Orient and Occident

For me, Dali is the epitome of a light oriental with elegant retro charm. Here, the sensuality of oriental spices meets the floral elegance of European-French character. Maybe not a great perfume masterpiece, but definitely solid perfumer's craft. It also speaks to the fact that it has been able to stay on the market for so long. For me, this is not a perfume to go out with. I find it too classic and not sexy-provocative enough for that. Rather, it exudes natural authority for me. Since it makes me feel very pulled together, I like to use it in business. Would there still be a salon culture as in the 19th century, I could imagine him but also as a night out fragrance.

I bought Dali online as a blindbuy a few years ago. However, I would not recommend this to anyone. The top notes are too sharp for that. Who gets along well with Chanel no. 5 (EDP) or with White Diamonds by Elizabeth Taylor, which will most likely have no problems with Dali. All others are advised to be patient when testing. Behind the sharp, soapy prelude hides a well wearable, soft melting heart base, which is indeed very strongly reminiscent of the 80s fragrances. Personally, the base reminds me, for example, very much of Marbert Woman, another member of the family of oriental Chypredüfte.

Hard to imagine that you can still find this kind of fragrances in the (analog) specialty store. Online, however, you can definitely still find Dali Woman. I wish that the Dali series would manage to find new, perhaps younger, followers. Other Dali fragrances like Dali 2011 or Laguna are not bad either. They are more modern and lighter and maybe not quite as "madame" as this one. It would be very unfortunate from my point of view, if these little darlings would disappear from the market, especially since they have a very good price-performance ratio.
