I let you find me
One day while browsing I discovered this fragrance, did some quick research here and then ordered it a few days later. When it arrived it was love at first sniff, not a resounding one like Delina's, but love nonetheless. Ok, I realize I should stop measuring everything against her... So back to this treasure here. I smelled and tasted a strong coffee with milk and a hint of chocolate. The coffee has been sitting for a while, but is still reasonably hot. It could also be coffee chocolate or filled tartlets with coffee filling and peach jelly, so a delicious story. I don't know the original, and to be honest, I'm not interested in it. The fragrance progression is very linear, but I've never been bothered by that. I absolutely can't confirm the lousy longevity and sillage from my side. My boyfriend smells the fragrance when he walks into the living room and I'm at the other end of the room, and we're talking about a room measuring 21 square meters. However, I did make the mistake of overdoing the fragrance. A few hours later, I'm surprised at the restlessness and shakiness I feel. My body actually thought I had drunk several cups of coffee in one go and behaved accordingly. It even went so far that I had to help myself with relaxation exercises. I think this fact speaks volumes as to whether this perfume is a good coffee scent. For me at least, it does its job more than well, the value for money is unbeatable and I no longer feel the need to keep searching. There are fragrances where you want to get to know as many scents as possible, and there are some that interest you, but where just one scent would be enough. But maybe I'm the only one who feels this way. I've always been interested in coffee fragrances, but I've never really actively searched for a coffee fragrance, and now French Coffee has found me and makes me very happy. Absolutely great for layering, with NYCCrush from SJP or with Vanilla Banana from CSP, Yummy!

Dear Delina,
What have you done to me? I didn't think anything of it, you were supposed to be a reference for Souvenir floral Bouquet...I just wanted to know who you were and what I could expect. You just lay there as a sample and waited. I was currently working on the background pads for one of my songs and wanted to test you in between. The evening sun was shining through the window...
After the first millisecond you blew me away, you left me speechless with your beauty. I don't have the words to describe you soberly as a perfume, because it sounds too banal and doesn't do you justice. You are so balanced, so floral, but also juicy, fruity and a little smoky, with rose coming out the strongest. You make something inside me vibrate. You take me in like no other fragrance before, when I have you under my nose, everything else around me becomes blurred. I can smell you in the track I mentioned earlier, because you synaesthetically fit perfectly with some aspects of the background pads I was working on during your test. It didn't feel like an arbitrary connection of my brain, more like something from a higher power, because the pads also had smoky, shimmering and magical aspects to them sonically. Your scent always wafted from my wrist into my nose when I was producing...you burned yourself into me, I had to have you at some point and eventually you moved into my collection. Rationally speaking, you're not quite my cup of tea, I like it even fruitier, sweeter...yes, even more floral, but you're everything at once and even more, you're cheeky, wicked, engaging, sparkling, playful, but in no way childish, you're perfect. I have often fallen in love with fragrances, but I am obsessed with you. You turned my head so much that I had to write a song for you. I would have grabbed my own head at the idea of writing a song about a fragrance, but with you it felt completely right. As they say, love moves mountains and that doesn't necessarily exclude the love of a perfume. I really wanted to include a part of your essence in it and have incorporated your elements such as the sprayer, lids etc., so that others also have something of you. I recorded the vocals and wrote the lyrics under your influence to make it as authentic as possible. In general, you made me feel incredibly at peace with myself and for this reason you were often my scent on stage. You focused me on the moment. I was able to give my best even more with you. When it was hot and I was threatening to collapse, you kept me in reality with your delirious nature. You are all that is good, radiant, beautiful, intoxicating...that's how I imagine the effect of many a drug substance works. Once you're there, you don't leave so quickly...you definitely stay with me for 10 hours, I'm scent-blind as far as you're concerned, but you seem to leave quite a cloud. I realize that it sounds melodramatic, but you are the scent of my life because you break all dimensions. I didn't realize until now that a perfume could make me feel so strongly and I can't imagine ever loving a fragrance more.
You are Delina, you are more than just a perfume, you are a muse, you do incredible things!
i love you forever

