DELINA

Our DELINA Fragrance Oil is 98% close to the original DELINA perfume launched by the PARFUMS DE MARLY brand in 2017. It has the same notes as are present in the original scent profile. Top notes are Litchi, Rhubarb, Bergamot and Nutmeg; middle notes are Turkish Rose, Peony, Musk, Petalia and Vanilla; base notes are Cashmeran, Incense, Cedar and Haitian Vetiver.

Description

This formulation is a precise molecular reconstruction of the 2017 floral masterpiece. Unlike ethanol-based sprays, this oil-based medium eliminates the sharp alcohol spike, allowing the volatile top notes of Rhubarb and Litchi to emerge with immediate clarity. We utilize a high concentration of captive-style molecules such as Petalia to replicate the specific rosy-floral radiance of the original. The maceration process for this oil ensures that the heavier base molecules are fully integrated, preventing the scent from breaking down under UV exposure or skin heat.

Fragrance Notes

• Top Notes: Litchi, Rhubarb, Bergamot, Nutmeg (provides the sharp, acidic-green opening).
• Heart Notes: Turkish Rose, Peony, Musk, Petalia, Vanilla (forms the dense floral core).
• Base Notes: Cashmeran, Incense, Cedar, Haitian Vetiver (ensures structural integrity and fixative power).

Detailed Fragrance Analysis

The composition relies on a specific ratio of Hedione to enhance transparency and diffusion, ensuring the heavy Turkish Rose absolute does not become cloying. The Rhubarb accord is stabilized using specific nitriles that maintain their tart profile through the mid-drydown. In the base, Iso E Super provides a velvety, woody framework that anchors the more volatile floral elements. This structural stability achieves a consistent scent profile from the first hour through the twelfth.

How It Performs

This oil achieves a linear evaporation curve. While alcohol-based perfumes experience a rapid ‘flash-off’ of top notes, our oil binds to the lipids in the skin. This results in a 10-12 hour longevity period on the epidermis. The sillage is moderate to heavy; it creates a consistent 3-foot scent trail without the aggressive, short-lived projection typical of EDP concentrations.

Best Times to Wear

This fragrance is optimized for temperatures between 15°C and 25°C. The Rhubarb and Bergamot provide necessary freshness for spring and autumn, while the Cashmeran and Incense provide enough density for winter wear. It is ideal for professional environments due to its lack of alcohol-induced projection spikes, and for formal evening occasions where long-term scent retention is required.

Pros & Cons

How It Compares

Compared to the original spray, this oil provides a smoother transition between the tart opening and the floral heart. The absence of ethanol prevents the ‘chemical’ sharpness often noted in the first 30 seconds of the original. At a price of Rs. 1,499 for 12ml, it offers a higher concentration of aromatic compounds per ml than the retail spray version.

What Customers Say

“The accuracy is undeniable. I applied this at 8 AM and could still detect the Cashmeran and Rose base at 9 PM. It is much smoother than the spray.”
“Perfect for layering. It lacks the harshness of the original’s opening but keeps the beautiful Lychee note for hours longer.”

Any Questions?

Is this oil safe for clothing?
As this is a pure fragrance oil, we recommend applying it directly to pulse points. While it lasts 24+ hours on fabrics, it may leave a residue on light-colored silks.

How should I store this?
Maintain the oil in its amber glass bottle, away from direct sunlight and temperatures exceeding 25°C, to preserve molecular stability.

Does it contain fixatives?
Yes, we use pharmaceutical-grade fixatives and Ambroxan to ensure the scent adheres to the skin and maintains its profile throughout the day.
