Dalissime Salvador Dali for women

I have a mini bottle of Dalissime and I love it. The scent is sweet and so delicat. For me it's all about peaches, apricots and vanilla. So I decided that I need a big bottle. I bought it. But the scent is not the same... It is much more musky and powdery. I still like the fragrance, but not that much as the small size I have :(

I used to love this perfume when I was at university and I was glad when I recently bought a bottle and took a trip down memory lane.
This is a beautiful, unusual, floral fragrance which is soft, fruity and slightly sweet but not too sweet.
The bottle is gorgeous and worthy of anyone's dressing table and the perfume lasts all day. This is a lovely young fragrance which reminds me of lazy, hazy, summer days . The price of the fragrance does not affect the quality and it's a very unusual scent for the money.

This is a perfume that wakes to me so many emotions!
I used to like this very much when I was a student.
So I ordered it and I received it today.
Never did I feel so glad about a purchase, like the two Dalis I've bought lately, this one and Dalimania.
They remind me of my special studies (Art History) at the University, they remind me of my flatmate, she used to own them and I was wearing them too.

I don't agree that it's a romantic scent. I would define it as a very 'stylish' scent that reminds me of Museums, of class and elegance, of an eccentric and sophisticated person wearing it.
It's slightly medicinal before the dry down. I would say it's on the same vain as Liberte by Cacharel, IMHO at least, but it's more 'edgy' and more multidimentional. It's not a soft scent, in my opinion.
The dry down is ABSOLUTELY DEVINE on me! I ...ADORE IT!
Suitable for all ages and all hours.
It seems that this perfume...never ages!

The bottle and colour are very pretty, but unfortunately there's nothing too amazing inside.

It starts nice, powdery peach. But than it turns into peach jam and stays like that till it fades.

Not unpleasent, but boring and pointless.

This charming bottle deserved a better perfume.

a lot of peach and vanilla and some big floral notes. sweet, but not cloying. on the verge, but the sandalwood and musk keep it from being over-the-top sweet. a nice flattering daywear perfume for cooler days that is a compliment getter. lasting time for me; about 4 hours.

A peach and apricot cocktail anyone? Beautiful, and incredibly durable for an EDT. I love it. It's reasonably priced, and is sooooo sweet and morish! This is a scent that will make apricot/musk lovers very happy!

This was my favourite day-time perfume in the 90`s. Sweet, fun, summer, sun, peach, vanilla.

I love it! It's very optimistic, fresh, juicy and perfect! I can smell apricot, dandelion, rose, fig and sandalwood! Very Pretty!

A warm, fruity, feminine concoction with a powdery base. Nice but not very interesting. I'd wear it if I received it as a gift but I wouldn't buy it again.

IMPORTANT NOTE: I'm reviewing a new bottle that has pink liquid in a coral colored bottle vs. what's shown in the picture. Seeing others' positive comments leads me to believe that this has been reformulated for the worse.

Finally! The definitive citronella scent! I bought this on a friend's recommendation and I'm ducking her so I don't have to tell her what I think of it. This opens with a harsh sharp extremely artificial apricot and some citrus note that combines to form citronella (keep this in mind if you're ever in a swamp without DEET). At some point rose and peach appear but both seem unnatural and extremely cheap. The scent also has an oiliness that doesn't make much sense in an EDT.

This could easily be one of those deodorizers you buy to stick into your car's heater vents--it would be called Summer Frootz. I did try spraying it on a tester strip. In this context it smelled much better and a reasonable vanilla could be detected.

Mark Buxton was either working with sub-par ingredients or was having a very bad day. The price seems like a bargain but there are several pleasant fruit scents available at lower price points. Oh well, one more cute bottle for the island of lost smells.

Sillage: 1-2 feet
Durability: scrubbed at about 2 hours
Fabulosity: espresso from a gas station
Price to value ratio: poor

2/10

Miss this powdery peachy , flowery parfyme . a warm but innocent smell, sweet and delicate. perfect for everyday wear. the bottle is a stunning pice. love love:)

Peaches and roses that is what i smell in it! It was first fragrance i bought myself ever in a small EDP concentration (not common EDT). I still love it very much and recently bought a big 100ml bottle once again. I think that the smell has changed since before it was more "clear", now it is more powderly. BUT, still very nice.
I think this is also perfect as an everyday fragrance during spring-summer period.
AND you will be surprised if you try this at winter time! It smells also very good and not vulgar at all, unlike some summer scents when you use them during autumn-winter time.
An absolute HIT! and all-year-round perfume! I really enjoy it and all the others around me also!

Dalissime is berries, fun and joy! Bright and warm, perfect for cold winter and way too loud for spring and summer.

