Sunrise in Cadaquès

A nice blind buy, and very affordable. The 30 ml has an adorable bottle! I was curious to smell all this happiness, freshness, warmth, intimacy, joy and optimism in a bottle, as it is mentioned in the description. Well, maybe the grey and rainy weather is just not suitable today, but I don't get much optimism & happiness from this perfume yet. I think the description is more applicable to other Dali fragrances like Itislove and Itisdream. I don't find it to be masculine, but it is certainly not a girly fruitbasket toffee vanilla gourmand kind of smell. The scent opens with mandarins, not sweet, but fresh, even a bit bitter, like the sharp juice that sometimes sprays from a mandarin when you open it with your nails, and like mandarin peel. Then the balsamic notes follow and smoothen the sharp notes out, becoming warm and soothing. I don't get much flowers, however I do notice the immortelle which is also present in my favourite summer scent Itislove by Dali. My first impression of Sunrise in Cadaquès is that minus the mandarins, it smells very much like Inoubliable Elixir Patchouli by Reminiscence. However, Elixir Patchouli has a huge staying power. As for this one, I already re-applied after two hours. As for sillage, Sunrise can hardly offend anyone, it is very modest. Try it if you like something off the beaten path!

Sunrise in Cadaques is my most recent blind buy based on how much I liked the name and the bottle, also it's my first Dali fragrance. So far it's a like but not a love, however I think that might change in the summer because it will please me to wear much more at that time. This is the lightest scent I have that is this predominately woody, in fact it's so woody on me throughout the whole life of it that I can't detect much else than that. It's a pleasantly dry fragrance that could be very refreshing when I'm looking for a perfume in the summer that isn't overly citrusy or aquatic: I like many in those categories but this is pleasantly different. Another good thing about it is it's not a real "girly" perfume, I wouldn't assign a gender to it, it's versatile. I love to light a candle in my room in the evening and put it right behind the bottle, so I can watch the flame flickering through the glass, it's gorgeous with this bottle and its colors. Not a bad experience at all with my first Dali.

Well, I'm not sure what to write about really. It's not bad, it's not great. It's the little popper, that never popped. As kids, we would stomp on them, again and again futilely, until we would find no further pleasure and move onto the next thing that might spark our interests. Yep, that's Sunrise in Cadaques. It doesn't smell like much; maybe slightly cosmetic; or the smell of your jeans upon returning from a long walk through the California country side, brushing herbaceous flora along the way. The mute scent opens slightly with body heat, tangling briefly with dry down, and for those moments, you pause briefly, as if in the distance you think you may see the beginnings of something grand and beautiful. Alas, it is but a mirage, and stuck with a large bottle of the substance that caused the illusion, you promptly slump down with the nagging thought - "Is this really it?"

Ultimate vintage summer scent with a balsamic note which lingers throughout all stages of Sunrise in Cadaquès. It gives me a strong sense of nostalgia and I do not know why. For me this perfume sounds the best on the summer evening. In hotter temperatures it opens up significantly more masculine and I absolutely understand reviewers who say it’s too masculine for them. There is something little bit salty about this perfume and I wish I had a chance to wear it to the sea side holiday one day. It’s safe and it’s a beautiful scent buy but it does not strike me as something you can wear every day. Also longevity is very good on this one at least for me. Holds on my skin for a while

Actually...very nice ! Opens with elemi/citrus/orangey .....the mid-notes of the florals....yes ..iris/jasmine and the immortal for extra "zing". The tolu balsam note is evident and balances out everything.IMO....light patchouli/labdanum/musky. yes... this is in the "vein" of the Hermes scents mentioned above....but Cadaques seems more "oomphy"..and maybe less smooth. For the scent and price....it's a good bargin scent for sure. Performance wise, IMO, this performs a tad bit better than the Hermes.....??....yup. A happy blind buy. Easy to wear and like.
