Delina La Rose

The opening is crisp, fruity and slightly tart, very fresh. After a moment, the rose appears, soft and delicate, as if touched by drops of morning dew, like walking through a rose garden at dawn. This scent instantly reminds me of a rose body mist I once bought in a pharmacy while on holiday in Turkey, natural, light and very feminine. The rosy aroma intertwines with a subtle peony accord, making the composition airy, romantic and beautifully spring like. In the base, soft musk emerges, giving the fragrance a gentle, cocooning quality, light as a fluffy cloud resting on the skin. On my skin the longevity is around four hours. The projection initially reaches about an arm’s length, but it quickly becomes more of a skin scent. It’s a composition best suited to lovers of subtle, fresh and delicate perfumes, perfect for spring and warmer days. Personally, however, I still prefer Delina Exclusif.

Out of the three Delina sisters La Rosee is my favorite. She’s bright, refreshing, and a very girly-girl. I am not much of a rose fragrance person but it smells like a fresh picked rose that has dew drops on its petals. My favorite is the opening when it’s first sprayed the lychee’s fruitiness reminds me of eating a freshly peeled lychee fruit. The dry down is pleasant when I still can smell it on my skin without being migraine inducing. My only complaints are that I do wish it last a bit longer but that can be a plus if you want to smell non-offensive and the price point which isn’t fair since the masculine PDM are not as expensive. Nonetheless she climbed her way to one of my top three perfumes of all time.

Just received my first full bottle today and I’m in love! I prefer Delina Exclusif to the original- that super tart rhubarb note and the hint of nutmeg in the OG are not my fave. But the Exclusif is heaven! And La Rosee is light, with a clean, fresh rose, peony and lychee note that is delicious. Perfect for daytime, office, or summer wear, and I’ll use Exclusif for evenings or colder weather. I do think La Rosee resembles Chloe signature which I also own and love, but La Rosee adds a fresher, sweeter, slightly dewy water accord that elevates it. Personally, I think this blend is better and more elegant and refined. For me it’s worth the splurge. But the Chloe fragrance is a cheaper and similar alternative.

I’m actually surprised by how much I like this! I’m more of a powdery warm lover so fresh scents aren’t usually very appealing to me, but I quite like the juicy sweet fruity opening of this, it really does smell like lychee and I love lychee. As it dries down the bright fruity opening fades and gives way to a somewhat fresh and watery rose with a bit of white musk. its definitely a scent profile I’ve smelled before but there’s still a hint of fruity sweetness which keeps it from becoming too green. And if I really bury my nose I can smell the pink pepper.

Got this for my girlfriend as a new year gift but it caused skin irritation on her. She has wide arrange of perfumes including arab clones, designers etc… first time experiencing skin irritation. Never would have thought a PDM fragrance would cause irritation but unfortunately it did so be aware. Scent is watery rose and it is very light, a fairy would wear such fragrance i imagine. Perfect for summer and spring. Also, performance (especially sillage) is good for a freshie. Leaves a scent trail with 5 sprays, which is really good.
