Great Brand’s Great Miss

Back in 1989 I went to see a retrospective exhibition of Salvador Dali’s many works. I remember being a huge fan, dying to see Swans reflecting Elephants in real life. I also wanted to be able to study Mae West’s Face which May be Used as a Surrealist Apartment, a painting I still enjoy very much, due to its humour and colours. I was not disappointed. His many works are interesting, even today, and the fact that he was quite a character himself makes it even better. His aparte mustache, his overly eccentric way of dressing and the whole fuss and ado around his person makes it worthwhile to read about him and dig into his story.
I have had his first perfume since 1986 - it was released in 1983. It is a gorgeous spicy chypre, and it is wonderfully comforting when I wear it. Soft, smooth, marvelous. Laguna from 1991 is also a beautiful gem by this brand. It has a uniqueness that makes it interesting every time I wear it. In 1987 they released Dali pour Homme, an amazing spicy/woody fragrance, that, in my opinion, belongs in the Men’s Top 100 but has not yet made its way there. I therefore simply do not understand how the brand Salvador Dali would make the move from great to mediocre with Dalissime.
First of all, it is synthetic. Through the journey there is this awkward smell of laboratory or factory, which spoils the experience. The combination of the fruity notes is too overwhelmingly sweet and when it moves to the florals, the narcissus is a bit synthetic too. The bottle, however, is beautiful. As are most of the bottles from this brand.
This is not a fragrance for me.

Chin up, baby...

Why do I use it so rarely? Because I know that even if I sometimes don’t want to, I will become happier. I know, as soon as I see the packaging, I know that when I take the bottle out, I seal it when I spray it.
I do like Dali in general. If I were more modern, I would say Salvador. Nowadays, it’s all about being on a first-name basis, even if you’re just wearing socks from Calvin or Tommy...

Enough of the chatter.
I bought my first Dalissime when I was horrified after sniffing Boudoir. I was relieved back then that not everything smells "like that."

And relieved is also one of the words I would use if I had to describe it in Taboo or whatever that game is called.
I didn’t, as usual, concern myself with what the artist intends with the fragrance. Whether I am supposed to embody pure seduction or the lightness of being.
I just pressed the sprayer and thought: Nice!
So light, so cheerful, so friendly, carefree. Carefree, exactly, that’s it.

A very pleasant mix of fruit and flowers. Delicately intertwined, but resulting in a fluffy cuddle cloud that is not powdery-fluffy-cottony, but juicy and clear. (What nonsense?) Juicy like freshly squeezed juice, floral like a random breeze.

As far as I can judge, the fragrance does not develop a killer sillage with even somewhat proper use, but gently envelops me and coils around me like a snake with fur, if there were such a thing.

Dalissime lacks any - really ANY - attention-grabbing ingredient. It might get you compliments, but probably only because you look friendly. (That’s inevitable, not even for me.) What it does have, though, is a large portion of "it’s not that badism."

Basically, you can wear it anytime, maybe not so much in summer because it gets too sunny, but that’s a matter of taste. In autumn, however, when it slowly becomes clear that it’s getting cold, the trees are shedding their leaves except for a few exceptions, and it might often be reported in the weather that it’s "wet, cold, and foggy," then Dalissime is in its element. It’s not a cuddler; it’s a gentle nudge under the skin, a wink. It’ll be fine, look!
And even the combination of sandalwood, tonka, vanilla, and amber, which tends to be extreme and bordering on intrusive cuddling, cannot make me want to pull my scarf tighter around my neck.

It makes me smile. Even in autumn when it looks dreary. And I’m happy about that.

Salvador's Smile

Bought today at Rossi for €13.90, and just the bottle was worth it, but I knew, of course, that the content wouldn't disappoint me.

As soon as the alcohol fades away, I can smell the typical Dali note that runs like a red thread through all his fragrances, even through the fresher, summery ones like Dalistyle or Purplelips. I find it astonishing, and yet each Dali scent smells different and has its own character.
Dalissime starts unexpectedly (for a Dali) fruity, almost delicious with apricots and raspberries. With a kick, as if there's a splash of Malaga in there, hic.
Floral, opulent heart note. Tipsy lily of the valley and candied roses in rose punch. I would have preferred to have made a rose punch. It just brushes past a tad too much floralness; otherwise, I really wouldn't have understood Salvador anymore, but he just grins.
A frisky little kitty cat plays out in the base, warm, a bit lustful, woody, meow-musk. A hint of animalistic, but bearable and nowhere near as much as in Salvador Dali (femme).
Recognition value 1a, and I should sign up for "Wetten, daß!" Who can find Dali perfumes among dozens of other scents? But if I spray Gottschalk's blonde curls with the Dalis, then he might get naked or play Harve, depending on what the Dalis trigger in him, and I would be in mortal danger.
Well, another gem in my collection ;-)

I MUST add something: It doesn't smell cheap! No Dali does! If you don't understand these fragrances: Just don't buy them!

Does it have to be this way??

Yes Medusa, you have piqued my curiosity with your Dalis. I never consciously noticed them before, so today in the department store I sprayed left Laguna and right Dalissime. Well, the bottle is quite fun, but sorry, it looks cheap. It somehow reminds me of Disney Land. Dali's surrealism was not so romantic-kitschy. I still see the fried egg clock in front of me. A bit more creativity and its flashy, quirky style would have done the bottles good too.

The opening made me internally wave it off. Fruit salad in a flower shop. No thanks. Half an hour later on the bus - well, it’s not that bad, it now has a powdery note added, which is quite nice and helps to digest the fruit. However, quite thoroughly, because by the time I got home, there was nothing left of the fruitiness. The scent has transformed in my olfactory color perception from bright pink to golden brown and now, about two hours after spraying, I quite like it. Dalissime is now skin-like, has a powdery cuddle factor, but is already starting to weaken. I’m sure in another two hours it will be gone.

These are exactly the factors that bother me with fragrances. This radical change of direction. No red thread, just a change of theme. After two hours, I’m walking around with a completely different scent than the one I sprayed on. The perfume jumps through the pyramid and with the last leap, it’s over. No, I don’t like that.

Fruity.....

and delicious and typically Dali..... It could be more associated with summer, but due to musk, vanilla, and tonka bean, it is not only lightly fruity-fresh but also warm and sensual! A beautiful quirky fruit basket for little money!! For me, the peach is the most dominant! From the beginning to the end!
My 18-year-old son said it smells like powdered sugar drizzled with mandarin juice.... and I think that hits the nail on the head!

Sweet, powdery, fruity (especially lychee) + floral.
Curiously, I smelled some mushrooms.
Strange, dark, and interesting scent.

Fruity, distinctive summer scent in a great bottle. Reminds me of the 90s. I remember it being more intense! Reformulated?

Delicate powdery fruits, peach & apricot in the foreground, transitioning into a soft vanilla/tonka/wood blend.
Also very nice for autumn.

Starts beautifully fruity, not too sweet. On the way to the soft, creamy base, I smell the daffodil on my skin.

Starts off alcoholic, then fades into a fruity fresh 2000s fruit basket - you can't hate it, but you can't take it too seriously. Summer Kidz Cocktail.
