Which Should You Buy?
Givenchy's Dahlia Divin Le Nectar is absolute class in a bottle. Despite being discontinued (a travesty, say fans), it's a beautifully blended, warm floral that smells expensive and draws compliments. Some find it a bit too sweet and powdery, others complain about performance, but the consensus is overwhelmingly positive.
This one's a proper head-scratcher. Some reckon it's a sublime post-rain garden, others are getting musty old florals or even 'stale urinoir'. It's definitely not for everyone, but if you love creamy, waxy ylang-ylang and musk, you might just fall hard for its unique artistry.

Occasions
Its soft sillage and moderate longevity make it suitable for close-quarters like a date or casual wear without being overwhelming. It's too quiet for formal events and totally unsuitable for sport, but could work in a relaxed office environment if applied lightly.
