Delina
A modern feminine rose built on a juicy lychee and rhubarb opening, a Turkish rose and peony heart, and a soft powdery vanilla-musk base. Elegant, sweet, and feminine.
Delina opens on Lychee and Rhubarb, moves through Turkish Rose and Peony, and dries down to Cashmeran and Musk. At $240 - $355 it is firmly luxury pricing that demands you love the profile first, with long lasting (8h - 10h) on skin. Sample before you commit — it is loud and polarising rather than crowd-safe.

EXPERT ANALYSIS — COMPOSITION & PERFORMANCE
Composed by Quentin Bisch for Parfums de Marly in 2017, Delina sits in the bright citrus space of modern perfumery. Below, our research team breaks down its olfactory structure, measured performance, and ideal wearer.
The Opening
From the first spray, Lychee, Rhubarb, Bergamot establish a bright citrus and juicy fruit character that defines the top of the composition.
The Heart
As the top notes settle, the heart turns floral and sweet gourmand, built around Turkish Rose, Peony, Lily of the Valley. This is where the fragrance reveals its true personality, roughly two to four hours in.
The Dry-Down
The base is dry woods and smoky incense, with Cashmeran, Musk, Incense providing the depth and tenacity that carry it through the day.
Who Should Buy Delina
Delina leans feminine but is wearable by anyone who enjoys the style. Its season vector points strongest to spring, and its day/night balance makes it best suited to versatile day-to-night wear. If you gravitate toward bright citrus and juicy fruit compositions and want strong longevity, it belongs on your shortlist.
No major red flags in the composition, but fragrance is personal — skin chemistry can shift the balance of notes, so a sample wear is always wiser than a blind purchase at this price.
