Hmm.. Purplelips Sensual… I keep buying “purple” perfumes lately.. All of them blind buys and also good choices. Back to Purplelips Sensual.. I bought this after reading up on Salvador Dali fragrances here, because I really liked another Dali blind-buy based on the reviews here – Sea & Sun In Cadaques. I’m not familiar with Allure Sensuelle, so I cannot say if it is similar or not. After spraying I thought it is rather similar to 3121 Prince perfume (which is seriously growing on me), a sweeter and tamer version of it, not necessarily the same notes or smell, but rather the “vibe” of it… if that makes any sense.
I get the “men fragrance” idea; it can be mistaken for a man’s perfume, not only in the beginning, but in the drydown too. It is pretty sweet, it’s oriental and it has pretty good sillage and lasting power on my skin. I get the cinnamon and the woody base, maybe a bit of violet and some pepper. I can’t wait to try this in colder weather; it should do really good, because I already like it a lot now.
I’d say this is a safe blind-buy, well worth the very affordable price.

This perfume is rich and heady, definitly living up to its name. Spice, incense and orchid, it’s an intoxicating blend. This could turn cloying in heat, I think it will wear most beautifully on chilly days. This is my first Dali scent and I have to say, I am impressed. I wanted something unique yet seductive with woods, spice and incense and this scent is exactly what I was looking for.
UPDATE: I haven’t worn this in a really long time but I am struck by how close it is to midnight fleur. Less patch, more spice, but VERY similar. This is one of the best bargain scents you can get your hands on.

This one lives up to it’s name—“Sensual” is definitely the moniker for it.
From the first spray I am enveloped in a heady cloud of black currant, freesia, and a hint of cinnamon that quickly warms into a rich, resinous, opoponax-amber sensual blend…it wafts around me, lingers sensually, and makes me feel divine. The drydown is still all opoponax, sandalwood, amber, and a hint of patchouli that is just creamy and sexy and lovely. This COULD be too heavy for a hot summer day (maybe just a half spritz for that!) but I can see it being suited for fall/winter, or a sexy night out. It is still going strong at 8 hours on me and I can see it lingering for at least another 2-3 in this soft, sweet, resinous cloud of delight.
A++ —my first Salvador Dali scent, and it’s a WINNER.

In response to Pattyk: they do not smell the same at all. Purpelips sensual is somewhere between gourmand and cinnamon. Purplelips regular is more floral.

QUESTION: I just purchased this one, blindly because I love cinnamon in my perfumes…..does Purplelips edp and Purplelips Sensual smell the same. Is it worth buying them both? They both seem to have good characters in them but I do not want a perfume that smells exactly like the other….Thanks!

I dont like Salvador`s perfumes.For me almost all of them are boring,no sillage and lasting power.I decided to buy blind this,because i was searching for something not so commersial and i am very surprised in a good way.The first frag from SDthat i like.It is not wow fragrance,not at all,but interesting enough compared to all these sugar crap on the market.I can smell the cinnamon and looots of opoponax with little amber and orchid.It is warm and cozy,i think is sexy in a very intelligent way.Very bad sillage and lasting power though.I have to spray it every 30 min.

Masculine is the first thing my daughter said when sprayed this perfume . Wait I said to her it will get better…it was a blind buy off strawberry net and the notes looked great . Well its been on my skin for hours and it is as masculine now as it was at the start , and sadly kinda gross..so sad …reminds me of Angel which I hate . No sandalwood which I wanted …just a lingering dissapointment.

Purplelips Sensual is a successful flanker in the sense that the essence of the original remains, but it is it’s own distinctive fragrance. I consider both to be evening fragrances, but Sensual would definitely give a lover of the original a new facet to enjoy.
As with the original it has that same fruity, “purple” smell akin to Forbidden Euphoria. The main difference lies in the intensive, almost gourmand cinnamon note. Aside from that, Purplelips Sensual is woodier and overall more “Oriental”.
Drydown is something akin to mulled wine. Most likely the berries + cinnamon.
I personally do not get a masculine impression from this fragrance.

