Daliflor

This is one of my all time favourite perfumes. I first discovered the delicious shower gel which I used on a trip to Egypt. I didn't know what first appealed to me about this scent until I read the ingredients and then it all became clear to me. Initially this perfume smells very fresh but then a depth is revealed which has many layers. It is just so cooling yet sensual. It is an extremely unusual scent and I feel very unique when I wear it. I have never ever smelt anything remotely similar. It is summer and springtime all rolled into one and it is exotic. It might not suit the 'younger nose' who prefer trendy perfumes. I am 44 now and I have been wearing this since my late 30s. I also love the beautiful colours on the box. The bottle, well it is not my favourite, you can't exactly pop it in your handbag, but hey, that doesn't matter. If you are looking for something unusual then this is your fragrance.It lasts very well on my skin too, and that is always a bonus. I would say it lasts without hanging around in that irritating way that very strong perfumes do. PS every time I wear it I am reminded of my wonderful trips to Egypt :)

I bought this EDT because it is a predominantly violet scent, and I thought it would be nice to have violets in my collection. I think this scent has a fruity freshness to it initially, then changes to parma violets. There's a coolness to it which I think works for the summer season. I've worn it over the past week and a half, I like to put it on after exercising and on hot days. Emotionally, I'm not connecting with it. It's the lack of warmth. I sprayed on with Harajuku lovers Love today, and I find I enjoy it more like that. It's the end of summer now, and I like the perfume much more. I'm not layering it with anything else, it smells best on the skin, and has a lovely base to it. A really lovely floral, at no point is it heavy, and no hint of cheapness I've sprayed it on my skin in the morning and I can still smell it on my skin when I go to bed

“Turkish delight” is a wonderful comparison, although this confection would maybe have some Sour Patch dust sprinkled on it! This rosy, fruity concoction is so bright and joyful. Like it’s sister Dalistyle, to me it’s a tart-fruity floral, with a slight edge that makes it charmingly weird. Of the two, this is the more user-friendly, but with all the whimsy and oddness of the other. I would almost imagine that a person who loves or hates the bottle will feel the same way about the fragrance inside. I have both the EDT and EDP, the latter stays louder for longer.

One of my favorite Dali scents. I can't say it's poor lasting. On me it's long enough. To my surprise I feel violets there more than roses, 'cause roses usually dominate. Violet with citrus notes gives an interesting result, it's not an usual "fresh citrus" scent, but rich evening fragrance. It's extravagant as old Dali scents are. I don't like modern Dali scents of recent years, they don't have their own "face" and dissolve between other modern fragrances.

extremely synthetic surrealistic: melting plastic -play doh + grape soda + honey. it's crazy but I love it. It resembles some kind of plastic from my childhood (or poster paints ?????) and my grandma flowery eau de toilette. Don't discontinue! EDP - more honey, EDT - more grape soda and plastic color: light violet, mauve ? music: Porque Te Vas - Jeanette ? Pandora - Cocteau Twins ?

I love Daliflor EdT, too. It's my second best after Dalissime in the Salvador Dali line. Fresh, inspiring, playful and exciting.

Candied roses and violets. Nice and fresh. Happy, bright and very unusual, fancy make up smell. I truly love it.

Another favorite of my adolescent years!

I love this! One of my favorit!

On my skin, this is a bright, clean floral fragrance, with no creamy or powdery undertones. Because it is so bright and cheery, I only wear it during the day; I don't think it has enough intensity for night time. I wear it to the office a lot, though. For the first few minutes, I get violet, rose, lily-of-the-valley, and a hint of citrus. As the day goes on, the floral intensifies, but stays crisp, and the fruity notes go away. The description says rose is the star, but I think the violet and lily-of-the-valley are slightly stronger. I can pick up the barest hint of vanilla underneath it all. The sweetness can make this one slightly headache-inducing if I put on too much, so I just dab a small amount on my neck, then wipe any excess on my wrists or the back of my knees. Sillage is relatively soft, lasting power is at about 4-5 hours. I've been nursing a sample for a while, but I might buy a small bottle at some point. After all, the price is right, and I'm a huge Dali fan!