I know Salvador Dali perfumes,like Dali original,Purple lips,this one the lightest version ,but pleasant and suits for Christmass.It is peachy,but very light hint,orangy-and again,very light hint and rosy-very little drop of it.Altogether combination is o.k. for young girls and young in heart women.This is a day perfume,I think.

Dalissime is a wonderful scent and most suitable for the young at heart.
The frag is sweet, a little fruity and has a lovely vanilla note.
It suits any occasion and it will always be on my dresser.

It is a distinctive and happy fragrance. Quite a strong cocktail of peach and flowers that has a very good staying power. After a few hours it is still almost unchanged. Recommended!

Dalissime is a comfort scent.Come on, who does not like peaches?
This scent is naive,not complicated, pretty chemical - and still there is a certain attractiveness to it. It embraces you like a kitschy old shawl that you will be too embarrassed to wear in public but at home it`s your favorite accesoire.It`s good natured and cozy, and you can wear it any time of year.

I got this as a freebie sample with another perfume order. I must say, it was not terribly impressive.

It smells nice form the vial, all peach schnapps, but upon application to skin it loses its vim considerably. That, and its lack of staying power is its only downfall. Otherwise, it is a very inoffensive, pretty kind of scent.

If you still desperately want to smell like peach schnapps perhaps try applying actual peach schnapps to the pulse points. If your experiment doesn't work, then you always have the schnapps to console you. Just a thought.

I bought this blind, and I have to say, this is one of the fragrances where it didn't serve me well to go by the notes.

The fruits in the top notes were extraordinarily fleeting, and for a moment I detected lily of the valley, but then...the entire fragrance transformed into something of a bitter woody note. I have no idea what I'm smelling but it doesn't remind me of any of the notes I see listed.

Unfortunately, this fragrance was a dud for me.

:) it simply smells like peaches/apricots

the rest of the notes are minimal and powdery inthe first 15 minutes, than is really turns into exactly PEACHES&APRICOTS

cute and happy, though.

the bottle is an extra treat too, looks very nice

Dalissime is a love letter. A love letter written in scent. A love letter written with Violets Peach, Berries, Roses and Jasmine on a sandalwood parchment. Romantic Elegant and Refined. Dalissime was released in 1995 to celebrate the centenary of Gala's birth. It is said that behind every great man there is a woman. Gala Dali stood by Salvador in marriage and accompanied him through an extraordinary life.
May you receive many love letters in your life.

No, together with Laguna and Eau de Dali they are not my style. All the others are fine to FANTASTIC!!
:-)

i adore the dali bottles..if ony my body was that shape lol

anyhow,this perfume is certainly a journey thru a fruit orchard,sweet and girly.i think it ought not be worn by women over 30 years old

I absolutely love this fragrance, it really is 'my' smell. Though nobody ever notices it, the only (really) negative thing there is:(:(

EDIT: I allready have this one for a while now.. and my opinion changed slightly. Sniffed 'from the bottle' I get this very sweet peachy/apricot smell, though when sprayed on my skin, some kind of leafy smell comes through. There are no leafes or herbs in the notes, but it sure smells like that. I think that is wat makes it interesting for me though. But as I said earlier, the staying power isn't great. Therefore it can't become a signature fragrance or whatsoever... I also don't know if I would repurchase this one, since I don't wear it so often (even if claimed it was 'my smell' earlier). I'll give it another try in fall, or maybe at night.

Also, I don't see how this is a floral fruity fragrance...i am not getting any fruits.

i received a mini bottle of this as part of a swap...i don't know what to think of it..i smell alot of sandalwood i think? Not sure. This one may have to grow on me. I haven't let it fully develop yet though.

I love this scent.so so lovely and I want another bottel.yes sure

loove it! and has great staying power for an EDT,very fruity and fresh :-)

Got this when I was very young, but I still love it!

Fresh apricots, peaches and tangy strawberries! So fresh smelling, not at all sickening sweet like alot of fruity fragrances can turn out to be.

Absolutely wearable for anyone, totally unoffensive scent. Beautiful.

Very natural effect of the fruit - this is how to do 'fruity' the right way! - about two , three hours later the rose and sandalwood show up on my skin, .. Perfection. I'm thinking this is very 'sunny Spain' - and I absolutely love,love the bottle, odd and beautiful.

The best 'light' fruity , floral scent in my opinion so far.

I like Dahli perfumes, each of them can be called a "sign scent". Dalissime is expressive and too bit rosy. I think it's a musthave for Dahli perfumes' fans.

Caramelized peach with delicate flowers! There's something "clean", I don't know which note is, but I like it"

Pleasant, delicate, and very wearable. I smell fresh, juicy, just barely ripened apricot & peach. I can't spot out any raspberry or point out the flowers individually (at least at first), but they round out the fruits quite nicely...until the fruits are barely detectable. The sandalwood & vanilla make an early appearance on me. At the end is when I smell the lovely rose, but that's still the only flower I can pick out. The musk arrives shortly after the rose, a bit shy to my nose.

