Sea & Sun in Cadaques by Salvador Dali

For: women Designer: Salvador Dali Olfactive Group: Floral Aquatic

Cadaques is a small town in Costa Brava (north-eastern part of Catalonia, Spain) in which Salvador Dali enjoyed staying. Sea & Sun in Cadaques is fresh transparent fragrance based on harmony of fruits, flowers and aquatic notes. The fragrance opens with fruity notes of kumquat, apricot and black currant. The heart reveals flowers – freesia, lotus and water lily. The composition ends with woodsy notes, musk and amber. The fragrance was created by Michel Almairac in 2006.

This smells so fresh and very natural. This scent is so unique. I have never smelled anything like it. Overall it is a very well balanced pefume. Mildy sweet, citrusy and aquatic, I like it. ;'D And it indeed reminds me of walking along the beach and breathing in the aroma of the surf and salty air. This doesn't resemble Light Blue at all, IMHO. Can't fathom the comparison between the two. This perfume is ideal for the warmer months. ;')

Edit: I actually do smell the chlorine like scent that another reviewer mentioned. o.0 This smells okay but is a little too light for my tastes.

For all those women searching for a "salty" fragrance... This one its a success! -at least on my skin :D -

Its a lovely, feminine, and sensuous fragrance in my opinion... not for use at beach... Its for go to every place "with" the beach on the skin.

Its really beautiful and shining.

I agree with the previous comments. This fragrance is like an ode to summer. Fresh but subtle, aquatic and has something that 'grabs' your nose quickly. But it has nothing to do with 'Light Blue', imo. As Trvevil already said, it truly shares some similarities with Eau de Rubylips (I would also add Shiseido Zen Summer), but while EdR is like standing in the shade and hiding from the first (not very warm), windy spring sun, Sea & Sun in Cadaques - is like walking along the seashore on a sunny and breezy summer day. For me the latter is solely about summer. Indeed it's like the sea and sun in this beautiful bottle: probably the gentle flowers give this feeling of water, and the juicy apricot (which is very noticeable here) reflects sunny mood. I've never been to Cadaques, but looking at photos I imagine, that there is something like what you can smell from the bottle.

Try it if you like fresh aquatics scents, apricots, carefree summer and S.Dali;)

I'm with Trevil on this one--quite similar to D&G Light Blue, but in my opinion, not as well done and definitely not as long-lasting.
The start is very beachy/suntan lotion-y which is fun--especially in the dead of winter. As it warms up I'm getting a sort of apricot jelly note, which is not bad, but not what I am looking for in a summer scent either.
While this is not a future purchase for me, I do think that for those who love fruity/fresh/beachy scents, this should go on your to-try list.

This one smells like cheaper version of Light Blue on me- it has cedar in it in very large amount (well, at least on me).
Waterlily and lotus- a true aquatic fragrance, but why they put cedar in it almost all the time? Sea and Sun in Cadaques also has similarities with Eau de Rubylips. Well.. not my cup of tea.
However it stays quite long and has very adorable bottle. I like the color and minimalistic design

If you want to feel the summer breeze and the waves that touch your finger toes...THIS is the right fragrance.At first its only like a gentle breeze because of the apricots and the black currant that gives a touch of something intriguing.After a while I smell the water lily which fulfils the feeling of freshness and the lotus gives an exotic note,and finally the cedar brings something unexpected and sunny.When i put on this perfume i am dreaming nothing but of the perfect summer vacation on an island and the sand and wind in my hair.It is so light but yet with presence.And it si very delicate,you can feel it only if you're close to the skin of the person.

Thanks to the lovely nathalieZ I was able to aquire this beauty in a swap. This is the type of summer scent that I LOVE!! At first spray it is very aquatic (my favorite type of scent), and the drydown is wonderfully warm. I really can't stop sniffing my wrists when I'm wearing this one. Now for the downside...I am unable to find this ANYWHERE in the US:(

So fresh this fragrance. Either the apricot or kumquat -not sure which, maybe both- stay through to the drydown, and it still manages to be softly floral. It's wonderful for spring and summer.

I wanted to come back and edit this review. I really loved this one at first, but now a note is really bothering me. I use to get this beautiful ocean scent, and now I get the smell of a pool with too much chlorine in it. I would like to add my husband likes this one on me though and doesn't get the chlorine note.
