Delma from the fragrance house Widian's Velvet collection is named after the island of the same name, located off the coast of Abu Dhabi and known for its pearl fishing, its legends and hidden treasures. This mythical space has inspired the perfumer, Philippine Courtière, to create a fascinating unisex scent that is both powdery floral and filled with sultry sweetness.
Delma opens with fruity top notes consisting of mandarin, peach and bergamot. The heart notes are the floral core of the perfume and consist of jasmine, geranium, geranium and nutmeg. In the base lies a warm, creamy and rich sweet compote of patchouli, saffron, vanilla, leather and marshmallow.
Fantastic scent that reminds me of J'ai Ose by Guy Laroche, which I was very fond of in the 80s. However, Delma lacks aldehydes, which I think is an advantage. Well-composed scent that lasts long. More feminine than masculine. The packaging and bottle are very nice.
