The Resurrection of a Brand?! (Part 5 of 5)
My journey (back) to the Dali brand actually began by chance. I participated in the sharing for “Dali Fabulous 1 (Eau de Parfum Intense)” because the scent and the fragrance pyramid simply appealed to me. It was by no means a disappointment; on the contrary, it was really good and not at all (normal) like I had imagined a Dali fragrance would be.
Hooked by this very good scent experience, I wanted to know what the “Dali Fabulous 4 (Eau de Parfum Intense)” might be like. Since I couldn't find any hints about sources for purchasing it here or anywhere else, I quickly used the contact option on the Dali website.
I then received a response very quickly, informing me that the Fabulous fragrances were not available for purchase in Germany and that there were currently no samples available. They offered to send me scented paper strips to get an impression of the fragrance. I found that very nice and gratefully accepted the offer.
A few days later, the scent letter from France arrived. I sniffed and dared to make the purchase. However, since you cannot have it delivered to Germany through the website, I ordered via email. By the way, there were no shipping costs (since the value of goods was over €50), which I found very surprising, as the French usually charge quite a bit for shipping.
Through this entire email correspondence, a lively contact developed with the lady from Cofinluxe (the producer of the fragrances). She wanted to know how people in Germany knew about the Fabulous fragrances, etc. So I provided her with some information about Parfumo and what we are involved with here.
Without my prompting, she then informed me that she would include samples of the new “Haute Parfumerie” series in the shipment.
For the sake of completeness, it should be mentioned that the shipping went smoothly and everything arrived safely and neatly with me. Oh yes, and the ordered fragrance is also really good on the skin. Dali - for me, already one of the most positive surprises of the year!
But the journey was to continue, as I now had the small black box with the “five treasures” and was very curious about what to expect.
To preempt, all five fragrances are of exceptionally high quality. You can literally smell that nothing was “quickly thrown together” and that the selection of fragrance materials was very demanding.
All five fragrances were composed by Alberto Morillas, a true perfumer who has created scents for renowned houses such as By Kilian, Versace, Valentino, Zegna, Calvin Klein, Armani, Kenzo, Givenchy, Amouage, etc. His passion for fragrances is definitely evident in the new Dali series.
All five fragrances are only available in the 100ml size, and each scent is housed in an elaborate bottle with striking decorative embellishments on the cap. This luxurious design is explained by the fact that the fragrance series was inspired by Dali's jewelry art.
So far, everything is at a very high level and a very good step towards repositioning, back to the luxury brand.
Now, to the fragrances themselves:
Voyage Onirique du Papillon de Vie (approximately “Dreamlike Journey of the Life Butterfly”)
…is the second fragrance in the series, which has taken the theme of “white flowers” as its banner. I tested this fragrance last, as the many white flowers (tuberose, lily of the valley, and lily) had somewhat intimidated me. However, I quickly realized that my fear was unfounded and that there was no floral overkill in store. For Señor Morillas was wise enough to prevent this overkill by adding white musk, finest neroli, and subtly dry cedar. The resulting fragrance profile, with a sea of white flowers on one hand and a fine spiciness and woodiness on the other, creates the impression of perfect balance. Here, everything is just right; there is no excess or deficiency. Voyage Onirique du Papillon de Vie is, despite all its power, not an exaggerated fragrance and not a selfish show-off. Rather, the fragrance shows that even inherently loud scents can strike softer notes.
Conclusion: From my personal perspective, the Dali house has succeeded or will succeed with this Haute-Parfumerie series in establishing itself (again) in the upper fragrance segment. All five fragrances are not only visually but especially content-wise made exclusively and come with the finest ingredients and well-thought-out fragrance concepts and compositions.
