk if I got a bad bottle but it stinks smells like playdoh & burnt plastic

This is a very close dupe of the original. I can barely tell them apart.

What’s better this or Club de Nuit Imperial?
