Dalissime (1994)
by Salvador Dali

This is an unbelievably dusty apricot/peach scent.

I see entering an unused room in your old maid aunts home & smelling peach, not fresh, but peach non the less. You open an old drawer & in it you find, a peach & sandalwood body spray from the 70s, old desiccated flowers tied together with a rotting brown velvet ribbon & a long thin box of sandalwood incense. You try to pick the flowers up & they explode into dust. You brush aside the dust & there are love letters. Heavy old paper, browned at the edges, one of the envelopes has a tea bag in it. You bring it to your nose. It's gone off but you still find it compelling. You sniff it again & again lost in dreams. What? Someone is calling you? You grab the body spray & in your rush to shove it back into the drawer you spray it on you hands. All through the day the experience haunts you every time you lift your hands to your face.

So on me it went 2 minutes of bright top totes, dusty getting dustier for ever, & then the peachy apricot comes back at the very end.
Very interesting but not something I would want to smell like, today anyway.
It lasted for 20 hours.

Sweet but yes, rather older, "dusty" smelling fragrance.
Apricot syrup + something peppery/herbal. I think I like it.

The distinctive note in this fragrance is apricot, there is not a heavy vanilla tone to knock out the fruit scents and make the whole thing smell "sticky". This is good, because the sandalwood base makes it an "older" smelling fragrance. The packaging is the treat here, but a good summer fragrance.

Happiness in a bottle! Everytime i use this it reminds me of when i was younger and of happy places and happy thoughts!... now more seriously, it's a fresh fruity-floral and sort of aquatic scent that it's not at all sweet. The peach is subdued here with more prominent raspberries and apricots and blackcurrants on the top notes and the heart of it it's flowery (what i call fresh mornign rose blossoms and a fresher lily of the valley)but not heady , and the drydown is very comfy and still very "happy". Thanks for not making the vanilla very prominent here on the basenotes , as it would have ruined the whole fresh ambience here. The sandalwood gives it a final kick that, after a couple of hours it's amazingly still fresh. Very cool bottle and box! A winner!
