Wonderful juice! I’m baffled! A white floral fragrance that blows me away is something that happens very seldom.
This perfume is golden. That’s the word I can think of to describe it. The featured ad pictures are perfectly matching its aura. Not overly complex, yet incredibly refined and luxurious. You get a good amount of sandalwood and a little dab of sweetness but I wouldn’t brand this as “fruitchouli” at all.
My biggest complain is the weak longevity. You have to douse yourself in this beauty to be able to enjoy it.

To me this is like mixing Si with Jimmy Choo. It has a strange citrus,green note that I have only found on my Beverly Hills 90210 Energy. Drydown could be called “Fendi Esprit”.

So this is what they call chypre today…
This is what I call a perfect example of everything that’s wrong with perfume mass production today.
This one smells like just about anything that’s been displayed around for the last… oh, who nows how long.
This is also the reason I don’t enter chain perfume shops any more, because I know what I may expect – this.
And they really didn’t have to bother with an “avanguarde” list of notes. I mean mirabelle… whatever. It still smells whatever. Sticky sweet and depressingly generic. It has an intriguing name – I’ll give it that much credit. And the famous family name… yet I’d be embarrassed to be caught wearing this. Well maybe not if I was 19.
But I’d definitely be most embarassed if I had to put my name on it. Givenchy and Demachy should do better. But hey, if Armani could have a Si sold out in all of its forms, then this actually seams a smart move. Or whoever did it first.

To me this one is comparable to Miss Dior Absolutely Blooming in that it has a very prominent bubblegum sort of a scent to it. While the Dior one smells like an original pink bubblegum on my skin, Dahlia Divin has a more tropical bubblegum scent to it. I love both of them pretty equally but Dahlia Divin seems to have slightly better sillage on my skin.

On me, it does not smell as sweet fruity or floral fragrance at all. It is just very gentle and elegant as “SWEET wood” from start to finish (if there is such a thing). I guess the “sweet” vibe MUST be coming from the fruits (mirabelle, peach), and flowers (jasmine, lily-of-the-valley) all together. I did not detect much of patchouli, and that is a plus.
Latest update: I tried it again and this time I COULD smell sweet mirabelle (got toned down by patchouli), just enough peach (as it was combined with green apple) and soft jasmine (with a hint of lily-of-the-valley)…The sweetness came forward, and it was divine on my skin…The smell is elegant, expensive, and LUXURIOUS with all the notes combined. I’m lucky to have just the right chemistry with this one, as well as with the Le Nectar.
BTW, the EDT is a great find as well. Sillage and longevity are awesome! I think I’m addicted to this whole Dahlia Divin line 🙂

Just finished my sample vial. Luxurious and full-bodied, a well made perfume.
I´m into more ethereal, airy scents, but this is a very balanced fragrance. Sweet but not sickening, powdery without being old-fashioned.
I feel like this is an evening, fall-winter perfume. Too rich and warm to be a staple during the hot, humid italian summer.
Wear and sillage are good.

It might be my body chemistry, but this smells fruity and so absolutely boring on me. It smell super generic – even celebrity fragrances are often more interesting that this. I also cannot notice any layers to it, weirdly enough, except maybe the rose… I don’t know why this seems to be such a wah-waaaahhh scent on me when many other people seem to like i :/ My mom says it’s woody and flowery on her, but on me, I can’t even smell the wood – no clue about what’s going on…!

Dahlia Divin by Givenchy popped up on my radar as a bridal fragrance suggestion on this forum. Givenchy has many beautiful fragrances in their line-up yet in the current, ever-expanding fragrance market, this is one brand you don’t hear much about anymore.
Dahlia Divin is a beautifully composed, buttery white floral. The best thing about Dahlia Divin is that it would suit just about anyone. It opens with a luscious blend of jasmine, orange blossom, vanilla, and a dash of sparkling citrus. As the scent settles, the fragrance deepens with notes of rich patchouli, white musk and sandalwood.
Dahlia Divin is a Spring and Autumn scent for me. It suits those in-between seasons when it is neither too hot nor too cool. You could also dress this scent up or dress it down, depending on your mood. It has an air of elegance that would make it perfect for a formal setting, such as a wedding, (whether you’re the bride or a guest).
I am also rather impressed by the sillage and longevity. Dahlia Divin lasted approximately seven hours on my skin, the last wearing being a relatively warm, summery day. I am keen to test this fragrance further over the coming months. It was an unexpected, yet pleasant discovery stumbling upon this underrated Givenchy scent.

