Dahlia Noir

Dahlia Noir by Givenchy is a feminine-leaning eau de parfum from 2011 in the designer price tier. It opens with mimosa, moves into iris and rose and dries down to vanilla, sandalwood and tonka bean. Expect around 7 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.

Notes, explained

Opening

• Mimosa Soft, powdery, honeyed yellow flower. Gentle and comforting.

Heart

• Iris Cool, powdery, slightly carroty and expensive. The luxury note.
• Rose Can be jammy, green, peppery or soapy depending on the type. Not one smell.

Dry-down

• Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
• Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
• Tonka Bean Almond, hay and vanilla in one. Warm and slightly nutty.
