Le Roy Soleil Salvador Dali for women

Abre bem tropical, sinto principalmente abacaxi com mandarina, a canela é bem fraca, vai fechando talcado com cravo e depois o floral vai ficando cada vez mais docinho de flores, tem muito cheiro de damasco, lembra inclusive o Rodeo Drive 273 com mais dulçor mas não é seco como ele, parece ter um cheiro mentolado de fundo bem levinho que vai e vem. Bem gostosinho, para o calor, bem tropical, passa realmente a vibe de sol, de dias quentes de brisa, finalmente algo com essa entonação sem a nota de coco.

I only have a very distant memory of this perfume so I won't be able to say much about it.

It was a perfume in the same style as Kashâya (which I love by the way) except that here there was cinnamon which was very appreciable (for me who loves cinnamon at least). Similar citrus/apricot smell, with a feeling of something warm and fresh at the same time. Very sensual. I don't remember being bothered by pineapple (which I hate) so either it blended perfectly with the rest or it wasn't detectable to my nose. A typical 90s scent.

Well, this opinion should be taken with a grain of salt because it's been more than 25 years since I last smelled this perfume and sometimes memories are more beautiful than reality... ;)

Definitely loud, so beware of over spraying. Sweet and spicy, reminds me of a peach pie with the warm cinnamon and strong apricot notes. There is a strong tonka and sandalwood backbone, giving it a sweet sexiness. I feel like a sultry fruit pie lol.

I'm not sure what has happened in the 2 years since I purchased this scent from eBay, but the price has more than tripled for used bottles... I'm guessing others have discovered how yummy and unique this fragrance is.

This is one that I bought for the fabulous Dali bottle. It's very fruity and summery. I like it and will wear in the spring and summer. It was an Ebay purchase. The price was too good to pass up and the scent is nice. Nothing I would pay hundred dollars for, but a good buy at $15 which included shipping.

Gorgeous Dali scent with a magnificent bottle! For me, opens up with mostly apricot followed by a tad of pineapple, cinnamon spice and a smidge of that plasticky 90s baby doll head. Rich, fruity, sweet, spicy and complex. This one reads to my nose like a mashup of Rochas Femme and Gucci Rush. Adore it! Great silage will update on longevity

This perfume is a masterpiece. It evokes feelings of happiness, rays of light, sun shining and fresh clean linen drying whist someone is on the Pineapple plantation gathering pineapples by the arms width! I agree its blended so well that the notes are barely distinguished. They are all sunny, produce growing, abundant, fields of scents! Sparkling is a word Id use. Like the fizz of Möet Champagne olfactorized in a gorgeous happy Sun Dial Bottle. I have taken my time to review this. I really believe on the 3rd time wearing it that I've captured something incredibly special. I will save it for special occasions but indulge in it as often as I deem special. An olfactory face lift, a mind expanding fresh and cleanness without being soap white fresh, sparkling new joy, ecstatic, anointed type rejuvenation. The best brightest fruit sparkling bellini you will ever drink up!
The notes of pore opening clove and warm cinnamon and amber came in about 20 minutes after spraying on myself, then they drift in and out with all the top notes and sparkling fruit. They may return again but I'm heading to bed to have the sweetest dream.
I acquired about 75 to 80ml in a 100ml flanker with original box, 100ml Parfum De Toilette! Probably paid close to £1 per ml yet its worth it.

Even though this is loaded with spice, resins, pods, and seeds, I get a distinct impression of airiness. Like where the ocean meets the desert in South America or something. Good stuff. The bottle fits the scent perfectly, too. Or maybe it's the other way around.

Edit: This doesn't smell like Dior Dune, but it somehow reminds me of it. Maybe it's the way it makes me feel when I wear it.

Didn't know Schiaparelli did it first. Wish I could smell that! It appears, at least by the note pyramid, that Mr. Romano tried to remain faithful to the original 40s recipe. As far as trends by decade, I could see this living alongside Femme, with the stone fruit and spice notes. Mmm. Like modern Femme, this version of La Roy Soleil is wonderful.

2nd edit: been sitting here knitting my eyebrows and suddenly it hits me OMG IT SMELLS LIKE CANDIE'S

I threw (1999) Candie's in the trash a few years ago, having decided I hated it. Now I wish I hadn't. Tastes change, HOARD EVERYTHING

Wow this perfume could be very good modern niche! I have very old bottle and top notes turned into mess with plastic scent but it dissappears in 5 minutes giving space to beautiful combination of beeswax, cinnamon and bitter herbs balsam. Comfortable and warming. Lasts 3-4 hours.

