Purplelight

Purplelight by Salvador Dali is a highly divisive, delicately structured fragrance centered around a fresh, green-lilac profile with notable cherry blossom and bamboo notes. It opens with a bright, aqueous green character that some perceive as watery, thin, or even unpleasantly vegetal—some comparing it to cut grass, wet bamboo shoots, or even fish-like tones. Yet others describe it as exceptionally realistic, capturing the evanescent beauty of blooming lilacs and springtime foliage. The scent evolves into a transparent, airy composition with a subtle almond-like nuance in the drydown, adding complexity without sweetness. Despite its layered quality, the perfume is notoriously weak in sillage and longevity, requiring reapplication and close proximity to be discerned. It is best suited for warm spring and summer days, offering a quiet, intimate, day-time experience that feels more like a personal aura than a bold statement.
