Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Dahlia Noir

Givenchy Dahlia Noir EDT is divisive, prompting cries of 'Oh my!' juxtaposed with shrugs of 'Meh.' Often described as soft and polite, it's a safe bet for those who prefer their fragrance on the demure side, though many find it lacks punch and originality. An ideal choice for those who love understated elegance while others will desire something more impactful.

Statement

Our Verdict - Adonis Awakens

This one's a divisive one, blending fresh rose with a sweet, almost laundry-like quality that some adore and others find rather synthetic. It's truly a love-it-or-hate-it kind of scent, so definitely sample before you commit.

Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Occasions

Best For:

Office Casual

Also Works:

Date

Its soft sillage and discreet nature make it perfect for office wear or casual outings, where it's unlikely to offend. The lack of longevity and bold projection keeps it from being a strong contender for formal events or dates, though its clean and elegant profile could work for an understated date night.

Office Formal

Given its impressive projection and longevity, Adonis Awakens is best suited for social settings where it can truly shine without overpowering. It's too prominent for most office environments, but perfect for a date or a casual evening out. Some find it suitable for formal wear, due to its elegance, whilst its strength and sweet notes make it unsuitable for sport.
