Salvador Dali Pour Homme Salvador Dali for men

very, very dark fragrance,like a poisonous flowers and fuel. excellent longevity,10 hours+ on my pale skin with good sillage.i adore this fragrance!

Great, smoky, mistical and elegant fragrance, and it doesn't smell, like grandpas scents (Santos, Kouros, Paco Rabanne PH etc.). Lasts ages and love it.
We are over 15 years together... :)

This smells like the crawl space in the apartment building I grew up in, where stray cats urinated and a homeless man once lived. It's one of the most offensive man-made odors of all time, after bodily ones and possibly even as awful.

I really love it!

I feel like wearing Westwood's Boudoir, but in a male version!
Definitely outstanding and perfect, if you're not so much into that one millions, hugo bosses and joops on the market.

I got much tattoos all over my body, i'm young, i love to wear nice clothes and this DALI fits in to all that.

Once again...love.

a wilder version of Van Cleef & Arpels pour Homme , darker , more animalic . Very nice and powerful ...

I wore this in the late 80's... used up the bottle and hadn't smelled it since, so, after receiving a new bottle today, it triggered such fine memories! Yet, it is odd to smell it now- in a new perspective. It has the odor of a head shop- the incense-rack that always perfumes them. It's the patchouli-sandalwood combo... here, it is complex and artful with a soulful orchestra of other notes for accompaniment. I will always love this fragrance as it was my signature for those fine years I had right after high school.

Unfortunately, I'm quite sure that it has been reformulated :(
First, the package is changed - the box and the spray.
And the fragrance, althought the inital blast is the same but it soon becomes "tamed".
I don't mean it's bad but it's not that black demon is used to be, it's a neat vampire now (who drinks true blood :)

Bought this for my boyfriend. It is very masculine, different and mysterious. Love it.

WARNING: I have not sampled this one but have been very tempted to do so. I read some reviews again the other day and I'm glad I did not. One BN reviewer pointed out that the castoreum note is very strong in this one (which can have a "blood"-like quality, as some have said about SDPH). If you don't know what castoreum smells like, if it's too strong it can be astringent and also "dirty." One Man Show, Yatagan, KL Homme, and Antaeus (vintage, at least) have clear castoreum notes, so if you've tried them you may have an idea about what to expect from SDPH. My guess is you get some "smokey" lavender, such as one finds in many 80s men's fragrances (such as the original Francesco Smalto one), and then there's strong castoreum in the base, which could be quite similar to KL Homme, from the note pyramid. I might like this one, but I have a strong feeling I'd have to dilute it at least 25% in order to get there !

This is just too 'old school' for me , Perhaps it the oakmoss and dirty lavender in the fragrance I just dont know . I like the bottle design and only bought this fragrance based on Dali's involvement with Amanda lear . I also get the smell of 'blood' from this but I put it down to the oakmoss and something that smells slightly metallic in the composition .

Everyone speaks well of this perfume disendo he is "shady", "Evil", etc ... for me he has nothing, it's just a old school very old and too bad.

People associated the scent of dark matter and now this post to "horror stories" about him ... this is a joke because he has none, does not smell something dead or anything, just a strong perfume, old and bad.

When I smell it what comes in mind is an old house inhabited by an elderly couple where the grandfather (over 75 years old) uses this scent and is lonely because of the scent that is very bad.

There is no "black aura" is not a perfume "bizarre" or "dark" or "evil" as people say, it's just a woody floral scent very dirty, strong, dry, old and really bad.

SDpH is a great DD (dirty / dark) fragrance but to me it sounds like a good remix version of Kouros. Am I missing something?

Rating: 7/10 (it smells good, anyway)

Ahhh Dali! A masterpiece! A legend! A fragrance that will go down in history! That fateful day I discovered this precious perfume is one that i will always remember. I was on a train in the Asian country-side, on a trip with my dear friend Emilio. My name, by the way is Hannratio. Not that it matters, its beside the point. But Emilio and I were meeting our old chum Carlos.
While we were on board, travelling late one night, a darkness fell over the carriage we were in. Only the twinkling stars were visible from the windows. Emilio, Carlos and I, Hannratio, huddled in the corner of the carriage. We heard a horrible shuffling noise coming towards us. We looked up, squinting our eyes, and each of us gasped one after the other. Gasp. Gasp. Gasp. There stood a man, in a black hooded cloak.
He held out a wrinkly hand and pointed to each of us, muttering in a strange language that none of us could understand. Or so I thought. But all of a sudden, Emilio began speaking back, 'OHH MA LA CHA CHA RUUF JAJGARLLII OKEY DOKEY.' I had no idea what she said, apart from okey dokey, but then the most unusual smell drifted under my nose. It was a mixture of dead animals, such as pigeons, alpacas and an assortment of small rodents which were all piled on top of each other in a bucket. next was the scent of not 23, not 25, but 24 rotten eggs, to be exact. also, it also had a hint of rubbish and other human waste. then came the dirty smell of old dead bodies that have been rotting for centuries so that only bones are left. finally, a touch of daffodils, and it was complete. i was all at once intoxicated. Emilio, knowing what the hooded figure, who had now disappeared into a wisp of smoke, had told him, picked up a round perfume bottlethe colour of diarhoea with lips on top, and scooped all the fragarance left in the air into the bottle. I recommend Salvador Dali if you like to smell. But I never said smell nice.

