Quick answer: Maison Alhambra’s two Delilah perfumes are widely described as inspired by two Parfums de Marly florals. Delilah is compared to Delina, a fruity rose. Delilah Blanc is compared to Valaya, a clean white floral. The notes below show where each pair overlaps.
Delilah vs Delina
| Delina (Parfums de Marly) | Delilah (Maison Alhambra) | |
|---|---|---|
| Top | Rhubarb, lychee, bergamot, nutmeg | Bergamot, lychee, rhubarb |
| Heart | Turkish rose, lily of the valley, peony, vanilla | Peony, wild lily, rose |
| Base | Cashmeran, musk, vetiver | Vanilla, white musk, cashmere |
| Style | Woody floral | Fruity rose floral |
The shared lychee, rhubarb, rose and peony are the heart of both scents. Delina lists nutmeg and vetiver, which Delilah does not, so Delina may feel slightly spicier and woodier, while Delilah’s vanilla sits in the base.
Delilah Blanc vs Valaya
| Valaya (Parfums de Marly) | Delilah Blanc (Maison Alhambra) | |
|---|---|---|
| Top | Bergamot, mandarin, white peach | Pear |
| Heart | Orange flower, nympheal, vetiver | Orange blossom, petalia |
| Base | Akigalawood, Ambrofix, musk | White musk, vetiver, ambroxan |
| Style | Fresh, fruity white floral | Clean white floral |
Both pair orange blossom with vetiver, musk and an ambery woody base. Valaya opens with citrus and white peach; Delilah Blanc lists pear instead.