Years ago, I had the bodylotion of this and it was spectacular! There were nights out that I only applied some of the lotion, no perfume whatsoever, and got so many compliments from both men and women. I found it very sensual; sweet and fruity, but also spicy and warm, all just perfectly balanced. I still hope to find it again someday…

There are some bottles (mainly miniatures) of the PDT/EDT itself to be found, but I wonder, since I have not ever tried those, if that would give me the same experience as the lotion.
Is there anyone, who has experience with both the fragrance and the lotion, able to tell me if there’s a difference? And, of course, please let me know if you know where to find the lotion! :-)

This is truly magical! I can see, however, that Le Roy Soleil could be a bit divisive, but for my nose, this is what you write home about. Yes, it is a product of its generation, as am I, so the orchestration is familiar and provocative. This is all the spice that Jungle promised, and then heartlessly obliterated with that haunting, buttery center of ylang ylang and heliotrope. This is the embolden sister to Coco; slightly more spice forward, but just as beautiful, and just as much of a power-house performer. I just hate discovering something so preciously delicious that's been discontinued. Price inflation is exorbitant, and bottles seem to be being sold in dark corners and strange alley ways. But man, or ma'am, is it something worth the risk; and a much needed respite from the homogeneous zones current trends are confined within, (that one day will also be considered dated as well). Funny how fashion flows. There is nothing new under the sun, just spirals of the present. But enough philosophy for now. Instead, let's just sit back and marvel at this list of ingredients, that somehow remain distinct in character while playing in harmony for the maestro. That is a truly amazing feat of perfumery. As a whole, it is a spell binding concoction of spicy, woody, sweetness - a stroll through a spice market in South America - earthy and rich, with every pleasure tangible, ripe, low bearing fruit and meandering dirt roads, that all lead back to the center heart of the city. It is as perfect a pleasure as those humble origins, with the regal flare of resinous woods, and the confidence of fresh cut flowers. And along the casual menagerie, there are moments of pause at each element. The slice of pineapple dripping warm down your hand, the papaya drink that lingers satiny sweetness on your palate; and then its back to the journey, surrounded by fragrantly benevolent choices along the way.

Maybe i need to apologise for my review.. Who knows. Just that in these times when blind buying seems to be the only way.... I think my 2 cents might come handy to someone. So, here it goes.

It's very 90s. It has this distinct way of presenting the notes and composition that is no longer in fashion (not a must per se, but - just be warned). Child of its era, definitely. It's an apricot-cinnamon concoction on a slightly skanky background of carnation and clingy tonka bean. Overly ripe n sticky pineapple is also there.

Slightly obnoxious thing. Interesting, but not alluring. The annoying "social" type if you will. The statement "can't get enough of it" (which i tend to look for in my fragrances) couldn't be further from the truth in this particular case. Soz.

I don’t have much to add other than I absolutely LOVE this fragrance. I will definitely be buying more, despite how hard it is to find.. As others have said, the longevity and sillage are really good!

Edit: I get so much cinnamon and pineapple from this. It’s such a shame that a couple of versions I have purchased seem to have gone stale.

Holy Cinnamon!!! And fruit! I LOVE this one.

Trip down the memory lane, back to the 80s. Sweet, strong, fruity opening of autumnal richness, then the fruit ripens into the background, leaving spices and amber. Its like a cornucopia, very 80s, rich with shoulder pads. Not a bad thing in a perfume if you ask me ;). It reminds me of Estee Lauder’s Cinnabar, but fruitier. Kind of like CK Escape and EL Cinnabar combined, the apple note is there too. After it develops I get a lot of cinnamon and maybe cloves, carnation, amber. Its a rich 80s scent, and quite a nice one. I love the outrageous presentation with the sun. Is it worth paying astronomical prices for? Probably not. But if you can get it at a reasonable price (or just try the miniature), its worth your while. 80s perfumes still had proper blending leading to interest and longevity, not just linear, a few notes put together fast, like so many offerings today. Dali creations have stood the test of time well. EDIT Ahem I can see it was issued in the 90s....it smells like the 80s however :)

SUNSHINE - COCKTAILS - GORGEOUS

I have to confess I blind bought this because of the bottle/box design and the promise of fruits, spices and cocktails. I am NOT disappointed, this is a wonderful look back at perfume from a 90s perspective.

Its a really happy fruity sea breeze fragrance that always puts a smile on my face.

WOW - I'm in love!! This was a blind buy for me, and one of the best that I've ever made. I love the balance and longevity - not too fruity, not too spicy, not too sweet (a biggie for me) and wonderfully unique.