I had this beauty on my wishlist for more than 2 years and this year I received it as a birthday gift! This beauty is quite balanced in sweetness. It has a pinch of flowerin it and is all in all a classy yet modern scent!! Love love love it but its longevity and sillage isnt as u would expect.
ممکنه با دیدن اینهمه نوت مختلف فکر کنید چه شلم شورباییه ولی باور کنید به قدری زیبا بالانس شده که بی نظیره. میوه ها و گل ها به زیبایی در کنار هم قرار گرفتن و شیرینیش با یه کم ترشی دلچسب همراه. ژیوونشی دالیا دیوا یه عطر بهاری بی نظیره که ایکاش پخش و موندگاریشم به همین اندازه لذت بخش بود

After wearing this a little more recently, I’d like to change my original review. It is a definite skin fragrance, that isn’t overpowering or too in your face. My original complaint about it not being very long lasting, comes from the fact most of my fragrance collection is very in your face scents and very strong scents. However, having sprayed this after a warm bath before bed, I was able to truly appreciate the beauty of this fragrance.

Boring.
It’s a nice fragrance. Has the signature Givenchy class, but they have so many other perfumes worth buying before this.

poddubnij – 2022-06-30:

This is my second favorite perfume of all time. I can see why some think it a boring fragrance, with the simple and spare notes, but it’s deceptively complex and elegantly restrained. It’s floral, woody, creamy, and slightly fruity. It’s sweet, but not gourmand which is good, because I loathe smelling like candy or cookies. The jasmine in this is exquisite, and mixed with the buttery smooth sandalwood…it’s just breathtaking. I haven’t seen a pairing of these 2 notes mixed so well since Guerlain’s Samsara, the pre-reformulated one. In fact this perfume actually reminds me of Samsara (my very first and favorite perfume), if you removed the powdery iris and the tonka vanilla aspects. I know, it’s ridiculous because they smell nothing alike as a whole, but my brain smells Dahlia and thinks Samsara in the middle of its dry down; after the ylang-ylang, citrus, and rose have worn off, but before the iris, tonka and vanilla have come in to play. I know this perfume is sometimes considered a “fruitchouli” but I heartily disagree with that. Yes, there’s a fruit, jasmine, and patchouli like the other ones that abound in dept stores, but my nose just can’t see the resemblance. To me, this just smells like a pared down woody oriental. The sillage on this perfume starts off moderately strong, but after an hour it tones down to a 3 foot bubble range. The lasting power is strong though, especially on fabric. I took my winter coat out of storage this fall and it still smelled of Dahlia when I took it out of the bag, and it had been dry cleaned before being put in! I get a lot of compliments when I wear this, men and women alike.

Pre-reformulation: I really love the opening of this perfume! Mirabelles grow everywhere here and it’s such an unpretentious fruit, so when I’ve met this perfume I laughed, but it smells amazing! It’s a fresh type of sweet and it boosts my mood, until the dry down…which, on my skin, is so sad… It becomes like cat pee. I wonder why… I have good experience with other fragrances that share these notes, even from the same house.

jnh652Diobtetty – 2022-06-30:

A creamy, delicate, feminine, beautiful scent. It triggered my memory the first time i tried it, i think that’s because to me it’s almost like J’Adore and Alien had a baby, and i have worn both of them in the past. Longevity is pretty good and the sillage is soft on my skin. Not sure what kind of occasion it suits. I would say it is innofensive, but I wouldn’t wear it to the office because it feels more special than an everyday scent.

zubitskyi – 2022-06-30:

