Thank you for your review. I love Delina and I’ve been on the fence about blind buying D.exclusif.... once you said powdery, that sealed the coffin. I’m not into the powdery perfumes . Thanks again!!!!
Delina giving me after dry down fruity/powdery feeling. It's pretty/girly/flirtatious. Definitely happy pink fragrance ❤️ Very nice but I'm so happy that I purchased just travel spray. I don't hate this but 320 $ for fragrance like this? Sorry but no.
I adore Delina. I got a lot of green the first time I smelled Delina and now I only smell the rose and fruitiness! I wish I could smell the green again haha. Great review!
I know what you’re saying! I have perfumes that smell different to me now, not completely but I’ll pick up notes that I didn’t before. Thanks for watching 💕
I haven’t tried the original Delina because I’m not generally a fan of florals, however I do have Delina Exclusif. I’m really not a fan of powdery scents either but my skin must get rid of the powdery feel to it because I definitely don’t get much powder when I wear it. To me, I love Delina Exclusif solely for the drydown. Every level is gorgeous but WOW the drydown is TO DIE FOR on my skin. Sooooo warm and feminine and gorgeous. It also lasts for DAYS on my clothes. There was a time I had sprayed it on my skin and wore my boyfriend’s shirt and he said he could still smell it after he washed his shirt 😂 I hadn’t even sprayed it on the shirt! I would love to smell Delina though, just for comparison. Maybe I would enjoy it, despite it being a floral perfume. Also, is Layered now called Alexandria Fragrances? The packaging looks identical! Alexandria Fragrances has a dupe called Lady Diana. You should definitely check them out! They have a dupe for Delina and Delina Exclusif. They even have a dupe for Baccarat Rouge 540 that I LOVE
Yes! Delina and Delina Exclusif last for daysssss on my clothes and hair. Most of my frag friends do prefer DE over Delina. On them it’s creamy and not as powdery but for whatever reason DE and First Kiss Exclusive pulls like that with my chemistry. Alexandria is a sister company. I have tried their BR540 dupe Interplay and it was so close! But BR540 and Interplay are other ones that don’t work with my body chemistry 😩
@@rebecacollazo it’s so weird how chemistry affects stuff!! Everything pulls warm/ambery on me most of the time so it makes sense that it works on me haha. I really want to try a sample of the real BR540 just to compare, but I LOVE Interplay on me, so does my boyfriend ♥️ I wish it worked for your chemistry because it’s a beautiful scent!
Im actually a residential and commercial painter of 18 years. Usually warm soapy water takes off primer,semi-gloss. The longer your hands soak in the soapy water the easier it gets to %
Thank you for the review as well letting us know where we can get sample size. Delina Excliff smell just like Absolute by Gerline don’t know if they even make it anymore but smell just like it! Not into powdery sents. Thank you so much 😊
Am i the only one who does NOT find DE to be long lasting at all?! I'm so frustrated, because of the pandemic, everything is closed & based of off reviews claiming how "potent" it is, i ordered it but apart from smelling like a bakery for a couple of mins, it is such a fleeting scent!
I have some fragrances that I become nose blind too like BR540 and Mon Guerlain. I think it’s gone and then someone will ask me what I’m wearing. Did you purchase from PMD or another reputable dealer? I found It to be be super long lasting and I don’t even care for the flanker.
@@rebecacollazo Yes, my birthday is coming up, i don't usually treat myself so i thought i would this time & so i went ahead & paid a hefty amount from the PDM website because i didn't want to come across any fakes & that is why i am SO dissapointed 😔
Noooo 😭💔 That’s so disappointing! I am not sure if you are able to sell it but perfumes have a pretty good resale value. Also some larger department stores will allow return if you are disappointed. Happy early birthday! Mine is coming up soon too! 🥳
@@rebecacollazo I can't be bothered..i'm just going put it down as an experience, & see it as a loss- I live in England, checked everything out & it said VAT etc included, when my package was ready to be delivered, i was asked to pay an additional £56!! PDM said they will refund me(!) I shouldn't have been charged in the first place!..My b.day's on 16th & yours?
I wear the Delina body lotion and hair mist and then layer Delina exclusif over them. For me, this is the PERFECT balance. And to my nose this is a much softer and more feminine fragrance than Delina by herself.
I agree 100% exclusif almost makes me sick when I smell it unless it's extremely cold outside. Its sweet and heavy and sweet and powdery and sweet. Did I say sweet? I like it during the St. Louis winters. 30 degrees and lower. The cold wind takes out the harsh sweetness.