Now I understand why some folks mourn it's discontinuation. I'm very happy that I snagged a bottle before the prices went 'collector high' because I can still afford to love it too.

This review concerns parfum extrait.
A very fruity, shining essence, with lots of apples, apricots, mandarins, pineapples, sprinkled over with cinnamon.
A good blend, just like a deliciously fresh cocktail, with a hint of smoke and mint, according to my nose. The rosewood and tonka beens are also very prominent, adding with their sweetness to the whole mixture.
The king of summer perfumes, in a bottle crowned with a golden sun cup. Delicious!

A very soft bright summery fragrance that mainly was about the orange in the top then some orchid, musk, sandalwood. Not tropical but summer fresh without being citrus sparkling. Just ripe and lush. Also, it is powdery. I imagine there is iris/orris in this.

Unbelievable complex, rich, strong and beautiful. The Parfum de Toilette verison (1997) is one of the most beautiful apricot/cinnamon/vanilla fragrance I have ever experienced. Almost a work of an art. I can feel the natural ingredients and that makes me feel SAD and lost in this nowadays IFRA and EU killing restrictions. Stil have two mini bottles in my room, looks so cute,posh and gorgeous. A fruity/oriental gem with deep rosewood accents, which will be missed for sure. The box hides lots of secret messages as the entire dali opera offers... I don t find any similarities with Princese marina de Bourbon.
Great longevity, lots of compliments when I wear it. Spectacular and unique indeed. Unisex with no doubt, a lovely sunshine fragrance that will make you feel special. The bottle is stunning, even in mini format.

Here comes the sun! I placed my order the week of Winter Solstice, an Xmas gift to myself. On this bleak, post New Year’s day, I was so excited when my miniature Le Roy Soleil arrived in a small envelope post-marked from Portugal. Under the return address was a sticker showing three trees topped with stars, the shapes reminiscent of the sun-crowned bottle within. When I cut open the envelope. it released a waft of citrus, carnation, and spice. My cat even investigated the contents, and for a minute, was purring and leaping as if it were catnip! The tiny bottle is an exact replica of the larger flacon, which in turn is a 1990’s adaptation of the Schiaparelli classic, also designed by Dali. The earlier version was launched to celebrate French victory after WWII. Its name invokes the most glorious reign in French history, that of Louis the XIV. He was a flamboyant eccentric who fancied himself an incarnation of Apollo the Sun God, yet he lived up to the title as evidenced by the prosperity and power under his rule. Dali’s image of the sun wears an expression of weariness, as it rises over the sea, yet it wears a ribbon of honor about its neck In the shape of a ‘V’ for Victory.
In the same way, my little treasure sports hapless, pouting features formed by a flock of starlings. In spite of winter, the sun will return. The smell of warmth and sunshine prevails even as the spice and sandalwood remind us of the season. It is like the scent of clementine oranges on a cold winter day, a promise of spring.

Somebody described this is as Sunny D on a wood bench or something like that, and I think that's right on. This is such a happy, gracious, orange-y fragrance. It's no light tropical breeze at all; there's a balsamic/wood/vanilla base to this that upon drydown immediately rises right up to join the orange juice accord. First mist is just a wicker basket of ripeness basically, with fresh fruit of all kinds. I can't trace a single one very well, but I think I can definitely gather citruses and apple. There's a fizzy, warm-spiciness from the cinnamon and maybe the carnation that comes up as well, though it's gone pretty quickly on my skin. I wouldn't buy this looking for florals; the most they really do is sew together the fruit and the wood so the composition doesn't feel clumsy. If you get a chance to pick up a mini or a sample of this, don't miss the opportunity. It's like a 1990's commercial for a vacation in Jamaica. It's nostalgic and lovely, and I don't even remember most of the nineties. All ages, genders, and occasions could suit this gorgeously.

I genuinely don't mind this one. Where some Dali scents aren't dissimilar in feeling to Charlie Blue or Silver, this one has a similar feeling to Gold. Warm, ambery and luscious. Cinammon, jasmine, clove... all seem to be present in this soft oriental. I use 'soft' to describe this because, to me, it doesn't paint a picture or illicit imagery of the orient. It's plasticky, sweet and complex... but not overly oriental.

I was searching for pineapple, but all I got was:
carrot + bright scarlet rose + sweetness of hard candy + multiwitamin + wet pavement.

Carrot changes into multiwitamin, and multiwitamin into a pavement after the rain.

It's like lighter version of Organza, with "carrot hard candy" instead "carmelized carrot in honey". Try it if you like Tresor, there is a lot of roses too.

