Dalimix Gold

Damn! This stuff is good! I got this for the Old Hammer, but after wearing this to my last community service and receiving two complements, I think I'll keep it for myself. Those gals at the nursing home really know their $#!T. It took 30 sprays for them to pick up on it through their N-95 masks, but it was worth it. And guys, if you're worried that this Golden Girl is gonna be too "Estelle Getty", don't - she's all "Bea Arthur"! Totally unisex. What I smell: A light fizziness, Mint, Woody-Soap, New-in-the-box Atari joysticks. What she smells: A country garden, shaving cream, Afternoon rain-shower. Her extemporaneous remarks: Jesus..... How much did you apply - don't forget Evelyn has emphysema. What this fragrance would wear if it wasn't already a fragrance: Anything from the Barbara Stanwyck Collection. Conclusion: This is one of those "apply-before-bed and sneak sniffs under the covers" fragrances (and you know you do it too).

Oooooh, this is quite gorgeous! Aromatic, herby, green, bitter, clean, fresh, spicy/sweet, dry floral (in this order). I put it on this morning and ever since I have been feeling like I am enveloped in fragile bubbles of a proper old-fashioned mint soap. But Dalimix Gold is not that clean, that's really just a faint undertone, this "purity". It is full of this green, root-y, slightly spicy, balsamic zing. I am not smelling the rose, but the jasmine is there for me. A unique, somehow androgynous creation, it's quite the opposite of "gold" in my opinion, but maybe that's in sync with Dali's quirkiness. Absolutely lovely!

This smells kinda masculine in the beginning but then not quite, a true unisex perfume. It smells like some green plant root or leaf, fresh and pleasant. My mom used to own this when i was little, back when the bottle was still matte and the box a bit different. Can't compare the scents cause i didn't smell the old one but my mom says it's the same.

I'm not absolutely sure, but I believe this (along with Dalimix Black) was intended to be unisexual along with Dalimix Original (silver). I'm a guy and I wear it on occasion anyway. I don't find it particularly sexy- rather, it has a dreamlike quality that reminds me of a misty autumn day with a silver sun shining through golden leaves. It has green and floral top-notes which linger not for long before heart-notes of rose and dry woods emerge, and leave behind a crumbling base of tonka and perhaps just the foundation of jasmine. The whole effect is unusual, transparent, and has the ability to grace a morning and a walk or an afternoon spent shopping and then leave, quietly closing the door behind.

This is a beautiful crisp summer fragrance that can be had for a song. It does open up in masculine territory, sharp notes that really turned me off in the beginning. I purchased this fragrance in cool weather months and it was not a good fit for my chemistry. Now summer is here and the weather is hot, I find Dalimix Gold with it's clean, crisp, minty coolness to be very refreshing. It stays a bit sharp on my skin for about a half an hour then the floral notes take over and it is very pretty. Perfect for summer!