Hi beautiful, I purchased First Kiss and loved it! I had a sample of Delina and compared them both. A month after, I sprayed First kiss again and now it smells very woody and masculine, sour, not as sweet. Has that happened to any of your Be layered fragrances? The sample of Delina still smells sweet and hasn’t changed.
I always found First KISS to be more sharp and peppery in the opening but also, for some reason I don’t find either scent to be too sweet on my skin. It’s more tangy, fresh/floral with a hint of green on me. I’m sorry yours seemed to change so much 🙁
Just received mine and I’ve never smelled Delina exclusive so I wouldn’t know all I know is that first kiss smells very woody , I feel like it smells like glade lol
It’s not super green but my nose definitely gets a green, fresh, citrusy floral and of course tangy. Have you tried First KISS? They are so spot on! I got a sample of First kiss exclusive and can’t wait to sniff how it compares to Delina Exclusif!
I loved your assessment of the products and I agree with your husband. First Kiss is not well blended, I don’t like it. I like Delina, it’s not my favorite fragrance, but it’s so beautiful, feminine and versatile, classy and a little mature. And if I end up not reaching for it much, my mom will gladly take it off my hands. But I get the feeling it will really grow on me. Definitely not a good blind buy for younger women. The Exclusiv is too much baby powder for me.
Thank you!! ❤️ If it doesn’t grow on you, your mom will be really happy! And yes, DE pulls too baby powder on me as well. I haven’t been able to finish my decant of it.
Hi Rebeca Collazo, it’s the musk that I’m not used to. I’ve never had a musky fragrance before. It took me years to love Oud. By the way, don’t you think Delina and Atomic Rose (Initio) smell almost the same?
Rebeca Collazo I feel guilty, fees like I’m cheating on MFK baccarat rouge. As much as I tried to resist I’m in love with PDM Delina. Now i can’t decide which one to wear but I’m getting more compliments from Delina.
Yes!! I have a decant of delina, so I bought a bottle of first kiss because of the videos where they say it a perfect dupe... ohhh but not for me........ If I smell it with love, ok... has similar notes... but I feel first kiss much more woody... I thought that probably just my bottle wasn't as good... but I agree with your husband... I feel Delina very feminine and first kiss not al all
Joanna Kisses I can respect YOUR decision to not promote a brand. All large perfume bottles that were sent to me I gave away to my lovely subscribers. I spend plenty of my own money on perfumes and I am not swayed because I receive something free😂 Thank you for sharing! 😉
Thank you❤️❗️. I love powdery. Maybe I should get the exclusive??? I don’t like masculinity in my scents, so your husbands nose works like mine in women’s perfumes. Thank you. Can you ask him what Adelina he prefers???❗️
Yes, if you like powdery scents Exclusif is more powdery. His favorite is the original Delina. Both are feminine to our nose but Exclusif is more powdery and my husband and I prefer the sharp rhubarb note 💕
Finally! Thank you. But can you clarify: 1. Some says it smells like Incanto shine 2. I got the hairmist. How similar is it? Because what I got smelled stale and flat 3. What is the dry down of delina?
Yes of course! 1. I haven’t smelled Incanto Shine 🥺 2. I find the hair mist to be a lighter/airy version when I sniff as I’m spraying my hair but it smelled very similar to me once it dried down and I smelled my actual hair. Not nearly as intense but very nice. 3. Ah yes, I did go over the dry down super quick, sorry about that. So on me, Delina stay pretty much the same at opening and for the first few hours, then hours later I get more musk and a soft woodsy vibe. This scent is pretty consistent and doesn’t develop on my skin like some of my other scents. The tangy/floral just gets softer and then I can pick up more of the musk and woodsy notes. This perfume is so well blended 💕
I love incanto shine but there is zero comparison. Incanto doesn't last long either. The dry down of delina is super close to the opening to me. It's pretty consistent.
DE is amazing! I have Delina ; wish I’d waited and bought DE but Delina is beautiful too. I don’t think I like Layered but basing it on just one perfume. I ordered a $75 bottle of First KISS Exclusive and I love Delina Exclusif and was really hoping it would be nice. It has a harsh smell, maybe chemically, no creaminess like the real Delina Exclusif. I will try it a few more times but I’m not too happy with it. Speaking of dupes... KDJ Perfumes have a great dupe of LIRA by Xerjoff that is so so yummy and addictive. Maybe you would like to do a review? You have to like gourmand bc it’s a citrusy caramel!
