Dali Parfum

I think this is an extraordinary scent. I have two mini bottles and will likely purchase a few more. I also have to bottles of the original PDT, and I plan on wearing a few drops of this, layered with a spray of the PDT for better projection and silage. I would never have considered purchasing them if it wasn't for the stellar reviews. Salvador Dali was weird and wonderful in so many ways, but could he possibly produce a great fragrance? Yes, yes he could! The incense is intoxicating,and the spices and sandalwood add to an aura of seduction. This baby has depth in either form, but the parfum seems bottomless!! I have been on an incense kick lately - all different types - and though I purchased these prior to my latest fragrance adventure, it hits the spot and has much of what I've been looking for. I don't really detect the florals in this, as my skin amplifies the heavier notes, but that's just another good excuse to wear this - I need to analyze it more! Works for me!

This is what I thought Chanel Coco would smell with my chemistry. Why did I put it off so long to purchase a vintage bottle of Salvador Dali? indeed I smell incense followed by cloves. I don't smell a clear rose because I keep smelling carnation-the cloves. Finally I delight in the note I've waited for-oakmoss. I'm sorry to say, it is elusive, but it lingers until it fades 24 hours later!!! THIS is what I've been looking for since we said goodbye to Coty Chypre, 80's formulation. Totally different, I know, but there it is. There have been many happy discoveries since I've joined Fragrantica: Maroc, Aromatics Elixir, Rabanne La Nuit, Mitsouko, Shalimar, more, but I now have all I need, for now. Thank You Fragrantica and fellow Fragranticans for all your reviews and posts.

Very aromatic Chypre,very womanish and bright.Rose in this fragrant very same like in E.Coudray Nohiba,I own and love,not a fresh but some potpourri yellow kind of rose with hint of incence,flowery one,dry and not heavy att all.Dali could be taken like a bold oriental in the opening,but then it is calming down and morphs into lemony balsamic chypre with same dna like the big brother Salvador Dali perfume.What I like best about this fragrant that the dry down never become the kind of a man scent,like it usually turns with the other chypre scents on my skin.This one is not that dry like Nohiba,but they are sharing a lot of same character Love them both...

Vintage:If you are looking for a perfume that smells of only clove and incense, you found it. To me, this is what a spicy scent should smell like. I have a small vintage dabber and I wish I could find at least a vintage 1oz parfum. I have a tendency to dab this on before bed. It is such a warm heavenly aroma. This is the nighttime to the daytime Dali Parfum De Toilette. Current: There is a synthetic metallic smell to this for about a good 30 minutes when you first spray. This is VERY different to the vintage. Although this fades it is missing the sensual warmth of the original.

I love this resinous goat frankincense. The fragrance is like a coven of witches in an old church or a gathering of progressive intellectuals in the contemporary art exhibition hall in a former Gothic cathedral, which, by the way, is essentially the same thing. The perfume is so cozy, warming and abstracting from the animal-sexual component of a person that it is not specifically intended as a marker for any gender, age, social class. It rises above all this fluidity, and it can be worn anywhere and anytime.
