Salvador Dalí Laguna is an Eau de Toilette launched in 1991, created by Mark Buxton. Laguna opens with Lemon, Grapefruit, Mandarin, and Galbanum, settles into a heart of Rosewood, Rose, Jasmine, and Iris, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Cedar, and Sandalwood. Salvador Dalí's Laguna carries a Favourite verdict, a sweet-led wear.

This 90s cult classic is a divisive little number. For some, it's a nostalgic trip to a creamy, fruity paradise; for others, a harsh, synthetic nightmare. Definitely not a blind buy unless you thrive on controversy.

Scent Profile

Composition

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.

Its moderate sillage and skin-scent dry down make it suitable for casual wear or even a lighter office application. The fruity-tropical accords are perfect for relaxed settings, though its unique, sometimes polarising character might be too much for formal events.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

Other declarable allergens

  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Imagine a vibrant citrus blast of lemon and pineapple, softened by the lush sweetness of peach and plum. This zesty opening then mellows into a creamy heart of jasmine and lily-of-the-valley, all underpinned by a surprisingly warm, almost gourmand base of coconut, vanilla, and sandalwood. There's a persistent, subtle woody and powdery character throughout, keeping it from becoming a pure fruit cocktail.
