Salvador by Salvador Dali (2010)

Batch code 17011CM. I just realized that this might be the gem in my collection. It certainly can't compete in quality with GIT or Dior Homme Intense or the drydown of Prada Luna Rossa Black. And sure, it is no doubt syntetic. But really, it smells really nice and at the same time unoffensive. Very maskuline, fresh and still not in your face. Hotel room with very clean white sheets. And then a big bowl of grey pears. Sillage is decent and longevity could certainly be better although quite alright on my skin. But for the price you will not mind the hassle of reapplying once or twice during the day. (Paid about 11 euros for 50 ml) And in terms of versatility this stuff is yet to be beaten in my opinion. Applying for a new job or won the nobel price? Yet another work day or the date night of your life? Summer or winter? CEO, sales or mind killing office job. It will do the job if unsure what to wear. I tend to get rather bored wearing it after a day or two as it is quite linear but has come to realize that the people around me don't percieve it in that way. If there is something as a safe blind buy this sure is it. But don't take my word for it as your milage might vary.

''Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.'' Salvador by Salvador Dali is a warm, fresh spicy, powdery and vanilla base fragrance. It stays very close to the skin, but possesses a very unique and distinct aroma where sophistication is not to be questioned. This fragrance slightly reminds me of Plus Plus Masculine by Diesel, Desire for men by Alfred Dunhill and 1 Million by Paco Rabanne. But that's just a slight similarity in comparison for all 3 fragrances have their own unique character. The silage on Salvador is moderate where as longevity can be a little bit tricky. I found that 2 sprays on each pulse point does the trick and allows the fragrance to last a little longer. For me I get 4-6 hours but I'm definitely lucky to see 7-8 This works well during the Spring, Fall and Winter time and can be use for casual wear.

The pear is leading note in this perfume. I feel it from the beginning to the end with nuances. The other ingredients just support the pear. In general the scent slightly reminds me of bubble gum. 'Salvador' is not very strong in projection so I can say it is office-safe, but depends. IMHO it is good for those whose work is related to children (teachers, nurses, etc).

10 minutes after aplying on skin its smells like a lumbejack's socks after a day of work in a rubber boots, but after 10 minutes along it settles down, and somehow it becomes very pleasant, masculine, sofisticated, semisweet, calm, mature and dark. not for youngsters or metropolitan metrosexuals.

I love it, but nothing special. It reminds me of Black by Cavalli; Code by Armani and some others from this group. The scent is very oriental to me, a little bit sweet and spicy. Everybody who adores "black scents" as me will fall in love with this one.
