Exotic oceanic experience from Dali

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. The bottle This great collectible item comes in vitrous turquoise coloured lip-formed glass bottle and nose-shaped lid. Dali himself designed the bottle of the first 'Salvador Dali' fragrance based on his own painting 'Apparition of the Face of Aphrodite of Knidos'. It has a small calligraphic signature that says...

Review of Salvador Dali Laguna

This mania is still going strong...

Advantages: One of a kind, exotic bland, collectible bottle
Disadvantages: Strong apricot - peach note, availability

...Launched: 1999 Group: Oriental INTRODUCTION I discovered the Salvador Dali Parfums perfume house in 1999, the year Dalimania was released as I received it as a gift and got hooked on it. It also sparked my interest in perfumes in general and in the perfume house Parfums Salvador Dali itself which was created and signed by Dali in 1982 to allow worldwide licensing of his works of fragrances and bottles designed by himself in the 1950-60s. The actual development of the fragrances took off in 1985 starting with Dali Eau de Toilette for Women and Dali for Men with 27 fragrances produced to date. THE PACKAGING This great collectible item comes in vitreous orangey-red coloured tall glass bottle that has a nose and lip shaped onto it on both sides. The bottle was designed based on Dali?s own painting ?O Christmas O...

Review of Salvador Dali Dalimania

Very Salvador Dali

Advantages: Lancome is well known
Disadvantages: none

...I was most intrigued by the design of this bottle, it is reminiscent of Salvalor Dali and I wonder if this was to catch the wearer/user unaware. I like the shape, like the Dali Noe/Lips theme the is Shoulders. The perfume is a pleasant fragrance with subtle hints of citrus and overnotes of saldalwood. A heady perfume with musky overtones, quite fruity with hints of lemon in it I received a sample of this fragrance as a give-away with another Lancome product. I was amazed by the response of my friends and colleagues who felt the fragrance suited me. This normally retails around £20.00 for 30ml but shop around as there are often special offers on and also some of the shops give freebies when you buy two items or more. These freebies can amount up to £30.00 of products. This is especially useful at Christmas where you...

Review of Lancome Poeme Eau de Parfum Spray

Ruby lips and faux pas

Advantages: Collectible bottle, nice scent
Disadvantages: Poor staying power, Dali knows better than this

...Launched: 2004 Group: Fruity floral woody Introduction I test perfumes as a hobby and have a toiletry bag full of vials to choose from. I've recently found a couple of vials of Rubylips, a 2004 addition to the Dali fragrance arsenal. Parfums Salvador Dali, the perfume house isn't widely known outside France I'd say, it was created and signed by Dali in 1982 to allow worldwide licensing of his works of fragrances and bottles designed by himself in the 1950-60s. The bottle The Rubylips Eau de Toilette is recogniseable by their distinctive lip motive and is a representation of Dali's Ruby Lips brooch created in 1949 from ruby coloured crystals and faux pearls. The bottle is a tall and stylish rectangle with five ruby lips sculpted onto it. The colour is ruby red including the square click-top lid. The fragrance Top...

Review of Salvador Dali Rubylips Perfume

Can I have my blueberry cake and eat it too?

Advantages: Purple-theme, collectible bottle, price
Disadvantages: Poor staying power for a floral oriental

...Launched: 2006 Group: Oriental Floral Introduction I discovered the Salvador Dali Parfums perfume house in 1999, the year Dalimania was released as have been following its new perfume releases. A relatively new release, Purplelips caught my eye when I was looking for a lilac scented spring-time fragrance earlier this year so I bought a 100ml tester of it on Ebay to try.

Review of Salvador Dali Purplelips Eau de Toilette Spray

São Salvador da Baía de Todos os Santos

Advantages: Nicely restored tourist friendly old town
Disadvantages: The ladies hunt in packs

...Salvador, in the state of Bahia, north east Brazil (or São Salvador da Baía de Todos os Santos as it was named in the past) was the first colonial capital city of Brazil and, although power shifted to Rio de Janeiro in the late eighteenth century, then to Brasilia in 1960, it retains much of it's past grandeur and colonial architecture. One of the main reasons to come here, however, is the wonderful mix of cultural influences that make the cuisine, music and lifestyle here so different even to other parts of Brazil. The population of over three million, consists mainly of people with African origins descended from slaves, although there have been many other strong influences through Salvador's history. Salvador is also famous for it's carnival and street parties. The final stop on my extensive two-week tour of Brazil was to Salvador...

Review of Salvador de Bahia

Dali Demented or Divine

Advantages: Unusual museum,full of surprises
Disadvantages: Possible crowds in season

...dazed by the impact of the place yet on a great high. It was only later, when I thought over all I?d seen, that I realised how my opinion of Dalí had changed. I am now convinced that he is the greatest painter the world has ever known.

Review of Dali museum - Figueres (Spain)

The Renault Laguna Estate, sorry, Sports Tourer

Advantages: Stylish, well equipped, technology laden car
Disadvantages: Not the most practical of estates and the engine is a little fussy

...Yes, it's time for my second op on the trials and tribulations of our new cars. Just to recap, we need a new car and we've limited it to 3 cars - the VW Passat, Renault Laguna and Saab 9-3. You may have read my Saab 9-3 op - and if not, why not? -, so now it's time for round two and it's time for a Parisian challenger in the face of the popular Renault Laguna and here is my op on it... THE CURRENT FACE OF RENAULT Well, Renault are probably set to go down as having one of the most bizarre ranges of cars in the world, by 2003 with an onslaught of stunning - or weird - new cars. The first of these cars comes in the Laguna, which stole the headlines with it's adventurous looks in 2000, but more on that later. Next up came the absolutely wacky Avantime 'Coupe - MPV' concept car that hit production. In the next couple of months...

Review of Renault Laguna 1.9 dCi

Laguna Park 2 Apartments

Advantages: Views, range of activities
Disadvantages: Location

...I visited the Laguna Park 2 apartments for a week in November 2005. I hope you find this review helpful! On top of the already great features at the Laguna Park 2 you can also use the facilities at Laguna Park 1 at the bottom of the hill. Location the Laguna Park 2 apartments are on the outskirts of Playa de las Americas near Costa Adeje. It is quite a long walk to the beach, and about 10 minutes to bars and restaurants. If it is the very lively part of Las Americas for example Veronicas strip this would be too far out. It is on "cardiac hill", you have to walk down a slope to the pool from most apartments. It would definitely not be suitable for those with walking difficulties as the hill is just too steep and long. There are a couple of lifts but whether they are working or not is a different matter. There is a taxi rank...

Review of Laguna Park 2, Tenerife

Renault Laguna a great family estate.

Advantages: A geat family car for those who dont want a people carrier
Disadvantages: Car key is a card pricy to replace

...I brought a Renault Laguna 1.9TD Sport Tourer In April of this year. I paid £2300 for an 03reg. You get a high quality car for a relativly small amount of money. The Sport Tourer comes with part leather interior, three 3 point seatbelts which is a must for anybody with children, a cd player, air con, Abs, 6 speed gears, heated front and rear windscreens and lots more. I have three young children and didn't want to purchase a people carrier instead I opted for this estate and so far have been extremely pleased with my purchase.It has a fantastically large boot which fits my double buggy in with ease and still has enough room for shopping. As far as safety ratings go this is by far one of the best it has several airbags and you are able to turn the passenger airbag off at a switch if you need to place a rear facing child seat in...
