Givenchy Dahlia Noir L’ is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2013, created by François Demachy. Dahlia Noir L’ opens with Green, Lemon, Grapefruit, and Neroli, settles into a heart of Rose and Peony, and dries down to a base of Musk, Cedar, Patchouli, and Amberwood. Givenchy's Dahlia Noir L’ carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

A divisive scent where many users praise its freshness, clean character, and elegant warmth, others found it sharp, soapy, and fleeting. It's truly a 'try before you buy' as skin chemistry plays a huge role here.

Its fresh, clean, and subtle projection makes it ideal for office and casual wear. While some found it long-lasting, the prevailing sentiment of it being a 'skin scent' suggests it won't overwhelm in formal settings but might lack the desired impact for a date.

About

Dahlia Noir L'Eau opens with a zingy yet deep citrus blast of lemon, grapefruit, and neroli, underpinned by vibrant green notes. As it settles, delicate rose and powdery peony emerge, adding a touch of feminine grace. The drydown reveals a sophisticated woody-musky base, where cedar and amberwood create a subtle warmth, rounded out by a hint of earthy patchouli.
