Inspiration: Parfums de Marly - Delina Exclusif
Couldn't load pickup availability
Rooh by Al A'Raaf has been compared with Delina Exclusif by Parfums de Marly, but its almond, coffee, tuberose, cacao and praline structure takes the scent in a much darker gourmand-floral direction. Rose remains part of the heart, yet the dominant impression is creamy white flowers over a dense edible base. Sample it for that coffee-almond-and-tuberose contrast rather than expecting a straightforward Delina-style rose fragrance.
Top: almond, coffee, lemon, bergamot
Middle: jasmine sambac, tuberose, orris root, bulgarian rose, orange blossom
Base: vanilla, praline, cashmere wood, musk, tonka bean, cacao, cinnamon, amber, sandalwood, pachouli, cedarwood
Almond and coffee arrive first with lemon and bergamot cutting through the darkness. Tuberose, jasmine, orange blossom, orris and rose bloom over a thick base of vanilla, praline, cacao, cinnamon, tonka, amber and woods, creating a sweet floral scent with a deep roasted edge.
Rooh feels dense from the opening, with coffee, almond and white florals creating a rich cloud before its long gourmand base takes over. Vanilla, praline, cacao, amber and woods give it the structure of a substantial cool-weather scent that lingers close after the florals soften.
Rooh needs cooler air to carry its coffee, tuberose, cacao and praline comfortably, so fall through early spring is the best window. Evening celebrations, date nights, formal dinners and dressed-up social events suit its rich style; the composition leans feminine through the white florals and sweet base.
