My first Parfums de Marly - the hit!
Now I have to plead guilty: I have yet to test a Parfums de Marly fragrance. Even though everyone always raves about Delina and Cassili, nothing has moved me to test the fragrances yet.

Then on the Parfumo home page came the little pink bottle as a newbie. With the color pink I was immediately picked up and had to look at the fragrance notes - I am then just too girly. Raspberry and marshmallow appealed to me right away and since I'm more into the designer world and not necessarily at home in the niche, I hoped the scent would still be pleasing. There were immediately drawn comparisons to love dont be shy by Kilian, but I also do not know and can unfortunately say nothing about it.

So said done: sniffed at Parfumo in the souk and found a dear lady who sent me a filling. Today she arrived. Immediately I tore open the envelope to spray me the fragrance. Despite my impatience, I waved my arm back and forth twice, trying hard not to put my nose to the scent right away.... The waving was already sending a sweet cloud my way, so I did bring my hand to my nose right away.... and then... BOOOOOMMM!!!!!

The scent:
The beginning is super fresh/citrusy, but really not for long. The first few seconds the grapefruit comes through for me quite dominant, but not bitter at all, but rather fresh, almost sweetish. After the next neutral inhale and sniff again, however, the scent has already changed again for me. Fruity notes come in. The currant I perceive almost not at all, which is very good for me, because I get a headache with too strong currant unfortunately always. Instead, the raspberry is all the more present and beautiful. Not tangy fresh, but rather sugared, but still true to the original and not strongly synthetic - which I find great. The orange blossom joins in, on the same level as the raspberry. The heart of the scent is so beautifully fruity sweet, making it a perfect fit for me in the spring and summer.... just heavenly...maybe you can already tell I'm in love! The fruity notes are insanely great highlighted by the sweet base notes. The marshmallow is quite present here. This is a really nice powdery marshmallow. So not sticky, but with this powdery layer on top. I'm sure you've seen these before. The cream and the musk support the sweetness and round it off creamy.

So I don't want to go out on a limb, but this could smoothly become a new candidate for a signature scent. This one really goes all the time. Sweet and fruity, but not too loud. Goes guaranteed also discreetly dosed in the office and makes a good mood, even in bad weather.

It is a very young fragrance. So he fits well with women in their mid-20s (like me, that's why I talk myself beautiful).... Of course everyone is allowed to wear what they want and a fragrance knows no age or gender, but that would be my first association now.

The sillage and durability:
The sillage and longevity are solid, but by no means slaying or overpowering. The scent hovers around you as a small bubble for the first few hours, after which it becomes skin tight very quickly.

But come on - since I'm an absolute oversprayer anyway, I don't care. With a few more sprays you also get the to a sweet marshmallow beast - and if not - is re-sprayed.

So far I have seen him in Germany yet on any website, only on the Parfums de Marly page. Sobalf he is there in German perfumeries, I will buy him immediately as a bottle! Simply just wonderfully beautiful.....

I thought it was you
Dear Oriana,
when I saw your fragrance notes, I really thought it was you: the holy scent grail, the fragrance I was always looking for. Minimally citrusy, very fruity, and creamy on the finish. Well, the marshmallow note listed put me off a bit, I can't do so much with sugary sweetness, but I thought the other notes will make up for it and it won't be that prominent. This aversion to marshmallows (also to eat) is also the reason why I do not know your much-mentioned cousin Love Don't Be Shy Perfume and so can not draw a comparison between you.
It also started so well with us: juicy citrus fruits play around my nose directly after the first spray. One notices already the sweetness in the background, but keinewegs disturbing, but very finely interwoven and the Zitrik rather supporting. Reminds me of the super delicious lemon candy from Lake Garda with effervescent core, which I like to snack so much.
Quite quickly then come your remaining fruit notes, but the berries seem quite synthetic and not really authentic. I personally find that per se not even so bad, but somehow I am missing the fruitiness here and the heart note seems a bit dull - maybe it's because of the orange blossom? Oriana, here you have me unfortunately the first time disappointed.
The hoped for cream in the base is then also missing, creamy-creamy as hoped for you are not for me. You just get sweeter and ambrette and the musk take over. This was the second disappointment.
Dear Oriana, maybe you are not to blame at all, and I was just too blinded and too hopeful that you will become my great new fragrance love? I don't know, but we definitely still need to talk about the third disappointment: Your (lack of) uniqueness. Well, with so many new launches every year, it's obviously going to be hard to reinvent the wheel, but somehow I've come to expect more from your creators. After all, you are the mare from one of the most famous racing stables here and there you should already stand out from the mass of fragrances. But you don't. Not even through your performance (what a stupid word). But from a perfume where the mililiter costs 3 €, you can already expect a certain durability and radiance - I think. But here too, unfortunately, you do not convince, 5 hours are indeed solid, but that's not even a whole working day. Oh Oriana, there can also unfortunately your chicer pink bottle nothing more herausreißen, which is really an eye-catcher. I stay with your sister Meliora , which I adore, as you surely know, and take trips with Cassili from time to time. You may also stay, but best friends we probably will not, too bad.
You nevertheless in certain affection zugetan

