Eau de Dali

A dear friend's vanity has some hidden gems, including this one right here. Her bottle was one of her mom's travel purchase years and years ago. Eau de Dali is an ethereal, very innocent scent. Opened with a burst of citruses and a tinge of greens, Eau de Dali then manifested itself as a mix of vintage cosmetic powder and subtle woodsy notes. The duet of rose and iris creates a pretty veil of powderiness. Such a pretty vintage. My friend's Eau de Dali has been sitting around for so long, collecting dust at the back of one of her drawers (at least she stored it properly!). It still smells very lovely with strong projection and decent longevity. I really want to purchase my very own bottle but sadly this is not readily available in my country. A beautiful scent indeed.

Eau de Dali has the same vibe as another personal favorite of mine - Cheap and Chic - in my opinion. Not a safe blind as it's very different from today's fragrances profiles, unless you're like me and love vintage. Opens very citrusy and slowly dries on skin to give a "clean", out of the shower sensation in which rose and iris are prevalent. I guess this fragrance, being this old, must have been replicated in other generic products along the years, as this scent reminds me some drugstore body moisturizers. Still, it's nice on its own and affordable. Very decent longevity and sillage, office friendly and the bottle is amazing. 8/10

This is a light, powdery floral which I am enjoying wearing in spring/early summer time. I agree with shelpen, in the way that it is a bit like a body mist... I feel it would be impossible to overspray this airy fragrance. The bottle is a beauty and will be displayed after use!!

Ele é um perfume intenso, mas que não enjoa em mim fica um buquê de rosas atalcado remete a uma mulher classuda e discreta. Gosto dele para usar de dia ou a noite, mas sinto que a noite ele projeta e dura mais na minha pele. É um clássico gostosinho que não largo nunca.

it's almost like a rosy green, aquatic vintage with some light woods at the base. very rosy and very pretty:). wish it lasted longer though.

I love it!!! Everybody asked me what fragrance I wore! Seems that you always are clean and fresh even if you pass all day long out home! =)

This came in a set I got for my birthday last year, When I originally put it on, I wanted to wash it right back off. It just smelled like musk and alcohol with an undertone of citrus and powder. It's not like I poured it on, either.As time went on, the citrus took center stage in a significant way with powdery rose and cedar companionship. The alcohol scent definitely calms down, but never completely goes away- at moments after an hour of wear, I get wafts of it that make me think of red wine and/or sangria. And other moments, there's a distinctive lotion-y element to it. All in all, this is ok, definitely a lighter scent when it calms down from musky alcohol. It's not offensive, but it isn't my favorite from the Dali line, either. I usually love citrusy scents, and the more I wear it, the more I like it, but it is a scent that needs to be warmed up to. It's different in a fun way, but definitely wouldn't be my go-to everyday scent. For me, it's not sexy enough for evening wear, but I wouldn't wear it to a job interview or work, either. I guess it would be okay for day wear such as meeting a friend for coffee or lunch, or running errands. Edit: reapplied and just pinpointed the alcohol scent! It smells like tequila! So with the citrus, when originally applied, this perfume smells like a musky "snakebite"! After hours of wear, I completely get the feminine side to it. It is lovely when the majority of the alcohol scent is gone. Sillage stays close to the skin and even though I can still smell it hours later, it's definitely on the lighter side. This morning I thought for sure that I wouldn't like it, but now...it's definitely growing on me.

Such a fresh, fairly unisex vibe in a definite 90's style- especially I enjoy the rose-fennel combo (not listed above, but I insist) which reminds me of rose-sugar'd fennel seeds (mukhwas)- very gracefully Indian- an especially evident influence when considering the light, sandalwood-dominant base, and the zing of coriander seeds, mint, ginger,and green tea floating above in the heart. The effect as a whole gives this a cooling, summery flair- full of light- and as I close my eyes I am in the midst of enjoying a beautiful, warm day strolling lazily amidst waterside shops that I know only too well. Longevity: 15+ hours (oriental base is light, but well-constructed and long-lasting, with a mysterious incense-like quality) Sillage: 3-4' at onset, dwindling to soft after about 6 hours. Originality: 7/10 -although there are countless 1990's-and-after fragrances with a similar vibe in the head and heart, 'Eau de Dali' does retain an individual, graceful charm, and is beautifully done.

