Madame Rose

Surprised that I love this perfume. It's not a heavy rose. It's soft, powdery, but I seem to pick up an oud scent perhaps its the petalia? The oud isn't a wood or smoky oud scent. It's more of a animal oud and some might say a barnyard oud. If you are familiar with middle eastern perfumes, you know what I'm referring to. But don't let that deter you because the notes come together in a beautiful way. My negative is how all of my OAKCHA's have no longevity to them. I have to spray 3-5x a day. They last a bit longer on my shirts, but not on my skin. But even on my shirts, it's only after I have sprayed about 3 different times throughout the day that it seems to linger. I won't repurchase. I gave Oakcha a shot hoping for longevity at a good price.

This is delicious. It smells a lot like Delina, maybe a touch less musky. But the longevity is insane, especially on clothing. I can still smell it on my shirts as I toss them into the laundry pile. I use it everyday; it’s just such a nice deep rose, comforting and pleasant. Someday I want a bottle of Delina, but this is a fabulous dupe, and will get me by for a while. Very well done and affordable. Similar enough, with very slight differences.

Pretty close to delina but performance is questionable. I don’t think it creates sillage . However , the ascent smells to me of high quality. I am enjoying it more than Delina . If Delina is too expensive , trust me : this is an amazing alternative ! Doesn’t smell cheap of badly blended . I really don’t think you need the OG . Btw I owned Delina and sold it . I kept Delina exclusif of which I own two bottles .

I bought this because I own Delina Exclusif and wanted to have the "other" Delina in my collection without paying an arm and a leg. It's a beautiful scent and I do enjoy it. It's very rosy and vetiver-y. Fresh and pretty. I really like Oakcha and the performance they offer for the outstanding prices. Hope they don't change!

My reviews are usually much more detailed and poetic but I just want to pin these observations down for now... I love this perfume for layering on top of spicy or leathery fragrances. Men seem to be addicted to this perfume and I’ve heard from a few that it is intoxicating and makes them turn into a puddle.
