RUA Radiant Roses

Very pretty! Paulina Schar on YouTube said this smells like a combination of Delina and Cassili, which made me RUN to get this because I absolutely adore both of those scents. I would certainly agree, though to me this smells more like the candied, soft, non-screechy rose of Fleur Majesty Rose Royale mixed with the peachy, plummy, bright fruitiness of Cassili. I recently fell in love with the Kayali and re-fell in love with Cassili, so I will be wearing this to death this spring and summer.

Just picked this up at Burlington and Rua Radiant Rose is definitely giving Delina Exclusif vibes. Of course it's not as layered & refined as Ms. Exclusif but you can see where she's trying to take you & I'm here for it! RRR is lacking the smokey incense and oud of DE. To me RRR is a little more fruity but in the far dry down the destination is basically the same. I'm enjoying her very much!

Beautiful, strong floral. 12+ hours on me. Sweet and feminine, yet bold. I get mostly rose, bright rose and beaming florals. The bottle and packaging really matches the vibe of the fragrance. I can also detect musk, sweet lychee, amber and a bit of orange. This is stunning!

DELINA EX WITH A ARABIAN TWIST🔑 🫖Ok, to my nose I get a candied peachy, citrusy powdered rose! Just delicious! The chocolate note is a nice touch, though I don’t smell it, and I’m a sucker for Sandalwood and Vanilla notes. 📌Not a safe blind buy!

Oh My Goodness. Such a beautiful creation. Not a dupe of Delina, more fizzy and sugared. To my nose, it's very similar to my beloved and disapeared Rose Confite by L'occitane: that's what I was looking for!

I like the chocolate note. It’s a less powdery rose scent, so it doesn’t hit me as a grandma floral, but I’m still unsure about my feelings on this one. I have no point of reference when it comes to Fluer Majesty, so no comment on the comparison, but I *do* like the dry down. I like it but I don’t t “ love” it. I’ll update after a month of it sitting to see how I feel( I got this in late March as a gift). It’s beautiful and feminine, but let me just give the disclaimer that this isn’t my usual scent profile and I tend to lean more unisex and woody or go for clean citrus and aldehydic white florals. Edit 4/27/25: No, I actually LOVE this! I tried it earlier this month and it has sat for about a month and this is a perfect Spring and Summer floral gourmand. I would wear this at night in summer, but not during the day. Tbqh, I see no problem wearing this all seasons.

I don't think it smells comparable to the perfume people are comparing it to, so people will be disappointed if blind buying on that sole fact. I would not call this a safe blind buy unless you love rose. I personally love it, the bottle is stunning and the atomiser is great- it reminds me somewhat of Turkish delight chocolates and rose potpourri- the other florals are there, but they take a backseat. As a extrait it has a huge sillage and lasts 9+ hours on me. I wouldn't wear it at work,as it may offend some people's noses with it being on the sweeter side. i'm glad it is not a mess on my skin- I acknowledge I may be biased as it also reminds me of my great-grandmother- in the best way. She was a lovely lady who always smelled divine and would smuggle me sweets. So it feels like I'm walking around with her again <3

Very good in lasting power and sillage. Smells like sweet and fruity rose. Nice for sure.🥰

You can definitely smell the rose and chocolate.

Day 1: Baby powder fruity mess. I can't smell the rose. Day 4: Same fruity baby powder mess 😩. Day11: Okay now were getting somewhere. Less baby powder. I can smell more of the chocolate and fruity nuances. So this one DEFINITELY HAS TO SIT & MACERATE. Not sure if it's for me just yet but it smells wayyyyyyyy better. Sidenote: My hubby and my son(14 yrs old and rarely impressed lol) really like this one. I'll be back to edit with an update if I remember at the 1 month mark😁 *UPDATE* 1 Month+: I still can't get into this fragrance. It's just to busy for me. Hubby and son still like it but it went from a 10 to an 8. It's only $20 bucks and to me it smells like the pricepoint.

