The story behind the bottle.
Dahlia Noir Le Bal Eau de Parfum, launched by Givenchy in 2013 and crafted by François Demachy, is a Chypre Floral fragrance that embodies the brand's signature blend of French elegance and American glamour. The composition opens with bright citrus notes that give way to a heart of rose and iris, creating an interplay between freshness and depth. The base notes of vanilla and woody accords lend warmth and a powdery comfort, making it a scent that feels both classic and contemporary.
Apply this fragrance to pulse points for a warm presence that lingers throughout the day. The powdery florals are best experienced close to skin rather than diffused into the air, so avoid over-spraying and let it settle before leaving.
