Is Delina worth it?

Short answer: Sample it first, then buy the bigger bottle: Parfums de Marly Delina is 75 ml at $410 (Bluemercury, in stock), and a 1 ml sample is $7.99 at Scentsplit on Nov 14, 2026.

Parfums de Marly Delina is a sample-first purchase, and if it passes, the larger bottle is the smarter buy: the in-stock bottle is 75 ml at $410 (Bluemercury, in stock) as of Nov 14, 2026, and a 1 ml sample is $7.99 at Scentsplit. It is the pink bottle every girlie on your feed owns, and the small bottle is a commitment-issues tax.

The 75 ml is $5.47 per ml at Bluemercury; the 30 ml is $250 at $8.33 per ml. Bluemercury says its Delina Eau de Parfum prices are shown to BlueRewards members, so the number you see may depend on your login. The decant shops list their bottles as unavailable, including a $320 Fragrances Line listing, so those are not options right now.

What it smells like, per the note list

The notes as listed: top: Litchi, Rhubarb, Bergamot, Nutmeg; heart: Turkish Rose, Peony, Musk, Petalia, Vanilla; base: Cashmeran, Incense, Cedar, Haitian Vetiver. Retailers disagree slightly: one page lists incense in the base, another lists frankincense and omits peony and petalia, so check the brand page before you buy.

Wearers commonly describe a polished, fruity rose: lychee and rhubarb up top, rose and peony in the middle, with a soft vetiver and cedar base. It is very popular, which cuts both ways. The note list reads sweet-pink more than dark-rose.

Who it's worth it for, and who should pass

Worth it if: you like fruity-pink florals and want a bottle that reads polished. Think Bridgerton ballroom, not Bridgerton scandal.

Pass if: you dislike sweet fruit with your rose, or you want a scent that is rare on your feed.
