Givenchy Dahlia Noir is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2012, created by François Demachy. Dahlia Noir opens with Lemon, Mandarin, and Peach, settles into a heart of Rose, Pink Pepper, and Hedione, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Cedar, and Sandalwood. Givenchy's Dahlia Noir carries a Statement verdict, a citrus-led wear.

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.

About

Opens with a bright, juicy burst of peach and citrus, leading into a creamy, soft rose heart with a gentle tickle of pink pepper. The base settles into a comforting, powdery blend of sandalwood, amber, and vanilla, rounded off with a subtle musky warmth. It's a delicate and airy floral-fruity musk that evokes a subtle sophistication.
