Delina Exclusif

Okay... This fragrance is crazily perfect to me. At first spray, you may think, " Oooh, that's nice!" At first you get the soft rose plus an added sweetness of lychee. The scent smells rosy, *slightly* fruity and a bit powdery. People say it smells like baby powder - no. It smells like a floral/slightly fruity powder. The floral isn't white florals, it's delicious rose, specifically Turkish delight. If you've ever smelt rosewater with sugar, that is part of this fragrance. About a 5th of it. The rest is lychee, slightly vanilla, Oud, smokey, powdery. The sugary rose combined with the sweetness of lychee, plus the powderiness of musk is what determines this fragrance. If you live in Australia, you know what musk sticks are. This has a decent scent of musk sticks lollies. And it lingers. I assume this scent isn't mentioned a lot here because I think musk sticks are only an Aussie/NZ thing. But this definitely smells of roses and musk sticks, plus sugar, lychee, and deliciousness. To begin with, it doesn't smell gourmand. It smells rosey,sweet and powdery. Then it develops to this insanely gorgeous scent. Sillage: 10/10 - My hubby could smell it 2 rooms away. After 4 sprays - each ear and each inner elbow. 3 mins after spritzing these points, he yelled from the other end of the house, "Did you spray perfume?" Longevity: 10/10 - It's 12 hours and still going strong. It started wearing off at about 10 hours. But still super strong. Setting: This would be perfect for a date at night, a dinner with the in-laws, a work dinner or red carpet event. It is special. Don't spray it and walk out of the house. Spray it about 15 mins to half an hour beforehand - you will be projecting the most delicious scent ever! (If you like Turkish Delight with musk sticks and powderiness!) Compliments: Omg 10/10! I've had this fragrance for 2 days and have been told 6 times that I smell amazing. And that is during COVID-19 where the supermarkets limit customers and have lines on the floor for social distancing! I have been out of the house twice for necessities. Unfortunately I don't need to leave my house for quite a few more days so I won't have any more updates for a while on the compliments. Conclusion: You will smell expensive and unique. It IS slightly powdery, like I was warned about beforehand. But it's not baby powder at all. It's a rosey, musk stick powder with a slight sharpness of lychee. Lychee is a lot more prominent after 3 hours during this fragrance. Usually fresh scents like lychee (or litchi as said in the USA) disappear fast. It sticks around here. It is a creeper lol. It's fruitiness rears its head after an hour or so. And it's yum. Is this a gourmand? It's hard to say. But no. 4 hours later? Yeah, it's slightly gourmand. But still no - kinda. It's not fresh, it's not spicy, it's floral, and a teeny bit fruity. But powdery musky It isn't creamy to me like some people say, it's more powdery.Not like baby powder. More like a warm, musky powderiness (musk doesn't seem to be mentioned) that lingers for 8+ hours. There IS a sharpness, assuming that is the lychee. Geez I wish we had a scratch and sniff phones! It would make my description so much easier lol. Bottom line: It has amazing projection, it smells incredible, it smells like a classy girl who is going to a fancy dinner in her best dress (I can imagine this as a wedding dress scent!) This scent is the shit. I've never smelled anything like it, it's amazing. Stay safe during these hard times, social distancing really works, black lives matter, help those who are less fortunate xxx

Wow I loooove this!! I had owned Delina OG briefly like two years ago (the small bottle) and ended up selling it because it just wasn’t really me. There was something about it that I could never really get behind... maybe the tart rhubarb mixed with the jammy rose? Honestly I’d love to compare the two again though. Delina Exclusif is the most heavenly jammy rose, almost mouth watering, with a softness and warmth from vanilla and some musky powdery incense. I feel so girly, feminine, confident, and pretty when I wear this. It’s both super fun and pink but sophisticated and luxurious at the same time. It’s honestly hard for me to describe because it’s just such a bold, complex, rich scent. It has a delicacy to it, evoking thoughts of rose water french pastries topped with pastel pink icing. The rose in this reminds me of the Rose Jam scent by Lush (never tried the perfume, but the bubble bar, shower gel, etc.) which I find absolutely mouth watering and the most addictive candy-like jammy rose scent imaginable. Delina Exclusif is just heaven to my nose, from the first time I tried it on a few weeks ago I could not stop thinking about it. And it’s not easy to forget once you’ve tried it, either, because the performance is INSANE. Putting on the jacket that I had worn to try this on, I felt like I didn’t even need to wear perfume the following day because of how present this still was on my sleeves and in my hair. This is the type of scent that you really need to love, because it will basically become your signature scent whether you intend it to or not. The performance is just that good. I feel like I’m in a constant Delina Exclusif scent bubble since buying this - subtle at times, lingering from the night before, but I’ll wake up and catch soft whiffs of it in my hair, on my sweater sleeves, on my jacket. The price is absurd, I roll my eyes at PDM in general because I feel like they charge way more than what is warranted for a newer brand that is, let’s face it, mainly carried by hype. But, I won’t get into my full opinion on that lol. I will say, although the price stings, this is truly worth it in my opinion. I have never owned a perfume with such incredible sillage and performance, and to me this is always my dream for a fragrance I really love. I absolutely hate how many expensive niche fragrances I’ve tried that just disappear. If I’m paying this kind of money for a perfume, I want it to do the work and miss Delina Exclusif is putting in OVERTIME!

