So, you want an inexpensive Parfums de Marly Oriana recommendation? I got you. Parfums de Marly Oriana Eau de Parfum is a gorgeous orange blossom gourmand that resembles one of my favorite scents, Kilian Love, Don’t Be Shy. This is sweet, and marshmallow-y, with just the right touches of orange blossom. I orinally purchased a bottle blindly when it was described as being similiar to Love, Don’t Be Shy and I’m obsessed with that scent and I was all about trying a new spin on it. Parfum de Marly’s delightful jammy Delina took a while to grow on me but after it did I simply couldn’t get enough. Combine that with the fact everyone in the fragrance world was comparing Oriana to Love, Don’t Be Shy and I raced to grab a bottle.

Sadly, a bottle is $355. But I snagged it during a 15% Off sale at Neiman Marcus I believe but hey, that 15% wasn’t that big a discount. It’s still a hefty price to pay for a bottle of perfume. Especially one I never smelled before and I was blindly purchasing based on hype I was hearing across fragrance forums. I didn’t regret the purchase. It did indeed smell a lot like Kilian but dare I say, I still loved Kilian’s version more. But I didn’t regret the purchase. It’s still a very feminine, princess-y gourmand that’s sweet and playful. I loved it. Do I wish it was cheaper? Hells, yes! Do I wish I knew about a similiar scent like this sooner? Double hells, yes!
I might have not saved a ton of money on my purchase but I’m here to save you some with this $34 fragrance.
