The new fragrances connect royal heritage and luxurious, precious gems by creating two versions of fragrances: Royal Marina Diamond and Royal Marina Rubis.

I used to have marina Rouge royal years ago and I really liked it . BUT this one is a No . Makes me nauseous to the point I had to wash it off .

ImBored

I got this for my girlfriend as a Christmas present because I heard it was similar to a more expensive fragrance that we both love, but she refuses to buy because it's expensive. She loves this, and so do I. Unmatched quality for the price.

florenciachang95

Very warm but not overly sweet vanilla. Makes you feel pretty like a princess wearing it, the name says it all! It's suitable for both day and night wear, but I prefer wearing it during the day since I love heavier, woodier perfume at night. Last days on clothes, didn't last more than 6 hours on my skin.

I have JPG La Belle Le Parfum which somehow smells very similar to this, maybe it's the same jasmine tonka and vanilla blend between these two.

Beck Dickason

It's one of those perfect perfumes. It's hard to imagine someone would not like it. Price point is great. Packaging and bottle are divine. I do agree it's a "cooler weather" type of perfume, but works perfectly for day or night. Cozy yet elegant. Should always be present in your perfume collection.

heyitscaa

This is my favorite 'vanilla' perfume, the sweetness doesn't feel tacky and cheap at all. i wear it almost all the time and suitable for any weather or occasion. the longevity is moderate and the silage is pretty good, people do noticed when i enter the room. i got so many compliments and people frequently ask what perfume do i wear.. if you are someone that love sweet gourmand but still elegant, you must get this one.

raqketa

added miss ma’am to a cart on a whim. i’m on the hunt for my perrrrrfeect ambery-vanilla fragrance for upcoming cooler weather and i had heard a little about her. she’s a cheapie and i needed a minimum spend to get a discount and get free shipping.

enter: royal marina diamond princess.

wearing her for the first time today. baby is NOT performing like a whim. she has no clue she was the side chick to those other fragrances i bought, and she stepped on the scene like a MAIN. girly is serving ambery vanilla sweet floral swirls of goodness. she has been compared to LVEB but she’s more serious than that. she got a lil projection behind her, too!

mimircks

I see ROYAL MARINA DIAMOND being compared here to LVEB, but I don't own any from that line, so I can't agree nor disagree. This was a blind buy as I love amber fragrances but wanted something ...less hyped. The bottle is heavy & stunning and the juice is amber GRAPEFRUIT! IKR! I don't have that combo in another frag but I love it! Once the grapefruit dissipates, you're left with a warm,vanilla & iris musk. Now to order the intense!!

taisspadotin

Bom eu geralmente amo o cheiro de baunilha, mas nesse perfume acho que o que mais se destaca é sem dúvida o cheiro de "talco", ele é bom, suave mas marcante
Não gostei muito da saída dele, achei que lembre um pouco askov de maracujá e é um pouco enjoativo, mas depois de uns 10 min o cheiro melhora demais, fica bem mais encorpado.
Acho ele um perfume muito elegante, e gostoso de usar durante o dia.

smellgewd1

This is the perfume that starts my perfume collecting journey. Will forever be in my collection.

This smells 90% like LVEB. Stays in my clothes for 10hrs and skin for 6+ hrs. I can't differentiate if i wear them on each arms. The price is excellent for the quality, and compared to LVEB, i'd recommend this instead since they both smell so similar!

It's very elegant, the vanilla, jasmine and tonka beans blended beautifully. I live in south east asia, so it's pretty warm here but this works well on warmer or colder days. Date night, errands, anyhting. very versatile.

The downside is only the bottle is so heavy hahha. Magnetic cap and the bottle itself is so beautiful.

Agnesca

I'm testing this fragrance right now side by side with La Vie est Belle. The latter is way stronger but Royal Diamond has good sillage and longevity, too. In the first seconds they are almost indistinguishable for me (bith quite strong), then comes a phase where I find LVEB richer and deeper but the difference is still very little. At this phase my husband said that if RD is a day fragrance, LVEB is its night sister. After about an hour I find LVEB fruitier but also darker and RD a bit brighter and more powdery. RD doesn't smell cheaper so the difference is not one between the original and a dupe but more like between the original and a flanker. My daughter and my hsband prefer RD, my son prefers LVEB, I like them equally, but honestly, considering the difference in price I would recommend RD.

fanntonyoscar

This has much more jasmine than I had hoped it would. It has that jasmine quality that is migraine inducing in every perfume I smell it in. If it wasn’t for that, I’d be happy as a puppy wagging two tails. But... no.

