【Salvador Dali for Women: A Sweet, Sensuous, Sophisticated Scent】
I have always enjoyed Dali's paintings.
On that trip to Europe, my friend Keiko called me the Pearls and Perfume Woman...
Although this slightly spicy, oriental perfume immediately became one of my favorites, I only bought a one ounce Parfum de Toilette Spray, rather than the 3.4 ounce bottle, at the time because of my limited graduate student budget.
I have since purchased it again, but the scent immediately reminds me of my summer in Madrid each time I smell it.
The unusual shape of the stopper and bottle caught my eye immediately.
The stopper is a translucent plastic double-sided nose.
The bottle is a pair of lips back to back with frosting on the glass in place of lipstick. Dali by Salvador Dali was initially conceived as a project by the Managing Directors of Cofci who approached Dali in 1981.
This perfume can be found as Dali or Salvador Dali for Women.
The perfume was introduced to the market by the design house of Salvador Dali in 1983.
Although this was the first fragrance by Salvador Dali, it was not the first perfume bottle he designed. Dali designed Le Roy de Soleil for Elsa Schiaparelli in the 1940's, and the bottle for "Monsieur Marquay" by Marquay in the 1950's.
Dali is a sophisticated, soft, feminine, sweet and musky scent that is most suitable for evening wear, but I love it any time of day.+++
The top notes of this fragrance are bergamot, mandarin and basil.
The middle notes are lily of the valley, rose and cedar.
The base notes are vanilla musk and benzoin.
I enjoy the lingering scent of the base notes on my skin throughout the day.
The vanilla musk is the longest lasting part of the scent and complements me well.
Dali will smell differently on every woman, but I highly recommend Dali by Salvador Dali if you enjoy sweet, musky scents.
Dali is a fairly reasonably priced perfume.☆☆☆☆☆
