Salvador Dali Laguna

A lovely, fresh start, but with enough complexity and depth to satisfy those of us who love heavy, heady perfumes.

Salvador Dali Laguna is great summer of day wear scent.

I'm a fan of Dali's art and bought a 50ml Eau de Toilette for my twin sister as a present. I also bought a pen, so I can try and know what I'm giving her.

This perfume is a very-well composed, long-lasting scent that produces the same suprisingly strong notes hour after hour.

The main theme is floral-fruity which appears the other way round - fruity aquatic first then floral aquatic (interesting combination!)

Its stability is in a way its strength as well as its weakness, depending on the preference of the wearer. I found it one-sided, in that it didn't alter or evolve much over time or when exposed to different temperatures.

Some of the sweetness subdued after an hour during leaving a more characteristic oriental-spicy bouquet with a hint of soft musk and woody cedar that with the aquatic notes still going strong.

Overall it's an uplifting, modern fragrance (despite its launch in 1991!) , young and fresh in character. Recommended for summer.
