Parfums de Marly Delina Exclusif

scent of the day: delina exclusif (parfums de marly)

denser and more gourmand than the original, delina exclusif doesn't have that same expansive rose & tart lychee in its first impression. the rose is there, but it's somewhat fenced in by the woody-creamy character of the scent. the fruity notes eventuallly also start to shine through as the fragrance warms on my skin; i expected them to dominate the first wafts, but they are almost a little reticent, though beautifully blended. someone on fragrantica compared it to roses and old books; i can see that in the vanillic base. it fades to a gorgeous skin scent.

delina exclusif is the older, more mature sister of delina (with delina la rosée being the youngest of the trio). it is a sweet scent, perhaps sweeter even than the other two variants, but not cloying, even though this very hot weather we've been having is likely not doing it any favours. i'll be bringing this out again in winter, when i want a cosy rose fragrance. for the current weather, though, i prefer her sisters.

A curse upon Parfums de Marly for making such nice-smelling perfume at such an expensive price point, and a blessing upon my father for enthusiastically accepting A Very Expensive Bottle Of Perfume as a valid suggestion for a dual medical school graduation and birthday gift!

at face value, everyone sees you as pretty but flighty. you don’t mind though. in fact, you encourage it. you play up to their expectations. it’s more fun to wield a sharp wit when they don’t see it coming anyway.

Escapist Post Of The Day: The hype around this one is real, it's very pretty.

Fragrances I think Margaery Tyrell would wear…

Delina by Parfums De Marly

Ok, so I have three rose perfumes on this list for Margaery, because A: She’s a classy lady and what is more the embodiment of class than a rose? B: I love roses. C: House Tyrell’s sigil is literally a rose, D: I love roses. I don’t think we need any more reasons than that. So let’s move on, this perfume house, I mean there's a reason parfums de marly has boomed in popularity as much as it has, their fragrance collections, from the bottles down to the juice, are just the embodiment of beauty and class. So there are exactly three perfumes in this Delina line. Delina, Delina Exclusif, and Delina La Rosée, they are all rose focused perfumes, rose is the main character in all of them but the original has the most florals in the notes so i decided to go with the original Delina since Margaery gives me the vibe of being a floral lover. I can see her also wearing the flankers of this depending on her mood, but I picked the original to be her main since there's more of a floral party happening in the notes. So house tyrell of high garden, rules over a region in southwestern westeros which is noted to be highly fertile land and highly populated. So this has me thinking Margeary would adore perfumes that are floral or give a vibe of spring. Spring is a fertile season and everything is in bloom, so she would have a preference for scents that smell elegant and lush. I have only seen the television series and in almost every scene she was present, the weather or vibe was never cold and harsh so i can’t see her wearing something rich or cloying like a gourmand for example. Her choice or taste in perfumes would lean very floral, if i can imagine her smelling like anything it would definitely be flowers. Another interesting fact is that Delina is a popular choice for many brides, it’s a popular wedding scent and our girl margaery gets married three times, if my memory serves me correctly. I think this would be her pick for her second wedding to Joffrey. It’s light, it’s feminine, it’s sweet, it’s unassuming and that’s exactly how Margaery wants to come off to the Lannisters. She doesn’t want to step on any toes. She wants to be subtle and calculating with every move she makes, and this perfume is perfect for that because it is non threatening. It’s just feminine and demure and that’s exactly how this woman wants to be seen, or rather needs to be seen if she’s going to play the game. So now we arrive at the notes, the top notes greet you with a juicy burst of lychee, rhubarb and bergamot they give it a sweetness, and a sharpness there's a spicy kick from the nutmeg so the opening is quite lively then it settles in the middle with the florals, we have Turkish rose, peony and petalia which are delicate almost powdery florals all wrapped in vanilla and musk this combination is light and creamy. The middle notes, especially with that rose being the main character here, give this perfume it’s notorious feminine elegance, which I think are qualities Margaery highly embodies. Now we get to the base notes where this perfume gets very fascinating, we have vetiver which is known to be a masculine leaning note, this grants this fragrance an assertiveness despite it starting off as quite demure, tell me the way these notes are layered on top of each other isn’t representative of margaery's mask and how we are slowly unravelling the mastermind beneath the doe eyes. Beside the vetiver we have cedar, incense, and cashmeran. They give this perfume such depth and margaery isn’t just a pretty face, she has depth and she’s making big moves to secure her place on the throne. This fragrance remains to be one of my favourites to this day because of its feminine complexity, and I think it is so Margaery. This perfume has bright girly and sweet notes at the top and middle which is the image she so very well wants to be known for, the impression she wants to make on others, the deeper notes at the bottom I think are reflective of her scheming side, and also represent how she felt around Joffrey. Definitely a wise choice wedding scent for the purple wedding.

