If Delina is a perfume you enjoy, use that experience to ask what you want from your next scent. It might be a floral impression, fruit, a softer texture or a warmer mood. A familiar fragrance can guide exploration without becoming a formula that every new bottle must follow.
Name the aspect you enjoy
Describe your own experience rather than searching only for an identical note list. Do you want to remain with flowers, explore a gourmand or change the mood entirely? This gives you a clearer starting point than a promise of a perfect replacement.
Kyoto Cherry: a different direction
Kyoto Cherry is centred on cherry and almond, with rose within its floral heart and a gourmand base impression. It is not presented as a rose-and-lychee equivalent or a Delina dupe. Consider it if you actively want to explore cherry and almond.
What to expect from the INKÛNU composition
The opening combines almond, saffron and morello cherry. Cedar, jasmine and rose form the heart; musk, ambergris and toffee describe the base. These notes describe the scent, not a complete ingredient list or a promise of natural material content.
Choose by your experience
Kyoto Cherry is an eau de parfum at 25% perfume oil. Wear time and projection vary with the composition, application, skin and conditions. A concentration percentage alone cannot guarantee a number of hours. Try it on its own terms and notice whether you enjoy its developing character, rather than judging it solely against another bottle.
Two other directions in the house
Seville Secret explores powdery iris and almond, while Venise Velours brings vanilla, incense and leather. There is no need to force a match if these are not the profiles you want.
Discover before choosing
The Travel Set contains Kyoto Cherry, Seville Secret and Venise Velours in three 15 ml bottles. Wear them on separate days before choosing a 100 ml bottle.
About INKÛNU
INKÛNU was founded by two French founders living in the United Arab Emirates. The house brings French perfume expertise together with Middle Eastern inspiration, through travel, scent, memory and emotion.
Frequently asked questions
Is Kyoto Cherry a Delina dupe?
No. It is an independent cherry and almond gourmand, with a floral heart.
What if I specifically want a rose-and-lychee fragrance?
Choose a composition explicitly described that way. We do not present Kyoto Cherry as a substitute for that profile.
