Dalimania starts out with a fairly sweet and hard-hitting fruity note of apricot. that after a few minutes starts to separate into orange and peach develops. The overall mixture is sweet with a sour kick. Floral notes start developing while the peachy aroma is still dominant. The mixture reminds me of the fresh and somewhat sharp and lily of the valley smell mixed with lots of fruit. I have to the say, the fruity dominance masks most of the floral notes throughout and even seep into the base notes. The floral essences simply tone down the fruit and add some depth, thus the olfactory equivalent would be like smelling a single flower amongst lots of overripe fruit. There’s a fair amount of sillage which is by no means overpowering. Halfway through the middle notes, the fragrance develops a creamy edge with a slight peachy tinge to it. There’s definitely a milk note and the smell of raw coconut milk) that gives Dalimania a sort of cloudiness mixed with a subtle and non-foody vanilla aroma. The drydown is a whisper of fruit within a milky, creamy oriental base that will stay close to the skin and last till about 8 – 9 hours. Dalimania remains a staple when I’m looking for a rich, sweet exotic fruity floral fragrance with an oriental streak –a very ‘nineties’ thing and typical of the decade. Recommended.

coconut night fantasia I waited long to find a scent like this, sharp coconut,orange,peach,jasmine, a bit of iris,vanila,rose,milk,etc. I expected some sorth of lighter Angel.It's far from that! Dalimania is a very sensual perfume, very intimate. It doesn't smell foody, and it gives you the sensation that something acute is going on on those notes you smell. The red colour of the bottle is right for it. It makes you think of this colour even without looking at the bottle. Ok, enough with the good part. The bad part is that this little marvel is, unfortunately, a skin scent. It goes a bit stronger in the first 15 minutes, than it fades so fast it makes your nose spin trying to smell it again. :)) Sory. It really lasts very little. P.S.-it has absolutely nothing to do with Dalissime, though the shape of the bottles is the same.

Top note is pure juicy sweet peach. Then comes a touch of tart blackcurrant. This can seem like a plain, sweet, fruity peach, especially if you keep sniffing your skin directly. But, give it a bit more time and it does develop a milky creamy gourmand vanilla base. And a slight touch of woodiness which gets stronger and stronger over time until it’s really a sandalwood musky scent with the peachy fruit remaining. Lovely. Fortunately I don’t get much of the white flowers. And only the slightest touch of coconut in the sillage, which is ok, The lingering skin scent is peachy and lasts ages. Edit: spraying 8 sprays gives a lovely Sillage, peachy, vanilla and milky coconut.

I'm typically not a fan of oriental fragrances because for me most of them open way too strong. It's the same with this one. But since it was a blind eBay buy (I love most of Salvador Dali fragrances) I had to give it a try. And oh my god, I'm happy I did! After 5-10 minutes this thing melts and softens into perfect note harmony. I can smell all of the notes, &these make a great combination. Soft but still "sharp" enough to make an impression. Dalimania really surprised me and made me more open to experiment with perfumes outside my comfort zone.
