A decant to judge Bergamot and Lychee for yourself
Delina by Parfums de Marly is an Eau de Parfum, and this page is about trying it in a small size. From Bergamot, Lychee and Rhubarb at the start to Cashmeran, Musks and Vetiver at the end, as the house lists it. With 2, 5 or 10 ml in a glass spray vial you can find out how it behaves on your skin, at your own pace.

The composition
The curve shows the order in which the notes come forward, not their strength.
On the skin
Delina is recorded as opening with Bergamot, Lychee and Rhubarb. How bright or how brief that opening is on your skin is something only wearing it shows. Write down what you notice after a few minutes and again after lunch, and you will see how it moves.
The middle of Delina is recorded as Damascena Rose and Nutmeg. It is where most people decide whether a perfume is for them. Pay attention to what is still there by the evening, since that is the part you live with longest. Notes on a list are a map, and what you notice on your own skin is the territory.
The pyramid of Delina ends on Cashmeran, Musks and Vetiver. Wear the sample until this stage, so you judge the whole arc and not only the start. The opening is the loudest part and the shortest, so let it pass before deciding. What reads as sweet on one person can read as dry on another.
Testing it
No season or occasion is on record for Delina, so let your own days decide. Ask someone you trust what they notice, because your own nose adapts quickly. Leave other perfumes off that day, so nothing interferes. Apply one or two sprays to clean skin, without other scented products nearby.
In the listing, Parfums de Marly Delina stands as a perfume for women. People who tire of scents quickly do well with small sizes. It suits people who like to put a few scents side by side over a week. A label like that is a hint, not a rule: wear what suits you.
The same perfume can be a favourite on one person and a miss on the next, which is the whole case for testing Delina first. What you get is a decant made by FragranceGems from the original bottle, with our label. The house is not involved and it is not an official brand sample.
What you receive
We start with a full bottle of the perfume. Nothing is diluted, mixed or added.
Filled by hand into a clean glass spray vial of 2, 5 or 10 ml and closed straight after filling.
Our own label names the brand, the perfume, the concentration and the size.

It is a small glass spray vial of 2, 5 or 10 ml with our own label on it. It sprays like a bottle, so you apply Delina the way you normally would.
DecantGems classifies it as floral, fruity and citrus. Families are broad, so treat that as a direction and let a few wearings of the sample fill in the detail.
Yes, and it helps. Wear one perfume per day, or one per arm at most, so the scents do not blur. Short notes after each wearing make the choice easier.
The brand
70 perfumes by Parfums de Marly: that is our current list of samples from this house. Every sample is a decant in a glass spray vial of 2, 5 or 10 ml, filled by FragranceGems from the original bottle and labelled by us. You find Parfums de Marly among the niche perfume samples. Trying two or three of them side by side shows what the house is about on your own skin.

Timely info when item was back in stock. Some confusion with info about shipment updates on gls app but what is important: perfume came in perfect condition!
incredible fast delivery l. the fragrance itself its magnificent, the dry down woody base, is intoxicating. it last on me 10 hours plus. great service great fragrance
Good experience overall. Fast shipping without any incidents. Prices are good as well.
Really happy of my purchase. Serious seller, quality products, fast shipping, large catalog. I will order a lot of more !
Shipping was 5 days to Finland. Customer service was very good. Happy with the product also. Will shop again. Only thing I hope is that you guys would negotiate better price for GLS shipping to Finland. But I know that is not always possible. And I noticed the prices were lower than the competitors so the steep shipping price was not that big of a deal. Good job all in all.
Great shop with a fantastic selection and fast shipping. I was very happy with my order. It would have been a nice touch to receive a little sample, especially as I ordered two full-size products. ;)
Placing the order was very easy. Shipping was very fast. I am completely satisfied.
Plenty of perfumes and very good perfumes. Fast shipping. One negative. Expensive shipping from Netherlands to Greece
A selection of recent reviews in proportion to their star ratings.
