The original: Parfums de Marly Delina Exclusif Parfum
The evening version of Delina, and by most accounts the better one. Parfums de Marly describe the difference themselves: the same Damascena rose, more intense, with ambery facets. Pear and lychee open it, incense and vetiver darken the heart, vanilla and moss carry it out. Where Delina is bright and daytime, Exclusif is dusk. Reviewers who find the original screechy tend to prefer this one.

How we score. Every percentage comes from cross-referencing note pyramids against Fragrantica and brand-official sources, then weighting what people who own both fragrances actually report. We don't publish anything below 85%, and we say when something barely clears.
#1Khadlaj Rose Couture EDP
Shares with the original: Lychee, Pear, Turkish Rose, Incense, Vanilla
The best-evidenced alternative on this page, and unusually the evidence is comparative rather than isolated. One Fragrantica reviewer had worked through five Delina dupes before writing about this one and ranked it first, above Club de Nuit White Imperiale and Delilah. A second, who had tried both Armaf Imperiale and Ameerat Al Arab Prive Rose, found the first greener and spicier and the second heavy on strawberry, and called this one heavenly. A Parfumo owner says plainly that they like it much better than Club de Nuit, which they find piercing and synthetic by comparison. Several of these people own or owned the Exclusif itself. The gap is named by the same reviewers rather than invented by us: it is fruitier and lighter than the original, softer and less powdery, and it trades the Marly's vetiver and mossy Evernyl for oud, amber and cedar — so the drydown runs warmer and less green. Five shared notes, but they are the five that matter here: the pear and incense are what separate the Exclusif from base Delina, and both are present.

#2Dua Fragrances Miss Congeniality
Shares with the original: Lychee, Pear, Incense, Turkish Rose, Vanilla
Dua names Delina Exclusif as the target on its own product page and publishes the pyramid: bergamot, lychee, pear, incense, oud, Turkish rose, amber, vanilla and sandalwood. The pear and the incense are the tell — both belong to the Exclusif rather than to base Delina, which is what separates the two fragrances. A note on our own record while we are here: this entry previously sat on our base Delina page carrying base Delina's exact note list, which was wrong on both counts. It has been corrected against what Dua actually publishes and moved to the right page. Two things keep it below 90. It adds oud and sandalwood the Marly does not have, which pushes the drydown warmer and heavier than the original's clean musk-and-moss finish. And nobody has published a side-by-side, so this rests on the brand's own claim and note reconstruction rather than owner testimony. Dua also asks for three to four weeks of maceration, and this one is frequently sold out — the brand restocks in batches.

#3Arabiyat Prestige Safa EDP
Shares with the original: Lychee, Turkish Rose, Vanilla
A Fragrantica reviewer puts it plainly — a high quality, classy dupe of Delina Exclusif that they can barely tell apart from the original — and several others say it is Armaf Club de Nuit White Imperiale repackaged, which is itself built on Exclusif. This fragrance spent time on our base Delina page by mistake; every piece of evidence for it names the Exclusif, so this is where it belongs. Read the gap before buying, because it is wide on paper: only three notes are shared — lychee, rose and vanilla. Safa brings hazelnut, cypriol and a gourmand accord the Marly does not have, and drops the pear, grapefruit, incense and Evernyl that give Exclusif its dusk-and-woods character. That is why it sits at 88 rather than higher: the people who own both are convincing, but the structures are not the same.

#4Armaf Club de Nuit White Imperiale
Shares with the original: Lychee, Turkish Rose, Vanilla, Musk, Incense
This one is placed on what owners say rather than on what the pyramid says, and the two disagree, so here is both. A Fragrantica reviewer who had already worked through Prive Rose, Delilah and Roses Nusuk writes that this is the one — nearly identical to Delina Exclusif, with longevity that survived a shower. Better still, an owner who has the Exclusif itself says outright that they prefer this to it, and names the difference: more incense, an Eastern vibe. That is the one Exclusif note in its pyramid doing the work. A Fragrantica Club member independently says it seems to be more the Exclusif than the original. Our method puts owner reports above note overlap, so it sits here. The tension: its published notes are mostly base Delina's. Nutmeg, peony, cashmeran and cedarwood all belong to the original rather than the Exclusif, and only the incense points this way. Against base Delina it shares eight notes; against the Exclusif, five. Two more things worth knowing. Several owners find it loud to the point of being antisocial — one asks people not to over-spray it in enclosed spaces — and one reviewer who likes Maison Alhambra finds this and other Armaf releases smell synthetic by comparison. A note on the name: retailers routinely list this as simply ‘Club de Nuit Imperiale for Women’, dropping the White. It is the same fragrance.
