Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - In Black Eau de Parfum

This one is a real love-it-or-hate-it affair. For some, it's a smoky, boozy, black cherry dream; for others, a cloying, synthetic headache in a bottle. Blind buy at your peril - this dark beauty demands a test sniff.

Our Verdict - Dahlia Divin Eau de Toilette

Givenchy's Dahlia Divin EDT is a crowd-pleasing fruity floral that offers a younger, sweeter take on its EDP sibling. It's often lauded for its surprising potency for an EDT, though some find it a bit too sweet or generic. If you're after a flirty, feminine scent, this one's definitely worth a sniff.

Season and Occasion Fit

In Black Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

Also Works:

Spring Summer

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:

Date

Also Works:

Formal

Its potent projection and unique, dark sweetness make In Black less suitable for polite office wear, but perfect for dates where you want to make a statement. The rich, almost boozy, and often polarising character isn't ideal for casual daytime use or sport, but could work for formal evening events.

Dahlia Divin Eau de Toilette

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Autumn

Also Works:

Summer

Built for the cooler edges of the year - spring and autumn pair best.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Casual

Also Works:

Office Formal

Its sweet, prominent fruity and white floral accords, combined with reports of good sillage for an EDT, make it wonderful for dates and casual wear. It leans too strong for formal office settings, but can be managed with a lighter hand for other professional environments. It's not suited for sport due to its rich, sweet profile.
