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 is a polarising green floral, evoking strong reactions from 'horrid' to 'addictive'. Its 'sweaty hothouse' vibe either captivates with its vintage charm or repels with a 'pickle' or 'laundry detergent' harshness. Not one for a blind buy.

Occasions
