by Salvador Dali
Eau de Dali opens with a bright, zingy citrus surge—bergamot, grapefruit, lemon, and pineapple—giving it a fresh, slightly sweet, and airy feel. This burst quickly mellows into a soft, powdery floral heart dominated by rose, iris, and jasmine, evoking vintage cosmetics or freshly laundered cotton, with a subtle soapy finesse. The dry down reveals a delicate woody base of sandalwood, cedar, amber, and vanilla, lending a comforting, creamy warmth that softens the freshness without adding heaviness. It wears close to the skin, offering moderate projection and a clean, innocent character that some describe as timeless, elegant, and uniquely floral-green. The longevity is modest, lasting through a full daytime wear, with many noting it fades quickly, especially on dry skin. It’s universally viewed as a delicate, summery scent built for spring and early summer, especially suited for daytime use, blending in gracefully with casual or office wear. Despite its light profile, it carries a surprisingly nostalgic, vintage aesthetic, reminiscent of 1990s elegance.
