Delina, Exclusif, La Rosee: Three Roses, Three Very Different Women
On this page
Parfums de Marly Delina is the balanced fruity rose, Delina Exclusif is the darker, sweeter, stronger version, and Delina La Rosée is the fresh, dewy one. Pick Exclusif for fall and winter, La Rosée for warm days, and the original if you want one rose for most of the year.
- Sweetest and strongest: Delina Exclusif.
- Freshest and lightest: Delina La Rosée.
- Most balanced: the original Delina.
All three Delinas share a lychee and rose opening. That is why people mix them up. But they wear very differently, and buying the wrong one is an expensive mistake.
Fragrantica's own side by side review sums it up well: La Rosée is roses "without sweets," the original is the middle ground, and Exclusif is "even more sweets." Here is how each one plays out.
Parfums de Marly Delina
Parfums de Marly DelinaLychee, rhubarb, Turkish rose, peony, cashmeranShop now
Delina is the one that made the line famous. Fragrantica credits perfumer Quentin Bisch and lists lychee, rhubarb, bergamot and nutmeg on top, Turkish rose and peony in the heart, and cashmeran, incense, cedar and vetiver in the base.
It is pink, juicy and bright. Voters lean spring and summer, but many wear it all year. Reviewers disagree on the opening: one found it "screechy" at first, then loved it months later. Another calls it soapy.
Parfums de Marly Delina Exclusif
Parfums de Marly Delina ExclusifLychee, pear, Turkish rose, incense, vanillaShop now
Exclusif takes the same rose into the evening. Fragrantica lists lychee, pear, bergamot, pink pepper and grapefruit, then Turkish rose, agarwood and incense, with vanilla, amber, woods and musk in the base. The brand calls it "mysterious, intense and seductive."
Fragrantica's comparison piece describes it as a Middle Eastern pastry shop, with honey and nougat vibes. Reviewers often call it a powerhouse that shines in fall and winter. One fan prefers its creaminess to the original. One critic found it sour on their skin.
A label note: the Parfums de Marly US site lists Exclusif as a Parfum, while Fragrantica lists it as an Eau de Parfum.
Parfums de Marly Delina La Rosée
Parfums de Marly Delina La RoséeLychee, pear, rose, peony, white muskShop now
La Rosée is the morning version. The brand describes "fresh morning dew caressing rose petals," with bergamot, pink pepper, lychee and pear, then rose and peony, on white musk, vanilla and vetiver. Fragrantica adds watery notes to the heart.
It is the easiest of the three to wear to work. Reviewers mostly describe moderate lasting power and a close trail. One calls it "a rose garden covered in sugary dew." A critic calls it watered down Delina.
