Givenchy Dahlia Noir Le Bal is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2013, created by François Demachy. Dahlia Noir Le Bal opens with Lemon and Peach, settles into a heart of Rose and Pink Pepper, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Sandalwood, and Vanilla. Givenchy's Dahlia Noir Le Bal carries a Statement verdict, a sweet-led wear.

Pleasant but ultimately forgettable, this powdery rose just doesn't quite hit the mark. It's nice enough, but don't expect it to turn heads or leave a lasting impression.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Its soft sillage and moderate longevity make it suitable for close-quarters like the office or casual settings. It's a bit too understated for formal events and lacks the zest for sport.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Citral Geranial from Lemon
  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Dahlia Noir Le Bal opens with a brief fizz of lemon before settling into a soft, slightly sweet embrace of rose and peach. The powdery accord quickly comes to the fore, mingling with a creamy sandalwood and a subtle, clean musk. There's a whisper of pink pepper for a touch of warmth, but it's largely overshadowed by the dominant floral-powdery heart, ending in a gentle, warm vanilla dry down.
