Fatima Pink Extrait

First Impressions & Dry Down

Fatima Pink Extrait tries *really* hard to be Delina. The opening blast of rhubarb and lychee is there, a little tart, a little sweet, but with a slightly sharper, almost synthetic edge. It's missing some of the nuance of the original. The rose and peony heart is pretty, a bit powdery, and the vanilla peeks through, adding a touch of creaminess. The dry down leans heavily into musk and cashmeran. This is where it differs most from Delina; less incense, more clean laundry. I’d say it gets to about 85% of Delina's DNA.

Conclusion

Okay, so Fatima Pink Extrait isn't *exactly* Delina. But ? It's a great everyday alternative. If you love the Delina vibe but can't justify the cost, this is a solid option. It's perfect for the office, running errands, or a casual brunch. If you crave that extra 85% of refinement and complexity, maybe. But for a daily driver that smells darn good, Zimaya is a winner.

The Performance Stats

Projection is moderate for the first hour, creating a nice scent bubble. After that, it settles closer to the skin. Longevity? I get a solid 6 hours on my skin. Not bad at all! On clothing, it lasts a bit longer, maybe 8 hours. Don't expect beast mode, but it's respectable .
