Reyna

I absolutely love this perfume! Every time I wear it, I feel like a walking marshmallow, floating over even more marshmallow clouds. I’m so happy because this is exactly what I was looking for: to smell like marshmallow. And this perfume delivers on every level. Development of the fragrance: On the very first spray, it hit me sharp—too citrusy (orange blossom and mandarin) and at the same time too powdery. It felt more like fruit juice or candy rather than marshmallow. But I quickly realized the notes needed to settle. After a few days (I still haven’t let it macerate for a full month—I just can’t resist wearing it because I’m obsessed!), it started blending better. Now it really wraps me up in a marshmallow cloud, although it still carries a faint citrusy edge. I know it still has more macerating to do—I can feel the notes aren’t fully integrated yet—but honestly, I’m wearing it anyway because even like this, I adore it (and I know it’s only going to get better). I read somewhere that it smelled like a baby's cologne, and at the orange blossom note that create that effect, yes, but after it evaporates it's gone. My boyfriend loves it too. It’s super sweet, playful, and yet sexy at the same time. If I had to describe it in one word, I’d say it’s 100% rococo. If Reyna were a woman, she’d be a young French woman in a pink dress, covered in flowers and little head ornaments. That’s exactly the vibe—ultra feminine, delicate, and very ornamental (because it’s so sweet). Yes, it’s powdery too (and I think that’s why some people say it smells “grandma-ish”), but honestly—this is a walking marshmallow! What did you expect? For it not to be powdery? Impossible! And I repeat—it’s not a candy-sweet scent, it’s a marshmallow sweet scent. Like opening a bag of marshmallows and rubbing it all over your skin, haha. I get why some people might find that unpleasant or overwhelming, but personally, I love it. As for performance: so far (I’ve only had it for 4 days), longevity on my skin is modest, but the scent itself feels huge and cozy. Here in Argentina it’s spring, and I’ve been wearing it every day. The projection is soft, but that’s exactly what I want. I imagine a marshmallow as something fluffy and comforting, not something shouting across the room. I want it close to me, like my own natural scent radiating from my skin. Would I recommend it as a blind buy? No. It’s not for everyone. I blind bought it myself (instead of Ansaam Gold, which is often described as more “candylike/juicy”), because I was specifically looking for a 100% marshmallow fragrance. I do think that after wearing it heavily through spring (as I plan to), I might need to take a little break, because the sweetness is very gourmand and could get overwhelming after a while. But for now, I spray it several times a day. I’m in love. Who this perfume is not for: If you want something fresh. If you prefer the juicy, Barbie-doll opening of Rave Now Women (this smells more like Rave Now’s drydown). If ultra stereotypically feminine scents aren’t your thing. If you don’t like marshmallow. If you’re looking for huge projection and a big trail.

So i just received this ,cold bottle due to climate and it needs to warm up a little bit before fully unfolding it's real self. First few sprays were just citrus and somewhat bitter and annoying. Now several hours later I can smell the dry-down is sweet and powdery. My initial intention was to find something close to D&G pour femme which I love. On the bad news this does not come as close to pour femme, it is powdery and it does have a marshmallowy sweetness but is mostly powdery and dry like marshmallow powder. D&G pour femme is more ,what I would describe a watery marshmallow, it has a wetness like there is a pink lake full of marshmallows and a waterfall of sugary water falls onto them and the evaporation you get in the air is pour femme scent. The good news is that Reyna, despite being different is also something very enjoyable and since I like marshmallow sweetness more than vanilla/caramel type of devotion sweetness, I will be able to enjoy it without issues. I can already see how delightful it will become with a couple of weeks of maturation and more sweetness will arise. I feel like it is also a mature and more complex sweet scent rather than juvenile which leaves room for expression and use in different ways . Never smelled Oriana btw.. Update: even got a compliment wearing this today morning. Huh 😍

Okay, I've never smelled Oriana but I have Love Don't Be Shy by Kilian. If this is suppose to be a dupe of Oriana..... then Oriana and LDBS must be super similar scent-wise. There is only a very slight difference. Reyna is a little more fluffy & light with the citrus up top. Honestly I'd just consider this a LDBS dupe as well. As far as it's scent, I get orange blossom, graham cracker and marshmallow. I immediately think of Valentine's day & Easter. Sweet pretty spring fragrance(but could be worn year round). Longevity was great right off with this one and has only gotten better sitting for a few months. Great projection also. Very happy with this purchase. 8.5/10 rating Edited to add: I've had this for a good while now. I got it out a few days ago and gave it a little test. IDK about Oriana, but the longer this ages the more it smells like Love Don't Be Shy. I was very surprised to smell that animalic accord that the old LDBS scent had. And it just keeps getting stronger. Delilah, which I also have, got stronger but kind of tapered off. It's good too but not changing much now. But Reyna seems to just keep developing layers.