I do have Bella Rosa!! I don’t think they smell similar. I’ve heard it compared more to Delina exclusif and actually prefer Bella Rosa over Exclusif. The musk in Bella Rosa isn’t as over powering and I get a soft powder smell as oppose to the baby powder my nose sniffs in Exclusif. I don’t think the original Delina smells similar because of its tangy rhubarb note. But I love Bella Rosa, so pretty for springtime 🌸
Your descriptions are very good -- articulate and well described. I feel like I understand what you're trying to communicate. I just ordered the Delina from Nordstroms (it was out of stock for a while!), and saw the Exclusif, so was really curious about the that one. I already own the PDM Sedbury scent was really liked it, so looking forward to expanding with Delina. Would you say that the Delina hair scent spray is long-lasting and how long would you estimate? I might get that later on unless it fades too quickly.
Thank you so much for the kind words! 🥰 I also want to expand my PDM perfumes, I hear Cassali and Athalia are beautiful. Glad to hear another suggestion, I will have to look up the notes on Sedbury. I typically wear the hair mist along side the perfume but now I really want to test it out alone. I would still smell it in my hair hours later but I am also a bit of an over sprayer. I would maybe have to give it a go alone to give you my honest feedback ❤️
My Belayered First Kiss just arrived! I love how it smells, BUT (so so sad) it suffocates me. I guess because of the weather here, its too hot and humid. To me, first kiss smell a bit similar to Oscar Dela Renta Bella Rosa without the vanilla. The good thing abt First Kiss - is it sticks on my skin. I put in on, had lunch and took a quick shower and it’s still on my arm. Its a beautiful beautiful feminine scent- i just should never sniff it from my skin so i dont get an asthma attack 😂 i figured i am allergic to harsh musk and vanilla. So any perfume that Id love would have to be very soft and smooth in its musk and/or vanilla. But maybe for the price i wont buy Delina. Its like SJP Lovely to me- i never spray it on my chest. I spray on the back, nape right by my hairline at the back. I cannot spray it anywhere closer to where i can smell it in my face. Or would you recommend i get Delina? Is it “less harsh” compared to Belayered?
I do find First KISS to be stronger at the opening and more sharp but it dries down the same on me. I would say if you can get your hands on a decant. That’s what I did because Delina is so pricey.
I really liked Delina exclusif when I first tried it, I got a bottle and of course now I get super nauseous when I smell it idk what happened I’m so sad because it was crazy expensive. I wish I either got the original Delina or meliora instead!
Awe, that sucks. I do have a few perfumes that I loved and now my feelings have changed but I also wonder if that has to do with the weather, like maybe it’s a cold month fragrance. TFS 💕
Rebeca Collazo it’s winter here in Canada but for some reason it’ll make me nauseous at times :( Also, do you happen to know if Delina and Delina exclusif bottles are both the same shade of pink? On some websites it looks like the exclusif is darker than the original! But in a video they looked the same! I am ordering from a discounted and just want to do all of my comparisons to make sure it is authentic
sugarplumfairy20101 thanks for your response unfortunately I can’t really tell from the photos. I did receive it today and the smell is the same (I had a sample of original to compare) but there was dust inside the cap, and the bead that’s on the tassel doesn’t move at all where my exclusif’s does move. Also the font is bolder on the exclusif but I’m not sure if that’s because it’s a flanker and they just did that to make it a bit different from the original? Visually though the bottles look the same the cap is heavy and fits nicely on the bottle. Hard to know for sure though
Another update, so sorry im flooding your comment section. I have the hairmist of Delina and i compared First Kiss. The hairmist for me is just a tad bit more tart and bright which make Delina better. So i think Im really getting Delina. I’ll ask my husband to get it for me since he likes it 🤣🤣🤣
Lol, I said ask your hubby in another comment 😂 yes, Delina to me is more bright. There is something in all the Layered fragrances they make them just a little more unisex. My husband picks it up right away. My nose can’t detect it as good but he can always tell when I have a layered perfume on. Also, Delina is a more blended perfume, so the notes are just smooth 💕
I’ve seen this in a few people’s overhyped perfumes videos so I don’t think you’re the only one who doesn’t like this 😉 I also have a few frag friends who are not crazy about it either.
