Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Dahlia Divin EDP
Dahlia Divin is Givenchy's answer to the mainstream 'fruitchouli' trend: a well-balanced, elegant take on a popular style. While it's largely considered classy and pleasant, some find it a bit too unoriginal and fleeting to truly stand out. It's a gold-standard 'safe' scent.
Favourite
Our Verdict - No.494 Silver Rain Parfum
Eden's take on La Prairie's Silver Rain leans harder into the blackberry-apple opening than the original, and the oud-vanilla base runs sweeter and louder rather than the original's more restrained, blended dry-down.
