First Kiss Exclusive

O.M.G. First of all, great exclusif dupe. Litchi, vanilla, incense, and amber are present and giving! Wears all day, I can still catch wafts the next day. Husband did give me the dreaded “old lady” comment, but he knows nothing, and will still wear Drakkar, so... case dismissed, lol. What I really came here to drop, is my *secret recipe*, what I’ve labeled Nomade Kiss Exclusif. In a decant- whatever size, one part Chloe Nomade EDT (must be EDT) to two parts First Kiss Exclusive. They share some notes, and Nomade EDT can be a bit hard for me to wear. Mixed with First Kiss Exclusive, they both become a totally different animal. The addition of mirabelle, davana, and an oakmoss base, put my concoction in whole other level territory. Exclusive, indeed!!

After reading all the reviews, I find it interesting that people have such different experiences with this fragrance. It seems to be a "love it" or "hate it" fragrance. I personally have tried Delina Exclusif and First Kiss Exclusive side by side, and to my nose, I cannot tell the difference. Therefore, I am not going to pay $300 for a fragrance when I can have one just like it for $65. If you are reading these reviews in hopes that it will help you to decide whether to try it or not, remember this.....not only do we all have different body chemistry, we also do not smell or taste things in the same way. So where one person may say the litchi is overpowering, someone else may smell mostly incense. Moral of the story. Try it for yourself.

I have several PDM fragrances, including Exclusif. You literally cannot tell one from the other. Yes, if you sample the original and this version side by side, you may detect a faint, insignificant difference, but the average person walking past you down the street will not stop you and say "you're wearing a dupe!". Even someone who is familiar with the scent will not be able to tell the difference just by smelling it on a random person. Additionally, this version lasts longer, in my opinion. If you can afford the near $400 price tag, go for the original, but if your just looking for the scent without breaking the bank, this will do absolutely fine, if not better!

I tried both Delina and Delina Exclusif and was underwhelmed by both considering all the hype, but I preferred the sweeter DE. Decided to blind-buy FKE during a sale just to give DE another chance to grow on me and I really like it. It’s yummier, more robust and I feel like I can actually smell it, unlike the Delina. Either it’s just better or I tried the Delinas on a bad day. FKE Lasts 10+ hours on my skin. Update: It’s September and this gets prettier as the weather cools down.

I have first kiss exclusive and also Delina exclusif. Overall they are almost identical. Delina is a bit better blended and there is a little more vanilla coming through with Delina. First kiss is a little more bright and green on the opening then starts to settle down like Delina. Overall it’s just slightly more bright and green. Sillage and longevity are the same if not maybe a bit better with first kiss exclusive.

This is sweet, powdery, fruity, strong, this is definitely not an oud scent even though it’s listed as a note. Someone said they get strong patchouli, I get none at all and it’s not in this. This is loud and people will smell it. Maybe they were talking about First Kiss and not First Kiss Exclusive, I’ve never smelled FK, I’ve also never smelled Delina. All I know is this is gorgeous, fruity, sweet and stroonnnggg!

I have both Delina Exclusif and First Kiss Exclusive. Honestly I smell a difference. VERY similar but different. First Kiss Exclusive is slightly sharper only slightly. Here's the kicker- I like First Kiss Exclusive more. It's long lasting and I find myself smelling the perfume on myself hours later and thinking "damn I smell good!"

It took me a little while to realize this, but this is very similar to Taylor by Taylor Swift, which used to be my signature. They both have that beautifully blended litchi-vanilla creaminess. First Kiss Exclusive is even more creamy.

love this so much will consider buying a full bottle. this last all day on me, still catch whiffs of the sweet drydown at the end of the day 😍 will get a sample of the legit DE as well to compare

I've been wearing a 5 mL sample of First Kiss Exclusive from the Be Layered sample set for the past two weeks. I have never smelled Delina Exclusif, but I have smelled Delina, so I'm going to compare First Kiss Exclusive to what I know of Delina. To start, this is definitely a beautiful fragrance. It will get you compliments. My husband has twice complimented me on this perfume, which is a bit rare for him. This stuff is strong - I can still smell it on my skin in the morning sometimes, after sleeping with it on from the day before. First Kiss Exclusive is quality stuff, can't complain about that - the price difference between this and a Parfum de Marly is not reflected in the materials or performance, in my opinion. Scent-wise, though, I'm not too sure what all the fuss is about? Again, it IS beautiful! But haven't we all smelled this type of thing before? Burberry Woman, Fancy Love, etc. warm, ambery, fruity, vanilla. Here it's lychee or pear, in other perfumes it may be peach or apricot, but it's generally the same thing. It's very sweet and juicy, while also being warm and comforting. The lychee makes it a little special, a little rosy, but I don't know that it's special enough to be that distinct from others of its genre. Even my husband, though he complimented the scent, said it smelled like other things that we both own. I feel this is missing the extra special sparkle that Delina has. Delina can also be seen as a standard perfume - it's a fresh rose. But in Delina, the rhubarb and lychee get to shine, giving the fragrance a specialness and uniqueness that I had not smelled before. A tart twist. There have been copies since, for sure, but I had never smelled that type of rose prior. In First Kiss Exclusive, and I imagine Delina Exclusif, all the tartness has been drowned in a (delicious) vanilla. I can feel the lychee desperately trying to sparkle while being smothered. I think that's a shame. However, knowing now that the quality of the Be Layered is worth the price, I could definitely see myself springing for a bottle of the regular First Kiss in the future. And if Delina Exclusif is the one for you, you should definitely give this one a try!

