Rose 01
by Swiss Arabian
Rose 01 by Swiss Arabian presents itself as a lush, syrupy, and strongly projecting rose fragrance that bears a striking resemblance to Delina Parfums de Marly. It opens with a spirited burst of bergamot, litchi, and pink pepper, offering a fresh and zesty initial impression. The heart centers around a rich, velvety rose blended with peony and nutmeg, giving it a warm and polished quality, while the base features a subtle vanilla-musk-cashmeran blend that adds creaminess and depth. The fragrance is noted for its powerful sillage and exceptional longevity, with many describing it as lasting for days on clothing and remaining detectable throughout the day with just one or two sprays. Although similar to Delina, it is perceived by most as sharper and more potent, with some noting it lacks the nuanced development of the original and instead remains linear. It is especially praised as a high-performing, affordable alternative to Delina, with commenters describing it as an elegant, standalone rose that feels luxurious and long-lasting without coming across as synthetic.
Pros
- +Extremely strong and long-lasting projection, with scent lingering on skin and clothing for days
- +Excellent value for money, offering a high-quality experience at a low price
- +Comes across as a perceptible but not tiresome rose with a fresh, slightly tart, sweet, and creamy quality, ideal for fans of juicy and radiant rose scents
Cons
- −Higher concentration of pink pepper and citrus makes it sharper than Delina, which may be off-putting to those sensitive to sharp notes
- −The scent is highly linear and changes little over time, lacking the evolving depth of authentic Delina
- −Some users report it can cause headaches or discomfort due to its intensity when over-sprayed
