Amora Essence

If Delina had a little sister who thought she was grown, this would be her! The bottles are clearly different. The Delina bottle screams "pretty princess," while the Amora Essence bottle screams "Sassy young auntie." The fragrance itself is 95% close: the opening, the woodiness, the rose, and the sweetness. The only difference is that Delina is better blended, but you can't smell that unless your nose is right next to the skin. In the air, this is an almost exact dupe. People used to talk about how Roses Vanille was a dupe for Delina, but RV always smelled linear to me. There were three parallel notes in RV; light rose, vanilla, and something sweet. RV is rather harsh and smells cheap to me. Amora Essence, however, is an exact dupe! The only other dupe that I think is the best, comes from ALT. The ALT. version may have just a bit more lasting power. I have the authentic Delina, as well as the ALT. version and Amora Essence. I'll do a side by side comparison and update this post later.

The quality is actually pretty good. Very smooth out of the box, expect even better performance after maturing. Pressurised atomiser is always amazing too. Definitely smells like Delina exclusif but fresher version of it. Not sure how close this is to Hibiscus Mahajad but this smells niche for sure. Overall: 8.5/10

This smells AMAZING! Fruits and florals done right! Edit: I just acquired a sample of Hibiscus Mahajad and this is *very* similar! Edit 2: I just acquired a decant of Delina and Delina Exclusif and this smells like a hybrid of Delina and Hisiscus Mahajad.
