SOTD - Salvador Dali Pour Homme

This was a blind buy for me a few years ago, and it continues to grow on me and impress. 1980s vintage gothic fugere with some nice herbaceous florals and a patchouli base. The bottle is still a head turner. I really think this was ahead of its time. If it were released today, I think it would get a lot of attention, though that attention might be divisive. Though it's been watered down and maybe reformulated (it featured oak moss, which has been restricted under IFRA), it's still pretty powerful. Licorice accord and aniseed in the opening give it a dark, slightly bitter opening, and the floral geranium adds a rosy floral depth before the patchouli, vanilla, and animalic music settle in. Gothic, dark, and yet easily wearable in the spring and fall and could do well in the office.