EASILY the best fragrance of all time, if I could only have one perfume this would be it in every lifetime. Quentin Bisch (Perfumer behind 'Delina Exclusif') needs his cookie ate... and I'd be first to volunteer. My apologies for the intro, I'm just very passionate about this perfume. In the opening (to my nose) you get a beautiful pear lychee duo, the middle you start to get the sexy notes oud, rose incense. The base is where it get all creamy and good. I will say that this in my opinion is an all season fragrance, it's great in the summer, but STELLAR in the colder months, so don't let that scare you. She works well spring-summer but does OVERTIME fall-winter. If you found Delina OG a little too screechy this is worth getting your nose on. I feel like those deeper notes in the middle make Delina Exclusif a scent for both men and women. The dry down is just Turkish delight, mind you I don't even know what they smell or taste like but just looking at the picture this is what i'd assume. But if that wasn't an option to describe it i'd say just imagine a pink sweet marshmallow covered in roses, powdered that was held under a elegant incense for a few seconds. This fragrance is my 2nd most complimented in my collection. Delina Exclusif had the assistant manager of my job who didn't like me, BEG me what I had on. She said "you so smell good, what do you have on" y'all I swear it was like she was in a TRANCE the way she asked. And I just said "oh, one on my expensive French perfumes" and she got the message I wasn't going to tell her. This perfume just sets the tone, I feel sexy, hot, like a siren almost. Delina Exclusif make men weak in their knee's. The perfume is somehow stronger than OG Delina it projects like crazy and last's eternally, I could still faintly smell it on my arms after doing a whole shower + body butter routine. I am going to be honest this perfume is NOT worth the $430 price tag, and that's not even mentioning the PINK TAX in comparison to PDM male fragrances. So I will always say buy from perfume discounters for all PDM some of my favs are: Mystic Perfumes, Aura Fragrance, Fragrance Net, and Olfactory. I purchased a 2.5oz tester bottle for $210 which is basically half off. I feel like I said all that needed to be said, Quentin Bisch I owe you my first child and my organs, you did your big one😻

If you’ve been looking for the ultimate "compliment magnet," Delina Exclusif is widely considered the gold standard. If the original Delina is a bright, sunny garden, the Exclusif version is that same garden at twilight—darker, sexier, and much more mysterious. The opening is an absolute mood-lifter. You get a burst of juicy lychee and fresh pear that smells like a high-end fruit tart, but it’s immediately balanced by a sparkle of bergamot. It’s playful and sweet, but don't be fooled—it quickly dives into something much deeper. Within minutes, a velvety, "thick" rose emerges, wrapped in a faint trail of smoky incense and oud. It doesn't smell like a "grandma" rose; it smells like a regal, spiced rose steeped in expensive liqueur. As it dries down, the magic really happens. It turns into this creamy, milky masterpiece. The vanilla and amber kick in, making the rose smell like a piece of gourmet Turkish Delight melting onto warm skin. There is even a hidden, tropical mango-like sweetness that lingers in the background, making it smell incredibly "edible" while staying totally elegant. It’s much bolder and creamier than the original, losing the sharp tartness and replacing it with a seductive, glowing warmth. Performance-wise, this is a total "beast mode" fragrance. It will easily last 8 to 12 hours, and it creates a beautiful trail behind you that practically demands people stop and ask what you're wearing. It’s sophisticated enough for a wedding but seductive enough for a date night. If you want to feel like royalty in a cloud of luxurious, sugared roses, this is a must-have.

I’m a guy and I typically prefer to wear more masculine marketed fragrances HOWEVER, Delina Exclusif smells absolutely divine on me. I purchased this as a birthday gift to my mom and she absolutely loves it and I love it on her. I love it so much that I sprayed some on myself one day while visiting my parents after learning that rapper Snoop Dogg wears this and I was shocked at how beautiful it smelled on me. Surprisingly, despite the undeniable sensual femininity of Delina, it didn’t at all smell too feminine on me. I smelled like an Arabian prince and I fell in love! I had to buy a bottle (and backup) for myself. It has become my most complimented fragrance from women! They absolutely love this on me... probably because it’s so unexpected. Long story short, fellas... don’t be reluctant to wear a fragrance ‘marketed’ to women. Fragrance is for everyone and you’d be surprised on what you’re missing out on due to “marketing”. I know a few women who wear men’s cologne and you’d never think they smell “manly”. I have a co-worker who is all woman but smells fantastic when she wears her boyfriend’s Bleu de Chanel. The same is true when men wear women’s perfumes. You’re still a guy and a fragrance can’t change that! Although Im not abandoning my love for masculine compositions, Delina Exclusif has singlehandedly opened the door for me to explore the world of feminine fragrances.
