Both of these come from Parfums de Marly, and both do the same job: a soft, expensive-smelling floral for every day. Delina is the rose that took over Instagram. Valaya is the fresh white floral the house put out after it. We make a 35% Extrait version of each, both £40, so the choice does not have to be a guess.
Rose Elegance, our take on Delina by Parfums de Marly. 35% Extrait, 7+ hours guaranteed, 60-day money-back. Try the 5ml for £6.99, or the 50ml at £40 (buy any 2, get 1 free).
What our own till says
We sell a take on both, same price, same 35% strength, so the comparison is clean. Over the last 90 days Rose Elegance (Delina) sold 18 bottles and Royal Bloom (Valaya) sold 16. Almost level. The rose edges ahead, but only by two.
Reviews point the other way. Rose Elegance sits at 4.8 from 4 reviews. Royal Bloom holds a 5.0 from 2. Those are small counts, so take them lightly, but the quieter white floral is keeping the people who try it.
No rival can publish that split. No rival makes both bottles.
How they smell, side by side
Delina leads with rose. Rhubarb and lychee open it, then Turkish rose and peony, over vanilla and musk. Bright, a little fruity, clearly a rose scent.
Valaya is airier. Bergamot and orange blossom at the top, rose and tuberose in the heart, then clean musk, vanilla and ambergris. Less rose, more fresh-skin.
Want the one people read as a rose? Delina. Want the one that smells like very good skin and soap? Valaya.
Royal Bloom, our take on Valaya by Parfums de Marly. 35% Extrait, 7+ hours guaranteed, 60-day money-back. Start with the 5ml at £6.99, or the 50ml for £40 (buy any 2, get 1 free).