I plead guilty
I was also at the first sight of the pink bottle briefly inclined to raid my account and just buy the fragrance blindly. Reason ultimately prevailed and I ultimately got me only a small filling.

When the perfume finally arrived, I was actually initially incredibly relieved that I had not bought a bottle. The prelude is actually quite citrusy-fruity. Nothing special, but also flies quickly. What comes next is for me the total extra bubble gum for kids in pink smell. But even that doesn't stay too long, maybe half an hour. The perfume was described as "mille feuilles" and indeed it has several layers. The dry down is the best part for me. In fact, I like it so much that maybe I should have bought a whole bottle after all. I find it fluffy, sweet, creamy and a bit powdery. Mostly now I can detect the marshmallow, musk and a soft orange blossom. And what I actually like the most is that the sillage is rather restrained. I'm not a fan of too loud fragrances. They don't suit me and anyway, I find it better when the perfume doesn't impose itself and just smells for me personally and people who are very close to me. The durability is definitely stronger, with 6 hours I could definitely count on

Not mine.
Oriana unfortunately falls short of my expectations.

The fragrance starts with a lot of tangerine and unfortunately with a lot of grapefruit, which smells very bitter for my nose, so tastes exactly like grapefruit. In the background is indeed a very nice soft sweetish note, which constantly fights a battle with the bitter grapefruit in a discordant and disturbing way. The raspberry note is nicely done and in drydown gives the scent a nice sweetness that unfortunately can't displace the bitter note from the grapefruit. Marshmallow notes join but with LDBS has this fragrance, even if in both fragrances this note occurs, zero to do in my opinion. The comparison I do not see with the best will in the world. Oriana is sour and bitter with sweet undertones, where LDBS is very sweet from A to Z.. Ambrette gives Oriana in the base a kind of, " hairdresser" vibe, hairspray etc, which my nose can not stand at all. The flacon I find creepy..

Durability is quite o.k but sillage is underground...

Falls short of expectations...

Oriana I received on Saturday as a bottling. Actually, this filling was intended for my girlfriend, but of course I had to test Oriana also. The opinion of me and my girlfriend were this time so almost coincident, but more about that later.

Oriana opens with a beautiful fruity top note, which could really convince. Here there are the following notes to smell: Mandarin, bergamot, grapefruit, currant, raspberry and orange blossom. The top notes and heart notes have a very smooth transition in Oriana. The heart note was almost immediately recognizable after spraying on. The problem, however, is that the top notes and heart notes wear off quickly. After a little over 30 minutes comes the really very unpleasant and boring base note. It's just a sticky sweet affair here. I have experienced this sweet and sticky base note many times in cheap sweet or fruity fragrances. Unfortunately, the musk note is very distracting here and also this weird milky creamy component combined with ambrette. The base note really makes Oriana very tiring for me and my girlfriend. I would even go so far here and say that the base note breaks the fragrance.

I and my girlfriend prefer here clearly Kirkè, which is cheaper and better implemented and has no extremely annoying base note.

Unfortunately, durability is also only average. After 6-7 hours Oriana is already no longer smell. This is unfortunately not enough for me, because Oriana is also not a cheap fragrance and in fragrances of this direction there are enough alternatives with a very good shelf life. The silage is a little over an hour at an arm's length perceptible, then Oriana is very quickly close to the skin and remains so until the end.

Oriana is unfortunately thus a disappointment and for me no flacon - purchase worth.

Sorry but this smells like clothes detergent. The men line is a masterpiece (I.e Oajan, herod) but the feminine one should be reconsidered!

Like a distinguished version of Froot Loops. Sweet, fruity with a little bit of sugar. Evolves into a feminine-leaning fruity, creamy scent

Dolce Pour Femme's less classy, much sweeter "IT girl" sister. It's not bad, but the scent & performance doesn't match the price tag,
