Delina

Parfums de Marly · 2017

The rose-and-lychee scent that shows up at every wedding and bridal shower.

A tart rhubarb and lychee opening softens a big Turkish rose heart, then settles into a creamy, musky woody base that keeps it from smelling like straight rose water. It reads as polished and a little sweet, which is why it became such a common special-occasion pick.
