 Salvador Dali){kind=link}
ekaterin2512 – :
Salvador by Salvador Dali is a delicious blend of spices, flowers, and leather, with a sweet fruity touch (that of pear, or apple, peel), which is very masculine and classy. At times, you can also perceive an extremely pleasant, subtle tobacco accord.
Salvador is in a similar vein to Safari by Ralph Lauren and Jazz by Yves Saint Laurent. It sports a very elegant, non-rigid aura. In my opinion, its aroma is timeless, with greater potential in autumn and winter–it would perform well on a summer night or a cool spring day, though. It also has very good longevity (8-10 hours on skin) and great projection and sillage, qualities that have been greatly overlooked by perfume houses today.
I am surprised that Salvador has been discontinued as it is, in my opinion, better and more versatile than the legendary Salvador Dali Pour Homme; in addition, it wouldn’t pass off as an “old guy’s scent” nowadays. For that same reason, it is a fragrance that I consider criminally underrated and, therefore, deserves more recognition from perfume lovers. As a detail, I’ve noticed this perfume doesn’t belong to a specific olfactory group, but, to me, this can be classified as a spicy leather.
I think that’s all for now. Below is my score for this incredible gem.
Fragrance: 10/10
Longevity: 10/10
Projection: 10/10
Sillage: 10/10
Versatility: 8/10
Average: 9.6/10

This is excellent. Very long lasting, great projection, very non-linear – going from aromatic citrus to more honey/leathery over the course. It has a pepperiness to it which is very dry and it’s a very solar fragrance, very bright. It reminds me of Catalonia, the home of Dali. This is the best fougere I have smelled, I consider it to be underrated, possibly because it fits into a dated period of 80s fougeres. It’s every bit as well composed as Azzaro pour homme, but a lot more unusual uplifting. The bottle is stunning – honeycombed glass, embossing, date on the bottom. My favourite bottle in my collection, and one of the only scents I would give 10/10, in a collection of around 100.

I’ve been holding off for a long time to sniff this creation from Antony Gerard (who was also behind the two great aromatic fougeres: Azzaro PH and Balenciaga PH), but I finally found a bottle for a reasonable price (not easy these days as this is becoming increasingly scarce). Salvador definitely hails from that very-unique period in mainstream perfumery that occurred in the early 90’s, in the few years after Cool Water was introduced, when minimalist and softer unisex fragrances were starting to be introduced and take hold (revolutionizing the market and giving the 90’s its increasingly fresh-fruity flavor), but, as you know, men’s fashions don’t change quite-as-quickly as women’s, and this is true for fragrances as well: there were still many aromatic fougeres being released, and this was one of them. But, unlike those of the previous decade, this one (like Giorgio Beverly Hills Red for Men) contained a fair amount of calone to keep up with the times a bit and navigate the new, watery world that was unfolding: spices, green herbs, a carefully-balanced accord of carnation and rose in its beautiful, lilting heart that gracefully employs the freshness of calone… and a traditional base with plenty of oakmoss and leather… it immediately- though this is my first-ever sniff- brings me back to those blissful years before the internet exploded and house music was in full tilt. Salvador is giving me “a moment”… and I must now excuse myself to blissful nostalgia-

Lemon or lime blast, then now we get some herbal and spicy things going on, coriander, cinnamon, cardamom, maybe even mint or clarysage, clove or allspice, wintergreen maybe. Wintergreen vanilla. Now up come some woods. Unique. I quite like it. Definately spicy. I like that is it not really sweet. This would not be for everyone. You need to like cloves to like this one. This would fit well into a natural scene like walkiing in the woods and I bet a fire in the background would set this off also. This would suite a ski lodge also.

I bought a lot of 5 miniatures while I was looking for other fragrances. At the time, I was interested in Gourmands and I put this one away. I just pulled it out and thought to give it a try. It’s nicer than I remember it to be. It starts off with a sweet and spicy floral burst, a little stinging up close. When it begins to settle, I can pick out the rose, the cinnamon, and musk. At the heart, there is a hint of leather, which helps to soften it further. It is a natural smelling and pleasant scent. The combination of notes, especially the florals, makes it a somewhat refined and elegant scent. Certainly not too tame to make your presence known. The sillage is great. I don’t know about longevity yet, but from what other reviews have written, it lasts several hours.

I like leather , I love spices , I love intense perfumes : I enjoy Salvador and wear it although it is a bit too masculine for a woman ( who often wears masculines ) . Better suited to cool weather as it is a loud , warm and rich fragrance . I find it much more on the exuberant side than elegant .

Though released in early 90s, it’s a powerhouse in tradition of great eighties. I bought it for a song in the bottom shelf of a discount counter recently and am really loving it. Though a bit harsh on top, it settles down to a wonderful spicy/floral dry down. Most accessible of all Dali Pour Hommes for my olfactory receptors and one of best in my collection. I only use few sprays on my arms at night and feel myself in the concord lounge. I believe in sharing but not Dali Pour Homme, a fragrance only for me which I don’t want to broadcast. I had never been so possessive through my entire life.

Salvador is so magnifique! Perhaps the best design from Dalí’s House. I just love the scent that match your skin into a blend of spicy leather and wood with a touch of tobacco. Too masculine and sexy as well!!! Beautiful and elegant bottle.
Skazochniccam – :
Delicious one!
In my opinion, it kind of smelled like pear peel (Am I crazy?); it was really long-lasting and had good sillage. I got this back in 1993, when my mother gave it to me for Christmas that year. It’s a pity this fragrance no longer exists.

I bought 6 years ago, and I left in a corner. A few days ago I found again …. it’s fantastic! It is a harmony of scents and longevity on my skin is 4-5 hours. Just one word … fantastic! Too bad no one can find.

I don’t get much patchouli or cedar, and it’s a little sweet, but it seems to have quite a bit of oakmoss. I think I’m getting a little leather, but there is definitely a pine-like quality, perhaps “green notes,” spices, and the wood notes listed are doing this. There is also clearly a floral aspect, though I don’t get a specific floral note pushing its way to the fore. This is quite nice, perhaps best suited to a formal event involving something joyous, like a wedding. This is very different from the first Dali fragrance for men, so don’t let that scare you off. Instead, this is blended just right, one of the greats from that incredible late 70s to early 90s period in men’s fragrance history.
UPDATE: Several hours in and it does take on a woody quality.
UPDATE #2: Wearing it today; it’s been at least a couple months since the last one. Now the “green notes” (seems like galbanum), wood notes, and florals and working together very nicely, creating an almost fig-like presentation. It’s a little powdery and almost nutty. Too bad Chanel hasn’t made a “masculine” scent like this one in recent years! If you like scents such as Egoiste, this is one to try; it’s got that rich, complex, entirely natural feel that you expect in the best modern perfumery has to offer. If Egoiste is for the winter and Minotaure is for late Spring or early summer, this one is for early Spring.

this is my all time favorite perfum.
unbeliveble and I cant find the same.
10/10***
MarshallWS – :
Wish I could find this masterpiece again. SD PH is just not the same.
gpg256Unlogrere – :
My husband’s favorite. On him it smells fresh and natural, not “perfumey.” It is very elegant and smart.
pasha1328 – :
This Perfumery only for the judges of perfume art!
stalkex – :
It’s greatest men perfume from this house. Top note open with lot of pepper and may be strong in first sniff. But leave it 10 minutes, its turn to elegant and make you feel like business man in 30 years old.
So sad it’s discontinued.
Scent: 4.5/5
Longlast: 4/5
