Perfume Review – Parfums de Marly Delina

March 26, 2025 By in Lifestyle, Product Reviews Tags: , , , , , 2 Comments

Delina by Parfums de Marly has been on my radar for a while. I finally got my hands on a bottle some months ago, and I am glad I now have this fantastic fragrance in my perfume collection. For those unfamiliar with this lovely scent, Parfums de Marly Delina was launched in 2017, and it is a floral, sensual fragrance that screams femininity. I have been using Delina for some months, and I keep falling deeper and deeper in love with this perfume. It is all I dreamed it would be and more.

Perfume Review – Parfums de Marly Delina

I love discovering new scents, and getting to explore Parfums de Marly fragrances has been a game changer. I have tried most of their perfumes, thanks to the discovery set, and they are so good! Here is a bit more about the lovely Delina –

A charming and firmly modern floral bouquet. Delina is a highly nuanced fragrance which is both sweet and sensual. The eau de parfum relishes in its floral accords which are dominated by damascena rose, lily of the valley and peony, blended with the rounded tangy notes of lychee, rhubarb, bergamot and nutmeg. Vanilla accentuates the sensuality of the composition at the base, mingling with white musk, cashmeran, cedarwood and incense.

What I am watching on Amazon Prime TV and Netflix

Amazon Prime TV and Netflix are keeping me very busy. I am not so much of a TV person but when I do watch, it has to be good. There are so many interesting series and movies currently on both streaming platforms. Here are the programmes I have been watching –

The Wheel of Time Season 3

I am so excited The Wheel of Time Season 3 is here. It is one of my favourite series on Amazon Prime and it premiered today, which is great. I am looking forward to seeing the entire season 3 because season 2 was just amazing.

Married to Medine Season 11

This new season has been so good. Full of lots of drama with Quad’s new man and all. I have found this season a lot more entertaining than the previous season, and I am looking forward to watching the rest of the episodes and the reunion as well.

The Real Housewives of Potomac Season 9

I didn’t really enjoy watching this new season. It wasn’t as interesting as the previous seasons and I think the quality of the cast and their lack of interesting story lines is to blame. There’s still the reunion part 2 and 3 to watch, so hopefully those are worth watching, but so far, it has been massively underwhelming to say the least.

The Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 16

I have only watched the first episode of the new season and it looks great. There are so many faces I need to familiar with, but they look like they would be interesting to watch, and I am looking forward to the entertainment. Some of my favourites are back as well, so I expect lots of drama.

Cursed Season 1

This is a series I am currently on Netflix. I love the storyline which is bases on a book with the same name by Frank Miller and Tom Wheeler. It is a shame there won’t be a season 2 as I am really enjoying season 1. This fantasty series  is about a young Fay girl with mysterious powers, and it is worth a watch if you are into the supernatural.
