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

  Fresh and sweet with a citrus touch, it smells refined. Although it’s cheap, its quality (longevity, sillage, and staying power) is top-notch, on par with any designer brand like 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 the longevity and sillage are just adequate. Olfactorily, it’s delicate, citrusy, and creamy, ideal for the office or informal moments. It has Armani Code vibes; it’s an interesting proposal that just lacks the punch for my tastes. If you like soft scents, it’s a great option.

  The same nose behind Armani Code, Antoine Lie, takes on 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, it’s not the first time commercial will, pedigree, and sentimental attachment to lost objects have elevated material to a point where I decide to buy. Beyond the packaging, there’s an essence that gives satisfaction to a blend of notes with generous, unapologetic synthetics. The opening is fantastic; Dalí would have shot four times before painting Shirley Temple. That note of labdanum with cedar and basil redeems a mediocre blend that seems like a minefield of nutmeg, which is why I couldn’t hold back a laugh reading that it was recommended for ‘delicate and soft’ tastes… It must be for delicate wallets, as 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 offer, and although it’s another product from the Dalí line, nostalgia and collecting made me buy it. Beyond the packaging, there’s an essence between sweet musk and fir resin. The opening is fantastic; Dalí would have painted Shirley Temple four times over. The labdanum with cedar and basil saves a mediocre blend that seems like a minefield of nutmeg; I laughed reading that they recommended it for soft and delicate tastes… it must be for delicate wallets, as 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: a creamy tonka bean with woods and sage gives it an incredible touch. It has a floral side, but it’s subtle, perfect for elegance. Undoubtedly, it’s a scent that sounds familiar, like Armani Code Ultimate, but with a woodier variant akin to Azzaro Decibel. In short, I loved Dali; it never fails. Fixation lasts 8 hours, and the trail and aromatic cloud reach out to about 6 hours. For an EDT, it’s the best purchase I’ve made.

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

  Nocturnal and budget-friendly: It’s the unofficial twin of Armani Code, sporting that synthetic look that makes it unique. Curiously, in nightlife and concerts (pre-pandemic), it garnered more compliments than the original. It’s made for crowds and parties, not for daytime wear. In 2010, I made the mistake of wearing it at university 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 for Money: 9 – Longevity: 8 – Sillage: 8 – Versatility: 4 (its weak point).
