If You Want to Smell Like Sweet, Jammy Rose I’d Buy This Fragrance Set
Ok, so I think we established the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale sucked but there are a few gems around. If you’re a fan of luxury scents I would recommend splurging on the Delina Eau de Parfum Set.
This set isn’t cheap at $347 but you’re getting well over $500 worth of fragrance with it. It contains a full-size Delina Ea de Parfume at 2.5 oz and a travel-size one at 1 oz. If I didn’t already own a bottle I’d def buy this!
I’m convinced this is what I thought Turkish Delight tasted and smelled like as a child reading the Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. When Edmund first followed Lucy into the wardrobe he became lost and confused and ran into the White Witch. The White Witch offers him anything he wants to eat in exchange for him bringing his siblings to her once they get to Narnia. He asks for Turkish Delight. It’s a treat that symbolizes Edmund’s selfishness in some ways and his ability to want something so badly he was willing to hurt others to get it. It should be a treat one wishes to avoid because of this but I admit as a child I was absolutely curious about what it tasted like. I’m lucky enough that I’m a native New Yorker and actually finding such a treat wasn’t terribly hard. After reading the book I remember asking my mother for it and she instantly knew where to find it.
When I first smelled Delina it instantly made me think of Turkish Delight. It’s a sweet, jammy rose with a sultry hint of woods in the background. That sweet jammy rose makes me think of the delightful taste of Turkish Delight.
It’s a heady scent that wears and wears and wears and wears….it just lingers in the air around you, on your bedroom sheets, and on your clothes. It’s quite lovely! Whenever I wear it the top part of the seatbelt in my car smells like a sweet candied rose weeks later.
It’s not cheap but this set is a gorgeous one to take home if you’re a fan of this scent or even if you’ve never tried it before and love rose scents.
It’s part of Nordy’s Anniversary Sale and is available now with free shipping and free returns.
Enjoy!
