  Fresh and sweet with a citrus touch, it smells refined. Even though it’s cheap, its quality (longevity, sillage, staying power) is top-notch, on par with any designer fragrance like Givenchy, Dior, Carolina Herrera, or Gaultier.

  Fresh, sweet, and with a citrus touch, it smells very refined. Despite its economical price, its quality (longevity, sillage, staying power) is excellent, just like designer fragrances from Givenchy, Dior, Carolina Herrera, or Gaultier.

  Total immersion in Dali thanks to Josesan. It’s more daytime than nighttime, pleasant, light, and well-scented. I expected something more potent; the bottle suggests it. The ingredients blend well, and the result is good, though longevity and sillage are just okay. Olfactorily, it’s delicate, citrusy, and creamy, ideal for the office or informal moments. It has an Armani Code vibe; it’s an interesting proposal that just lacks the power for my taste. If you like soft scents, it’s a great option.

  The same nose behind Armani Code, Antoine Lie, takes the commission from Cofinluxe to create another of the infinite glass crows the brand has spawned under the Dalí label, with varying degrees of luck. Black Sun isn’t one of the luckiest, but at least it doesn’t disappoint. Rescued from a perfumer’s clearance drawer, this isn’t the first time commercial will, pedigree, and sentimental attachment to lost objects have elevated a material to the point of purchase. Beyond the packaging, there’s an essence that gives satisfaction to a blend of notes with generous, unapologetic synthetics. The opening is fantastic; in fact, Dalí would have shot four times before painting Shirley Temple. That note of labdanum with cedar and basil redeems a middle that seems like a minefield of nutmeg, which is why I couldn’t help laughing when I read they recommended it for ‘delicate and soft’ tastes… That must be for delicate wallets, since it costs less than 5 euros per ounce. Before its grand start gets lost in a dark base of tonka and vanilla, there will be minutes of olfactory pleasure worth trying without rushing.

  The same creator of Armani Code, Antoine Lie, does the same for Cofinluxe. Black Sun isn’t one of the luckiest, but it doesn’t disappoint. I picked it up on sale, and although it’s another product from the Dalí line, nostalgia and collecting made me buy it. Beyond the bottle, there’s an essence between sweet musk and fir resin. The opening is fantastic; in fact, Dalí would have painted Shirley Temple four times over. The labdanum with cedar and basil saves a middle note that seems like a minefield of nutmeg; I laughed reading that they recommended it for soft and delicate tastes… that must be for delicate wallets, since it costs less than 5 euros per ounce. Before the tonka and vanilla base overwhelms it, there are a few minutes of olfactory pleasure worth trying.

  Exquisite: creamy tonka bean with woods and sage gives it an incredible touch. It has a floral side, but subtle, perfect for elegance. It’s definitely a familiar scent, like Armani Code Ultimate, but with a woodier variation similar to Azzaro Decibel. In short, I loved Dali; it never fails. 8-hour longevity, and the trail and sillage reach outstretched arm distance for about 6 hours. For an EDT, this is the best purchase I’ve made.

  Nocturnal and affordable: It’s the unofficial twin of Armani Code, sporting that synthetic look that makes it unique. Surprisingly, in nightlife and concerts (pre-pandemic), it got me more compliments than the original. It’s made for crowds and parties, not for daytime. In 2010, I made the mistake of wearing it to college on a 27-degree day, and it was a total disaster; everyone backed away. I learned the hard way that it’s intolerable in the heat. Scent: 8 – Value: 9 – Longevity: 8 – Projection: 8 – Versatility: 4 (its weak point).

  Nocturnal and budget-friendly: Despite being the unrecognized twin of Armani Code and being very similar, it has its own synthetic stamp that makes it distinct. Paradoxically, it brought me more compliments in clubs and at night than the original. It’s designed for nighttime and crowded environments. I made the mistake in 2010 of wearing it during the day at college, and the rejection was total; it’s intolerable at 27 degrees. Scent: 8 – Value: 9 – Longevity: 8 – Projection: 8 – Versatility: 4 (its weak point).
