Salvador Dalí Salvador Dali Pour Homme is an Eau de Toilette launched in 1987, created by Thierry Wasser. Salvador Dali Pour Homme opens with Anise, Bergamot, Lemon, and Lavender, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Geranium, Lily of the Valley, and Heliotrope, and dries down to a base of Amber, Cedar, Sandalwood, and Vetiver. Salvador Dalí's Salvador Dali Pour Homme carries an Acquired verdict, a green-led wear.

A truly polarising beast, Salvador Dali Pour Homme is a cult classic for collectors and those who yearn for raw, unapologetic 80s masculinity. It's a dark, complex journey, praised as a masterpiece by some and likened to "Frankenstein's ball sack" by others. Definitely not for the faint of heart, or nose.

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.

Formal

Its immense sillage and uncompromising, dark character make it unsuitable for office wear or casual daytime outings, where it risks offending. The mysterious and intense profile, however, makes it highly appealing for dates or formal evening events where you wish to make a powerful, memorable statement.

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.

About

Salvador Dali Pour Homme plunges you into a shadowy forest, opening with a bold, almost medicinal hit of anise and herbaceous notes like basil and clary sage, brightened momentarily by a whisper of citrus. This quickly deepens into a complex heart, where damp, earthy oakmoss and patchouli mingle with woody cedar and sandalwood. A subtle floral hint of jasmine and geranium peeks through, before settling into a rich, dark base of resinous amber and a touch of vanilla, maintaining its intense, brooding character throughout.
