Daimiris

It takes me almost one year to decide whether I love Daimiris or I hate it. This creation for sure is not easy to wear, however it is not devil in any way (nothing killing by overpowering). Now I’m sure this is my fragrance which I’ll wear every night this fall. First impression I had when sprayed Daimiris on my forearm was sweet strongly animal leather. Than rum accord with ambergris developed together which are surrounded by some sweet notes. Nevertheless none of listed are the stars in Daimiris. The best recognizable and extremely well balanced is iris. From the beginning to the end buttery iris is playing first role. However iris is nothing I’m in love with, here this flower/root is so wonderful that I’m almost changing my mind ... for sure I’m going to test more iris based fragrances. In my opinion Daimiris has to faces – first this is hippie live, surrounded by warm sweet smell when everything around can make you smile and happy – the smell of real freedom; the second somewhat opposite to the first one, the smell of serious noble and very rich people wasting their time and money to show everyone else that they are rich and nothing else – wearing expensive fur coats, smoking cigars and drinking most expensive drinks, spending their lazy time in kitschy rooms with leather furniture. I’m choosing first interpretation of Daimiris to be happy and feel cozy. And what is your interpretation of this wonderful and deep fragrance?

I have been wearing it a lot this winter, and it's such a treasure! I have gotten used to it somehow and now it does not seem that strong to me as I thought it to be when I first smelled it. It's rather a transparent oriental, not a very dense one. I'm not afraid to overspray it although it's spicy and boozy. And I'm not sure that it's a bad thing. Sometimes perfumes can be too much, and this isn't. Another new feature of DAIMIRIS that I noticed is "Wow! Chocolate!", after the initial rum blast it really smells like milk chocolate, spiced up by saffron. I don't feel the iris as a separate note, it only gives the texture to the perfume: velvety, powdery, milky chocolate. It also reminds me a little of DAIM BLOND, but DAIMIRIS isn't fruity at all. If you, like me, love DB but would prefer it a bit less plummy-peachy, and aren't afraid of saffron, give this a try. The sillage is very good.

I'm afraid this perfume is as addictive as booze is for some people: I have a sample and I just can't get enough of it, the minute I put it on my wrist I was ready to jump into some car or bus or whatever and rush to the perfume shop where it sells for a more than reasonable price (Laboratorio Olfattivo is the definition of a great quality/price ratio). It is that beautiful. It smells like the most expensive cognac, softly spicy saffron, amber and vanilla with powdery iris and, again, the most expensive suede. The drydown is pure chocolate. Amazing, breathtaking! Certainly unisex. It smells like luxury. I'm going to have it and will douse myself in autumn and winter. It is also very strong and longlasting... What a perfume!

raffinatissimo e molto originale sulle prime note, intossicanti e assai alcoliche, di rum, cuoio, iris e un tocco di zafferano. questa prima fase olfattiva perdura moderatamente per poi virare su un fondo confortevole e già sniffato, cionondimeno gradevole, di ambra e violetta, sostenuto da sentori di terra (radici di iris?), che ricorda Ambra di Etro. nel contempo l'impressione di zafferano si fa più decisa. perfetto per l'inverno, elegante, resinoso, completamente unisex. eccellente.

Gorgeous, smooth, perfection It reminds me if they made a version of Dior Homme intense especially for women Lovely ♥️ Edit a few years later: I've reassessed this one and it's actually not as sweet as Dior Homme and is drier dustier, a gorgeous fragrance but I thought I better mention it's not actually girly, it's quite mature in nature. Very niche.

The opening is frankly disgusting to me. The mix of rhum and leather is not something I enjoy. I couldn't wear it until the dry down. I loved it on paper but on my skin it is just a huge no.

Laboratorio Olfattivo DAIMIRIS opens very boozily, so the rum note is no joke. From there, I am reminded of Balmain AMBRE GRIS because that edgy ambergris accord (I believe it is the synthetic component which is used to mimic the salty quality of natural ambergris...) is very much on display. Not labdanum amber, no. The texture (not the scent...) is closer to a titanium metal mesh than to a viscous golden gleam. In neither AMBRE GRIS nor DAIMIRIS is the rich, thick, quality of labdanum-vanillin-benzoin amber perceptible. This may be a source of disappointment to some, if they were looking for amber as opposed to ambergris (same story for AMBRE GRIS, which many reviewers have criticized for lacking amber, apparently unaware that synthetic ambergris does not smell like labdanum amber at all...). But it is what it is, and it's not what it's not. Anyway, the most distinctive part of DAIMIRIS to my nose is definitely the saffron note, which crescendos as the perfume develops and abides in the drydown. This is a unique perfume well-worth testing by anyone who likes saffron. I like the rum opening, too, despite the fact that I do not like rum. I think that the booziness is not specifically rum-like, perhaps because it is moderated somewhat by the "daim" candy note? Don't know. I only know that this perfume smells good at every stage and is absolutely unisex.

Laboratorio Olfattivo built up my expectations with the excellent Alambar. Daimiris on paper has got everything I love- iris is one of my favourite flowers, I enjoy most amber scents, there is also rum and cardamon and sweetness, what can go wrong? I suppose all depends what you are looking for- I wanted something a bit stronger. Daimiris is a beautiful scent, with a strong iris note and suede quality, it is soft, musky, and as it develops it has a prominent amber note. The sweet notes make it quite a delicious. 15 minutes in, the rum kicks in. I was at first about to say you do not smell it, but oh yes you can. It is probably the first scent I can smell an alcohol note so prominent. If Captain Hook had female crew members, that's how they would smell like. And then the amber overtakes again, the scent takes you on a rollercoaster amber-rum ride. Unfortunately, the iris fades along the way. It is nice, but there are many amazing amber scents there, and this doe not offer as much as them. It keeps very close to the skin though, and I would love for it to project a bit more.

No, this does NOT smell like Iris Ganache. I wanted this to smell like Iris Ganache so bad so i can buy this since Iris Ganache has been discontinued. The opening is a harsh leather and iris combo that lingers around too long than it should. The dry down at about 4-5 hours begins to turn sweet, but never fully becomes what Iris Ganache did. This thing smells like Parfum d' Empire's Cuir Ottoman, but a lighter and sweeter version. As with other Laborottio Olfactivo fragrances I have tested, performance is horrible. No projection, sillage or longevity. Longevity:C Projection:B- Uniqueness:B Versatility:B OVERALL: B-

The dry down is magical. Beautiful chocolaty boozy with just the right amount of sweetness. The amber could have been amped up a bit but then again that but that would take away the earthy/leather aspects of the saffron. This is a very refined gourmand scent done in such a specific manner that I knew I smelled this "type" of gourmand before. Mr. Guillaume is the nose behind Coze, Aomassai and BDC. Chances are if you like those then this is worth a sniff.

Daimiris is a wondeful mix of saffran, iris and musk.For me it is also a precious reminder of Roma,Ostia antica. Last may, I bought it just before my visit to the antique ruins of Ostia antica... Saffran was largely use by romans at that time. I wear it a lot today because I am not sure I will return in Roma this may due to the terrible covid 19 crises.

Overly sweet rum, with nutty iris. Amber, iris, rum, cloying nutty vanilla, & musk. The creator wrote "the Nose has created a fragrance that captures the womanly caress of velvet and the gaze of a man as he contemplates a woman’s body"... really! does this smell like that! no, it's just overly cloying nuts with vlocying vanilla.

That opening 20 - 30 minute period is tough... A leathery-ink that takes too long to move on... After the ink clears, there is a boozy-amber scent, nothing too spectacular, but quite pleasant... If you can make it through that first stage, you should be fine. Not for me, I feel...
