Dalissime

The perfume that started my interest for scents. I love how fruity it is yet so warm. The scent of peach and apricot with warm notes of vanilla. I got a bottle of dalissime from my mom when I was 14 which she had from the 90's. I remember how much joy this scent gave me. That was why I decided to start collecting perfumes because I had never experienced such emotions towards a perfume before. This scent reminds me of an early spring where the sun has just started to come out a bit more during the days yet there is crispy white snow on the ground. I think the warm notes of vanilla and sandalwood that comes on later makes this perfume just so perfect. I bought a new version of this about 10 years later. Because I pretty much used the bottle I got from my mom quite quickly. Sadly the new version seems to have less duration on my skin. Which makes me a bit sad because I really loved the transition of scents that I felt on the older version.

This is a perfume that wakes to me so many emotions! I used to like this very much when I was a student. So I ordered it and I received it today. Never did I feel so glad about a purchase, like the two Dalis I've bought lately, this one and Dalimania. They remind me of my special studies (Art History) at the University, they remind me of my flatmate, she used to own them and I was wearing them too. I don't agree that it's a romantic scent. I would define it as a very 'stylish' scent that reminds me of Museums, of class and elegance, of an eccentric and sophisticated person wearing it. It's slightly medicinal before the dry down. I would say it's on the same vain as Liberte by Cacharel, IMHO at least, but it's more 'edgy' and more multidimentional. It's not a soft scent, in my opinion. The dry down is ABSOLUTELY DEVINE on me! I ...ADORE IT! Suitable for all ages and all hours. It seems that this perfume...never ages!

Years ago, The Body Shop used to sell these tiny little books with powdered sheets of paper for blotting, mine said "Papier Poudre" on them and had a cameo of some lady on it...this smells exactly like those papers. I don't know if I got a bottle that's off, but this has absolutely zero fruits or vanilla (and I know my gourmands). It is powdery, herbal/green and smells like an expensive face powder (Lancome?)...with a green smell that I am not used to, is that the tagetes? It keeps the powdery smell from being too musty and freshens it up. I am just obsessed with sniffing this right now, I think it's great for spring or summer as it would smell like you just applied talc or face powder. Classy...and timeless...the kind of perfume to wear when having tea in an english garden. I can imagine Anne of Green Gables wearing this, if that makes any sense :)

My mother have always had this perfume in her collection. I fell in love with the bottle and I used to smell the cap at any given moment because the smell was so comforting to me. This christmas she gave me my own bottle and boi was I excited for this beautiful bottle! It now holds the honor place on my perfume shelf. On me this opens up fruity and flirty but dries down to a comforting apricot/peach/jasmine with a hint of sandalwood. It fits me like a glove and it is so easy to wear, this is my go-to fragrance for everyday wear during spring and summer. It is light but noticeable, and it ain ́t hard or sticky what so ever. Even fragrance sensitive people in my social circle can manage this one.

21. January 2011 Peaches and roses that is what i smell in it! It was first fragrance i bought myself ever in mini version. I still love it very much and recently bought a big 100ml bottle once again. I think that the smell has changed since before it was more "clear", now it is more powderly. BUT, still very nice. I think this is also perfect as an everyday fragrance during spring-summer period. AND you will be surprised if you try this at winter time! It smells also very good and not vulgar at all, unlike some summer scents when you use them during autumn-winter time. An absolute HIT! and all-year-round perfume! I really enjoy it and all the others around me also!
