Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - de Dali
This one's a head-scratcher. Some find it a beautifully unique, elegant experience, while others get bug spray and disappointment. It might be a vintage gem for you, or it might just remind you of old Nivea cream. Definitely not a safe blind buy.

Our Verdict - Pierre de Velay No. 16
This one's a stunner, mates. Forget boring citrus - it's a fruity floral masterpiece that's pure addictive joy. It's a shame it's discontinued, because it nails that sweet spot between playful and sophisticated like no other. Get your hands on it if you can.

Season and Occasion Fit

de Dali

Seasons

Best For:
Spring
Also Works:
Summer Autumn

A spring fragrance - light, bright, made for the warmer turn of the year.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport

Its generally light projection and clean, fresh accords make it suitable for office and casual wear, akin to a 'fresh out of the shower' scent. However, its vintage, powdery character and lack of strong sillage limit its suitability for formal events or energetic activities.