This is very very masculine, I would never have guessed its for women. It doesnt matter at all if you like it. I can wear masculine scents, but this one is a bit to generic male cologne. I like vetyver and boss bottled in the world of manfumes, but this one, not so much. Its spicy and aromatic,faint sweetness. My partner likes it, so I gave it to her. Nice bottle tho.

I had bought this untried, based on the notes, but,
sadly its just powder, powder, and then loads more powder on me. I find this unpleasant. If anyone in Australia wants to swap with me, for anything on my lists, please message me. This bottle is new, has had a maximum of 5 sprays.
I’d love to smell this on someone it really works on, because the note combination is lovely….
Edit: My mother has tried this, after I left it at her place, and she loves it. She says the first blast is strong, but after that she’s getting a lovely powdery trail, and being a “more mature” lady, this is completely her style. Powder is a big no-no for me, but a must for her. Ah well, its just as well there’s no shortage of scents available to cater to all tastes. She may enjoy the full bottle with my blessing.

it is very inexpensive and i bought it blindbuy.perfect for cold winter nights,walking on snow,maybe theatre-cinema:)storng cinnamon-a bit sweet but not sticky.woody way close to skin,comfortable.longlasting and good sillage.
Alexs23 – :
This one is sort of similar to Jil by Jil Sander..but not that special.
cokensuek – :
It earns the sensual title without being cloying or musky. Is there cinnmon? It must be perfectly balanced. Recently this has won my favour over a bottle of Flora Bella (and all the others, God help me) My husband said ‘what is that woody scent?’ and came to investigate, whereupon he declared it quite the best perfume I had been wearing in the warm (Southern hemisphere) weather.
Is it masculine? I feel rather womanly when I wear it. Whatever the gender its well endowed. This perfume is inexpensive, not cheap, it doesn’t fade to Lux soap and I could see myself buying it again.
Pack it with your softest batik, your hippie chic beads and take it somewhere tropical.

For me, this is a gorgeous scent. I liked it right from the first spray but it grows and grows in me, as I’m wearing it. And I’m reaching for it very often compared to other fragrances I have.
Yes, it’s heady, edgy and ‘serious’ and certainly sensual but not ‘sexy’. It’s a perfume with a character, one might say.
Everytime I’m wearing this perfume at work(I’m teaching adults at night classes), people are inhaling deeply over and over again.
Purplelips Sensual is mostly suitable for cold weather, for mostly for nights but suitable for daytime too. It could be worn by younger ages as well, i think, it’s quite a modern perfume.
Cinnammon is the prevailing note that softens with the time through its mix with a soft orchid. There is also a Bell’d’ Opium-like aromatic Sandawood note present in the drydown. The drydown comes quite early and it’s lovely. I also smell black current and a tiny bit of pepper.
I love this scent more and more as I’m wearing it.

way too strong and masculine for me…too much pepper and cinnamon. I don’t like it…
Awatasmoods – :
No me gusta para nada. Me decidí a comprarlo por tantas buenas calificaciones y lo que describían las usuarias de éste sitio, pero termino muy desilusionada. lo siento como una colonia barata de hombre mayor. No le encuentro nada sensual, solo olor a hombre y pasado de moda
Solo en la fase final, justo antes de morir en mi piel encuentro un olor agradable, cálido y dulzón. Pero todo su desarrollo es horrible en mi piel.
Me gustan las fragancias gourmand, pero a ésta no le encuentro esas características. No se, el precio es bajo y la duracion resulto muy buena, pero no recomendaría comprar a ciegas.