What is it that we want a perfume to be ? What makes a perfume special to us and objectively what does special really mean ? Well, these are some of the questions I often wonder with myself and I believe others also do. Special itself encloses a very subjective consideration but when I smelt this perfume I couldn’t help but assign to it this adjective. Some might not agree andI don’t pretend they would but in my own believe Dahlia Divin is so divine and special in an objective point of view. This pefume is well-crafted and well-thought. I don’t know why I imagine that Master Perfumer Francois Demachy thought the formula really carefully in his mind before applying it in reality. It seems like the creator put his ”heart” in this fragrance, like he knew the character of a woman and what she really liked, what she universally considered ”special” and in return he offered the lady the final formula – Dahlia Divin.
White flowers combined with jasmine, patchouli, vetiver and sandalwood is not a novelty in the perfume world nor innovative or a new breathtaking formulation. What adds to this perfume its glorious and timeless beauty is the Mirabelle note which I discovered is the scientific name of the plum tree that grew in the garden of my house when I was little and ate uncountable quantities of. Here comes the subjectivity – I feel nostalgy and melancholy about good old times when I was little and was growing up thoughtless and regardless about what the future would bring. At the end, this is what childhood is for – to live each day like it was the most special day of your life and like tomorrow was very far away or wouldn’t even come. I still remember how juicy this plum was, yes it was a small, round fruit with and astonishing yellow colour that it almost made you feel pitty eating it. And it had just the right amount of sweetness and tartness in it which made the juice so delicious. Mirabelle Plum is always a delight only this time it presents itself as an olfactory delight than a palate one. It balances the fragrance between sweet and sour and it confers that incredible juicy feeling. It’s like tasting the perfume with your nose. And it’s so upbringing and classy at the same time. Enjoy it.

Fresh bouquet of white flowers, the sharp opening doesn’t last long. It’s pretty and light, but not my type of fragrance. I tried it only because I fell head over heels in love with Dahlia Noir. To me it doesn’t have depth.

pokcbivSAZi – 2022-06-30:

A rich, sweet, woody white floral with a light patchouli undertone that smells amazing! Unfortunately, projection sucks – cue sobbing emoji. The opening is strong and fierce, but it almost immediately softens to a skin scent. Longevity is okay, maybe 4-6 hours, but you can only smell it when your nose is pressed against skin.
I definitely love the scent – but the projection makes me want to cry. I’m keeping it though, if that tells you anything. I just love the way it smells.

cristina0509 – 2022-06-30:

After all the great reviews I bought a 3.4 oz edp bottle- I just received it today! At the beginning I smelled the white flowers, the patch, the lemon but no plum. A few mns after I sprayed it the notes settled and became warmer yes, but weaker as well. A half hr later I smelled nothing but a very light sweet cotton candy scent, nothing else. There is no projection to speak of and ends up being a complete bore. What a letdown, such disappointment. I wouldn’t pay $10 for this. It’s going back.

You will get all notes, just wow, not that there are many, but what is listed is truly what we get. All notes are apparent and all of them show up on skin.
Acrid lemony type opening, turns very fruity, without being overwhelmingly sweet, along with a chypre-like base, definitely more woody than chypre, dry, and the jasmine is detectable as well, at least I don’t smell hedione. Maybe some pencil shavings too?
Many say they don’t get patchouli…well we do get patchouli and it’s the thinned out stuff that was used in Coco Mademoiselle. It works differently here though, the olfactory result is different, not to be messed with Chanel’s perfume. It works though.
It’s a full on white floral with dashes of fruit and a cool woody base. Doesn’t smell tacky thankfully. It follows the fruitchouli trend.
Very classy, and kinda sexy, surprisingly not too sweet, lovely blend, all ages appropriate. Layer-friendly. Actually Dahlia Divin is a good- safe start for 18-19-20-ies women who choose to move from crazy sweet fruit food scents to ” I’m a lady and I wear perfume now”.
EDIT: when I was wearing Dahlia Divin and writing its review half of the notes listed now were not listed: apple, lily of the valley, citruses, pink pepper, blackcurrant, rose, peach, I even doubt the vanilla.

