Salvador Dalí Dali is a Parfum launched in 1983, created by Alberto Morillas. Dali opens with Bergamot, Clove, and Incense, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, and Mimosa, and dries down to a base of Musk, Sandalwood, Patchouli, and Oakmoss. Salvador Dalí's Dali carries an Acquired verdict, a floral-led wear.

This is a seriously polarising scent: some find it a sexy, boundary-pushing masterpiece, while others are put off by its intensity. It's a grand, dramatic fragrance strictly for those who dare to be different and shun anything remotely 'inoffensive'.

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

Dali Parfum plunges you into a darkly sensual experience, opening with a bold, almost ecclesiastical waft of incense and sharp clove, softened slightly by bergamot's zest. As it evolves, a rich bouquet of rose, jasmine, and mimosa emerges, lending a heady, powdery floral heart. The base settles into a deeply woody and earthy chypre, with an undeniable oakmoss presence alongside warm sandalwood, mysterious patchouli, and a subtle musk, creating a profound, enduring aroma.
