Musky & Floral. Bought it for my mom for Mother's day gift. I showed it to my sister and sprayed it on her arm and it was projecting beastly for quite a long time. And even after 7+ hours I could smell it on my arm even though I didn't spray it on myself (probably a few tiny drops of spray fell on my skin while I sprayed it on my sister's arm or Idk what). Both my sister & my mother loved this! 100% Recommend. 10/10. If you're looking for a floral fragrance with a musky/arabic touch, this will probably be an excellent choice!

Admittedly, it's been awhile since I've sniffed the og Delina, but I sprayed Delilah immediately after receiving in the mail and this seems to be nearly a spot-on dupe. I do not get any menthol or petrol undertones (in fact, the petrol/rubber/gasoline/screechy musk essence in some ME frags is very disturbing to me - LOL) that others have mentioned. This just captures the sparkling tart fruitiness, fresh-cut rose, softened by a background of vanilla that I'm familiar with from Delina. Delilah, to me, does not smell anything like Delina Exclusif at this point.

I purchased dupes of Delina/Delina Exclusif from one of my favorite independent frag houses (Scentual Obsessions) a couple years ago and just ran out of both. To my nose, SO's versions of each were also spot on to their inspirations. I've been trying to find alternates for these via ME frags just due to ease of ordering/cost, and Delilah is nearly identical to SO's version of Delina. I have yet to find a ME version that lives up to Delina Exclusif or SO's version of it - I recently ordered decants of Lattafa Thouq and Armaf CDN Imperiale (Delina Ex dupes) and both fell disappointingly flat for me. I'm so pleased that Delilah is delivering Delina vibes 100%!!

Very Rosy and I don't like Roses notes that much, feminine but I can smell Lily's that are too strong as well

This took awhile to be listed on Fragrantica, but in the meantime, it's aged really beautifully. It's a little more jammy & vanillic now than when I first smelt it - roses & rhubarb pie filling. My first impression was that it's a dupe of Delina Parfums de Marly, and that impression hasn't changed, but for me now it's leaning towards Delina Exclusif Parfums de Marly, and it's probably in between the two, and closer to the Arte Bellisimo Romantica dupe than other dupes imo. Performance is excellent, in fact it's a one-spray wonder for me and might be on the strong side for those with sensitive noses. I gave this to my Mom awhile back, and I think she found the new bottle on the strong side - she kept saying "Oh", after spraying it once, lol. I notice the new bottle has a bit more of a petrol undertone that goes away - If you find it strong, let it age a bit. The price has gone up a bit since I got it, but it's still a bargain. It's a love for me. Enjoy!

Oh I forgot to add that if you’re looking for a proper Delina dupe, then Delilah is not! I disagree with perfume bloggers, who claimed it’s 99% similar. It’s just not, guys :) But I heard there should some good dupes by the dupe companies (i think be layered but not sure)

On the initial spray it smells like fresh cut roses, which settles down to a beautiful sort of fresh rose scent. Absolutely love it.
Although I still feel it’s a little overhyped:)

I haven’t tried Delina but I didn’t want to spend that money, so I bought this after hearing the rave reviews.

First smell I loved and hated it and now I’m warming to it. It’s strong but not chokeworthy. You can smell the rose most predominantly in this. Then I get what smells like sherbet but with a more grown up feel to it. On first spray, that sherbet tang comes off a little menthol but that does go. I am looking forward to wearing this over the summer and I’m sure I will grow to love it. My fourth bottled Arab perfume (I usually buy roller) and this is actually one I like!

Ok , to me this smells Very very very similar to Intense cafe by Montale, I know it's crazy 'cause this fragrance lacks the coffee note, maybe it needs time to macerate a bit? 😳Idk , It's almost like if intense cafe by Montale and roses vanille from Mancera had a baby.

➡️Comentario adicional: si huele a Rosita, y es dulce pero no empalagoso, no lo siento aseñorado, es un poco atalcado pero dulce , esa nota de café que le siento no tengo idea 😳, veremos en unos meses si persiste y solo necesitaba maceración.

brixbrat

this is such a beautiful warm feminine scent with amazing value for the price and lasts forever on me. i get compliments literally everyday -- people will literally stop me in the street / in the supermarket / at work and demand to know what im wearing. i think it'll be my signature scent for a long time.

I think this is a beautiful rose. I never smelled Delina so cannot compare. it is not as fruity as very good girl, more red rose. For the price it is quite strong and long lasting, give it time to settle after spraying, gorgeous.

The Yummiest

Full disclosure, I'm a gourmand girl but I can do some fruity and light girly florals. This fragrance is highly rated both the OG & the dupe so I went for it. Plus I like the bottle but...no, it's just too strong for me. All I get is strong rose, I don't get any of the fruit or vanilla and again, it's just too damn strong. Maybe it needs to macerate...I'm not going to wait for that, its not that serious. I've even tried layering it but it just isn't me.

This may not be as much an assessment of the scent itself and more an issue of taste but the smell was slightly headache inducing for me. Beast mode but not in a good way. If this is your thing, it could work for you. I've never smelled the original, so I can't speak on how much it smells like the real Delina. But I clearly need to stick to what I know and love, this cinged my nose hairs.

Ok I own Delina Og and Delilah , but I’ve never tried D Exclusif , so I don’t know how Delilah compares with this one. I start by saying Alhambras Delilah definitely needs maceration, as the scent has changed comparing to what it smelled at the first spray. My Delilah has been macerated 1,5 months by now and it’s still not exactly like Delina : - it’s more rose dominant , less rhubarb dominant, it has more nutmeg or some woody notes, it’s less creamy than Delina. To me Delina is more crispy and sour and creamy at the same time, it’s more girly light vibe, whereas Delilah is less crispy for sure , feels more mature.

