Dahlia Divin
Givenchy (2014)

This fragrances is sweet, REALLY SWEET, and that is exactly what's wrong with fragrances nowadays. It turns my stomach.
It smells synthetic peaches and aldehydes.... and maybe some vainilla.
It has no character, no personality, no risk.
Is like the people-pleaser of perfumes.

I love this fragrance! There's something very sensual, elegant and ultra-feminine about it. I bought a miniature 5 ML splash bottle to try it out. I instantly fell in love and bought a 50 ML bottle. The notes are so well blended into a smooth, creamy floral elixir. I can't stop sniffing my wrist! This is my first Givenchy fragrance, and I'll be looking at other creations from this house!

Dahlia Divin is a modern chic combination of creamy-plummy white flowers, patchouli and sandalwood. Sambac jasmine provides a glamour-lush spark as connected with plums and balmy sandalwood. I detect the Givenchy's X factor (which I get for instance in Ange ou Demon or Very Irresistible too) which smells like a sort of soapy-pharmaceutical and chic "mintiness" (something anisic and angular) hidden somewhere. Dry down is woody and with a vetiver elegant touch. Really floral and feminine. Plums, vanilla and woods provide a final dose of warmth well associated with a sparkling-fresh floral "trendy club-like" touch. A classy and modern synthetic "twist" from Francois Demachy (in any case nothing particularly original or groundbreaking).
