Floral oriental bomb

Dahlia is for me a real bomb. Since the moment when i spray It i begins to project with a huge intensity and It lasts on muy skin the whole day. This perfume has some oriental character with the leather, oud, patchouli... But what i feel the most are the flowers, overall Jasmine, tuberoses and something that should be the dahlia, although i dont know how a dahlia is supposed to smell. For me is more like a chrisantheme smell, very dry and animalic. This is a day scent but not for daily use because i find It too strong and animalic for everyday moments. It is more for specisl ocassion better during the day than at evening ir at night. The opening is a bit more citrusy and spicy but It last for my José only minutes and very quick all the flowers begin to appear. Very good perfume, more according to the very good price i have paid for It. I own this fragance and peony from the dessert flowers collection by Jesús del Pozo. I have been trying to find Lily as Well but It is a bit difficult here .

A Slapstick Time Travel to the Attic

Somewhere the green lantern had to be, she was sure she had seen it somewhere. However, that was a long time ago, a very long time. She hadn't thrown it away. So it had to be somewhere. Maybe in the attic?
The hatch creaked open, slowly revealing the narrow wooden staircase. She climbed up. A strange smell of old, slightly musty wood hit her. At least there was no talk of dampness; it was dust-dry here and dark. Why had they never put a light up here? She should have brought a flashlight, she thought, distracted as her left foot caught on an unevenness, stumbling, seeking support, flailing her arms, panicked, there had to be the old dresser to hold onto, her right hand bumped into something, knocked it down, with a bang it fell to the ground, just at the moment when she half fell onto the dresser, clinging to it, regaining her balance.
For a few moments, she stood supported by the dresser, waiting for her pounding heart and breath to calm down. She looked around. Now her eyes had adjusted to the darkness, and she could see a little better. What had her foot caught on? She looked down. Ah, there was an old cosmetic case from the 60s or 70s that had popped open and spilled its contents across the floor. Obviously, that had been the bang. A lipstick in a golden tube, old rose, without a cap lay there. And a powder box, the golden lid popped off, the powder crumbling out and now forming a smoky glassy mélange with the stirred-up dust of the attic. And a tiny bottle, letting its last three drops of thick, over-aged medicine slowly and mournfully seep onto the wooden floor. Now she also saw what had caused her to fall, looked closer, crouched down on the floor: beeswax. You could still smell it, now that she had disturbed it with her house shoe. Yes, someone had probably been smarter than her and had taken a candle up here to have light. She sniffed the wax again but had to cough immediately; the powder, the dust, the strangely coal-like medicine, the musty lipstick - she quickly straightened up, held her breath before it could turn into a coughing fit. Quickly, she gathered the lipstick, the cap, the small bottle, the powder box with its lid and threw them back into the soft-lined, red plastic-covered cosmetic case. She closed it, but the clasp stuck, so she simply left it open. Still holding her breath, she descended the little staircase and retracted it. Now she could breathe again.
What had she actually wanted up there? Oh, yes, the green lantern. Well, not so important. She had managed all those years without the lantern, so she didn't need it now either. As impressive and unusual as it was, she had never really liked it anyway.

Dahlias don't smell...

...except for a variety called "Heini," which is said to have a subtle honey scent.
I got this information from the website of the Hamburg Dahlia Garden (which I have never visited).

So, if there is no fragrant reference, the imagination of what such a flower might smell like has to suffice.

Dahlia is part of the Arabic-inspired fragrance line of the brand JdP, and its lush floral-oriental orientation fits perfectly with the marketing concept.

I became aware of the fragrance at the Weigand perfumery in Innsbruck, which had the complete series in stock. Unfortunately, I had already tested too many fragrances, so the very nice saleswoman packed a sample for me with my purchases.

Dahlia is, as mentioned, a lush Floriental with a restrained scent development, a noticeable sillage, and very good longevity.
I can't identify a clear top note; rather, all the components, especially the floral ones, are present from the very beginning.

The floral accord has been, in my opinion, very well balanced, and although I usually don't like such floral origins (especially tuberose and jasmine can be a bit too much for me), this one is almost a candidate for purchase.

