Dalimania Salvador Dali 1999

I decided to give Dalimania its first full wearing on the first really hot day of the year. I don't find it a wintery perfume a all. Just the contrary, it's light and cheerful for a summer day if you're not in the mood for something green or citrusy.
It's listed as oriental, but to my nose it's far more on the tropical side - that is of course due to the coconut that stands out very much.
The coconut and vanilla seems to interchange all the way through the top, heart, and base (strangely enough). Other than that the peach and iris come forward the most when I wear it.
It's definitely very sweet, but not edible - the coconut makes me think of old travel agency ads with the photos of those amazing white beaches with palms and blue sky and serenity. Those that make you want to rob a bank to get to that place.
Sillage is not exactly huge. It could easily be worn in a crowded place.
My only complaint would be the longevity - about 3 hours on me, which I consider below average.

I like it very much. If only it had been louder and more persistent, I'm sure I would have loved it.

Spanish women not only have temperament, but usually Latinas also have sharp curves... At least that's how we men always imagine it. The creators of this Dali fragrance must have thought of this type of maneater, because Dalimania is a powerhouse. A sharp hit - but with the heart in the right place. Not extraordinary, a fruity sweet women's fragrance, especially not today, but still Dalimania has something to offer that today's quick shots lack.

A warmth, a depth. Sensuality, maturity despite a lot of sugar & sweetness. Cozy, soothing, but already quite a powerhouse. A well-read, good-natured sex bomb - it almost sounds too good to be true. Pear & coconut, both very thin, on the verge of non-existence, I believe make the difference, they stand out impressively. Patchouli, jasmine, or rose are common, but a peppery coconut is rather rare. So the fragrance is indeed extraordinary. Not an experiment or Dali-extraordinary, but still good. Please, please, please dose it gently!

Bottle: a bit sci-fi, a lot of Dali
Sillage: at the beginning it was already overwhelming, then it pulled itself together
Longevity: 8 hours minissimo

Conclusion: unlike the men's classic, Dalimania is not extraordinary & different, not really Dali in terms of content. But for those who appreciate fruity-sweet women's fragrances with a portion of class that is often missing today, this is not a bad option!

Recently, my cousin visited me.
On one hand, we longed for each other - on the other hand, the "good star" from Stuttgart had to be brought in.
Since she loves the Dali fragrances, I had Dalimania ready for her.
And indeed, she was thrilled with the scent - and I with the stylish car.

The fragrance suits her well with its fruity warmth.
The opening of orange and peach is very appealing - and the pepper fits her temperament perfectly.
But more on that later.
Iris and jasmine are interestingly light-dark, and the addition of milk is wonderfully soft.
Dalimania gains warmth from sandalwood and vanilla.

She wore the fragrance with pride and pleasure and was in great spirits.
Cheerfully, we all took our seats in the luxury vehicle - my husband and I in the back, her husband in the passenger seat, and she wanted to chauffeur us to the restaurant.
Unfortunately, the driver's seat was adjusted to the slender dimensions of her husband, and she got stuck helplessly between the driver's seat and the steering wheel - so to speak, between a rock and a hard place.
Then we got a taste of her temperament - it got very loud inside the car.

Her harsh words about the product with the star and directed at her husband were surrounded by the enchanting scent.

I would have liked to laugh - but didn't dare.
Only when she had freed herself from her predicament did laughter break out.

Now, whenever I smell Dalimania on her, we have to think of her maiden drive and laugh heartily.

By the way, this episode did not dampen her enjoyment of the fragrance.

Dalimania was such a chance encounter while browsing in a perfume shop. A real "wow scent" that has unjustly been forgotten for a long time. It's cardboard-sweet, but in such a homely way that you immediately want to cuddle up with a warm blanket on the sofa, in front of the crackling fireplace. Winter dreams... When it's storming and snowing outside, it really warms your heart.

The scent is intense, but not as overwhelmingly loud as, for example, Angel, if you dose it carefully. My colleagues at the auto repair shop liked it, anyway...

My bottle is red with gold-yellow (the cap too), and depending on how you turn it against the light, its color changes. Very interesting design. Dalimania is definitely worth a try if you like sweet fragrances. The next winter is surely coming...
