Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - So Blue Eau de Parfum

This one's a proper head-scratcher. Some reckon it's a classy aquatic rose, a clean shampoo-esque scent. Others write it off as overly sweet, too feminine for a bloke, or just a bit boring. It's truly a 'love it or hate it' affair, often sparking arguments in online forums about its gender suitability.

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.

Also Works:

Date

Its soft sillage and discreet nature make it perfect for office wear or casual outings, where it's unlikely to offend. The lack of longevity and bold projection keeps it from being a strong contender for formal events or dates, though its clean and elegant profile could work for an understated date night.