The lighter Delina
A very dear friend, also a fragrance addict, drew my attention to Lisivanilli's statement, luckily for me...I had never seen Fatima before, there were no fragrance notes...how could it be otherwise, I ordered it immediately after a short further research. As soon as I read something that has to do with Delina Eau de Parfum, my inner Gollum goes into my treasure mode. Anything that seems remotely Delinaesque screams for me, or me for it? either way, I'm completely obsessed with it. I can't tell you what she does to me, but there is a before and after her...but will come elsewhere at some point and not in this review :D
Now to Fatima: She's not just good, she's amazing. As similar as the bottles feel and perhaps look, the perfumes are also very similar. Fatima is a little taller and wider and the engraving seems to be glued on. I once had the color described to me, but forgot
About the fragrance, Fatima is Delina! She's not trying to disguise herself as Delina or be her, she is. Just a different version of herself. Nothing is added here. While Souvenir floral Bouquet is Delina on the hunt, where the wicked side is emphasized, this is a lovely Delina who loves everyone and keeps her fire in check. In Fatima, the floral fruity notes are even more pronounced and make the overall impression somewhat lighter and more accessible. The scratchy side, the smoky sourness that might bother some, is very much reduced here, if not barely present, yet Fatima is by no means trivial. It is Delina with all her character traits, only Fatima emphasizes other personality traits.
For those looking for a sweeter, brighter Delina without compromising the Delina experience, here she is. I notice the strongest differences in the opening. Delina is right there, bam, with all her stunning beauty, her fire...Fatima is a little sweeter at the beginning, but develops very quickly into the dearer, identical twin sister. Hard to tell the difference. If no one knew you were wearing Fatima, they would think of Delina.
Value for money is insane, especially for the whole Delina experience. Souvenir Floral Bouquet and Fatima are in my opinion the best and above all equal alternatives, only for less money and I would recommend both without hesitation, but for those who can't pay the pretty penny for Delina or maybe don't want to, but want to experience the Delina feeling for a small price, rather reach for this one, because here not only the fragrance is right, but also the packaging, or rather the bottle. However, as already mentioned, I can only judge this from a tactile perspective.
It lasts about 8 hours on me, I can only judge the sillage moderately, but the overall impression is that it can be worn absolutely everywhere, even in everyday life. I love it very much and have to be careful, otherwise I would float through everyday life completely high. THE emotional effect is one of my assessment characteristics of a Delina sister. If she manages to evoke the same feelings in me as Delina, then I know for myself that she is good.
For everyone who has read this far, thank you for your perseverance

Intense Café, only more beautiful
I picked up this fragrance at Notino last June. I found it festive, sweet and slightly oriental, which I expressed in my statement at the time. Due to the time of year, it seemed inappropriate and so I let it sit and didn't wear it. In winter, I sprayed it on myself and was pleasantly surprised. I got a beautiful gourmand, alla vanilla cupcake!!! In fact, that was the exclamation of my beloved, what smells so vanilla cupcakes here and since then it has burned in me. Vanilla cupcakes holding a rose tightly entwined in the arm :D
I'm wearing it today and could take a shower in it. I even imagine, Dahaab Saafiist once again more nachgereift and me show hints of tangy mango or similar.
A couple of days ago I have tested intense Café and thought so with me, I know it, I have it with me standing! They were all right! Dahab Saafi is a damn good dupe to intense Café. However, I find this one a lot nicer, cozier, cuddlier. This one is the cuddlier identical twin with more rose. I like Intense Café, but not so much that I would have to get the expensive original. This darling is a super alternative in my opinion. A thick recommendation to all who love gourmand fragrances or are looking for an Intense Café Cheapy

Oriental raspberry
I discovered this fragrance at Notino at some point and it just wouldn't let me go. According to some research, it should be a better version of tresor midnight rose, only fresher. From my environment I got the feedback, he had a beautiful raspberry like from the bush, which determines the whole fragrance. At the latest it had to come along at some point and was tested immediately. For me it is an oriental raspberry fragrance, reminds me conditionally of a cross between "because it's you by Armani" and a touch of midnight rose, but only partly, otherwise it is an independent fragrance. When freshly sprayed on, the raspberry is present from the start. It is not a sweet and sour raspberry from the bush, but one that comes from the candy department, but still seems very authentic and high quality. After 3 minutes, something heavy and slightly medicinal comes in. But it quickly dissipates and turns into something sweet, almost caramel-like. This raspberry-caramel cloud accompanies you then easily 11-12 hours, at least I have the fragrance then at 23 clock still very clearly perceived on me, especially when I was in motion. I have made me of it 4-6 spritzer drangemacht and that was enough loosely.
Who loves raspberry fragrances and is looking for a raspberry fragrance with an oriental touch, should perhaps take him under the magnifying glass.
