What is the scent profile of Rhubarb Rose?

This exquisite fragrance opens with a sharp, vibrant burst of crisp rhubarb combined with juicy lychee and bright bergamot fruit. Within the first thirty minutes, the tart opening softens into a highly sophisticated heart of Turkish rose, delicate peony, and powdery vanilla sweetness. This middle stage represents the true essence of eighteenth century French court elegance, paying homage to the historical royal inspiration behind the original house of Parfumes De Marly Delina. After three hours, the scent transitions into its dry down phase, revealing a comforting base of warm cashmeran wood, earthy vetiver, and clean white musk that lingers beautifully on skin. This magnificent scent profile offers an incredibly luxurious experience, balancing modern freshness with our timeless French perfumery heritage.

Longevity & Projection

• Longevity: Outstanding (typically projects for 8 to 10 hours of noticeable wear, while our Fractionated Coconut Oil base anchors the scent deep into your skin cells).
• Projection: Moderate to strong (creates a elegant, head-turning scent bubble and sillage trail).
• Best Season: Spring and Summer (when high temperatures naturally amplify the sweet floral and fresh green rhubarb notes).
• Best Occasion: Elegant daytime garden parties, formal bridal occasions, high tea, romantic dates, and daily luxury wear.

What Makes Parfumes De Marly Delina a Unique Floral Fragrance?

Unlike traditional roses, this composition creates an addictive, modern freshness that feels both youthful and incredibly sophisticated.

What Is the Scent Journey of Parfumes De Marly Delina?

The olfactory journey of Parfumes De Marly Delina, originally composed by master perfumer Quentin Bisch, begins with an energetic, tart burst of rhubarb and luscious litchi. This bright, fruity opening immediately transitions into a rich, powdery heart dominated by Turkish damask rose and the captive synthetic molecule Petalia, which lends a luminous peony aspect. As the fragrance matures over several hours, it settles into a warm, sensual base of cashmeran, soft vanilla, and a whisper of incense. This dry-down creates an incredibly long-lasting, sophisticated trail that clings beautifully to the skin.

How to Wear Rhubarb Rose

Applying your fragrance correctly ensures optimal projection and longevity throughout the day.

• Pulse Points: Apply the roll-on directly to inner wrists, behind the ears, the base of the throat, and the inside of elbows. These warm areas of the skin help activate and project the luxurious fragrance notes.
• Layering Tip: Enhance the modern Turkish rose heart by pairing this scent with a clean, white musk base or a light citrus lotion. This adds depth and creates a unique personal scent signature.
• Seasonal Wear: This bright, rose-heavy fragrance performs beautifully during spring and summer when the warmth coaxes out the tart rhubarb and sweet lychee notes. It is also sophisticated enough for year-round evening wear.
• Longevity Tip: Apply to moisturised skin for maximum longevity. The Fractionated Coconut Oil base adheres to hydrated skin significantly better than dry skin, extending the life of the scent.
• Customise Your Scent: Add 1–2 drops of a purelyBlack essential oil to personalise the fragrance. We highly recommend pairing it with our pure rose or sweet orange essential oils to accentuate the vibrant floral profile.
