Maison Alhambra

Delilah

2023

“Delina’s little sister. The pink-rose compliment machine for spring brunches and garden parties.”

Delilah
rose
floral
fruity

Maison Alhambra's 2023 Delilah is widely compared to Parfums de Marly Delina (2017), following its rhubarb-litchi opening and Turkish rose heart over a soft vanilla drydown. Rose leads the accords, with floral, fruity and musky facets and a fresh, slightly powdery finish. A spring daytime scent, with summer close behind.