Well, Oriana is one of my favorites perfumes of all times. Top 3 for sure. Unfortunately, the cost of it in my country doubles the price in Europe (which is already so expensive to start with). I couldn't live without it, so I desperately searched for dupes and I found Reyna. It was extremely cheap. Maybe 20, 30 dollars? And let me tell you, it's a great perfume. Now, it's not a 1:1 dupe. I would say it's 80, 85% similar. The core difference it's in the opening: Oriana is more fruity, citrusy and tangy. Almost like bubblegum. This goes straight up to the DRYDOWN of Oriana. Also Oriana's drydown is more fluffy (the marshmallow note is more intense), but it's a very subtle difference. For the price, it can't be beaten. The scent is very close and it's so addicting... If you want to smell like froot loops... this is it! Sweet, powdery, girly and innocent <3 Update: I won't lie to you, it doesn't have the greatest projection or longevity, but the OG Oriana doesn't project either.

I'm exploring various Middle Eastern perfumes and "clone" fragrances. I now recognize that lately, many ME companies are producing high-quality, AFFORDABLE, gorgeous perfumes. The Middle Eastern perfume manufacturers are making it easy and a lot more fun to explore beautiful original and dupe fragrances. And IMHO, the ME producers are knocking it out-of-the-park. Maison Alhambra "Renya" opens and wears as a gorgeous, perfectly balanced, impeccably sweetened, creamy, orange blossom marshmallow fragrance. Fortunately for me, the opening citrus notes are not too pronounced. If black currant is present, it is barely noticeable. The gorgeous orange blossom prominently shines with a wee-bit of tart fruitiness. The creamy, musky base notes perfectly anchor this incredible fragrance. I plan to use Renya straight-up without placing her in time out. Performance seems pretty stellar out-of-the-gate. I've owned/worn PdM "Oriana" and Reyna is 99% there. Love! Love! Love!

Trust me, let it macerate for a few weeks!!! When I first bought it, I spritzed it on me and I HATED IT! It smelt like sweet body odour on me and not in a good way. After about 3 weeks, I tried it again and it is now my signature scent. I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE it! It's sweet, powdery marshmallow, with some citrus and the slightest hint of raspberry, all blended to delicious perfection! I stated in my initial review (on another website) that there was no way I'd ever buy this fragrance again; Well... lol... I went and bought another bottle, not even half way finished my first, lol. It lasts about 4-5 hours on my skin and I get plenty of compliments wearing this. I do layer it with Crybaby, sometimes, or Love Don't Be Shy, and that's usually when the compliments roll in. I am so in love with this frgrance now, so if at first you don't succeed, remember to let it macerate, dust yourself off and try again!

I have Oriana and I also have all 3 Arabian dupes: Ansaam Gold, Reyna, Destino. - Ansaam Gold sucks, it's not close IMO. It smells like an old church. But it is strong/longlasting. - Destino is an excellent dupe and lasts the longest, but missing the citrus opening. - Reyna is the closest. Let this sit for a few weeks. It really does get better. Reyna "fills out" and the longevity improves. It's not super potent but it will last on your clothes a full day, longer than Oriana. FWIW, all 3 of these last better than Oriana. I'm pretty happy with Reyna and would recommend. Oriana is hard to dupe properly. You can get in the neighborhood but something about the original is masterfully assembled. $20 Jomashop

My newest Obsession! Opens with the orange and bergamot citrus. sweet black current and marshmallow followed by soft orange blossom and stays throughout the scent. You really need to love floral to love this scent. dries to a fluffy whipped cream and musk. so addictive. She projects and leaves an alluring trail. I got 8hours on the skin ( my bottle is dated 2023). Very pretty feminine fragrance. Oriana twist. would make a lovely Bridal scent. I get tons of complements every time i wear this out and in the office. Other ladies stop me to ask what I am wearing. I love to layer this with Her elixir by Burberry and also ana abiyedh poudree by Lattafa..Devine! Men love it.

