Parfums de Marly Delina
Tart crisp rhubarb, juicy lychee, velvet Turkish rose, and an enveloping base of cashmeran and incense: the reigning queen of modern niche florals.
Composed in 2017 by star perfumer Quentin Bisch for Parfums de Marly, Delina is widely acclaimed as the defining floral icon of 21st-century artistic perfumery. It opens with an exhilarating burst of tart green rhubarb, exotic lychee, and zesty bergamot spiced with a dusting of nutmeg. The heart unfurls an opulent bouquet of Turkish damask rose and fresh peonies enveloped in creamy vanilla. The drydown reveals Bisch's genius: cashmeran, cedarwood, Haitian vetiver, and a whisper of sacred incense create a radiant, ultra-feminine aura that projects effortlessly for over 12 hours.
