As a beauty editor, I’ve been lucky to try a lot of perfumes. Currently, I have about 60 in my collection, but there is one that brings me the most compliments whenever I wear it, and that’s Parfums De Marly Delina perfume. It launched back in 2017, but interest in Delina has never been higher. There are 60,000 searches for Delina perfume on TikTok each month (so no surprise that it’s gone TikTok-viral) and nearly 15,000 searches on Google. Stats aside, even Snoop Dogg has proclaimed that he always has a bottle of the French perfume in his bag in the biggest fragrance plot twist of 2024. So, what does the Internet-famous Delina perfume smell like? Scroll ahead for our full review of the Parfums De Marly scent.

What Does Delina Smell Like?
Delina is a fruity floral fragrance, and what makes this scent particularly special is the projection. A couple of spritzes cloaks you in a veil of rose, rhubarb, lychee and peony, and even hours after spraying I still get compliments from others as it dries down into a subtle vanilla, musk and cashmeeran base with a hint of grounding vetiver.
To me, this scent smells predominately of rose and lychee with a powdery note. When I wear it, it transports me to a 18th century powder room filled with rose bouquets and fluffy powder puffs sending clouds of scented powder into the air—I feel like Marie Antoinette would have approved of the scent and the pretty bottle. When I caught up celebrity manicurist Iram Shelton (who often uses Delina-scented body care in her manicures) over a manicure recently, she said this scent makes her feel “like a princess”. And I have to agree.
That’s not to say that this smells dated, however. Instead, it’s feminine, modern and balanced. It’s not overly sweet or floral—it’s a crowd-pleaser that is bound to have everyone asking what you’re wearing.
How Long-Lasting Is Delina?

Is Delina Worth it?
If you’re looking for a luxury fruity-floral fragrance, I would highly recommend you try Delina. While expensive, this long-lasting perfume is loved by many and often gets wearers compliments. And because the lasting power is strong, you won’t need to apply a top-up throughout the day. Even if it didn’t get me admiration that it does, I would still wear it as it’s such a beautiful perfume. It’s a traditionally feminine fragrance that’s still suitable to wear to the office as it is for date night. Just brace yourself for people asking you what you’re wearing. If you want something a little different, there are two additional flanker versions of Delina to try too. Scroll ahead to shop the best Parfums De Marly perfumes I also love.