The "floral-green" category is one that almost never works for me, so I am glad to say that to me this is definitelly not a "floral-green" :-D. I experience it more like (baby) woody/oriental or very delicate "floriental" The reviews are so very different from each other, that I guess the fragrance works very individually on each skin. On me Eau de Dali is soft, light, beautifully girly powdery floral with a bit of fruit salad thrown in. I don't detect a citrus of any kind and no green notes, I mostly notice those rosy puffs floating over a gentle sandal/amber-y base. The "peach-ness" does give this fragrance a little shampoo-like feel, but it's quite adorable nevertheless. Unfortunately, just like puffs of rosy powder, on me Eau de Dali dissolves into the thin air very soon after the application. Still - very enjoyable.

Eau de Dali is a very light floral fragrance (wich is compleatly different from EDT Dali). I don't detect any citrus in it, only flowers. Very pleasant scent. Unfortunately, it doesn't stay long on my skin, nor my clothes. No sillage at all eather, the scent stays very (and I mean it!) close to the skin. It is a good perfume though for summer and hot spring days, especialy if I'm planing to wear another frangrance later in the day. Because in 2 hours max the pleasant and delicat Eau de Dali will desapear, giving me the chance to wear another fragrance without being altered by the first one.

Green notes are not my favourite, but in this perfume they blend in and add to the overall scent. It starts off as citrus with hints of grass, and then develops into a peachy, powdery and slightly woody scent on my skin. It is inoffensive but unique, and draws compliments when I wear it. To me, it is very beautiful and I cannot stop smelling my wrists when I have it on! I agree with others that there is something sensual about it and I adore the bottle.

I'm also a fan of Dali fragrances, but their most recent fragrances and bottles aren't as interesting as the older ones. This is one of my favorites. They have different mixes with rose notes in their scents some are more aggressive and impressive, but this one is like an ingratiating seductive rose fruity mist that envelopes you and takes you away. When I wear this fragrance I feel myself if I were looking at the Dali's pictures.

I find Dali fragrances very synthetic smelling but i love all the lips series, including eau de Dali, signature and both Lagunas. Eau de Dali is a perfect summer scent very refreshing and innocent. I agree there is a touch of vintage vibe to it, but in a good way, it just adds it elegance and femininity. It's a bit soapy at first but it dries down to a more woodsy scent. Very likeable and adorable!

Really a floral Green scent. Fresh citrus is the first thing I notice, then nice flowers. Fresh, clean, not to sweet perfum - perfect for the office or every-day-use. Härligt floral green doft. Det första jag känner är fräsch citrus i toppnoten, sen kommer mjuka blommor. Fräsch, ren, inte för söt, inte för tung doft. Perfekt för kontoret eller som varje-dag-doft.

The opening is green and sweet with fruits, notably pineapple, rendered in a more mature and classic way than some other pineapple scents that are aimed at a younger crowd. It develops quickly and within the hour the smell is of sweet peaches and sandalwood, it is very much like a shampoo or soap smell. I like it, very comforting and unique.

Like most of dali fragrances, this is not the most sophisticated but still is a beautiful floral fragrance. It has a vintage vibe. Really green and sharp at the begining, but after a while it turns into a gentle woody floral scent. I really like it for its uniqueness and personality. Like laguna, it has a good staying power for an EDT.

This is a mouth-watering floral, I am truly very impressed with it. The jasmine comes through beautifully, with the sandalwood and cedar giving a woody/musky combination. It smells like gently sun warmed skin, quite feminine, and rather subtle. One could easily grow fond of this romantic combination.

This is not amazing, but still quite good. I sense it mostly as woody, citrusy and spicy. Very strong scent, a good sillage, I believe. This seems to me like an autumn scent somehow. Strong and serious, it's without sweetness. It's definitely wearable, but I wouldn't be too crazy about it.

This was my second perfume ever,and my first go at "sweet" scents. Was indeed mild enough and blended well with my skin, but when I sniff it now, I can feel avery synthetic vibe coming out of it. Liked it, don't miss it. Longevity was very good on me, and sillage quite gentel.

The top and middles notes linger for a long time with this Dali fragrance. The sandalwood and vanilla take a while to appear. It's a very conservative, safe floral fragrance that I wear during the day. Fabulous in summer time, one feels fresh and clean when wearing it.
