“There's a lot of good reviews here to explain the scent, but I just wanted to add its SO similar to montales Roses Musk!! Like shockingly similar, the only differences to me are the quiet caramel note in the initial 20 minutes of Delina and that Roses Musk is not as soft as Delina, its definitely "sharper". But Roses Musk has crazy projection and longevity and is way more affordable. Just sharing because PDM prices are steep.”
“Really smells like 'pink' in the best way, opens fruity with the litchi, black currant, and rhubarb (which adds a bit of earthiness), morphs into a musky rose powder that gets smokier and a touch woody as it settles down.Perfect for the warm season, I really like this in spring.Very strong and lasts all day.It is pricey, but I think it's worth sampling if you are considering a full bottle. It is also well-duped, so there are plenty of options there.”
“Full disclosure I hate hate HATE rose scents & gourmand but objectively speaking, I can see why this is mass-appealing. Particularly the lychee and caramel drydown. Strangely, on me, the top and heart notes are inverse, it opened with a very strong rose and dried down to lychee. Also, of all PdMs I've tried, Delina is definitely one of the strongest in terms of longevity, projection and sillage.”
