What Is Velixir Athena a Dupe Of?

Velixir Athena is a Parfums de Marly Delina clone

Velixir Athena is a clone of Parfums de Marly Delina. We rate the similarity at 92%. Litchi, rhubarb, rose and vanilla connect Athena with the original Delina.

Athena belongs in the Delina conversation because it combines litchi and rhubarb with rose and vanilla. That's a more specific connection than simply saying both are floral. We're comparing Athena with the original Delina Eau de Parfum here, and the 92% score applies to that edition.

Tart fruit around a rose heart

Athena lists litchi, grapefruit and rhubarb in the opening. Bulgarian rose, freesia and vanilla appear in the heart. Its base includes akigalawood, musk, orris root and vetiver, giving the fruit and flowers a set of woody and musky notes underneath.

Delina's catalog profile has litchi and rhubarb too, with bergamot and nutmeg in the opening. Turkish rose, peony and vanilla help build the floral heart, followed by woods and other base materials. The fruit-and-rose connection is the useful thread to follow when looking at Athena beside it.

Rhubarb deserves attention if you enjoy the tart side of this style. Vanilla is another useful detail, especially if you're drawn to warmth around the rose. The lists also show different floral and woody choices, which gives you something more specific to compare when deciding what you enjoy about each scent.

Choosing Athena or the original

If original Delina is already a favorite, Athena is a sensible Velixir to sample. Check the exact PDM edition when shopping, since Delina Exclusif and Delina La Rosée have their own profiles. Keeping the original Delina in view helps you make the most of our 92% similarity rating.