Well had this scent before and was not impressed with his scents…and I do not think Salvadore Dali would of picked up these notes for his fragrances…I own his gold dip tarot cards and his art is very eccentric as his art…this frag smells oldish like earl grey tea with herbal hints of spice and woody notes on my skin…so my bottle is stamped made in france and I had this fragrance before but never looked at the bottle to see where it was made…I feel it a good fragrance but not one he would pick and put his name on…since he was meticulous with sex and art…Ruby red lip i have and has a synthethic smell I think and sensual purple lips is way better…so if I had to pick it be senual purple lips…too bad he died…would of loved to see him pick his notes…it would be wild and he be fighting anyone in his way…

Ok, this is what Pour Homme was becoming before the Vetiver attacked me.Just lovely, spicy-sweet and powdery. Much better!
toyt – :
I absolutely adore this fragrance….it is a split personality half masculine/half feminine…opens like a men’s woodsy fragrance, and then quickly becomes VERY feminine woodsy and warm with a bit of spice and sweet. When I first tried this it really threw me, but now it is one of my favorite woods fragrances. I love that it is not too manly and not too foo-foo. It is just right!
Верный – :
A splendid fragrance, if only the lasting power was better! Anyway, the smell is so relaxing, cozy, warm and soothing I really enjoy it and do not complain about its longevity – it seems Purplelips Sensual make it up by the lovely, balmy and woody sweet scent. True, it appears to be gourmand-spicy thanks to cinnamon and vanilla aroma mixed with sandalwood. It is one of the modern fragrances that seem to appeal to me a lot. Spraying it on a scarf will make your morning or evening Indian summer walk a real sensual pleasure. Recommended!
EDIT: Another great thing is that when I sprayed it on the palm of my hand, after a long while I got a wonderful, intoxicating smell similar to Zino Davidoff, which I absolutely adore on men! Wow, in this case I know how to bring back the memories without actually turning to this extremely masculine Davidoff perfume 🙂
ngb – :
I smell quite a heavy Almond in this perfume too! And maybe even Marzipain or something that smells like that! So it is much more a dark gourmand than I ever thought!!
hitman7589 – :
Purplelips Sensual is a perfume that I would recommend to older women because I feel I’m too young for it. I like it but it’s not me at all when I smell it. I think I would wear it after 20-30 years.
It’s pretty strong and name Sensual is very accurate for it. It has this mature sensualty. It even has something masculine in it but nonetheless it’s only for real women.

This is my second favourite from S.Dali right after Dalimania and before Dalissime. It is a beautiful oriental-like, fragrance that develops nicely. Indeed sensual!
First it seems a little aquatic to me, then there are cinnamon, pepper, vanilla and resin. Sometimes I can detect fruits…Highly recommended!

i bought this unsnnifed because i liked the composition of the notes,and i was satified,it is awoody fragrance,not heavy in character,on my skin i get the smells of pepper ,orchid and cinnamon,with ahint of violet.i wish it was longer lasting,and its not a difficult to wear fragrance, i think it could be worn easily summer time..reminds me allitle bit of lancomes miracle forever
xMopox – :
What wonderful notes! I highly aprove the IDEA of the frag, dark, almost gothic, sharp and sexy, but the realisation probably reflects the low budget that they got to make this one… the sillage and lasting power are poor on me, and the composition seems a bit chaotic.
This is certainly a cousin of Purplelips, only that you have spices and resins instead of fruits and lilac, which is a good change. In the beginning pepper, violet and blackcurrant from the top notes are predominant. They give the mixture a very strong, almost masculine sharpness. In the middle the cinnamon enters and rules from now on, accompanied by a lovely, but very short song of violet warmed up by oppoponax. I wish it could stay longer… The base is hardly detectable to me. I don’t get much vanilla, maybe a tiny little bit, nor the explicit sandalwood, but it’s all in all definitely woody in caracter.
There is something beautifully mysterious in the scent,and it is virtually what I imagine a feminine woody should be, so in some moments I simply adore it, but by now I dream about getting the same but done properly, one day… I’m going to wear this one, though, I even got some compliments already.