From the base components, I can most clearly recognize the sweet patchouli and a very subtle hint of oud. However, these notes only come more to the forefront after about an hour, supporting the floral accord rather than completely replacing it.

Those who prefer perfumes with a great scent development will likely not find much joy in Dahlia, and as a man, a higher tolerance for floral notes is needed here.

Although I really like Dahlia, this perfume ultimately is not a candidate for my collection, as I would probably wear it only very rarely.

Green Lantern

Like an oriental lamp, it comes across, and the color green could not be more fitting for this scent in my opinion. Heavy and angular, the bottle lies in the hand. You really have to exert some force to remove the cap that keeps the fragrant secret under wraps. There is only the inner cap housing made of plastic, and everything else is truly metallic, enclosing the heavy hexagon like an "iron fist." The green glass reminds me, besides the oriental lamp, a bit of a green growing gemstone that juts out from a rock. In contrast, you can't injure yourself on the bottle, unless you get it thrown at you; then the heavy piece will do quite a job ;-)
As for the scent: One spray is enough, and the apartment is gradually lulled by it. Heavy and thick, profound and sensual, I perceive mainly neroli, tuberose, and jasmine in the air, wafting through the rooms until they are all completely filled. I myself am already somewhat in a trance. What a scent!
I have rarely sniffed something so opulent, densely floral, and exquisite. Finely tuned, round, and sensually elegant, the three take their rounds initially alone through the corridors and rooms before they absorb the base note in all its sweet green and slightly leathery aspect and unite with it. Those who could still stand independently until now will be completely brought to their knees, and in the most positive sense. Before such a scent, I even overcome the worst rheumatism in my knee and humbly approach my carpet, pure pathos. What a fragrance experience! Overwhelming, captivating, commanding, and yes, for me also a bit erotic, due to its sensually warm and profound aspects that, when tested further on my skin, dance playfully and teasingly on their seductive path through my nose up to my brain. As if a swarm of tiny fairies had been freed from the bottle, now shyly giggling behind their little hands and fluttering their eyelashes in the air, playing their games with one. So purposefully flirtatious that one cannot resist, so hidden and enchanting through their feigned shyness, that one doesn't even notice how one is already caught in the (perfume) trap. If I were a man, I would feel as if singing sirens were mercilessly weaving me into their melodies, leading me bound to my doom.
This scent probably won't be everyone's cup of tea. For those among you who appreciate heavy, balsamic-floral, and slightly green-tinged fragrances with a special value and wish to use it as their own secret weapon, "Dahlia" is just right. A bit melancholic, very sensual and feminine, it envelops you in thick, green, and very weighty velvet. Not a scent you perceive on every corner. Rather, a gem from the outside as well as the inside. Not to be shared, unless on this channel. "Dahlia" is a seductive scent if you like it opulent-floral, and I would even attribute a certain smokiness to it and wouldn't be surprised to find incense in the pyramid if I didn't already know it. Its opening is mercilessly loud, its progression equally consistent, and its longevity among the very best. Just as the trio from the beginning and the base lay within themselves, the scent remains as it is until its last breath is done.
In my collection, it feels extraordinarily at home, as it seems to be another mosaic piece that continues and increasingly completes my personal "picture of perfume."
Jesus del Pozo "Dahlia" has made the leap from zero directly onto my "save it if it burns" list and has captured my heart in a storm.

Dahlia smells...

...to me sweet-green and slightly bitter-woody (plant-like...) and that is the overall impression of this fragrance.
The perfume starts with a heavy sweet honey note (where from?) and a really dusty pinch of white pepper. This lasts about 10 minutes during which the sweetness diminishes and this dustiness progressively transforms in the next half hour into a powdery suede-wood mix, with Oud being barely detectable, and the cypress begins to add a very fine green spicy edge to the scent. Patchouli is also slightly noticeable. At this point, Dahlia is hardly sweet anymore. Strangely, during this first test, I couldn't detect any floral show. A few hours later, a fine cypress-touched woodiness remains with a hint of jasmine soap.
In my opinion, suitable for the colder season, definitely unisex niche quality, yet Dahlia seems to develop quite differently on the skin of different people.
I find it highly interesting, mysterious, and sophisticated.