I got my Delina travel from FragranceNet.com but I know it sells out sometimes and then I got Delina Exclusif from an eBayer that I’ve used in the past before. Both were 10ml so they cost between 14-19 dollars. I wanted more than the typical 5ml.
I'm a man and wear Delina can you imagine ? I love it, I recently bought Delina clone, which is "Shalina royal essence" for 12$. Delina and Alien for women are my favorite women perfume
Totally! Confident men can pull off anything 😉 I just did a video on my husband’s favorite perfumes on me and his top two are Alien and Delina as well. Now I wonder how Delina would smell on him 🤔 I will have to give it a go!
many influencer said its the dupe in my opinion it is not . Delina has a beautiful opening that first doesnt have but its close by 30 % only ...I really wish influencer will be more honest.
Perfume is very subjective so I don’t think they’re being dishonest. There are also non influencers that find it to be dupes as well. Thank you for sharing your opinion 😉
@@rebecacollazo true but if anyone is planning to buy first kiss ,the fresh beautiful opening of Delina is missing. Delina is way softer and fresh. Save your money or buy samples. I hope that saves people money . Anyways thank your professional reply and being respectful with other opinion. I just wasted my money on first kiss instead of saving that money for Delina itself.
There's something about you that LoOks like JLo..I think if your hair was is like hers, you could be sisters.. maybe even twins !! I knew you look like someone I just couldn't pinpoint it haha
Kathy Leners your are my new best friend👭🏻 LOL!! I l ❤️ JLo. I do have family and friends who say it but it always makes me blush when others make the comparison. Thank you for watching and sharing! 🥰
Hi Carola! Sorry for the confusion! When I say green I mean sharp and crisp. I know in the fragrance community the word “green” is used for more green, grassy notes. At the same time I feel like reviews will vary since our noses pick up different notes. I definitely don’t get fruity or sweet like others say, so it really is personal to each person 💕 Hope this helps and thank you for watching!
Yes, I’ve heard that! I do think it’s stronger and sharper in the opening. Someone also told me FK changed the longer she had it. I’ll have to revisit these two again. Thanks for sharing!
I had Narciso poudree because some said its similar to Delina Exclusif BUT no,no,no..Belayered first kiss jud arrived today and sniff it and oh im soooo in love with it! Its soooo different from NR and its strong...so ended up selling it...lol...
As of right now, the only place I know is on the Layered site. I’m not sure if you can buy small samples individually they usually come in a sample kit but they do have a travel size for less than a full bottle. Hope this helps!
The rose in idole is fresh and green like in Delina but the perfumes are completely different to me, imo. Delina is more tart and idole more fruity. Both have a pink peppery was to them tho.
That would be hard since Idole and Delina aren’t similar to me. The note that is most unique and prominent to me in Delina is the Rhubarb note. I actually picked up a decant of Delina since it’s so pricey and because of the mixed reviews.
UPDATE: So my husband came into the room and smelled First kiss in the air and said “hmm whats that nice smell?” I said “it’s the new scent i got in the mail today” Him: “ I like it. It smells good on you” 😭😭😭 this means i NEED to get Delina. Or should I? HELP! 🤣
My husband really likes Delina (he doesn’t like to say the word Love unless its to me) but I know he does because it’s the one perfume he always mentions. I’d say get the hubs to get it. It will be more special 💕
Rebeca Collazo hi! You wouldnt believe this! I stumbled on a comment on FB in a fragrance group that talked abt a dupe of Delina. Its a dubai perfume clone “Shalina” Royal Essence! Its so good! Almost the same as First Kiss but turns softer rather more quickly. Layered is more potenr but my heartbroke to find out it is now worth 62usd/55ml for a dupe that’s not cheap. While this Shalina version is guess what? 20Usd 100ml! It lasts on my skin 3-4hrs and clothing 4-5hrs. But i dont mind reapplying, so cheap! I wish u can try it :)
K J Oh wow! It even comes packaged very similar. I found it on eBay but for $51 😭 I will keep my eyes peeled and see if I find it cheaper. Would love to compare them. Thanks for letting me know ☺️
Rebeca Collazo yeah, u see? 😂 i saw that one from ebay too, seller couldnt ship it to me thats why i had to find a local seller of cheap dubai clones. Hope u find one too :) i got 2 bottles and ordered 2 back up bottles more, i have a serious problem lol but 80 usd for 4x100ml is not bad at all. My hubby hasd to ask me to change my shirt because i did 4 sprays and he is drowning. Not as loud projection like Layered but, still great i think. Happy hunting! ❤️
