Strong contender
FragDNA score · on paper
The review
Strong contender. That is where Selena lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Delina.
Al Wataniah sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Delina's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $30 it costs 93% less than Delina.
Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Al Wataniah publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.
What it's built to smell like
What it is chasing: lychee, rhubarb and bergamot up top, Turkish Rose, peony and lily in the middle, vanilla, musk and cashmere wood underneath — the shape of Parfums de Marly Delina.
Top
- lychee
- rhubarb
- bergamot
Heart
- Turkish Rose
- peony
- lily
Base
- vanilla
- musk
- cashmere wood
For petals and porcelain. Lychee and rhubarb lift Turkish rose over vanilla and cashmere wood — luminous, feminine, opulent.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
