DaliA

That's a very interesting fragrance!

Peony and green tea fragrances are ones from those spring-time cravings, along with desire for all sort of tree-blossom-fragrances. I decided not to go by common tea road towards Arden house, but to turn on Dali Road. Very glad I did, it has good woody-musky base, which means it lasts well. Also what I like about Dali, that even in everyday simple fragrances they manage to bring some personality and charm together with some uncommon notes, like syringa, pomegranate or kumquat. DaliA is sour-sweet indeed, not watery green-tea, not fruity-tea, it is bright, but strong, heavy-spiced tea, bottle is great, juice fits to the song "Bring Me Sunshine" by Willie Nelson, recommend.

In the beginning this fragrance opens kumquat and cedar and this notes are the leading. At start it even reminds Light Blue because of citrus and cedar. Then I also feel the peony note. It reminds a little bit Bright Crystal, but less floral. On me I almost don't feel fruity note. Only pomegranate maybe. Also I can't say that green tea note is powerful here. I wanted to find more peony fragrance. But I'm not disappointed. It's nice and perfect for summer.

Freshly shampooed hair. The scent when an employee walks into the office with still damp hair because they were running late, and you smell a generic but very pleasant clean shampoo/conditioner scent. It’s a little more floral than fruity to me, and perfectly pleasant. It’s a little dewy without being aquatic. It’s nice! I rediscovered it this week in my collection and had forgotten about it. Similar feel as something like Chance Eau Tendre.

This has surprised me - it's pretty and airy, very unlike what I usually gravitate toward and I don't have many late spring/summer scents. Since the Dali's are so inexpensive, I thought I'd blind buy a few of the miniatures and this was one of them. Lasts moderately (about 4 hours) and the sillage is okay. This smells green to me, probably from the tea and I love the addition of rosewood in the base. Nice and inoffensive.
