“Heavy dislike this one. It smells reminiscent of wet but clean dog. Like a gold labrador who just ran through the sprinkler in the middle of summer. It smells like pink florals with water, but humid. Vague pink flowers, it says rose but it just smells like pink flora, the aquatic note is what makes this smell like wet dog to me. The blend makes me think of that wet furr smell and I cannot stand it. It lasts a moderate amount of time, not as well as delina or the exclusif.”
“Just stunning. I think when it comes to deciding whether you should choose this one out of all 3 delina’s/whether it’s worth the price really depends on what scent profile you like. I am a huge lover of watery florals and scents with a light, airy, effervescent feel. If you like that kind of thing you will adore this - it’s dew drops on pink flower petals, fresh and pretty while having great projection and lasting power. Whereas if you prefer creamier, richer, vanilla based fragrances this won’t be worth it for you.”
“I was really expecting a much different dewier classic rose from the original DNA but I am quite disappointed to find this very similar to the original. This one does not have the rhubarb (which I love) and it isn't as loud as the original, but honestly unnecessary in my opinion. This is the quieter, maybe shy version of Delina for someone who wants a polite version or has enough money to blow on one for cooler months and one for summer months OR someone who really detests rhubarb and wants to smell a version without it.”

The original exhibits greater rose complexity and nuance, while Delilah leans slightly sweeter with a more prominent peony-tuberose accord. Longevity is comparable, but the original's projection and lasting power are marginally superior.

Hawwa matches the top and heart notes closely but lacks the premium quality and longevity of the original, with noticeable performance drop-off after 4-5 hours. The base notes in the clone are more linear and less nuanced, missing some of the creamy, velvety qualities that define Delina A Rosee's signature.

Taraf White has marginally shorter longevity (5-6 hours vs 7-8 hours) and a creamier, less radiant character compared to the original's rosy-citrus sparkle. The base performs comparably well, though the original's tuberose is more pronounced and adds a subtle spiciness that the clone softens.
