Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Flower by Kenzo Eau de Toilette

This one's a divisive shapeshifter. Some swear by its light, clean charm and innocent powderiness; others find it an overly powdery mess or, inexplicably, a citrusy horror story. It's not a safe blind buy, despite what some might claim. Try it before you commit.

Our Verdict - Dahlia Noir Eau de Toilette

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.

Date Sport

Its generally light projection and clean, inoffensive profile make it ideal for office wear and casual settings, as many reviewers noted its 'invisible' quality. While some find it too subtle for formal events, its gentle floral-musk could work for a relaxed date, though it's unlikely to make a bold statement.

Date

Its soft sillage and discreet nature make it perfect for office wear or casual outings, where it's unlikely to offend.