This perfume smells amazing. I’ve never smelled Oriana so I can’t say if it smells like it, but to me this smells a lot like Prada Candy Kiss, but with more going on. To me, they both smell like delicious fluffy sweet orange blossoms, but this one is sweeter and more tart with the marshmallows/whipped cream and raspberry notes. I’m very happy to have both of them as I love this type of scent, and I think if you enjoy Prada Candy Kiss or orange blossoms in general you’ll really enjoy this. Longevity and projection are not very strong for me right now, so I’m gonna wait a bit and see if that changes at all! :)

I've just opened the box and I can say this is gorgeous but unfortunately it doesn't last more than 2 hours on me , but yeah, for the price I can't expect too much, I can't feel the Marshmallow note , it's powdery, a bit sweet , citrus? where? 🥹maybe is too soon! I'll let it sit a bit (3 months😂) ,projection and longevity is not the best but this fragrance is delicious and sugary Quality : 6/10 longevity 5/10 unisex: 3/10 🚺 value: 10/10 Originality: 5/10 Price:10/10 Bottle design: 4/10 Personality: 4/10 Sillage: 3/10 Repurchase: yes Blind buy : only if you like sugary and frutal fragrances👍🏻

Man reviewing here. I can't describe how delicious this smells. I gifted a bottle of Reyna a couple of months ago, and every time she wears it, I just close my eyes and inhale deeply to enjoy the smell. I've never smelled Oriana before, but I don't think that's even necessary.. Hard to believe that such a beautiful perfume costs only CAD $30! Another perfume that had that effect on me was Yara, but Reyna is just better in every aspect..It's sexier and it smells better overall. 100 % safe blind buy and great for gifting without breaking the bank.

If you want the smell of PDM Oriana that's budget friendly...THIS is her! I have both & this perfume gives the closest Oriana scent vibes for sure. It has the same notes & it is delicious. Oriana is one of my very favorite perfumes & this is a great "inspired by" or "dupe". I love it & really enjoy wearing her. I like to spray a little of Oriana then heavy-handedly spray this Reyna all over & you cannot tell the difference! I never want to be without it. Excellent offering Maison Alhambra! Thank you! 🩷 10/10

This is one of the decants I got from lifestylewithtrish.ca and I’m so glad I got this. They say it's similar to Oriana, but that's out of my budget even the decants for Oriana are so freakin expensive so not sure about that hehe While it doesn't have the greatest projection or longevity, it's incredibly addictive—I can't stop smelling my arm. It's sweet, powdery, soapy, and girly. I would gladly have a full-sized bottle of this once I run out of the decant.

I flippin love this! One of my most loved scent profile. This is a sweet, powdery, delicious scent. I get lots of the orange blossom, raspberry and marshmallow with a powdered sugar dusting 🤤✨ I don’t own Oriana or LDBS yet, but I’ve heard this smells similar to those frags. This is a must have in your collection, amazing price and great quality! I would never want to run out of this scent, that’s how much I adore it 🫶🏼

This reminds me a lot of Love Hearts that which is a popular candy/sweet here in the UK (think theyre called Sweethearts elsewhere). Powdery sweet orange candy with orange blossom. So pretty and girly. It smells a bit vintage and very floral when I first tried it but after a couple weeks macerating it's gotten more sweeter, softer and fluffier. It's beautiful. I get 6-8 hours longevity, moderate silage.

I Have not had the pleasures of smelling Oriana however I just received my bottle of #Reyna today an I loved the dry down on Reyna immediately all the 3 layers of notes exceeded my expectations an I'm definitely utilizing this as one my spring/ summer fragrances. It's light' fluffy and sexy and I know I'm going enjoy this scent it was excellent blind buy 🤌🏾🔥🔥🔥🔥Maison Alhambra

I adore this!! I bought this after trying a decant of ansaam gold and they’re identical! The opening of both has a sharp citrus which then settles into a beautiful fluffy marshmallow, almost like a marshmallow powder. The citrus in the opening carries through to the base but moves more into the background, breaking up the sweetness of the base perfectly.

This is like 90% close to Oriana from Perfumes de Marly. Its sweet and projects a loooot. Its a really fine close to Oriana perfume that is worth to try it. Its cheap!!!, girly, sweet. If you like whipped cream and marshmallows with a hint of orange blossom and red currants this is for you.

Way better than i ever imagined, I know it's a dupe, I've never smelled the original but Reyna is so worth it, at first spray seems a bit fainted but as soon as the alcohol dries down it transformers into a sweet and warm scent that in my opinion it's great for the spring

I totally agree with “brown Barbie” below! The scent overall smells like a luxurious detergent however I had to pump a lot of times to get the smell! I sniffed and sniffed and nothing, the scent was disappearing through the air! Very disappointing ..
