Romantic

Notes & Nuances

Romantic opens bright. The rhubarb and lychee are immediately noticeable, but not as refined as Delina. There's a slightly sharper, more synthetic edge here. Still, it’s a pleasant, fruity-floral start. The heart follows quickly, rose and peony dominating. It's about 87% similar to Delina's core DNA. However, Romantic lacks the original's velvety smoothness. The dry down is where the biggest difference appears. The musk is more prominent and slightly harsher, less cashmere-soft than the original. Vanilla is present, but not as creamy.

How Long Does it Last?

Longevity is decent . Expect around 5-6 hours on skin, a bit longer on clothes. Projection is moderate for the first hour, creating a nice scent bubble. After that, it settles closer to the skin. It's definitely not a powerhouse.

To Buy or Not to Buy?

Romantic by Orientica is a solid budget alternative to Delina. It captures the essence of the original . It's ideal for those who enjoy the Delina DNA but can't justify the hefty price tag. If you're after absolute refinement, stick with the original. However, for daily wear, or if you're fragrance-curious, Romantic is a great entry point. For the budget-conscious, Romantic offers a very acceptable compromise.
