Dahlia Noir

by François Demachy

Givenchy Dahlia Noir is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2011, created by François Demachy. The fragrance opens with Mimosa, Bergamot, Mandarin, and Pink Pepper, settles into a heart of Rose, Iris, and Patchouli, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Oakmoss, Tonka Bean, and Vanilla.

Our verdict on Dahlia Noir: Favourite

This is a love-it-or-hate-it powder bomb that gets its 'noir' from a melancholic retro vibe rather than outright darkness. If you want expensive baby powder with a subtly seductive edge, this is your jam.

Its moderate sillage and comforting, clean powdery nature make it suitable for office and casual wear, though some find it's too 'sexy' for work. The elegant, warm dry-down makes it a strong contender for date nights, but its lack of overt formality means it's less suited to very formal events.

About

Dahlia Noir opens with a hint of bright mandarin and a subtle kick of pink pepper, swiftly softening into a rich, powdery heart. Iris takes centre stage, lending a refined, slightly dusty quality, beautifully interwoven with a tender rose. The dry down is a warm, creamy embrace of sandalwood and vanilla, with just a whisper of patchouli and oakmoss adding a classic, grounding depth.