À La Rose by Maison Francis Kurkdjian

Alright, so for the second choice I went with something extravagant but not as complicated in the notes as our first choice. This perfume is gorgeous and is one of my favourites from this house. Another rose based perfume, as evident in the name but this one feels more simple than Delina. I feel this would be Margaery’s choice for her third wedding to Tommen. He was sweet to her and she felt safer with him, so she would go for a simple fragrance that is honest and doesn’t have all these complex layers to hide behind. I know I keep calling this perfume simple, but trust me that is not a bad thing. It is one of my favourites and if you are a rose lover like myself, you would indulge in this too. Again, it’s very lush and I think this perfume is best suited to warmer weather and like the price of the bottle, it smells expensive. It is said that the perfumer behind this fragrance, Francis Kurkdijan, said that each bottle is made up of 250 centifolia roses, and 150 damasca roses. So if this isn’t a rose explosion in a bottle, I don't know what is. And what is more fitting for house Tyrell? We have bergamot and california orange greeting you at the top, the bulgarian and grasse rose notes taking centre stage in the middle accompanied by other light florals such as violet and magnolia, and everything is enveloped in sensual musk and cedar giving this fragrance the clean, effortless and classy femininity it’s so known for. She would definitely wear this to her second wedding and it would be more obvious that she’s feeling more relaxed and happy because this perfume does just that, brings your mind to a safe space and makes you feel beautiful and feminine. I definitely associate this perfume with positive memories and feelings and i am sure it would do the same for Margaery.

Atomic Rose by Initio Parfums Privés

Now we’re taking a more darker elegant tone with rose. This perfume is an ambery rose, and definitely what I would class as a deeper rose compared to the first two perfumes. Where the first two have a youthful elegance, this one is more sensual and deeper. This perfume has intense projection and lasts you forever. This is a sophisticated fragrance and it is the most assertive on this list, hence the name atomic. It really encapsulates the beauty and danger that is House tyrell. Because every rose has thorns, and this perfume is just that with it’s projection. I feel this would be a perfume Margaery would spray on to feel powerful. Top notes include, pink pepper, hedione and bergamot and the opening has a kick to it, the middle notes are soft florals, bulgarian rose, turkish rose and egyptian jasmine and the base notes offer it it’s warmth with vanilla and amber. Definitely a “Don’t mess with me.” kind of perfume and something as thorny as this is fit for a lady trying to secure her place on the throne.

Fox In The Flowerbed by Imaginary Authors

We’re taking an unexpected turn now. This is now a change from the rose focused perfumes on this list, however I have kept it true and consistent with this still being a floral. I have decided on this one after debating the many other directions I could have gone in because it reads very Margaery to me. Imaginary Authors is a cruelty free brand that takes their inspiration from stories and authors, hence the name. If you are a book lover or you want something cruelty free, I recommend giving this brand a try, they have many unique perfumes and all of them have an interesting story to tell. Margaery is a clever and well read or well informed lady, and we need a perfume that is as clever as she is. So my choice was this. Foxes are quite stereotypically known to be sly, and clever and they are basically the living breathing form of “working smarter and not harder”. Being the cunning beauty that she is, if this perfume isn’t Margaery, I don't really know what is. The fact that it’s called “Fox in the flowerbed” is almost alluding to hiding behind an innocent mask of sorts, in this case the flowerbed being the mask and the fox being the wearer. Kind of like the “Wolf in sheep’s clothing” idiom. I also like how the bottle is this baby blue and looks very happy and bright. We often use colour to portray character and mood, especially in media. The villain often sporting darker colour palettes in opposition to the hero etc. Margaery’s signature colour is a light blue or some shade of a green which not only match the branding of the house of Tyrell, but also these colours are non threatening, which you would want to appear as, especially when manipulating the shit out of a house as domineering and powerful as house Lannister. Which brings me to the scent and the notes, this perfume is very airy. The juice smells just as “innocent” as the bottle looks. I’d describe it as a bright dirty perfume. Happy and bright yet very earthy in quality. The Jasmine gives it this dirty edge but not in an unpleasant way, more of in a natural way. The honey and pink pepper notes really sweeten and brighten this fragrance. There are also very green notes, thistle being one of them and the tulip which is a floral that leans quite green and fresh when compared to other flowers. We also have a frankincense note in here, it adds a sort of mystery to it (I love me a good Olibanum note.) especially when in contrast to the unique mountain air note in here that provides to it a crisp freshness. This perfume is both bright and calm. Can I describe a perfume as ambiverted? Haha, it’s strange because it has the perfect balance of bright and serene notes. It can calm you and uplift you. This is for the girl who wants to be perceived as innocent but can play dirty, and I think this description is Margaery to a T. This fragrance isn’t heavy or overwhelming at all, don’t let that jasmine note fool you. It is actually very light and can be an everyday fragrance. It’s airy and floral, I'd describe it as earthy air in a bottle. Very refreshing and pleasant.

