Hipster Oud

Notes & Nuances

Zara's Hipster Oud isn't oud-y at all; it's a decent Delina impression. The opening bursts with that signature tart rhubarb and lychee, but with a bergamot kick. It's brighter, a little sharper than Delina. The rose and peony heart emerges quickly. This is where the differences become apparent. The rose here is less plush, more synthetic. Vanilla softens the edges, but it's not as creamy as Parfums de Marly's masterpiece. The dry down is a clean musk with a whisper of cashmeran. Vetiver is barely detectable. It's roughly 88% Delina; you get the vibe, but not the full luxurious experience.

The Performance Stats

Longevity is surprisingly good . Expect 5-6 hours on skin, longer on clothes. Projection is moderate for the first hour, then settles closer to the skin. It's office-friendly, not a room filler.

Conclusion

Hipster Oud is a solid option for those curious about Delina but hesitant to drop serious cash. It captures the essence of the fragrance . The synthetic edges are noticeable, but forgivable. But for a daily dose of rosy, fruity brightness? This will do nicely. This is a "running errands, grabbing coffee" vibe. Someone who wants to smell pretty and approachable without making a huge statement.
