Maison Alhambra Athena for Women Eau De Parfum Spray, 3.4 Ounce

Hmmmm, where do I begin. First of all, shout out to Amazon for presenting this product while I was browsing another scent. When I saw the name, I immediately became curious and intrigued. She is SOOOOO BEAUTIFUL! She is so SOFT. She is SO CLASSY. The scent is luxurious and very feminine. As she settles on the skin she smells better and better. She has this glowy warmth to her with some sort of citrus note and vanilla underbelly. It’s all so pleasing to the senses. It isn’t at all harsh or screeching, just feminine and soft while making a beautiful statement. The bottle is beautiful as well and compliments the name. She projects warmly, in a nice scent bubble around you. Longevity for me would be about 3-4 hours, then a close hugging skin scent. Lastly, I would say she is excellent value. Large sized bottle, with a very affordable price point. My overall rating: 10/10, I recommend her. A safe blind buy. A was in love at first spray. 💕

This was a blind buy and I’m so pleasantly surprised!! It’s been hit or miss lately with these blind buys, but my goodness, Athena is absolutely gorgeous!! It’s nothing complex, but very classy at the same time!! It’s like a floral , vanilla scent but in a grown up way, not the sickening sweet scent that every other perfume of this category seems to be lately. It kind of reminds me of a sophisticated version of Amber Romance by VS. I will definitely buy again and I would say it’s a safe blind buy!

Never smelled Delina by Parfums de Marly, but this is a very nice rose fragrance at a great price. Longevity is very good. Rose is the main scent so if you aren’t into rose - this isn’t going to work. I think there's a bit of citrus with this, too, making it more interesting than just straight rose!

Srsly, this scent is very elegant, smells and lasts like a perfume that should cost a couple hundred dollars a bottle! And it doesn't take a lot for the scent to last all day and then some! ( at least on My skin, ymmv) Or if you prefer to spray your clothes or hair, I can attest to it lasting 4 Days! FOR ME: Zero headaches, Projection is like a 15ft bubble of wonderful scent. I originally thought I wouldn't like Delilah--- all I could smell was a fresh cut spruce tree, to me!?! I put it away, went through 3 torturous wks of a head and chest cold, tried it again and Loved it! I get so many compliments on it and depending on who is explaining what notes they smell, it's everything from vanilla to citrus to slight rose to "something green"... No matter what notes they pick up, everyone wants to know what it is and where I got it--no I one asks how much I paid, they don't even care, they just want some! When I tell them the price they can't believe it! This huge, Gorgeous bottle should last for ages but I'm ordering another bottle of Delilah AND another bottle of Yara (pink bottle-- which is so wonderfully Vanilla, to me!) ASAP-- the pricing is even lower now, near Christmas! I can't wait to try other Lattafa fragrances! EDITED FOR SPELLING ERRORS--Still loving Delilah AND Yara (pink) ;)

Blind buys are super tricky and I'm usually very unsuccessful when it comes to that game. HOWEVER, this one right here is gooood. I know you all probably read that with most reviews and then youre let down, same here same here but yall, Athena smells soo delicious. Im a fan of gourmand scents but it has to be done right. I totally understand the Burberry goddess comparisons, theyre sisters, Athena is the more lowkey, naturally cool sister of the two though. BG has a loud hear me roar peppery opening that hits you in the throat and then the dry down is super sexy. Athena's opening is a creamy vanilla with a soft lavendery dry down if that makes sense. The rose and musk description scared me because I hate rosey perfumes with a passion, and musky perfumes are usually super heavy with a very intrusive headache inducing sillage lol. None of that applies to this one. The bottle has weight to it, the plastic marble coated cap adds sophication. Its a soft scent. If youre a true vanilla girlie, this is one to add to the rotation. Good bang for the buck. EDIT...Ah, this puppy doesnt last very long. Honestly, I think I got a good 4-5 hours out of this one. I can still smell it on my wrist but I would have to put it directly under my nose and inhale hard. The sillage is pretty weak, this is an up close and personal kind of perfume. Layer it for sure.

One of my favorite fragrances. Very feminine and powdery. Very long lasting as well. Beautiful scent. The bottle is also super cute and girly

AMAZING DUPE for PDM Delina! Starts out a little strong, but dries down to a lovely, long-lasting scent.

In the vast world of perfumery, finding a scent that closely mirrors a beloved fragrance while offering its unique allure can be both exciting and challenging. For those who adore the renowned Delina perfume but seek something slightly different, there exists a remarkable close dupe that captures the essence of Delina's charm while introducing its distinct characteristics. This close dupe is a captivating floral fruity fragrance designed specifically for women. It opens with a delightful burst of fresh and juicy top notes, which gracefully blend into a heart of lush florals. The fragrance is anchored by a base that provides a soft yet memorable finish. It is crafted to evoke the same sense of elegance and femininity that Delina is known for, making it a lovely addition to any perfume collection. The heart of this perfume is where its floral essence truly shines. At the center is the exquisite Turkish rose, a note that is delicate yet distinctive. Unlike some rose-dominated fragrances, this one strikes a perfect balance, ensuring that the rose is present but not overpowering. While this perfume is a close dupe of Delina, there are notable differences that set it apart. Delina is renowned for its remarkable longevity and perfectly balanced composition. In contrast, this dupe, although impressive, does not quite achieve the same level of roundness and balance. Additionally, its staying power, while respectable, falls short of the long-lasting promise that many reviews claim. One of the standout features of this fragrance is its versatility in layering. It can be paired with other scents to enhance and elevate the overall olfactory experience. Another significant advantage of this perfume is its affordability. It offers a luxurious fragrance experience at a fraction of the cost of Delina, making it accessible to a wider audience. This value for money is a key factor that contributes to its popularity and appeal among perfume enthusiasts. For those who admire Delina but seek a more budget-friendly alternative, this perfume is a worthy contender. It captures the spirit of its inspiration while standing on its own merits. Whether worn alone or layered with other fragrances, it promises to deliver a pleasant and memorable olfactory experience that will leave a lasting impression.