Elegant, sophisticated, a warm and comforting scent. Makes me think of a nice day out during the holidays. It just breaks my heart it doesn’t last for very long on my skin which makes it just short of truly divine.

This is a grown-up floral in the same way that to me Michael Kors is for younger women. Both smell good but this is a little more complex. It is somehow both classic and modern, like it reminds me of something that my grandmother would wear but not in the negative “grandmother-y” way. Still not remarkable though, I agree with the reviewer below that said it is not a perfume to be saved for special occasions. It’s something that I would wear every day and probably not repurchase when it runs out.
6/10

This is one of the perfumes I really like but can’t wear. Lovely scent, but too sweet and heavy, I get a headache every time I wear it, so I only use it as a room freshener.

scrsnseabrook58 – 2022-06-30:

This is a modern interpretation of the dahlia series. Distinctively floral, with Mirabelle and a hint of white flower & sandalwood. Classy but in a casual way. In my opinion a great addition to the collection, although suitable for everyday wear, especially in summer and fall seasons, Dahlia Divin does not present as a fragrance to impress. Moderate time and sillage.
Imagery: she who is elegant, independent and classy, walks in white toga-like dress and neutral tones, yet with a subtle aggressive edge.
Maybe…Elizabeth short in an alternative life where she became an established actress?
7-7.5/10

Pira – 2022-06-30:

Beautiful work, well-made perfume, soft and invigorating notes as Mirabelle mingles with the white floral notes, the first hours it projects out of the skin, then it becomes soft and close to the skin, I do not think it is unique in everything, but A beautiful creation, for casual and daily use, is not a luxury perfume or for use on important occasions, but good for the wear of the day, to study or to work.
I value this:
Smell: 7/10
Projection: 6/10
Longevity: 7/10

Warm smell, feminine, floral. I describe the first version of EDP. Average durability. Jasmin, patchouli, vetiver. The “sweetness” of the fragrance stems from the combination of flowers. Interesting, but I will not stay with this scent for long ,used a sample. There are many perfumes in this fragrance category and at a different price you can find something very similar. Nice bottle.

I generally do not like sweet scents but I fell in love with this! It definetely smells like nectar to me but in such a good way ! I had a small sample bottle and I bought a full bottle immediately. If you like Si by Armani and La vie est Belle I think you would really really like this .

It is not a revolutionary scent because I remember I have smelled it before, but it it very well blended so it’s is worthy of the Givenchy name. I have just rediscovered Givenchy perfumes, I think they stand out when it comes to soft, elegant fragrances and they are still a safe present alternative, I don’t think I have smelled anything from this house that was unpleasant. Reminds me of Organza First Light. Headache-inducing if you overdose.

ybd657Negeltzex – 2022-06-30:

Very soft and warm floral/woody scent, the “second-skin” type of scent. I can’t really differenciate any particular notes, except sandalwood and some non-defined white floral (not jasmine grandiflora for sure, probably IT IS jasmine sambac indeed). No patchouli detected whatsoever..
When I sparyed it all over my neck for the first time, I felt just as if I’d known and HAD this perfume for ages… Not a revealing perfume for me, but rather a perfectly cozy and safe one, just like my favorite warm scarf. Silage and longevity not very impressive, but still I’m giving a big YES for this one!!!:)

zloneo75 – 2022-06-30:

This has the one flower I really like beside rose – Jasmine. It’s got patchouli, its a really nice scent but…it gives me a terrible headache! I only have the parfum so I use it sparingly but every time it seems to go migrain-y on me. It’s a shame because I love it, and I have a really hard time finding florals that I like.

dend27 – 2022-06-30:

I love this perfume. The longevity isn’t great, so I filled up one of my Travalo atomizers for touch-ups.
This is creamy and smooth, with lots of jasmine and a nice woody base. To me this smells well-balanced, and has a subtle sillage. This is a great spring/summer fragrance. Some people say this is heavy and thick, but I disagree. This is quite light compared to my beloved Coco, Obsession, Opium and Youth Dew.
Great scent, but it requires touch-ups. This doesn’t say sultry or sexy to me, it says pretty, elegant, floating down the street in a sundress. This is quite safe, imo. You could wear this at dinner with your other half’s parents, at work, or anywhere really. It’s not a huge sillage bomb. I wish it lasted longer, but that’s what my Travalo’s for.

