RUA

I’m honestly very impressed by this fragrance. I wanted a similar experience to the delina/ delina exclusif perfumes as I just can’t justify the price for those and this is extremely close! This doesn’t have lychee but does have some citrus notes, which can be a little potent for the first few minutes, but once it dries down it smells beautiful and lasts all day. I can smell it on my clothes the next day too. I’m looking forward to it maturing and hope it becomes even smoother. Will say, I have tried Delilah (the dupe) too and didn’t like that one- it just smelled like soapy, green rose on me.

Beautiful, long lasting fragrance. Very close to Delina Exclusif. 10/10

This is my second winter wearing Rua. This is a winter fruity-floral perfume for me. It's SO strong, and far too cloying in warm weather, and I really have to be in the mood to wear this. It has to be dead of winter for me to be able to wear this and enjoy it. It's sibling, Rua Radiant Roses, is gorgeous for warmer weather, and much easier to wear. Originally I got this in March 2025, and it's now June 2026. Originally when I got it, Rua had this harsh note in the opening that seems to have mellowed and vanished completely, and now I'm left with the powerhouse gorgeousness of the florals and fruits. I've just sprayed it again for the first time in about 9 months, and applied 1 spray to my left wrist, which then got dabbed and spread to my right arm and my neck, and I think this is it's sweet spot. 1 spray and done. Any more and you'll choke out a room and yourself. I've had so many compliments wearing this, but it is a risk for inducing headaches or irritating allergies or asthma if you spray too much. I get about 11 hours wear out of this perfume on my skin, and on clothing I'll smell it the next day still. Is this a dupe for PDM Delina or Delina Exclusif? I think it's definitely an inspired by version, but not a close dupe. It's got different florals and it's missing all the grounding woods that come with the Delina line. It also doesn't go through the same olfactive journey that Delina has. I find this very linear once it dries down. Still a gorgeous perfume, and I'm glad I own it, but if you don't like strong perfumes that leave you surrounded by a cloud of fragrance, are sensitive to smells, or are looking for an easy reach perfume that you can just throw on and go, this is not one you should buy in my opinion. If you like fruity-florals, and want an attention grabbing scent that dominates the room and commands attention, then this is your girl.

This is a grown woman’s rose fragrance! It’s not a soapy rose. I pickup on the sour rhubarb and citruses along the rose at the opening, the peach and magnolia peek through too. Everything is well blended. These notes go well together and the rhubarb was necessary to ground the fruitiness. There’s something a bit heavy/musty to my nose (maybe the amber wood?), and overall not my cup of tea as it’s very rose forward. I will say that rose lovers will likely enjoy this fragrance.

i tried to like it but i just cant, it lasts long and projects and i got a lot of compliments wearing this, but its not me i dont like florals and gives me a headache, i will still give it a chance every once in a while but its not my favorite it gives old lady vibes

I know realize that I actually have this fragance for more than a year. I wore it the first time, 3 months after blind buying and felt it was too harsh. I do have a sample of Delina Exclusive (which is my least favorite Delina), this is close to the original, compared to Club Imperial this is softer. However I'll let you know that it smells better after a year, can you buy and forget it for a whole year or more? If yes, then you'll get a less harsh, creamier and softer perfume. Edit: it's actually almost 3 years I bought it in 2024

I was looking for a Delina dupe. So far, I love it! It wears down to something very similar to Delina. I've layered it with Hareem Al Saltan Gold and it smells amazing together. Not quite as long lasting as Delina.

This scent smells really bad in the beginning. I've waited more than 6 months for it to be wearable. I'd say I'll wait 3 more months. It's not me, but it does smell really close to Delina Exclusif