NOOR Z S

Exactly like La Vie Est Belle EDP
Love it

Thanatos2116

A truly princess scent. It's sweet, it's powdery, and has a subtle jasmine scent to it, which I really like. I got this in a bundle, and the price wasn't expensive at all! I got a "Princess Set"- consisting of a full size (which later I gave to my mom), and a mini 30 mL one. The packaging is the exact same (except the mini one is smaller....), absolutely gorgeous! Wouldn't wear this to hit on men, but I'd wear this to impress my collagues and C-levels instead. Very elegant and lovely. A must buy! Suitable for younger girls as well :)

mellyv1973

It smells a lot like La Vie Est Belle to me; however, this is not as long lasting and doesn't project as much. It's a pretty, feminine fragrance that is good for all seasons. I don't think it's appropriate for work, but any other occasion is fine. If you have La Vie Est Belle (original edp), you do not need this one imho.

Marivictory

This is soft and floral and yummy. Better than La Vie Est Belle but I guess it depends on your body chemistry but this one is nice to have as well.

Got a mini and happy with it. If I finish it and find a good deal on a full bottle I'll definitely grab it even if I am leaning to find more niche perfumes.

Safe blind buy and highly recommended for those who enjoyed Poison Girl EDT as well. This is for a girl looking for a pleasing smell that lasts with a powerful vanilla evidently there.

karolinazit

OMG ! I bought a 100ml bottle and i completely had a crush on it !! IT's great composition of acai berries and luminous grapefruit; adds iris, tonka and sambac jasmine, resting on a base of vanilla, fruity musk and copaiba wood made me fall in love with this diamond perfume as every passionate, adult, active and adventurous women will !! You must give it a try ! It does not give a definition of being "fun" or "playful". This is "comforting elegance".

AbdelFikar

first time i try it, and lovvving it instantly , this is just a classy and luxury type of fragrance. and the bottle itself its really pretty. defineatly gonna repurchase it again.

imochy

I've been having this fragrance for almost a year, and honestly, I've never given this sweetie a chance.
Luckily, I was browsing around this site for something with vanilla and tonka bean, and apparently, this perfume appeared on the list. Embarrassing really, to have something that I don't even realize.

Anyway, I finally decided to give this girl a chance today. A full-performance. All-day-wear. And the result is..

UNBELIEVABLE!

Royal Marina Diamond has an exceptional lasting power that sticks on me for over 12 hours. It started fruit-ish and caramel-ish, just like CK One Shock for Her, but developed into something really different - although they both have distinctive vanilla scent.

While CK One Shock develops into something playful, Royal Marina Diamond develops into something cuddly.
The killer combo of vanilla and tonka bean creates a warm powdery veil when it finally dries down. Something I totally love to sniff around.

Sillage is medium, about an arm length. Surely won't leave you unnoticed. Yet, despite of the comforting nature of the scent, there's nothing really stands out from this fragrance. La Vie Est Belle, perhaps, but I totally refer the opening to CK One Shock for Her.

Royal Marina Diamond is a safe fragrance. Suitable for both day and evening wear; although may be more appropriate in more formal situation.

This fragrance does not give a definition of being "fun" or "playful". This is "comforting elegance".

From now on, I won't let this bottle go unnoticed for sure. Give it a try ;)

moreorlessa

Very similar to La Vie Est Belle, but better blended and less cloying. It's definitely not a light perfume, but it's smoother than LVEB.

susieqrj

Smells just like La Vie est Belle but lighter

AuraeliaBee

This may sound wierd given the notes, but I sampled this on paper and it smelled exactly like Lancome La Vie est Belle.

Nskyba

I love this perfume! It starts off with a bright lemon scent and quickly moves into a sweet, soft vanilla, light powder. It's my favorite for the moment, not sure if I will love it forever, because is has the potential to be too sweet, but for now, it's my go to perfume. It only has a longevity of a few hours on my skin, after 3 or 4 hours, need to reapply. I' m new to analyzing perfumes, before it was spray, sniff and buy. Now I am taking time to consider the notes that a perfume has, and I'm studying the fragrance groups, before I buy. I ordered a decant of vintage Shalimar, and am excited to see how it wears on my skin.