Anton_E_G – 2022-06-30:

This is so refined and creamy. It is a delightful floral of obvious sophistication. I do love it as I love mashed potato casserole at midnight. It is comforting and makes me feel golden, loved and impenetrable. The plum is perfectly blended for my taste but my skin most picks up the floral and sandlewood aspects. Sillage is arms length , some days far more reaching. Longevity is windfall. But as always these things are deeply personal and according to chemistry. This reminds me of a very sophisticated , wealthy woman with an undercurrent of sensuality. A Grace Kelly type. More ladylike than overtly sexual. A beautiful scent.

This Dahlia is not so Divin for smokers. Combined with cigarette it just smells bad. Also, something gives me a headache.

erurlertyn – 2022-06-30:

A classical, mature, and pleasing ” sweet fruitchouli”, circulating around the peach note. I describe this smell as formal, serious, classy, and loyal to the luxury vintage style (chypre).
The patchouli is extensive and powdery in this one, but the vanillic sweetness keeps it well accepted.

stasyaaaaan – 2022-06-30:

I wanted to like this fragrance so much, as it seems to be everywhere and the bottle is beautiful, and the notes alone should have made it a slam-dunk for me. But I’m not getting half of this fragrance’s advertised appeal – the chypre base! First I get a sweet whiff of sugary plum, followed by a soft and utterly gorgeous jasmine accord with a background of other white flowers, and then … well, not much. I don’t get any grounding notes of wood or grassy earth or patchouli, etc. Just sweet plum and jasmine. Now, that isn’t bad. Actually, I LOVE jasmine, and here it’s soft and lush and warm. The opening is very pleasant and it’s a great quality fragrance. But I swear I’ve smelled it before. I could easily mistake it for any number of scents following that fruity floral trend. As for its billing as a floral fruity chypre, I think Miss Dior nailed those notes a little better. And sadly, this juice just doesn’t go anywhere on me.

ZSaqmD – 2022-06-30:

Givenchy has some enchanting florals, Very Irresistible, Organza and Amarige to name my favorites. And then there’s this fragrance with the beautiful name that belies the stinker therein.
I tried it on a whim while at Ulta yesterday and can’t seem to shake the unpleasant experience. Of course I knew it was floral by the name, but why is it that all I get is a wretched vetiver/patchouli combo? I get neither plum nor dahlia spoken of so lovingly by others. My nose recoils and my skin is not amused.
Too bad Givenchy couldn’t create a fragrance worthy of the name.

somnovas – 2022-06-30:

Very floral, similar to miss dior. A simple jasmine and white floral on a creamy wood base. Pretty but not sexy or complicated. Demure, smells like a good girl who goes to church 😉

Finally got to wear this, last night, in cooler weather. It’s a beautiful floral-oriental, warm, with a classic edge. It’s in the same vein as Hanae Mori or a lighter Guerlain perfume. There’s nothing sweet or gourmandish about this one. Definitely not trendy. It’s a classic perfume with great sillage and longevity. A must have for any collector.

Annetikos – 2022-06-30:

This perfume means business. It’s for a grown up, confident woman. The floral woody notes really come through and the lasting power on this is a 10. Only downside is I’ve had colleagues complain the perfume is too strong when I’m barely wearing any. This is better for a night out. Nice scent but definitely on the bold side.

razzoorr – 2022-06-30:

“When gold meets fragrance”, says the packaging. My sample card also tells me this will enrobe me like a couture gown and unveil a radiant divine sensuality within me. Then it gives up it’s hyperbole and just says “lush floral woody” in a sulky voice, as if it knows this stuff is a bit embarrassing really. So what is it?
Smooth white floral chypre, sweetened with plum. Don’t over spray, it could get cloying I think.
Can someone tell me if the latest fashion in perfumery is hyper floral? I seem to have tested such a lot of it lately it’s become my new generic after fruity floral..