Interesting notes. Sadly this became almost a mess on my skin. Too much of everything, dated. On the contrary, Rua in the white bottle was a gem, gracefully radiating her solid, ultra feminine, Delina Exclusive like presence for more than 6 hours.

I thought my nose was broken. Thankfully, many people also experienced this. I have samples of Delina and Delina Exclusif and several well-made dupes, and this perfume doesn't vibe the same at all. It smells dated and nauseating, like you added an old, bad,powdery soap to Delina exclusif’s dry down. The notes look nice but it doesn't translate that way. I have had it for almost a year now and it's still bad.

I bought this blind based on reviews that it was similar to delina la rosee. Omg this is nothing remotely similar. Smells very very old woman and not in a good way. I love older women’s sense but this is sickeningly sweet and powdery. Smells so bad. I wanna throw it away. Do not blind buy. When spraying the whole house smells like it luckily it was a cheap fragrance, but I don’t like wasting money.

I'm so tired of people comparing every single rose fragrance to Delina. 🙄 Once and for all, this is NOT a dupe for Delina nor any of its flankers. This one smells closest to Ameerat Al Arab Prive Rose by Asdaaf (sub brand of Lattafa). And Prive Rose smells similar (but not close) to Mancera Roses & Chocolate. That being said, this does not smell like Roses & Chocolate AT ALL. I'm going to compare this to Prive Rose because that one is a favorite of mine, it's a beautiful blend of fresh pink roses with deep dark green earthy undertones and a hint of chocolate. This one however, smells fresher and sweeter and more vanilla. The rose-vanilla combo here, to me, is very reminiscient of Montale Intense Cafe and Mancera Roses Vanille. I get a prominent citrus, giving it that juicy freshness. So right away, it's very different from Prive Rose, although they are in the same scent family. It doesn't have that dark deep earthy green quality that Prive Rose has, which is why I love that fragrance. Instead, it's more fresh citrus and vanilla sweet. Prive Rose is not that sweet and not too heavy on the vanilla. This one also have a tartness to it that Prive Rose doesn't have because this one is juicy and dense, while Prive Rose is more airy and deep. A bit weird but as I'm smelling this, I sometimes get a whiff of cat piss?? It's fleeting but I get it from time to time. Maybe it needs more time to sit, idk. But from what I'm smelling now, this one is not it. This is basically a fresh rose with very very sweet citrus-vanilla. Now, I know that sounds delicious, but there is something in here that's messing up the blend. Something that makes it too tart and bitter, not in a good way. Probably where that cat piss scent is coming from. Again, maybe it needs to sit? But honestly, it's kind of a bummer if you have to wait for 6-9mos to see whether you do like it or not. Is it even worth it by that time? Who knows.

If you have never experienced Delina, I suggest you do not smell this before you do, or you may end up hating Delina, based solely on how nauseating this one is. It has a sickening/sweet, soapy note that sticks in your throat. It reminds me of what you might get if Dove tried to make a *very strongly* Delina scented soap--and failed.

No No just No....I love rose its my favorite, but just this? NO...this smells dusty, powdery, musty dead rose. It smells like old powder from like the 1920's. I tried to like it but if you are looking for a fresh sparkly rose this is the polar opposite!!! And yes it smells just like Prive Rose and that is another NO for me too!!

@SugarUnlearn just for clarification - people DON'T LIE! Everyone has unique perception. Just because someone described the fragrance as a dupe or similar to whatever they perceived it doesn't mean it will smell exactly the same for you! So before you accuse others of lying go educate yourself! 🤦🏼♀️

Overly complicated to the point its headache inducing. It's almost like it doesn't know which way to go. And this isn't that great that I'm willing to keep it for a month and see if it's better. If the opening notes don't catch me, its never better in a month. Not a safe blind but, I agree.

Smells and performs like a delina flanker. I love it