This one is a truly complex one! It's so fruity and floral also has a nice sweet background and warm:) I agree that it has a "oldvibe" , but it's nice. I like this.
Why is this discounted? :(

It fills the room with one spray. For winter use because it's too sweet. I smell mostly pineapple in the beggining, a citric note and the drydown is mostly amber and cinnamon. Very warm with an "oldvibe".

This fragrance is very sweet and warm, the sillage and longevity on my skin are impressive. It radiates and surrounds you with notes of fruit, spices and woods. Feels retro and in my opinion is more suitable for evening wear.

I chose this perfume for my prom. I remember it made me feel like a queen, a true modern Marie Antoinette. It was rich, opulent, self indulgent. It fitted perfectly to my long lacy dress.
It was magnificent.
I remember that notes were blended so well, that it was hard to point out a single note. Just opulent sweetness, a fresh, fruity one, mixed with spicy cinnamon and carnation, and warm woods in the base. Florals were there but somehow blunted, at least that's what i remember. And it lasted forever.
If i have to color this scent, it was liquid gold.
I haven't seen this perfume for ages. Maybe it is discontinued, i don't know. But i' m not sure i even want to try it now, i prefer to keep my memories.

VERY complex! Flowers, fruit, and a strong underlying scent of rhubarb. Different and appealing daytime scent.

I really love this fragance it reminds me of how beautiful nature is. When I wear it, I feel so relaxed. Some of my friends complimented me when I wore this perfume. So this is really recommended. If you like the idea of traveling outside, looking out for the nature, this may be a good perfume for you!

Fragrance Review For Le Roy Soleil Salvador Dali

Top Notes:

Pineapple Mandarin Orange Bergamot Lemon Apple Papaya Brazilian Rosewood Rhubarb

Middle Notes:

Cyclamen Apricot Carnation Cinnamon Orchid Jasmine Lily of the Valley Rose

Base Notes:

Sandalwood Tonka Amber Patchouli Musk Vanilla Vetiver

First of all I love the design of the bottle. This is yet another one of those "show them off" type fragrances in your collection/wardrobe. Le Roi Soleil (don't know why they're calling it Roy) King Louis the 14th had an emblem created for him and it was the Sun with a male face. It was a sun symbol for the classical Greek sun god Apollo. Louis the 14th would dress up like Apollo during ballets performed at the court of Versailles. He fancied himself a French sun god and myriad statues of Apollo were built in the Gardens of Versailles. He believed he was the head of a new age of Enlightenment. As a Francophile and French history lover, I look for French perfumes with historic appeal like this one. I was very enchanted with this perfume.

At the first spritz of Roy Soleil, I was in Citrus Heaven. It's a fresh sunny summery burst of citric scents which include natural bergamot, sweet mandarin, and sharp lemon. The orange smells are a typical opening of unisex fragrances. Both women and men's fragrances have citrus openings. I maintain that this is unisex, not only because of the citruses but because those base notes are masculine: musk, patchouli, vetiver. It's like softer men's fragrance. But make no mistake. This is still a beautiful woman's perfume. The fruitiness in the top notes keep it so sweet and delicious enough for me to enjoy. It has papaya! It's hard to find papaya scents in fragrances. They're calling it papaya flower but it's papaya fruit. If you like fruity frags, this is a pretty cornucopia of fruits. It smells like walking into a banquet hall in Versailles where there is a large table with floral displays and tons of fruits: mandarin oranges, papaya, lemons and apples. The apple scent is there in the background and it starts to mingle with the rose that begins to bloom later on.

At the heart this fragrance has some sweet flowery smells: rose, jasmine, lily of the valley, carnation and orchid. Enough flowers to satisfy me, but the fruit scent dominates, in my opinion. The carnation tends to take over any floral accord in fragrance and it does so here. It's a lush carnation. It's accompanied by an exotic orchid, and a subtle lily of the valley. Mmm. In my imagination, when I smell the flowery scents in this perfume, I'm in the Gardens of Versailles when the sun is going down. I get whiffs of flowers and the late afternoon breezes blow through my hair, lifting up the floral fragrances into the air. It's a serene garden.

The dry down is a tad woodsy with sandalwood but it's mostly patchouli, aromatic, herbal, green. The patchouli is a good partner for flowers, even though one would think it wouldn't be. The green garden. It's herbal/floral. The patchouli here is not a weed but more like leaves that surround the flowers. Then at last you get a pleasant vanilla, which can also become just a bit powdery. This is such a beautiful well composed fragrance and it deserves more attention. It certainly got mine.

