Rose Éclat

A fragrance I won in one of the brand’s Instagram giveaways. The opening is fresh, lightly citrusy, then it smoothly moves into a rose accord with a subtle hint of peony. The base is built around amber and musk — soft, enveloping, with a gentle warmth. You can clearly sense the DNA of Delina, making this a more accessible alternative price wise. Longevity is over six hours, with a noticeable yet still refined projection. It settles well on the skin, present but never intrusive, leaving a soft trace behind.

This is definitely a inspiration fragrance of DELINA, and I should know, because I still have the 8ml of Delina from my Scent Bird and I have Rose O1 by Swiss Arabian and they smell so similar. I'm not going to go further into detail because most of us know how Delina or an inspirational fragrance that we ALL currently may carry in our collection. Anyways, I really do enjoy the fragrance as always and I will let it mature.

I just got this, and need to test it more, but so far it seems like Roses Vanille Mancera - very rose, vanilla, powdery. It's very lovely, but I already have the RV Mancera. 🤷🏼 It is very potent so spray lightly.

I just tried this on skin along with Delina and Exclusive. This definitely has the Delina DNA, closer to the OG not the Exclusive. A cousin though, not a sister. However, it also has what I can only describe as a heaviness in the base that I find many ME frags with musk in the base tend to have that's not present in the scents they try to replicate. Or maybe it's whatever note they used in place of the incense note in the og. Either way I'm going to sit this one in time out and see if the heaviness mellows a bit.

Based on the notes I am not sure either of those "Reminds me of...." selections are very accurate. Not everything is a dupe or a clone, even with Middle Eastern brands!! This sounds lovely and possibly unique. I hope I get to smell it for myself.