♡  when people say that kids end up like their parents, mai is the prime example, to a degree. her dad is a "rockstar" ( giving very much tom delonge ), lead singer and guitarist while her mom was a well-known principal ballerina for the new york city ballet. it was no surprise that she picked up their hobbies as a child, going on tour with her dad and participating in ballet classes whenever close to home — ballet and music become her first and second loves early in life ♡  her mom died when she was sixteen, leaving behind two people whose lives completely turned inside out overnight. neither of them knew how to cope, so they both turned to things that weren't necessarily the most healthy for them. she turned her focus to dance, practicing more and being completely invested in her ballet career for the next six years. it was three weeks before her audition for the nyc ballet that the long hours or rehearsal and unhealthy focus had the effect she'd been warned against for so long — the smallest injury derailing her entire life yet again, effectively ending her professional ballet career. she was aimless for months, feeling like she was once again floating listlessly through life. it took dozens of therapy sessions and one of her friends with a recording studio to bring her back to life again. when the song went viral online, it reinvigorated her love for music she'd nearly forgotten ♡  while she had finally settled, her dad had done the opposite, his slow spiral taking a nosedive when he nearly overdosed in the middle of one of her first concerts. being so dependent on each other for so long, it didn't take even a moment's consideration before she was flying back home to take care of him, checking him into rehab as quickly as she could and making sure he was comfortable and cared for. it was this incident that the papparazzi caught on camera, branding her as a troubled star with no regard for her fans. she was initially angry about the story, but if it kept her dad's reputation safe, then she was willing to take the fall for him (she's just a girl who loves her dad and i think thats so beautiful .. and sad ) ♡  she's been making music for the past handful of years (im adjusting sabrina's release timeline because i can), her most successful being her most recent album titled emails i can't send, and while the titular track is completely fictional, she's gone on record to say that the other songs are almost all inspired by people in her life <3 oh and she Definitely wears the little outfits sabrina wears oh my god theyre so dreamy imagine them on sana im gonna pass out fr ♡  when it comes to friendships, mai gets attached very easily, despite knowing that its definitely a bad idea. she's loyal to a fault (as seen in her protection of her dad), and will be the first to take a secret to the grave. she holds on to people as tightly as she can because she lives in a constant state of fear that they'll be gone if she doesn't 😀 all she wants is for her friends to be happy and will go to extreme lengths to make sure of it — aka she's not afraid of getting into a confrontation if its in defense of someone she cares about, even if who she's fighting is Also someone she cares about ♡  romance-wise, she is FULLY a hopeless romantic, but i hate to admit it .. my girl has insane imposter syndrome 😭🤚 will constantly ask if her partner still likes her, 'would you love me if i was a worm' type beat. isn't paranoid enough to go through someone's phone, but is silently always second-guessing every conversation and if she said something that gave them an ick or a reason to want to leave aha we love an anxious girlie! is also VERY affectionate, loves pda even though she'll pretend like she doesnt, is extremely touch starved so will 100% try to be touching her partner at all times (think holding hands, playing with fingers, back hugs in the kitchen, etc) haha loves with her whole heart every time i feel bad for her actually

— ❛ 𝘩𝘤 𝘥𝘶𝘮𝘱. ❜

♡ sleeps with a stuffed cow she named moo moo when she was 5, carries a handful of lollipop in her bag at all times just in case (for emergencies!), hiccups when she cries, cries when she's drunk, cries when she's sober, cries a lot actually, has personalized photos and ringtones for everyone in her contact list, cant ride a bike but will happily sit on the handlebars, watches baking tiktoks religiously but burns everything she tries to make, turned down hosting snl because she knew she wouldnt be able to differentiate people laughing at her and people laughing with her, has a tote bag collection — buys them whenever she sees a cute one, can get so engrossed in songwriting and recording that she loses track of time (common), eats cough drops like candy even when she's not sick, loves smelling like dessert (vanilla, fruity scents, etc) & has a king charles spaniel puppy named chiffon (named after the sanrio character)

— ❛ 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘯𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴. ❜

♡  opposite she looks nothing like me, so why do you look so happy? now i think i get the cause of it; you were holding out to find the opposite

exes that ended on bad terms due to your muse finding someone different, someone who wasn't like mai at all. relationship ended abruptly with little communication between the two

♡  bad for business he's good for my heart but he's bad for business, tears me apart when he grants my wishes. all of my friends think i've gone crazy, but they don't know me like my baby

friendship to flirtationship to relationship — the timeline could either be in the past or the future, but this is someone who mai thinks very highly of both as a person and as a partner ( ignore pronouns in lyrics, gender of muse doesn't matter )

♡ i'll also be filling mai's wanted tag, but i figured i'd get the 2 songs i'm obsessed with up there! i'm of course also interested in the usual, like childhood best friends, enemies, frienemies, fwb (she's bad at those tbh), industry friends, etc

and perfume journey update lol when i said delina exclusif was actually good...i lied. i tried to wear it today and it almost killed me
