Z12

Z12 is Zakat's nod to Parfums de Marly Delina, opening with the litchi and rhubarb fruit lift that gives the original its modern, slightly tart character. Bergamot and a quiet nutmeg add aromatic shape to the first ten minutes before the fruit pulls back to make room for the floral heart. The middle is where the Delina DNA reads loudest: a generous Turkish rose paired with peony, threaded with a soft musk that keeps the bouquet from going sugar-heavy. Vanilla is present in the heart rather than the base, lending a custardy warmth to the rose without tipping into gourmand. The dry-down runs on cashmeran and vetiver with a touch of cedar and incense, a clean woody-musky close that lets the rose stay the centrepiece. A community reviewer on a TikTok dupe channel rates the alignment to Delina at 10/10 with strong duration and projection. Performance is generally reported as more confident here than the Z7/Z9 pairing - Z12 reads as one of the better-performing entries in the Z line. In the dupe-house landscape it sits alongside other Delina dupes from Lattafa Yara and Maison Alhambra, with Z12 reading slightly more rose-forward and less candy-sweet than the Lattafa take. The Turkish rose carries the wear all the way to the dry-down rather than ceding ground to cashmeran or vanilla, which is what some Delina fans look for in a dupe.
