Dahlia Noir L Eau by Givenchy was launched in 2013 and crafted by perfumer François Demachy. The composition opens with bright citrus and green notes, creating a fresh and vibrant top layer that immediately captures attention. As the scent evolves, rose and peony soften into a heart of white florals, balanced by the earthiness of patchouli and cedar. This interplay between freshness and warmth makes it a dynamic fragrance for those who appreciate complexity.

Application Tips
Apply Dahlia Noir L Eau with two sprays to ensure its bright citrus top notes are noticeable. The scent develops into its powdery and floral heart over time, so it’s best experienced close to skin rather than from a distance. This fragrance is particularly suited for the daytime when you want a fresh yet warm presence.
