Delina is a fruity rose of unusual quality: tart rhubarb and litchi lift a rich Turkish rose, and a cashmeran-musk base gives it enormous longevity. It smells luxurious in a way that is easy to identify and hard to imitate.
It has become the go-to niche feminine in Australia for weddings and milestone gifts. The Exclusif version is deeper and more vanillic; La Rosée is lighter and better for summer. Expect ten hours from two sprays.
Best for: Weddings, special occasions and rose enthusiasts.
The opening — what you smell in the first fifteen minutes.
The core character, emerging after roughly half an hour.
The dry-down that lingers on skin and fabric.
Delina suits weddings & special events, date night and office & work. Its bold intensity means one or two sprays is genuinely enough — this is a fragrance that rewards restraint.
Expect roughly 9-11 hours on skin with very strong projection. Longevity drops in high heat and humidity, so Queensland and Northern Territory wearers should plan for the lower end of that range. Spraying one of your applications onto clothing rather than skin extends it considerably.
It performs best in spring, autumn and winter. It is not our pick for a hot Australian summer — the composition becomes heavier as temperatures rise, so keep it for the cooler months.
It is marketed for women, but fragrance has no rules — the floral character means plenty of people outside that marketing category wear it happily.
Approximately $350 - $450 (75ml) at Australian retail. Designer fragrance is discounted almost continuously, so compare pharmacy chains, duty-free and online marketplaces before paying full department-store price.