GelsKnotKet – 2022-06-30:

This is not the most ‘conspicuous’ eau de parfum, nonetheless I find it very distinctive and classy. Worthy of the Givenchy name.

Hilarius – 2022-06-30:

5 out of 5

I have the Dahlia Noir and while I don’t find it “noir” in the slightest, I prefer it over this “Divin.” They actually have little in common, so if you like one, you may not like the other. Dahlia Divin opens with a very sweet accord–not quite gourmand, but more “Flowerbomb” –a cleaner, more linear version with little to no patch to me. One reviewer noted that when s/he first tried it, it seemed “too mature.” I think it is “too young”–but scent has no ages. To me, this is similar to a lot of flanker fruity-sandalwood/musk dry downs out there. One person about 10 reviews down said it reminded them of “dryer sheets.” And yes, there’s that. Now to be fair, I like dryer sheets! I just don’t know if that makes for a “signature perfume.” There is a wisp of Jasmine, some “general white flowers” and then the “sugar” from the plum hits–and to me it’s an amorphous fruity sweetness. That dies down a bit, and becomes just a low sweetish flower, sightly woody-musky by end of day. Imho this is not worth a FB unless that’s what you like! Fruity sweetness is not my cup of tea, and I like my florals straight-up and strong (Give me Fracas, for instance or Un Voix Noir). I think this will be a crowd pleaser, however, and it will probably work just fine at the office since it is not a silage bomb and is generally agreeable. I do not find it sexy–and certainly, some occasions do not call for “sexy.” This really should have a different name and not be a flanker of Dahlia Noir (which I strangely like with all of its soapy cleanliness, totally unlike my usual woods, resins, incense scents). You may want to ask for a sample first. Happy sniffing!

A sweet white floral. Exactly the type of perfume i like. This is heavenly! The sweetness is not cloying, it is very elegant,comfy and soft. So feminine! The patchouli is noticable but not disturbing, the same for the vetiver.
Longevity is great and sillage is very good.
This is an underestimated fragrance.
2 thumbs up for Dahlia Divin. I hope it never gets discontinued!

nneelluu – 2022-06-30:

Yes, I liked it immediately, but then I’m a white floral lover. In some sense Dahlia Divine shares DNA with Rubinstein Wanted, another fragrance I think doesn’t gets the love it is worthy of. This is a honeyed white floral fragrance with a fruity top, smooth patchouli and then a little pinch of wood and vetiver in the base to give it a little edge. It is versatile and well executed and probably a siggy material for a white floral lover who doesn’t have too many fragrances already. Thumbs up! 🙂

akm47o – 2022-06-30:

Dahlia is a pretty and very sweet fruity floral fragrance. This opens with a Mirabelle plum which is more like grapes. I smell grapes! This could be black currant. There is a delicious plummy scent but there could be another fruit note that hasn’t been listed on Fragrantica. Delicious. The white flowers of jasmine and unlisted gardenia and tuberose are clearly there. But they are soft and very faint white flowers, allowing the jasmine to be the queen. This is a lovely white floral fragrance so if you like white flowers you should be ok with this. The dry down and the last stage of the scent is aromatic patchouli and sandalwood. There is also vetiver and that stuff is pretty spicy. This scent starts fruity turns floral and concludes with spiced up patchouli and sandalwood. Oriental? Sure but not a heavy Oriental. Nothing about this perfume is loud or excessive. Just right. Gorgeous. Recommend for spring and summer.

Does this remind anyone else of the original Miss Dior Cherie? The one with strawberry and caramel in it? This gave me a distinct memory association with the original Miss Doir Cherie. I mean it’s not a dupe for it but they feel the same. I think this smells more like MDC than the horrible reformulation of MDC does. The top notes are sweet and a bit sharp, it almost smells like red currant. The middle is still sweet, but the red fruit dissipates and the white florals have their moment in the spotlight. The drydown is delicious! It’s a soft, warm, slightly spicy vanilla/caramel feeling drydown with a touch of white floral. The top notes are my least favorite part, but overall it’s beautiful and I’m happy to have found a replacement for Miss Dior Cherie in my vast fragrance wardrobe.

