Which Should You Buy?
Kenzo's Jeu d'Amour l'Elixir is a divisive one. You'll either find it a sexy, boozy, blackberry jam dream, or a forgettable, overly sweet, cough syrup concoction. Definitely not a safe blind buy, so test it on your skin first.
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
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Its strong sweetness and boozy notes make it unsuitable for an office setting and a poor choice for sport. However, its 'sexy' and 'seductive' nature, frequently mentioned in reviews, makes it ideal for dates and evening formal events, especially in cooler weather where its warmth can shine.
Seasons
Built for the cooler edges of the year - spring and autumn pair best.
Occasions
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.
Similarity Breakdown
Both share Fruity, Citrus, Woody accords and Jasmine, Sandalwood notes