After hearing the hype about this perfume on Instagram and YouTube in regard to how similar it was to PM's Delina Exclusif, I purchased it blindly. I have to say, this is a bit of a disappointment. I don't know about others, but for me, if the initial spray does not draw me in, I can't get into a perfume. This dries down into a soft, powdery vanilla scent with a bit of rose but when first sprayed, it smells so chemical and synthetic, it's terribly off putting. I thought I had a dud until I read more reviews stating this was true for their bottle. Now I know that these "inspired" scents are not meant to be the exact dupe of the original perfume, but I have to say, I also own First Kiss which is inspired by DE's sister, Delina, and that is about 90% to the original. I still intend to try PM's Delina Exclusif despite my disappointment with this inspiration.

I received this the same day I got Delina Exclusif. I bought this originally due to the hype because I did not want to shell out so much money on Delina Exclusif. But then I got a huge discount on the PDM so bought it anyway. I am so glad I bought Delina Exclusif. I cannot believe so many Youtubers like Demi, are claiming they smell similar. To me they are nothing alike. First Kiss smells chemically and like a nice air freshner. I have never been more disappointed in a scent. This reaffirms for me that I need to stop blind buying based on Youtuber reviews. Often they hype up perfumes and they are just ok so I just chalk it up to we all have different experiences with scents. But this scent is truly nothing like is being portrayed and not remotely like Delina Exclusif. Smelling them both side by side I am convinced Youtubers are being sponsored!

I really like this one, I have the original Delina and have several samples of Delina Exclusif and this is super close to Delina Exclusif. If you spend a day smelling them side by side (which I haven't done yet), I'm sure you'll be able to spot differences between them but most people won't put that much effort into it and to anyone else it would probably smell exactly like DE. The sillage and longevity on this is really good, one or two smells and people will be able to smell you all day (and that's coming from someone who's skin eats perfumes). If you like DE but can't justify the price, or just want to try it to see what the hype is about, this is a really close alternative.

The longevity of this fragrance is incredible and the trail is enormous. Bergamot is very strong especially at the opening. Then, the incense is present throughout its duration. Then come the lychee and the oud. The vanilla is subtil and takes time to develop. Normally im not a fan of incens, oud and lychee (look like a mess here) but this perfume is so well blended that I love it (at first smell). The only thing, the bergamote is too potente... oterwise I love it. Tips: I mix the perfume with La vie est belle and its BOMB omg. It cut the sharpeness of the bergamot. Must try

Has a very strong, very unpleasant opening. It smells aggressively chemical, and while it does settle eventually, I'm not a huge fan of this fragrance. I can't suggest strongly enough just buying directly from Parfums de Marly - this dupe is decent, but it smells (understandably) like low-budget Delina. I realize the cost of PDM fragrances can seem ridiculous, but if you're passionate about quality fragrance, they're 100% worth the cost.

Monster sillage. My husband could smell me 2 rooms away with 2 small spritzes. I will need to try it in a place where it won't scare my family out of the house since apparently the drydown is nice. First spray smells like a smoky grandma. No joke, smells like my grandma's underwear drawer rose scented soap mixed with stale cigarette smoke.

This one is almost the same as Delina Exclusif. It has more incense note to me, and that's what put me off. It smells sickly powdery and medicinal to me. I realized it might be the incense note is what I'm not super fond of. On my skin the powdery flowery incense note turns very "old lady" smelling and I'm not sure what the deal is. I layer this one under a strawberry scent and that makes it much warmer and less powdery.

I bought this because I didn't want to spend so much money on Delina and I'm so happy about that now. I have really tried to like it but I really can't get on with this scent. There's something so screechy about it to me and I can't wait to scrub it off. The opening is particularly harsh, although it does last FOREVER.

Bought this perfume because I went off the hype from Youtubers like Demi Rawling and let me tell you this is such a disappointment. The perfume has a STRONG smokey incense smell. It lasts hours.

Sorry, but I'm assuming those that just got into fragrances these past few years would describe this as Delina-ish. Nowhere near Delina 🤷🏻♀️
