Which Should You Buy?
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.
This "tender" devil divides opinion. Some find it a beautifully blended, soft rose; others, a generic and overpriced offering for a niche house. It's a lovely scent, but be prepared for a skin scent and make sure it doesn't remind you of something cheaper.