If you like citrus florals, fruity florals and vanilla, good looking bottles, and you have enjoyed wearing other Salvador Dali perfumes, particularly the ones in the fruity floral category such as Dalissime, you'll enjoy this one. This is nothing like the 1st Salvador Dali which was an intellectual musk similar to Paloma Picasso. This is a sweet, peaceful afternoon in Versailles. Very nice.

I have the scented soaps from Le Roy Soleil range and I love the fragrance. I want to try the edp/edt but I have been unable to find a sample. The soap fragrance is deeply satisfying with a complex rose that is never sweet, a vibrant tea, and something tangy and marine. Nothing like the notes listed in the fragrance so maybe I would be disappointed if I did try a sample. I guess I have to just enjoy the soap as a skin scent. The soaps sell very cheaply online. Under-priced in my opinion but hush let's keep that to ourselves ;-)

This is a unique fragrance and a new summer love for me. Even though it is an oriental I find it wearable for warm weather. Le Roy Soleil goes on your skin with boozy pineapples and rosewood. It's the aroma of the Hawaiian King Sun that brings forth bright sunshiny happiness.

My all time favourite.
The most beautiful perfume ever; I can`t even begin to describe it, it`s so multi-layared and refined, and utterly GORGEOUS.
Imagine a huge ball-room, with lights glittering and shimmering softly with a hint of mystery, with delicate, enchanting music in the air, not coming from any specific source, and the oniric atmosphere straight from a dream.
That`s what this fragrance is like for me.

I will never understand why they discontinued it.
My huge stash of all kinds of samples is a result of my attempts to find a suitable replacement.
Marina de Bourbon is close, but the sillage and the longevity cannot even be compared. Should anyone find anything even slightly similar, do share the knowledge please :)

I love this perfume. It is quite unique. In my opinion you can wear it all seasons. Unfortunately it is very very difficult to find. And if you do, it costs a fortune :( I have a little left in the bottle and wear it at special occasions.

Yohji and others have done such a fine job in describing Le Roy Soleil. To me, it is like sweet liquid gold. The pineapple is so beautiful and refreshing for summer. Wearing this inspired me this past weekend to grill some pineapple with honey, lemon juice and black pepper..... it was absolutely delicous! And it just went so well with Le Roy Soleil, hahaha! Great unique bottle. I am loving The Sun King. But why is his face so sad? He should be happy that so many love him!

King Sun is the most unique among unique ones of Salvador Dali. Its truly the King of this brand. It shines bright and projects optimism by his oriental soul .

Spiced, soaked in apricots and pineapples rosewood, exotic, intoxicating, warm, definitely boozy and life-asserting. If you like notes – this one will be your first choice and best combination.

Its south of Spain of course, the perfume of Barcelona, quirky as Gaudi buildings, very Art Nouveau.

The perfume bottle was designed by Salvador Dali at the request of the Schiaparelli company, and made by Baccarat. It is one of the most famous and valuable perfume bottles ever produced by an artist.

Le Roy Soleil opens with a fruity-balsamic blast. The combo is very strong, sharp, to me even harsh at the beginning due to (what I perceive as) bounty of pineapple and other fruits and the various resinous/woody/hearty components. It is a potent stuff with an aptitude to become toxic if used in excess. Or so I thought. And then I asked my fellow passengers in a car what they thought and they said that they couldn't smell anything! :-D Goes to show again how differently we experience fragrances. This concentrated optimism, "bigger than life liquid" is very feminine and somehow glamorous and lush (although perhaps not as strong as I thought) and I can see why it's loved by many. The drydown is deep, mellow and somehow sensuous and as someone else mentions here - every now and then I catch a whiff of sour cherries or something "cherry-like" that makes this fragrance even more attractive to me, a cherry lover.

It was 1997 and I was in London with my future (now ex) husband. I was 20 years old, and a college student back in the united states. He dragged me into Selfridges, saying that his mum would sample perfumes and cosmetics there when she was my age. I saw the bottle, the Dali signature, smelled the most divine scent I had ever experienced, and charged an unthinkable sum onto my credit card for a bottle of perfume. Although I associate this fragrance with a very specific time of my life, the fragrance and it's own story looms larger for me. When I tracked down a second bottle in San Francisco in the mid 00s at a fancy french perfumerie here in San Francisco, I had no idea that it would be discontinued the next time I came around to needing one. Truthfully, my 1.7 oz EDP still has a way to go, but now that I know it is so rare I am in a panic to get more. This fragrance will haunt me for my entire life. It is so complex, so changeable, adult, sexy, glamorous and beautiful. I'd be happy if this was the only fragrance I could ever wear (and had an unlimited supply). I am currently seeking my next signature fragrance, and thanks to Fragrantica I am now researching notes and classic fragrances that are similar to this one. I know it is very unique, however, and I will always have my own love story to go along with the tales inside of the bottle.

