What Is Maison Alhambra Delilah a Dupe Of?

What is Maison Alhambra Delilah a clone of?

Maison Alhambra Delilah is a clone of Parfums de Marly Delina Eau de Parfum. The connection starts with lychee and rhubarb, then moves into rose and peony. If that fruity rose combination is what you like about Delina, Delilah is worth sampling.

We're comparing it with the original Delina EDP here. Delina Exclusif and Delina La Rosée are separate fragrances, so make sure you're looking at the right reference when comparing notes or shopping for a sample.

How their notes compare

Delilah lists rhubarb, lychee and bergamot up top. Those same three notes appear in Delina's profile. It's a useful explanation for the pairing: tart fruit and citrus alongside the sweeter lychee, with rose waiting in the middle.

Turkish rose and peony show up in both catalog pyramids. Delilah adds lily to its floral heart. When trying them together, we'd focus on the balance between the fruit and the flowers. If rose is the reason you love Delina, that's the part you'll want to compare most closely.

Delilah's base lists white musk, vanilla and cashmeran. Delina's fuller catalog breakdown also includes musk, vanilla and cashmeran, along with notes such as cedar and vetiver. The pyramids above show where those notes sit in each profile. They give you a starting point without promising that two blends will unfold in exactly the same way.

Which should you buy?

We'd start with a Delilah sample if you're exploring fruity rose scents and want to see whether this combination suits you. If you already wear Delina, compare the two through a full wearing. Pay attention to whether you still enjoy Delilah once the opening fruit settles down.
