Parfums De Marly Delina La Rosee

Mostly the general smell of flowers, without leaning sharp or sweet. Underneath that, clean and airy, the smell of just-washed clothes and open windows.

It opens on litchi, pear and bergamot, moves through turkish rose, watery notes and peony, and settles on white musk, woody notes and haitian vetiver.

• litchi: light, watery and floral-sweet, a little like rose-flavoured sweets
• pear: light watery sweetness with a green crispness

It lasts well and sits close to the skin after the first hour.

Built from the note listing and the measured performance figures. We have not smelled this one.
