How Salvador Dali Dalissime Smells: Notes & Development

Salvador Dali Dalissime opens with Peach, Apricot, Pineapple and Raspberry — the first impression as it hits the skin.

The final act — the part that outlasts the working day — is Vanilla, Sandalwood, Musk, Amber and Tonka Bean.

Strip it back to the bones and the profile reads fruity, sweet, powdery, floral, woody — easy to place and easy to wear.
