Givenchy Dahlia Noir is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2011, created by François Demachy. Dahlia Noir opens with Bergamot, Mandarin, Mimosa, and Pink Pepper, settles into a heart of Patchouli, Rose, and Iris, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Oakmoss, Vanilla, and Tonka Bean. Givenchy's Dahlia Noir carries a Favourite verdict, a powdery-led wear.

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.