Lovely perfume! bought this yesterday att the airport and sprayed it on my wrists today at morning and i can still smell it after 5-6 hours. Saw in comments below that this one disappeared after 1 hour i don’t know if it was something wrong with the bottle they tried or something because this one sticks through the day. Vanilla is not listed in the notes but for me this is a plum-vanilla fragrance with flowers in the background. It starts off a bit sharp but after a few minutes it becomes this beautiful warm and mature fragrance. Even though there is plum in this and there is a sweetness this perfume is not for those who love the typical la vie belle / black opium sweetness, This one is for those who like sweetness but with a mature finish. Perfect for summer, this one will be one of my favourites.

RGorgeous. Wonderful. Florals and vanilla right up front. The flowers are smooth and syrupy and the vanilla is held up by a powdery sandalwood. I can smell the fruitiness but it isn’t a cheap juvenile fruit like you sometimes encounter, it’s warmer and deeper than I expected. I really really like this. It smells womanly and beautiful. On me this is somehow both strong and yet airy. It floats around with a definite presence but it doesn’t feel like it’s weighing me down or being too loud. This feels right on me. It hasn’t changed really from first spray except it has gotten a bit smoother and the scents have created a cohesive note instead of me smelling them independently. Beautiful.
Less than two hours of wear and wondering where it went. Now I’m sad. It was pretty while it lasted but there’s no way I would buy this with it going away so fast. I’ll have to try it again right after moisturizing and see if it can be saved.

This is a beautiful classy fragrance with a wonderful composition where citrusy notes, Oriental notes and flowers are combined and made into a sophisticated perfume.
As it misses warm notes it is not a very appropriate perfume for autumn and winter nights. This fresh, slightly Oriental perfume is perfect for sunny days, all day long, it’s very ‘clean’.

I had almost all the Givenchy perfumes, I can`t get enough of their scents…but when I tried Dahlia Divin I found my true self through this scent! I love it, everybody around me also and it lasts…all over my 12-hour shifts…and it also fits very well with my uniform (police) 😉
So not only succesful business women, also a police-woman in 40`s can easily wear it and the people go waw after her :-p

It’s funny that the previous review mentioned a salon. Upon first sniff of Dahlia Divin in a fashion mag, the smell hit me over the nose with a place memory….it smells like an upscale African American beauty shop.
I remember telling my sister that Givenchy decided to throw a little soul on this one. She sniffed it…and agreed.
This isn’t a bad smell at all and it’s fascinating to see it presented in a french fragrance. Fragrance and our sense of smell, what we find agreeable, what we find comforting have so many cultural connections. It’s like pumpkin pie. I don’t find pumpkin pie to be a comforting scent. It was not a common dish on my holiday table. I’m not drawn to the vegetal allspice nutmeg pumpkin pie smell. Sweet potato pie or even better a bean pie? Now that’s the stuff. The egg-y cream brulee buttery scent that both of those desserts possess draw me in each time.
Aside from what may be different in terms of scent predilection, fragrance as a part of the everyday grooming process is such a huge element within black culture as a whole. There’s this common belief in three things: being clean, looking good, and smelling good. Common refrain that I heard growing up—-“when you look good, you feel good and you can’t look good if you don’t smell good”.
In other words, when I say it smells like a beauty shop from within my culture, that’s not a bad thing in my book.
I myself have spent a better portion of the Saturdays of my childhood and young adulthood either under the dryer in said shops or waiting in the chair for some always late beautician—get there at 8 am for a 9 am appointment and you’re not getting in that chair until almost 10 am but you’ll wait because the beautician is one of the best and she/he knows that.
Now…imagine beautiful ladies in every shade of skin from french vanilla to sable, all of them well dressed, and gossiping away while beauticians and their assistants move among them. In the air, there is the scent of intermingling floral and oriental perf