Edit: I managed to score a 1.7 oz slightly used LRS Parfum de toilet (which is very concentrated, like the one I already own) on eBay for $32 including shipping, so it's not impossible to get more of this. Just keep your eyes peeled.

Also in my recent explorations I think that oddly, Bob Mackie Mackie has a similar drydown to our beloved LRS. It's certainly not identical and Mackie does not smell as dreamy or refined, but it does have a similar shape to it. Also, it's dirt cheap, so give it a try.

Smells almost identical to Marina Bourbon's signature scent!

I received this in a Legends gift set for my birthday. Overall, I really like it! The rosewood hit me first and hard. It reminds me of my mother's old hope chest and all of the treasures she kept inside. Next, I get the cinnamon, lemon and rose notes. Then the patchouli, tonka bean and sandal wood. They're all there, distinct from one another, but very complimentary. It's a lovely combination and it certainly stands apart from other perfumes on the market. It's very woody and musky, but the citrus and floral make it feminine. Maybe it's the rose and musk together, but I have to say this scent is kind of... mature. Definitely not for the under 20 crowd. Sillage is quite perfect for the scent, it's noticeable but not overwhelming. Longevity, on the other hand, left something to be desired. It's pretty much gone within 2 hours. I'll definitely make this a special occasion perfume;It's versatile and could be worn day or night. I think it would be appropriate for professional conferences, something to make one memorable and in a good way (so long as one doesn't wear too much).

I bought this fragrance because I quite liked the quirky little bottle and because of it's association with the great Salvador Dali. It had sat unopened in a box for several years until my cat one day knocked over the box and brought it to my attention.

Not having any great expectations, I opened the bottle and to my total amazement was instantly engulphed in a wave of fragrance that seemed like a ray of sunlight had broken out from behind a bunch of clouds. This scent is totally unlike any other that I have experienced.

Sweet, boozy, syrupy, fruity, powdery, spicy, warm, playful, musky,floral,woody...... Boy is there a lot going on here. Six kinds of fruit and one vegetable. Oh, but the sweet sunny pineapple seems dominant throughout the first two stages.

Every time that I think this fragrance is starting to turn cloying, that cheery pineapple perks up again. This is an oily, extremely rich fragrance, but brilliantly sunlit. It's not tropical, I'm not really sure that it can be categorized. It is quite a heady scent. It is gorgeous but also a bit intimidating.

My bottle is parfum. The longevity on me is 10+ hours and the sillage is moderately heavy. I could not wear this fragrance everyday, but I can't wait to pull it out on a cold rainy February day and see if it will bring that intense sunlight to brighten up my day!

It is of interest to note that this fragrance brings incredibly high prices on Ebay for concentrations less than parfum. As this lovely fragrance is discontinued, this is one to be on the lookout for. If you don't like the fragrance, someone else will be willing to buy it.

Update 8-20-2013

If what I read in Vogue Magazine online in a profile on the life of the designer Elsa Schiaparelli is true, this perfume was actually launched as a collaborative effort between Salvadore Dali and Ms. Schiaparellli under Schiaparelli parfums in 1947. Salvador Dali was a great friend of Ms. Schiaparelli's and the two often collaborated on various fashions and accessories. Her famous bird hat is one of their well known collaborations.

Now that I think about it, I do recall seeing the same bottle with a fragrance of the same name also bearing Ms.Schiaparelli's name with comments about the Salvadore Dali bottle design in older Schiaparelli fragrance auctions.

I finally got another big bottle of this delicious scent. I'm so happy and i will treasure it very much! LOL

A very grandiose bottle and a fantastic perfume!

There is nothing out there that i have smelled that even comes close to Salvador Dali's Le Roy Soleil. It had such a wonderfully balanced blend of fruity sweet high notes that were very well grounded with amber and sandalwood. Oh how i miss it! =(

U can follow me on YouTube @ BeautyOnSale

One of the most unique scents ever!!! Very fruity and once you've had it on for a while the sweetness and fruitiness balances out beautifully :) I am very careful with this as I know it's not being made anymore...so it only comes out for special occasions in the warmer months. I'm lucky enough to have the EDP (not the EDT) so it's lasting very well. Whenever I have this on I get so many compliments :)

Sweet nectar perfume! Indescribable, a very exotic blend of fruits and a woody touch ... Very sensual, great for the summer ... I wish I could buy back ... Only Yvresse by Yves Saint Laurent compares to this! Surreal as a work of Salvador Dali!

a beautiful real fragrance from the times when real perfumes were about to end..and ofcourse as all good things in life they get discountinued ..
i can smell so much carnaion and carnation seeds ..its full in the base with tonaka bean vanila amber patchuli and the heart is full of fruty notes papayabergamont apple green mandarin orange apricos and rhubub ! there is also cinamn musk and vetiver..its a complex perfume with many accords
a warm sensual oriental spicy woodsy strange basket of frutes but as you leave frutes outside for a couple of days the room gets that strange smell to me i smell this smell..

