Well balanced. It is sweet in an expensive way.
This smells really good. Creamy from the milk and sweet from the coconut and vanilla. A great summer fragrance and perhaps maybe gourmand enough for fall and winter. Yum...I have to admit I like it!
very sweet candyish fragrance but in a good way. Not boring and cloying like todays sweet fragrances. i think, milk gives the creamy tone of perfume.
As a Dali fan in the 90`s, I had to buy this one in 2000. I like it as a more grown up version of Dalissime. More spices and deeper scent.
A good fragrnace but it doesn´t last at all. I know it suppose to be vibrant and changing, but at least on me after i spray it on it is sweet first and then just fresh and then dissapeares. Expected it to be better, but still like it. NB! Try this on your skin, cause it might smell completly different on a tester paper!!!
At first I was fascinated by the bottle, back in 1999.
So many shapes and two colors ( my bottle had two colors red and a little yellow) it looked odd but very interesting.
I really believed that it was going to be elegant, mysterious, original and delicate.
To my surprise it was Very sweet and peachy. It was not what I expected it was more playful then elegant, but it was indeed delicate and original, it did not smell like anything I ever tried.
I still like it! :)
I bought a pen unsniffed due to loads of positive reviews espacially on coconut note. Disappointed. On me it smells cloying, sickly sweet with loads of peach. Very fruity gourmand I must say. The fruit notes are not fresh nor juicy, just round and sugary like fruit flavored syrup. Coconut here is not tropical beach-ish but heavy. Not for me since I'm not really in to sweet, cloudy, fruit flavored milkshake kind of scent with no edge. I had to give it to my sister, a gourmand lover. She loves it.
Well, I guess perfume choice is subjective. I do believe it's heavenly for gourmand lovers.
OH GOD, I'm afraid that I might get diabetes just from sniffing this. It opens with burst of lemony sugar, followed by burst of fruity sugar, then there is sugar dipped in milk. At the heart it goes to "Bounty" like smell and I'm yet again afraid of the diabetes.
Why is this oriental? It's more a fruity gourmand (I won't use "floral" as there, on my skin, are no flowers at all).
No worries, I'm not saying it's bad, but it's very sweet, for me - too much, but for one it might be very, very good. And a down side is that this reminds me of Flowerbomb as it turned out to be Sugarbomb instead of having anything to do with flowers.
very very very sweeet ,but I like it.Is the only sweet perfume that I really love.I feel very good when I were this perfume and the lasting power is extraordinary,lasts for hours.The bottle is very interesting too.
Ah, the smell of my first love... :) Pleasant memories for me, I still love this really gourmand smell...
Massive trail of gourmand sillage! I can smell where I've been, but I can't smell it on my wrist. The fragrance didn't seem to last long on me, and there was a slightly bitter woody note left on my skin. I'm not sure what to make of the scent. It's possible it would be better in cold weather than in warm.
coconut night fantasia
I waited long to find a scent like this, sharp coconut,orange,peach,jasmine, a bit of iris,vanila,rose,milk,etc.
I expected some sorth of lighter Angel.It's far from that!
Dalimania is a very sensual perfume, very intimate. It doesn't smell foody, and it gives you the sensation that something acute is going on on those notes you smell. The red colour of the bottle is right for it. It makes you think of this colour even without looking at the bottle.
Ok, enough with the good part.
The bad part is that this little marvel is, unfortunately, a skin scent. It goes a bit stronger in the first 15 minutes, than it fades so fast it makes your nose spin trying to smell it again. :))
Sory. It really lasts very little.
P.S.-it has absolutely nothing to do with Dalissime, though the shape of the bottles is the same.
This fragrance is inspired by Fiesta- a Spanish street festival/party. At the beginning of the street party you sample patisserie, chocolate and sangria. Then you begin to dance finding the one you adore. A sense of euphoria as your bond strengthens. Colours spike from the depths of passion. Primal eruptions fan the fires of desire. You have the mania, Dalimania.