I will blend Salvador with Demeter Humidor to create an entirely different fragrance effect. The dry-down becomes leathery and rich with a hint of fresh cigar tobacco aroma. Very nice. Salvador is a unique EDT for sure, but is a very well blended fragrance. Wearing a fragrance, much like everything else is an individual experience. What I like may not sit well with someone else, but that's what makes it what it is.

soo altho its a different but unique smell, my friend hannah wears it and suits her personality very well, its a very dirty off smell that does catch pplz attentions, it is a very stale grandpa like smell.... for ppl who just dnt care what people think, id say its not a smell 4 every day just special occasions like work functions, birthdays or just hanging with the girls..........not recomended 4 mature ppl tho

Just got my bottle of Salvador Dali, and I must say that this is a very fine blend. It starts off a bit eccentrically, (much like it's namesake), but then gives way to the beautifully rich leather and woody notes that creates an exciting and relaxing feel at the same time. Very well done.

To me this is a pure winter scent.I only wear this on very cold days and it makes mw feel warm and relaxed.
The lasting power is amazing,at least 10 hours.
Definately not for the faint hearted or the teenage market.
I get many compliments when wearing this.Think it goes well with dark clothes and a candlelight romantic dinner.I agree with a previous reviewer who compares it with Jaques Bogart's Witness which I also love for winter and has similar notes and stayind power. in my opinion a good 9 out of 10 for quality and strength but an acquired taste for some who prefer subtler fragrances..

I wore this as a youngster back in late 80ies/ early 90ies. While I have always been in trigued by Dali's work, I did not quite understand the complexity of it (just like I did not get Prince's music initially). Today this would be entirely different as I love heavier scents now.
This is not for the faint hearted for it smells a bit of an older, greasy, grimey, if not a bit slimey, older man that teters on the line between utter class and pure dirrty sex.
There is a bit of old church smell, leather seats in an old train, yet there is also an old attitc scent that screams to be discovered.
All those fantasy impressions are underlined and framed by this strong peppery, herebaceous, bittersweet green notes.

You can see it is not a scent for the faint hearted! An odyssey through space, time and scents.

What "Thriller" is in the music video world, this is the olfactory equivalent! Great for Halloween!

Genius!

It is over a year since I first reviewed this fragrance and now that I actually own it, I thought it was time to revisit it, being the great piece of art that it is.

Like the man himself, this is an eccentric fragrance and one that is the olfactory equivalent of Dali jumping up and down in public to get attention. It is no "shrinking violet" (it is rather more like a narcissus).

Like Dali, it walks the line between good taste and crudity (or should I say "crudite" -possibly spontaneously transforming into a fried egg).

It is both dirty and sweet in its opening: like a dark latrine pit into which someone has poured a sack of lime and into which several small animals may have fallen to their deaths. Throughout its early life, there is a dirtiness which is slightly veiled by a sweet spiciness. There is also at the same time, a bitter aspect - almost like cloves are present (even though no cloves are listed as ingredients).

After about an hour (or slightly longer or shorter depending on whether your watch has gone all floppy and has ants crawling all over it) this fragrance has toned down a little, but is still dark and brooding.

There is a similarity with Witness by Jacques Bogart, but it is only slight. this fragrance has excellent sillage and longevity.

Dali PH is an excellent dark, mysterious, and almost off-putting scent.

Definitely a scent to sniff for anyone who considers themselves as (or wants to project the image of being) "dark & mysterious."

My only complaint is that the smoky woods and tar like note of the leather accord in the base can become a bit overpowering and synthetically irksome as the dry down progresses. This prevents me from wearing the scent more regularly. Even so, there are occasions (rock concerts!) when nothing would be more appropriate than Dali PH. It is truly one of the most unique scents out there and anyone who considers themselves a perfume enthusiast should endeavor to seek this out and give it a sniff.