I cannot believe they discontinued this masterpiece. What a unique perfume!!! sniff sniff.

Love it!!! The smell is so different from other perfumes I have. It is strong and long lasting, gives you a strong self confident and sexy personnality. It is so feminine and sophisticated. You can't tell that smell dominates, the fruity, spicy or woody. I wish it wasn't discontinued. Really would love to have another bootle of it.

Le Roy Soleil is strange and definitely unique. I have never, before or after this scent, found anything similar. And this was also one of those perfumes I first disliked. But live and learn.

Soleil opens with a burst of very ripe (even over...) apricot (not a typical peach!) and pineapple in a wooden bowl. Mandarin and orange are also there but disappear rather soon.

You know that awkward feeling when wondering if everything is okay. And when trying this perfume first time I was wondering. But ten minutes later I took a sigh of relief, everything WAS okay! The bottle was not old with bad gone fruits, withered flowers and rotten wood. Unlike in real life, odours of "organic matter" got here better and better, fresher also - which is hard to believe :-D

So, after the initial shock I was sniffing an extraordinary and different perfume with fruits and flowers: carnation, cyklamen and orchid; that is, something tender but spicy. (To me it is difficult to separate notes here very accurately, which is a case in many older perfumes. The number of ingredients and the skill of blending, I would say...) But anyway apricot was still there, perky and alert, leading the whole procession along the lane in the park, where bark of the old trees added roundness and pleasant dryness to everything else.

So, making a long story short(er), when times went by, notes mingled and softened to a wonderful, bright and sunny experience. Longevity was remarkable as was sillage.

That was my first date with Le Roy Soleil. Afterwards we have met many times, and I like it ("him" in this case? ;-) better and better. Nowadays this juice makes me smile every time I wear it!

This beautifull perfume is between "Obsession" and "Opium" with lots of cinnamon. So you can imagine how it is...Smiles!!

My all time favourite! I´m almost finished with my third bottle and i´m very sad that this excellent perfume has been discontinued for several years and i can´t find me another bottle anymore. Crying because i get never tired of this loud and very soapy and strong scent but so addictive!

A very disappointing smell for me. I thought it would be posh, since everybody's after it, but I found it really bleak and repelling, Simply not my taste, I guess. :-/

I have had a sample of this forever and today I decided to try it properly. I found out that this is truly amazing scent. Oh I love it. Why did it take so long to find it out. This scent is like a comforting fairytale that is true! This reminds me of those times when scents differed from each other. It was in 1995 that I got obsessed with scents. I'm really disappointed that scents of today are so similar and weak in comparison to the masterpieces of that time. More and more releases per year and poorer quality. Feels like the perfume houses are underestimating the lovers of perfumes...
Anyway, this is unique spicy perfection that I will be looking for to get the whole bottle.

EDIT I found an almost full 50 ml bottle of this from flea market for 2 euros. How lucky can a girl get?

The best perfume i have ever had, very unique...i still wonder why did it stopped

Wish I knew where I could get more ..I wore it for years after buying in Tampa Florida at the Salvador Dali Gallery. Absolutely loved it........

The base is too strong and masculine for me, it could be a unisex scent?

It's been many years since I've seen it on the shelves for the last time and I think it's been discontinued.(the only S.Dali perfumes I've found here in Greeece is Laguna and Dalimania).It's a strange,but alluring perfume.I wanted to buy it but somehow I'd changed my mind.It's not exactly oriental or woody-oriental:maybe both of them or nothing.

I don`t know whats wrong with this fragrance, but it`s not good. I got a bottle as a gift, and I couldn`t stand the smell.

This vintage gem reminds me of white wine. The luscious fruits are boozy. The enticing floral and stone fruit are lightly spiced by the cinnamon. The scent is kept anchored by the woody notes.

This scent doesn't want to go to work. It's lazy and lingering. It wants to meander through shops or read a book on the veranda of a vineyard.

Sunripened fruits basking on a dry wooden bench, right on opening! Such a cheerful surprise in contrast to the sombre expression on the bottle.

Then spicy cinnamon trounces in, but its spark leaves all too quickly from the surface of my skin. However, I still detect its sweetness in combination with the wonderful bouquet of flowers.