Had it about 10 years ago. Got it as a present from a boy-friend. Was dissapointed at first as I was expecting to receive classic floral Dali parfum which I "ordered". Didn't like it at all at first sniff, as I had never liked sweet scents before. After trying it on, I liked it very much though! Sweet and really warming in cold weather. But unfortunately sometimes I noticed I had headaches the time I wore it. So, not exactly "my" perfume. But I can recommend it for those who like sweet oriental fragrances for cold season, just don't overdo it, it's quite strong and long-lasting.
Dalimania starts out with a fairly sweet and hard-hitting fruity note of apricot. that after a few minutes starts to separate into orange and peach develops. The overall mixture is sweet with a sour kick.
Floral notes start developing while the peachy aroma is still dominant. The mixture reminds me of the fresh and somewhat sharp and lily of the valley smell mixed with lots of fruit. I have to the say, the fruity dominance masks most of the floral notes throughout and even seep into the base notes.
The floral essences simply tone down the fruit and add some depth, thus the olfactory equivalent would be like smelling a single flower amongst lots of overripe fruit. There’s a fair amount of sillage which is by no means overpowering.
Halfway through the middle notes, the fragrance develops a creamy edge with a slight peachy tinge to it. There’s definitely a milk note and the smell of raw coconut milk) that gives Dalimania a sort of cloudiness mixed with a subtle and non-foody vanilla aroma.
The drydown is a whisper of fruit within a milky, creamy oriental base that will stay close to the skin and last till about 8 – 9 hours.
Dalimania remains a staple when I’m looking for a rich, sweet exotic fruity floral fragrance with an oriental streak –a very ‘nineties’ thing and typical of the decade. Recommended.
Very simple sweet scent, not heavy at all but not lasting either. I can smell it only when I sniff my wrist, otherwise - undetectable for my nose. I wouldn't mind it for free or at a very reasonable price, otherwise - wouldn't buy it. The bottle is beautiful though and by the way - warm milky vanilla is surprisingly pleasant in the dry down.
I can feel peach, blackberry and coconut in this fragrance. This fragrance is very warm and sweet, even sickly sweet, that is why I don't like it.
I'm in love with Dalimania!
I bought it barely sniffed but thanks to the reviews my purchase was a full hit.
After all, I'm a gourmand scents hunter and this one is exactly what I like - a yummy fragrance! It smells mostly like fig jam (as mentioned), and other components - vanilla, musk, peach, caramel and softening milk. What a lovely composition!
The staying power is impressive, having in mind the price. I'd catch its smell 8-9 hours after spraying it.
Not strong or heavy.
Sweet and close to skin, so it doesn't annoy people around you.
I don't think it's a sweeter version of Dalissime. The bottles are similar, but the scents are quite different. Dalimania smells a little "gourmand" for me, and Dalissime is sugary, peachy, but clean, not "eatable" :)
Sweet but with a twist...the coconut in this perfume is light enough that it doesn't smell like sun-tan lotion, but makes you notice it. Kind of a hard thing to do (IMO) as coconut usually drowns out all other notes and makes a perfume seem juvenile...but not this bad boy! I'm glad I tried this one. The dry down reminds me SOOOO much of Burberry Brit Red, and I already have that one, so I don't think I will be purchasing this one.
For those of you who wanted to like BBR but could not stand the rhubarb note, you may want to give this one a go.
sweet is right, after i sprayed this the first time, one of my apartment mates who walked into the kitchen (my room is next to the kitchen) asked me whether i was making cinnamon rolls. :) i haven't really had time to study the fragrance yet though, so this post will receive an update soon.
Ok at first, but after a few minutes on me it smelled mainly of boiled sweets - jam rather than fruit, and not attractive at all
I love this one. Not like other oriental parfumes that can be to heavy.
I always get stopped on the streets by people asking about this parfume.
It is a sweet, warm, very female scent, work best at nights.
Sadly, i'ts out of production, at least in sweden.
Very, very sweet, like sugared fruits or orange marmelade.