I like Delina more than Delilah particularly because i like that crispy, sour rhubarb note, which Delilah lacks. I still use both perfumes - i put Delilah as a deodorant and Delina to the neck and hair :)

if you’re looking for a proper Delina dupe, then Delilah is not! I disagree with perfume bloggers, who claimed it’s 99% similar. It’s just not, guys :) But I heard there should some good dupes by the dupe companies (i think be layered but not sure)

Upd: Now I’m also owning Zimaya Taraf white which is said to be a dupe to D a la rose. Taraf white is good but not super as there’s like a mineral marmour note :) which I don’t enjoy, so I’m currently letting it macerating.
Also, try layering Delilah with Lanvins Rumour 2 rose - it gives Delilah more sourness and lightness, which i like.

For my south asian girlies, this smells very similiar to rooh afza mixed in sprite. You got the sweet, rosy and somehow fizzy notes. To me, it's happiness in a bottle. Makes me feel like the main lead barbie in that mariposa movie. XD its cute afff. The drydown is quite incense heavy, which was slightly off- putting for me as i tend to associate incense notes with agarbattis (indian incense sticks) Except that, everything's great about this fragrance.

angelinamartinez

to me this smells almost just like very good girl, however it is woodier. i did just get this perfume so it will likely change over time. i noticed the rose note can smell very strong, or "sharp" when it is first sprayed, but it becomes softer in the dry down, it could be the base notes of vanilla. delilah performs and smells very high end imo; i put one spray on my hand and as i was walking by, my sister said she liked my perfume. i also love the bottle, it looks good w my perfume collection, and the bottle has weight to it :)

Oh my goodness, to the review below me, be careful, sounds excruciating.
Sorry to hear of your negative experiences with this fragrance.
Best to stay away from Al Haramain L'adventure, Armaf imperial & the pink Fatima also then because they all very similar. I enjoy them all very much but understand everyone different.
I love it. 😍

Dostoevskywhore

I got this fragrance a couple of weeks ago cuz I heard it smells like delina i have never smelled delina even though i had the chance but I heard it smells good so I ordered it ( bad idea) so I basically bought a dupe of a perfume i have never smelt in my life fast forward to when it came i did a first smell test with my mom it smelled like vicksss fr i was sick a week before so trust me when i tell you its vicks both me and my mom disliked it immediately but i made a mistake I regret till this second I sprayed it on my clothes when i tell you i could feel my nose clearing up I literally had to change shirts because it was suffocating me anyway ik some arab perfume needs to sit for a while like yara it gets better with time so I popped off the lid and throw it in a an empty drawer I waited like a couple days sprayed it on a napkin ( learned for my mistake) it was still disgusting I threw the napkin as far away from me as possible I could still smell it and it could still suffocate me so I threw it back in the drawer and left it to rot i just looked it up ( because i saw a video of an afnan delina dupe )when i bought it i couldn’t find it on here actually anyway i saw the comment just under my review and i see and i thought ok i’ll give it another chance I already got my napkin also i’m very proud of myself because I’m powering through the ptsd this thing gave me

This is a lovely fragrance. It smells very similar to OG Delina, but a liiittle bit creamier and spicier. Moderate projection, and it lasts for 5-6 hours on me. You need to let it sit for a few weeks, though. When I just got it, it smelled very spicy, a bit minty, but now it smells really nice.

MoreScentsThanDollars

Very, very good!
A great interpretation of the very expensive, extremely beautiful Delina range.
A must have for everyone who wants to smell beautiful, sweet and lovely.
A pretty, velvet smooth, baby pink rose 🌹 🩷

I can't say how much I love this I'd sound obsessed hehe
But honestly after my samples of the beautiful Delina range, when I sadly admitted to myself I couldn't afford them, I was so so happy to be able to buy Delilah.

This is a true gift to everyone watching their budget that longed for the Delina's, as we now, all get to smell so lovely without breaking the budget.

When you get the bottle, give it a good spray and then from that day it will get better and better each day, maceration process is real and this perfume does benefit by it but she doesn't need long, She's pretty good straight away but she definitely benefit by giving her a few weeks.
A very good buy for us humans who want to smell soft, fluffy, rosey pink and rich 💖

Está bien para uso diario, genérico, dulce y suave, sin sobresaltos.

Mnemsys

Smells like a generic light, rosy western style Arabic fragrance to me. Not bad, but there are many similar ones out there in this price range. Doesn't remind me of Delina other than that it's a soft, sweet rose fragrance with sour notes.

coffeebean83

I love Delina so I gladly purchased this dupe of it for backup. I'll get straight to the point. It's a bit of a mix between Delina and the Exclusif imo. This still keeps the sharper tang of the OG with the rhubarb but blankets it in a more creamy layer like the Exclusif. I've let the sit for 5+ months and I'd put it strongly in the "long lasting" vote category. Moderate projection. I'm really enjoying this version. Do recommend.

Add Alhambra Jorge perfumes to fragnatica

Melaniesherriff

They finally added this on to fragrantica. I have had this perfume for a few months, meant to be a dupe for delina. I dont think it is, has similar musky woodsey rosey vibes and that's it. Very pretty but the initial spray is potent and leaves you thinking it's not nice so wait a minute and you will see its actually a likeable scent.