The entire fragrance is very soft and dainty...and barely sweet enough to taste, but pretty & enjoyable. I prefer this floral-fruity concoction over these modern sweet, fruit syrup perfumes I see and smell all over the place. It stays pretty close to my skin, but every now and then I (and even people around me) catch a bit of it in the breeze, as if to share itself with everyone. I could very easily make this an everyday scent (if I had a bottle). It also lasts a fairly long time on me (though it's not necessarily a strong perfume).

Dalissime was my first perfume ever. It was in 1995 and I was 20. There was a Salvador Dali exhibition in my city and I went to see it. I was overwhelmed and enchanted. For some reason, there was a nice scent in the museum halls. Few days later, I saw Dalissime in a boutique and the shape of the bottle attracted me, as I was under the spell of Dali. Then I smelled it...and it was the smell of the paintings and drawings, and more than that, the smell of Dali's abstractions and visions. I still don't know how this happened. I see many readers associate Dalissime with a paper or wet paper scent in the dry down, on the one hand, and on the other hand the exhibition was in June, and the air was filled with aroma from linden flowers, apricots, roses, cherries - maybe that's why?
Anyway, Dalissime was my first love and still is the best perfume fo me. It has the power to pull you through a labyrinthe, in the core of which is hidden an orgasmic pleasure. Unlike other perfumes, be them pyramidal, revolving or unidimensional, Dalissime is transgressive or metaphysical. The actual notes are unimportant for me, as I detect only a rain of rose petals and gold over crystal tables layed with the most delicious apricot, peach, passion fruit and grenadine jellys and a huge cup with vanilla icecream. I need to eat Dalissime - remember the end of that film The Perfume?

i just bought it ,i luv the fragrance n will buy in the future.It has a unique scent n it reminds me of being in a garden.Is also not that strong.

Great fragrance for summer! It is a very feminine and gentle fruity floral, nothing like lots of nowadays fruity summer fragrances, in which everything is too much, every note is exaggerated.

I love the freshness in Dalissime - not the lemon/citrusy kind of freshness, but very subtle freshness of florals in the morning or after rain.

Beautiful fragrance, artistic bottle, affordable price - very appealing overall.

Update: tried to wear it and couldn't, it turns too peachy on my skin, not a fan of peaches.

My partner LOVES this fragrance! He's given it the highest rating of everything else I've made him smell.

A beautiful fruity floral without the syrupy-sweetness and toxic super vanilla that most modern-day fruity florals consist of. I get peach, red berries, a touch of vanilla, and sandalwood with a slightly salty 'wet paper' smell. This last note sounds disturbing, but I think this might just be what keeps it from being too vanillic and too fruity.

Great lasting power (6+ hours) and very unique...I highly recommend!

in few words... try it! this is unique fragrance! :)

A beautiful fruity-vanilla scent with slightly smokey undertones. Very feminine and sweet, however, it reminds me more on summer days than on winter. Excellent lasting power, too.

If peach, in its original form of..fruit, if peach could be this juicy, creamy, delicious.. then i'd rather eaten dalissime..

Its all about peach, sandalwood and vanilla on my skin. Can't tell apart the floral notes. Its a romantic soft fragrance, non intrusive. Good syllage and staying power, to me feels like a scented body lotion. Perfect for casual or office wear.

In the group of fruity fragrances, Dalissime is one of my favorites. Its harmonious, truly warm, and attractive; without strident notes to say all people ¡ smell my strong perfume ¡¡¡ ouuuchhh¡¡¡ Its a distinctive fruity scent ... evident presence of peach and litchi are very funny sparkling taste -to me- in this perfume
I guess Dalissime its for ambitious and relaxing women

Entre las fragancias afrutadas, ésta es una de mis favoritas. Es armonioso, realmente cálido, y bastante llamativo -si te gusta esa característica-, sin ser agobiante o dejar una estela intensa y pesada de perfume por donde pases¡¡¡ ouchhh¡¡¡

No es un perfume del montón; por lo mismo, es una buena opción, si te gusta su aroma realmente, porque estoy casi segura que no le encontrarás comunmente regado por ahí en muchas mujeres :)

Sweet and delicate, but to my mind (nose?) a bizarre but quite attractive middle note that always makes me think 'paper' or 'sawdust' - must be lignin/vanillin or something like that.

Dalissime is one of my favourite fragrances from Salvador Dali (I have 5 of them). It is warm and soft, quite feminine. It's mostly flowers but has some fruitiness in it as well although it has a richer body than a typical summer scent.In my opinion it's perfect for autumn and winter, perhaps for those holiday parties?

welcome monique24 and thanks for the comment. :) it tells a lot. your comment is most appreciated especially because we are still working on feeding the perfumes base, so dalissime is still without description. (coming soon)
