Dalimix

Salvador Dali · 1996

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Salvador Dali Dalimix is a unisex scent that pairs a fresh, citrusy opening with sweet fruit over a green, woody chypre base; it has been discontinued. Melon, mandarin orange and peach give the top a juicy, fresh start. In the heart, cyclamen, rose and reseda add a soft floral layer. The raspberry sweetness in the base is balanced by oakmoss, sandalwood and cedar, so the scent stays green and woody rather than turning into a sugary fruit note. Longevity and sillage are rated moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, and daily wear, leisure and business settings come up most. Voters lean towards feminine, though a fair share also read it as masculine. Elizabeth Arden Sunflowers and Salvador Dali Dalimix Black have a close profile.
