Scentonym Analysis
Our objective metric for performance per dollar.
Bottom Line
Rose Petal Drops is a decent option if you're curious about the Delina DNA but don't want to drop the big bucks. It’s a good daily driver. It scratches the itch. If you're okay with a slightly less refined, shorter-lasting version, save your money and go for this. If you demand the absolute best and crave that exquisite rose experience, then Delina is your girl.
The Scent Profile
Okay, Rose Petal Drops. This is Zara's crack at the popular Delina. The opening is definitely in the same ballpark: that tart rhubarb and sweet lychee combo tries its best to mimic the original. It's maybe 88% there. The difference? Zara's version has a slightly sharper, more synthetic edge in the first few minutes. The rose in the heart is present, but not as lush or complex as Delina's. Vanilla peeks through, making it sweeter, a bit less sophisticated. The drydown is a musky, slightly woody affair. It's pleasant, though lacks the depth of the OG.
The Performance Stats
Don't expect beast mode. This is a Zara fragrance. On my skin, I get about 4-5 hours of moderate projection. After that, it becomes a skin scent for another 2 hours. It's office-friendly; you won't gas anyone out. Perfect for a quick trip to the grocery or a casual lunch.
