Laguna Maravilla

I used to have and love the original Laguna so I got Laguna Maravilla blindly hoping it will be very similar. In description notes seem to be quite different but it just seems like a variation of the original scent - the feel of the original was captured well. The original Laguna seems the be more fruity, tropical and soft and Maravilla is more unisex, citrusy and sharp. At the beginning citrus is very pronounced and sharp leaning the scent towards the masculine side. Then florals make a brief appearance before perfume settling to warm sandalwood-amber base with citrus still lingering. The original Laguna reminded me of tropics, warm seas and holidays. This one is more urban, like summer spent in the city...swimming in man-made lagunas (pools) and socialising on your days off.

Imagine you are on a beach in a marvellous lagoon. A sweet ocean breeze sweeps in bringing with it a mythical seduction. You are being called by a provocative force of nature. Submission to your desire is a pleasurable guarantee. The enduring enchantment of Salvador Dali's classic ozonic fragrance, Laguna has just been amped up with Laguna Maravilla (Marvellous Lagoon). Pure sensuality provokes amorous desire. On first contact strong resemblance to the original is apparent. Not for long. As the ozonic top notes fade, sensual romantic flowers invite provocative base notes. The EDP has a stunning bottle reflective of Salvador's original response to his fragrance creations.

This is the one I had blind bought and was mistaking this as the original.I was wondering why everyone was saying it smelled fruity when I swore I smelled something more citrus and aquatic;I didn't know there were two versions of Laguna.Having said that,I absolutely adore this scent and it is totally unisex.When I had this,it reminded me of the beach and feeling the ocean breeze.It feels great to think of that since I live in the desert state of Arizona.The lasting power is surprisingly great even though it's a cheap fragrance.I will be buying more soon.

Hands DOWN..... Summer in a pair of LIPS!!!! Transported to the heat & the beach EVERYTIME! Refreshing.....but powdery at the same time. Sexy. Long-lasting. Bottle shape is 'naf' & I could care less for it....but the juice inside is MAGIC. I can smell my own scent trail for hours. Have had a bottle for years & it has NEVER gone rancid. My GO TO feel GREAT scent.

So I now have both the original Laguna and today received the Maravilla. While there is a little similarity, I don't find them too similar to not have and enjoy them both. The original is more ethereal, the Maravilla a little sharper and brighter. Maravilla is a bit more masculine, unisex even. That's okay, I'm glad to have both in my collection.
