by Salvador Dali
Laguna Homme by Salvador Dali presents a warm, sweet, and subtly aromatic profile that leans heavily into vanilla, coumarin, tonka bean, and a quiet floral-citrus opening. While the name and blue bottle suggest a fresh, aquatic summer scent, it is actually a surprisingly gentle, powdery, and creamy fragrance—more suited for cooler days than the beach. It unfolds slowly, with a soft citrus burst from bergamot and mandarin giving way to a radiant, honeyed vanilla, tonka, and sandalwood base. Many note its pleasant, inviting presence rather than an overwhelming sillage; it lingers moderately on skin and clothing, savorably so, without being cloying. The scent strikes a balance between sweetness and woody depth, with subtle hints of cedar, sage, and frankincense that add complexity. While some detect a synthetic quality or rubbery note, most find it warm, comforting, and uniquely evocative—like a cozy, golden hour moment in a sunlit room. It performs well beyond expectations for a fragrance of its pricing and appeals especially to those who appreciate nuanced, smoky sweet drydowns found in perfumes like Versace Blue Jeans or Arpege Pour Homme.
