Manifesto For Futurism - Dali's Dilemma

Advantages: Collectible, unusual, feminine, long-lasting
Disadvantages: From the middle notes onwards it waters down a bit

...Launch date: 1991 Group: Fruity floral Introduction I'm a fan of Dali's art and perfumes so when the two come together, it's more than one can wish for. I have a rare, original 50ml 1990's bottle in my collection together with a new 8ml pen edition of the fragrance and a one I'm using occasionally. Although not well known, Laguna has been around since its 1991 launch and in my opinion, proved to be a timeless, unusual fragrance that hadn't probably earned as much respect as it deserved.

...One of the pleasures of independent travel is that sometimes you chance on something wonderful and unexpected. I?d been exploring the southern Pyrenees on the Spanish side, and decided to re-enter France near Portbou, but first I thought I?d have a look at a couple of towns I didn?t know.
