Dahlia Divin Eau de Toilette
by Givenchy
This eau de toilette is a bright, youthful fruity floral with a soft, velvety core. It opens with juicy blood orange, peach, and black currant, creating a fresh, slightly tart sweetness that feels approachable and harmonious. The heart blends jasmine and rose into a powdery, gentle floral accord, balanced by vanilla and musk, giving it an elegant, creamy feel without turning cloying. As it settles, a warm base of sandalwood, patchouli, and musk develops, adding depth and a subtle exotic sensuality. The fragrance feels refined and wearable across seasons, especially during spring and autumn. It evokes a sense of gentle femininity, akin to Miss Dior Cherie or Coco Mademoiselle, with a classy, playful twist—ideal for daytime wear or romantic occasions. Despite being traditionally labeled as an EDT, it projects moderately and feels richer than expected, though longevity is modest, with most users reporting it lasts up to three hours.