The story: In 1935, Salvador Dali was sitting in his garden. The silhouette of some vegetations inspired his painting, A Woman with a Head of Roses. The bottle to this perfume is a sculpture of that surreal painting. Rumor has it that the juice is inspired by the vegetations from that very garden. The scent: I have the EDT (the green bottle with the translucent cap of roses in a pink box). It starts very refreshing with lots of verbena and citruses. This zesty accord remains throughout the life of the EDT. As the citruses calm down, I sense candied Parma violets, rosewater that are kept fresh by Lily of the valley and Jasmine. Later the dry down is the ubiquitous wood musk accord. I cannot sense the vanilla per se, but it is probably adding to the sweetness of the violets. The performance of the EDT is week, but it is very pleasant and I don’t mind reapplying in the summer heat.

Thank you, Sindri, for your wonderful review, explaining the difference between the EDT and the EDP. I am reviewing the EDT, which is the green bottle and pink box. I blind bought this and very much like the initial opening of green notes, but then it turns a bit to a synthetic powder which I don't much care for. I understand the reference to playdoh and synthetic notes that other reviewers have mentioned. I sense that as well. This smells a little bit like Cacharel's Eden to me.

Daliflor edp makes me think of oakmoss even though that note isn't in the pyramid. I can't make out the notes that are in there, lemon verbena certainly smells differently than this perfume. Nevertheless, DF. is lovely, with good sillage and lasting power. This womens fragrance would work well on men since it's not overly feminine. The Dali line of fragrances is well known for distinctive bottles, and DF is a good example, the flacon is based on an early painting by the master.

EDT - firstly, the bottle is amazing! Secondly, this is a sweet lemon verbena scent. At first it smells the way 7UP tastes. Eventually, the violets come in but the lemon verbena lingers in the background. Great for summer.

Pleasant, though a little synthetic-smelling. An unmemorable floral. Wouldn't buy it again.

Very soft floral perfume. I had a mini of it and liked it very much. A rosy fruit smell

Poor lasting, the fragance is okay. I prefer 'Dalissime' :)

Wow, did I hate this perfume on first sniff! It pimp-slapped me with something loud, sharp and floral; like Freedom for Her and Something Blue made a demon love child! Whoa! It was so awful! I almost thought it had gardenia power punching in with its lack of voice modulation, and talent in making me both flinch and squint simultaneously. Needless to see (which is why I will say it) I immediately listed it for sale on eBay, and have been since procrastinating this review. Tired of seeing it repeat itself on my daily To-Do list, I did the unthinkable and resprayed. Well, I am actually considering it now. Maybe it needed time to settle, or maybe I did, either way its fairly descent. I am shocked! It went from sharp and synthetic to this rather creamy, soapy floral. The dry-down is where it's at, with an almost dryer sheet-clean feel. Lily of the valley plays hard, along with this fantastic violet, from the heart through the finish. The Lemon Verbena relaxes, and lingers softly with this white muskiness, gently kissed with jasmine. I haven't detected any grapefruit, and I'm not to sure about the presence of vanilla. What I am sure of is the self reflection that my first impressions are not always right, and to be patient with fragrances. I mean, how many of us want to be smelled right away after riding for a week in a truck. So, I no longer hate this. And maybe one day, I'll thank my blind buying persuasions. This company puts out some really great original, slightly quirky scents, and this one is no different. Then again, that may be one of my favorite things about this house. Dalilight, for instance, was love at first sniff! I hear that that one has also been discontinued, so - figures. And they wonder why us perfume obsessed get so very superstitious regarding our favorite scents.

Not bad but not for me. In the bottle - curious! Floral lemoncello and something I can't place. On my skin - starts off with turkish delight rose and powdery old-woman florals with sugary undertones. Violet. Synthetic. Once it warms up on me - the more subtle soapy/citrus/woody notes appear but in the back there's still that baked confectionery, gourmet element that repels me (I'm not into gourmet scents!). It soon loses the brightness I appreciated in the bottle andbecomes kind of stale and weird. I'm reminded of M&S's Florentyna! (although this stuff isn't so punchy and overpowering) It's very late 90's European generic floral. I'm often in the mood for a nostalgic, old fashioned floral smell but this one isn't something I'd wear. For the record, I've been reviewing the EDT and it has no staying power.

For the first few minutes after spraying it's a quite pleasant floral fragrance. But after that, it just smells like... chicken soup. I have no idea why, which notes give this bizzare result. It's probably my weird skin chemistry. I've tried this several times and I always ended up smelling like a salty chicken soup. Now, that's a gourmand scent ;).
