Laguna (1991)
by Salvador Dali

All I get from this brew is a thick brine. It's so salty I can literally TASTE it. This juice is more annoying than its male counterpart and it comes in a fittingly gaudy bottle inside a horribly cheap box. Like all Dalis I know, it essentially smells cheap. If it were $1 more expensive, it would've been a major rip-off. Come to think of it, it probably is a rip-off at any price. I seldom give a thumbs down, but here goes...

This is the closest I've come to finding a love for an aquatic fragrance (and that's cheating because really, Laguna is more of a translucent powdery, fruity floral). Great for summer months, but best used sparingly. There is an interesting dry edge to this scent, which balances the composition nicely, but may be the source of polarised opinions. Or maybe it's the powdery iris?

I'm a fan of Dali's art and bought a 50ml Eau de Toilette for my twin sister as a present. I also bought a pen, so I can try and know what I'm giving her.

This perfume is a very-well composed, long-lasting scent that produces the same suprisingly strong notes hour after hour.
The main theme is floral-fruity which appears the other way round - fruity aquatic first then floral aquatic
(interesting combination!)
Its stability is in a way its strength as well as its weakness, depending on the preferance of the wearer.
I found it one-sided, in that it didn't alter or evolve much over time or when exposed to different temperatues.
Some of the sweetness subdued after an hour during leaving a more characteristic oriental-spicy bouquet with a hint of soft musk and woody cedar, the sweet-aquatic theme still going strong.
It's an uplifting, modern fragrance (despite its launch in 1991!) sweet and aquatic in character. Recommended for the summer.

It´s a mistake gender(IMHO): It smells unisex although in my opinion seems for men, very good fragrance for women, but better fragrance in a man, regular long-lasting, not overpower but very good sillage

Use this SPARINGLY -- it lasts and can be suffocating. Lots of citrus at first with heady iris and jasmine at its heart. Sandalwood and amber at the base give it some staying power. This is a very seductive fragrance that can become vulgar and cheap if used too heavily. If you like to walk through a light mist and go, Laguna is for you. If you like to soak all your pulse points, look elsewhere.

Very good scent! I liked it as well because it's very unisex in the sense that, at first, it's all flowers and fruits and aquatic notes (real aquatic, not like the ones that say they are but they aren't)and suddenly it changes to a much more masculine scent , and some of the basenotes even remided me of versace's dreamer that made me love it even more, the cedar atlas, tonka bean and patchouli here are prominent on the drydown as well but it's very well made and balanced. It's difficult to categoriza cause it's so strange, what with the notes changing constantly and all. For the people who have the skin chemistry for it, it's amazing, happily , i'm one of those! The longevity is very, very good. Cool bottle and box too.