If you're looking for something with a very similar vibe that is a bit more refined and higher quality, although has less of the tar and smoky notes, check out Amouage Memoir Man. Memoir Man not only shares a lot of the same notes but definitely shares a similar vibe and evokes similar mental images and emotions, without any of the ostensibly synthetic qualities that Dali PH has. As a result, I find it much more wearable than the Dali.

Dali Pour Homme is very romantic and sexy and sophisticated. A man wearing this is confident, articulate, and very tasteful. It is not for the young and inexperienced. This scent is intoxicating and mysterious. Very inviting and if you accept the challenge it is playful. It is really a men's cologne and I love to steal a spritz for myself late at night when he is away. The longing and lust present in this fragrance are good company...

this fragance is a child of the 80's, heady, sexy, dirty, animal, bohemian and just a bit slutty, i got this one long ago for my couple, but he didnt appreciate the femenine side of Dali, so when the days are rainy and grey i give it a go, and i get plenty of compliments; a true unisex, even thought it wasnt intended that way.

The intensity of this scent was to meet Salvador's longing for scent to evoke memory. That it does. The richly complex bouffe containing around 120 different notes is sure to command recall and make new memories every time it is worn. In a market of simple vague transparent male scents this masterfully delivers a prolonged adventure into olfactory bliss. Tough intro for baby noses but with a patient introduction it is inevitably satisfying on the deepest level.

I got nostalgic and bought a bottle of this quite heavy 80th scent. I should not have done that. Outdated, oldfashion, screamy horsstablesmelly and not for the modern man.

The bottle is nice though.

I am very pleased to have this wonderful fragrance in my collection! Salvador Dali Pour Homme is without a doubt a fragrance for special occasions. It is also wearable for most evening outings if applied in moderation (a maximum of 2 sprays would be the recommended dosage). This is quite possibly the darkest selection in my collection, and while I would not hesitate to wear it for most evening outings (it is a bit too heavy for hot summer usage), however it is most likely not an office or casual daily usage scent. It is a difficult to describe fragrance, and while heavy and most certainly a dark fragrance, if you enjoy heavy orientals like I do, you will love this one! In summary, I would describe Salvador Dali Pour Homme as a very unique, heavy oriental fragrance with strong sillage and excellent longevity, which is very wearable when applied judiciously. The bottle is primo and in true Dali form!

I tried this today. I told the guy the fragrances I liked and he suggested it. To me this is similar to Kouros in many ways, which I like very much. It's woody, spicy, peppery. I don't know about the Nosferatu references, but if we have to have him in the picture I would say it's Nosferatu playing a banjo which is spontaneously turning into a leather shoe. Lasts very well!

.....IF U LIKE THE ATMOSPHERE OF OLD THEATER....GOING FOR A TRIP TO THE OLD TEMPELS.....LIKE A BREATH OF ORIENT....IT IS THE SCENT FOR U.... big class!!!!!!!!! very very masculine with a strong leather power......AMAYZING EUROPE SCENT... ...defenetly unforgettable

this is the most romantic fragrance ever

Arid and thirsty scent, to me it smells like a stone warmed by the sun.True the mentioned "Nosferatu Accord" lol, dark and dry...

hmmm it's very strange - definityly not for ppl who like simple & fresh scents... i'm still trying this but our relationship is very difficult

it really has sth disturbing... someone told that it's nosferatu scent - i can agree with it ;]

after some try of this scent:

i know that dali was a great painter. but dali pour homme really smells like urine... it's great fragrance for haloween when you are in nosferatu/dracula/wearwolf/zombie/canniball/ costium ;]

this one is scary. bottle is like from nightmare (pregnant bottel with big lips) and so is the scent... to use this should be one of the trap in "saw" movie.... " smell or die - make your choice"

game over

p.s. i back to this scent and now i find it interesting. still don't like it but it's very complex scent

This one reminds me of Zino and indeed it has VERY similar top-, heart- and basenotes. However Dali is much stronger and potent. It has big 80's sillage (it's easy to overdose it) and it is amazingly longlasting. One thing I am sure of - it's not for fresh scents lovers. It's dark and heavy. Smells a little like blood, like a vampire breath :-) So you have to be careful using this...

A dirty lavender, it's very masculine and European. Sexy and musky with lots of wood.

I love it and it's part of my collection of manly, dirty, sexy perfumes.

Lasts all day with good sillage. Works well in heat for me; although I'm unsure if others who aren't perfume-savvy would appreciate this wonderful fragrance.


Not recommended for those who like to smell 'fresh' and clean.
