GIVENCHY: DAHLIA NOIR L’EAU EAU DE TOILETTE
An ode to dazzling femininity for the modern goddess who is unique, mysterious and chic.
The fresh floral fragrance bursts into a crystalline wave of luminous Neroli and Cedrat Essence. Its airy lightness romanced by delicate rose petals and peonies at its heart.
Gradually, the sophisticated scent reveals the refinement of its musk and cedarwood base notes. An unforgettable imprint for the Givenchy woman.
Escape to the soft-side.
