Wearers say

Wearing it

Wearers call it a beast-mode, all-day rose for fall and winter that earns compliments. Blind buyers regretted it, so sample first.

How far it carriesAcross a room, beast mode

Perfumers call it sillage.

Wearers call it beast mode: one spray fills a room and gets noticed by others.

“It's SO strong, beast mode crazy sillage. I only did one spray on one wrist and the scent literally lingered in my entire room for a good few hours.”

Most say

Most wearers call it very strong, a beast-mode scent that others notice.

“Delina exclusif is definitely a very strong fragrance. Even if you spray it, the remaining fragrance will dry in the atomizer.”

Reddit comment, r/FemFragLab, 2024

“It announces itself and will be noticed by others, but it's not suffocating. I just really REALLY love it!”

Reddit comment, r/fragrance, 2022

Some say

Some wearers say a single spray or a small amount is enough.

“Delina Exclusif is such a busy, nuclear, beast mode perfume. It does not need to be layered. One spray and you'll have projection and sillage all day.”

Reddit comment, r/FemFragLab, 2024

“Delina Exclusif is kind of a powerhouse too, so it's not something you need to use a lot of at a time to get good longevity.”

Some say

Some wearers keep it for special occasions and nighttime and find it too heavy for daily wear.

“Delina Exclusif is perfect for special occasions but it's definitely not a casual fragrance, I'm not sure if you meant that you wore it to work”

Reddit comment, r/FemFragLab, 2024

“Delina exclusif- this to me is only a nighttime, special occasion perfume. It is way too heavy and sweet to wear daily imo or in heat.”

Some say

Some wearers hear it as grown-up or even old-lady.

“Delina Exclusif is somewhat similar but it smells more grown up with prominent oud & incense. It is a deeper and more complex scent imo.”

“If you think DE smells too old or matronly, nothing you add is going to change that.”

Reddit comment, r/FemFragLab, 2024

As a blind buyBlind buyers regretted it; sample first

Both wearers who bought it blind regretted it, and others advise sampling first given the price.

“These are definitely not blind buy safe. PDM has a discovery set which you should probably get in order to try all of them out.”

Reddit comment, r/FemFragLab, 2026

A few wearers say its strength makes layering unnecessary.

“Delina Exclusif is such a busy, nuclear, beast mode perfume. It does not need to be layered. Adding MORE perfume to a busy perfume like DE doesn't “bring out” anything.”