Warm balmy apricot with an earthy base is what remains on my skin. Beautiful and fleshy, almost with a delicious eroticism--most decidedly Dali.

Thank you Chat Lunatique for giving me the opportunity to sample this lovely vintage.

I love, love, love it!!!
Spicy, bright, feminine, a little bit oriental and powerfull - just like King The Sun. For independent content and happy women.
Very long lasting on my skin, on clothes till wasching.
Le Roy Soleil on the top og the bottle is sad, but the fragrance is optimistic and unique. Anytime - for me - perfect.
just: perfect!

Thanks to nanano, I have a little bit of this heavenly perfume! It is very 'Dali-ish', something wearable but different than anything else. Staying power is okay, compared to other ones. It is warm, juicy and spicy, but in a watery way (which is positive here!). I agree the drydown is a tad musky here. I feel really sunny and special when wearing this, just like a sunbeam!

this is quite OK. Mostly I get roses and citruses somehow with a boozy upbeat (reminds me of cognac). Quite strong scent.

The drydown is very sensual indeed, someone quoted cherries and I agree with that (although later on there is a little plastic smell but still good).

I finally got a mini of this because I love most of Dali's fragrances, and this is certainly no exception! Other reviewers have described it very well so I will be brief: on my skin, Le Roy Soleil is very much like Vivienne Westwood's Libertine, except LRS's pineapple is fresh and juicy and its florals are bright and sunny, whereas the VW has a musky undertone. This is the only fragrance I've found that even remotely resembles Libertine...so I had to point it out! :)

Potent stuff! Very very strong so be sure to use a light hand!

On opening it is sweet, fruity (tropical, mostly pineapple), and fresh. It's like taking a deep breath of the sunshine on a warm spring day.

As it progresses I get the lily of the valley and jasmine which add to the brightness.

After approximately 20 minutes it starts to deepen when rose, sandalwood and amber arrive.

What's interesting is I don't get any of the spice or patchouli. It's a very sunny floral fruity composition without too much sweetness on my skin.

For me it's a perfect spring/early summer fragrance.

Very pleasant uplifting summer scent. I imagine myself at a summer garden party, wearing a flowery dress (which I don't have, but nevermind) and drinking white wine. Fruity, sweet and happy!

From this perfume I have the vintage and the new one, and in THIS case the new one is better! It is much stronger, which I like better! That is rarely the case however, 95% of all perfumes that are reformulated is better in the original format.
good luck!

Something really funny, Nilang by Lalique is quite resembling this one. The funny thing about it, is that the notes suggest entirely different perfumes! I have them both and they remind me of eachother!

Best perfume ever!! so romantic, floral and deep smell. I just can't get enough of it.. unbelievable!!

also owned it, but then in the perfume pen version..back then it was quite strong, it had a good sillage power *_* almost sickening when i used a few spritzes too much

I was lucky to catch the old version of this now rare and expensive perfume. I like it. It opens on my skin with fruity notes, and then come some leather and bitter notes. I like Dahli perfumes for their expressivity and individuality. They are not for young girls younger than 20-25. LRS is softer than Daliflor and Dalissime from my collection. Long lasting.

wow - this one is really nice. opening is quite spicy - nowadays it could be assign as unisex. unfortunatly for me ;) middle and base notes are rather femine. anyway very good scent

My favorite, but hard to find. I've just ordered some soaps in desperation.

One of my all time favourites, although tragically now very difficult to find - even Strawberry Net see to have run out, and I am down to my last bottle. On the skin, it is extraordinarily complex, starting out as a quite sweet oriental floral, including a rather fruity rose, which quickly becomes much more earthy, dry and spicy, with little hints of all kinds of things, which makes it very hard to describe in comparison to other fragrances. A friend of mine who tried it on remarked on how it kept releasing waves after wave of different notes over time, as though it were telling a story. Very long lasting, and could be treated as unisex, it would smell great on most men, I suspect. The men's version is perhaps rather too dry for most tastes, although it must sell well, as it is still available

one of the best scents that i did smell until now... wonderful... enchanting... feminine... sophisticated... distinctive... delightful ... a masterpiece¡¡¡

Reminds me of the tropics - a great choice for summer! Fresh, breezy, and natural. Very fruity/marine opening dries down to a sweet, spicy base. A good one to take on holiday. Fantastic bottle, too! Unfortunately, I can't wear it (bothers my sinuses), but it's still good.

the point about it is that you may find it suitable for all of the seasons and the spicy taste of it.between the fruits I smell something like cherry,although I see here that cherry is not in its bases.
