Salvador Dalí Sea & Sun in Cadaques is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2006, created by Michel Almairac. Sea & Sun in Cadaques opens with Kumquat, Apricot, and Blackcurrant, settles into a heart of Water Lily, Freesia, and Lotus, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, and Cedar. Salvador Dalí's Sea & Sun in Cadaques carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

This fragrance is a truly divisive aquatic-fruity. Whilst some rave about its Mediterranean summer vibe, others are convinced they've got a bad bottle, smelling anything from celery to sick. Definitely 'try before you buy' territory.

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Office

Its generally light performance and fresh, aquatic-fruity profile make it perfect for casual summer wear and sport. It would be an acceptable, though not outstanding, choice for the office, but its playful nature isn't suited for formal events or serious date nights.

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.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

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 splash of kumquat and juicy blackcurrant, tempered by the delicate softness of apricot. This fruity opening quickly dissolves into a serene aquatic heart of lotus and water lily, evoking a cool sea breeze. As it settles, a clean musk and subtle cedar provide a gentle, comforting dry-down.
