Dahlia Divin Le Nectar de Parfum

This is gorgeous! While deb.m is correct that no discussion of the notes is necessary, I will bring it up just because, even though I know I am no expert, rarely am I this off base with regards to notes. I turned . . . 29 a couple of days ago, and I received DDLN as a gift. Anyway, the opening - DDLN boldly filled the room. That alone is a refreshing trend reversal. I could have sworn, SWORN, that the predominate notes were some sort of peach-apricot jam and balsamic vanilla. Small consolation that I was right about the vanilla - and a lovely, mature vanilla it is; a perfume vanilla, not niche cookies-out-of-the-oven, or vanilla extract from your cupboard. I suppose what I was interpreting as apricot/peaches and cream is the combination of the mimosa and the vanilla. Mimosa is one of the notes that I still do not feel like I have a good handle on. This next part may seem critical, but it really isn't. The top, mimosa, and the bottom, vanilla and woods, are very powerful. As a result, the jasmine/rose center gets quite buried. Honestly, I'm quite okay with that; that note combination as been pretty well explored already. I didn't miss it. I would say, if anything, the 'middle' is musk, vanilla and sandalwood - this is the only part I am a little iffy on; sandalwood and I have a challenging relationship. The tail of this perfume is a dark, quiet, elegant vetiver, a completely different vibe than the opening. It lasts 12+ hours. In the face of new regulations and shifting social norms, some companies retreat and water down their offerings. Givenchy goes bold. I was very glad to get this. It's beautiful, the bottle is simply stunning, and I would never have thought to select it for myself.

Dahlia Divin Le Nectar de Parfum opens on a strong, sweet floral note, which I assume is the mimosa (I am not yet familiar with this note). Pressing my nose to my wrist, it is a little powdery and almost overpowering. It would certainly be suffocating in very hot conditions. Smelling closely, I pick up a dry, slightly musty note, a little bitter, which I think must be the vetiver. I seem to pick this smell up in some fragrances I've tried that contain vetiver. It has ruined a few of them for me, but in Le Nectar, it is definitely not a deal breaker, since this phase doesn't last long and it doesn't manifest too aggressively. Le Nectar settles so beautifully, sweet but elegant, rich and creamy and warm. This is no gourmand vanilla. It is a golden sweetness, sophisticated and grown-up. I'd been hoping to own one of the Dahlia Divin fragrances since I sampled the EDP, EDT, and Le Nectar a few months ago, when I immediately fell in love with them. To the best of my memory, they are closely related, and any one of them would have been good enough for me. I am so happy I was able to score a very slightly used bottle of Le Nectar at such a great price! It is one of my favorite full bottle buys!

For me,this is more a fall,winter fragrance(also can make a great night perfume for warmer months) ,a great one.I'd definitely buy it for this fall and highly recommend everyone to try it. It reminded me original dahlia divin but they're different enough to have them both.dahlia divin le nectar stands out among all the other perfumes I tested today.it's warm and sensual,powdery creamy.it's vanilla-jasmine combo reminded me Jean Paul gaultier classique intense as it's mentioned in review of Germany,but it's not as jasmine-centered as classique intense.dahlia divin le nectar has a great powdery floral accord grounded by sweet,creamy,a tad dark woods and vanilla.it's delicious in an adult way.another thing that I like about it is it's fresh,clean,powdery quality which we don't usually see in sweet,balsamic scents.Longevity and sillage are both satisfying and it's bottle is very elegant and eye catching.givenchy is one of my favorite perfume brands and didn't disappoint me again.it's only down side is that it's veryyy expensive here. 2.5 oz bottle has more than 90$ price tag which is exactly twice as it's price in other countries!! If they sell it with it's true price I will buy it ASAP

This is beautiful! Very familiar and comforting. It's not groundbreaking or especially unique but it is very loveable and easy to wear. Very summery and warm but could be worn year round, day or night. This may become one of my new signature scents - it reminds me of other perfumes but not any one specific scent, more like the combination of all the best feminine perfumes I have ever smelled coming back to me at once. It is somehow not generic, despite it not being unique. It smells very expensive and is very well blended. I get tonka, vanilla, sandalwood and then the beautiful floral blend of mimosa, rose and jasmine. It is very feminine and soft, I would say this is a quite grown up scent but could be worn by anyone mid 20s or above. Wouldn't be right for teenagers, more of a classy adult scent. Very sensual and sexy but not in an obvious way. The silliage is OK, it's not a beast but does leave a nice trail - the magic is up close though! It's one of those scents you want to keep leaning in to smell more of. Delicious! It was a bit hard to find a good price though I will definitely keep my eyes out for a big bottle because I'm in love with it!

I'm not a fan of sweet perfumes, but I'm digging this. It is very very sweet but it works here because it's supposed to be like a golden honey nectar, so how else can this be anything else? It starts with a bubble gum white flower explosion, but it dries down fairly quickly. Overall this is soft, cushy, supple and warm and never cloying or obnoxious. As it stays with you, you get little whiffs of rich honeyed candy surround you. This is the type of fragrance that makes people lean in to get a better sniff, so this can be classified as "sexy" in my book. But this is expensive smelling and refined and not vulgar in the least. Classy, sophisticated and elegant can all be used to describe this. I found a 1 oz bottle for next to nothing on line, but I can see this skyrocketing in value if this ever gets discontinued. This is definitely one to keep you eye on if you see it at a bargain. It's that good.

Dahlia Divin le Nectar de Parfum does not stand in my usual alley, scent-wise. I tend to prefer more unisex fragrances, but this one has steadily grown on me and now I just find it absolutely intoxicating! The mimosa is predominant here, and if I can detect other notes, they are blended so tightly together that none really stands out. This powerful scent loses its intensity after an hour or so and remains pretty linear throughout. It projects nicely, but maybe a little too much for a school or work setting. On my skin the scent lasts forever (8-10 hours). Le Nectar seems to be a "statement" fragrance. Albeit sweet, it is also mature, strong, and bold. I think this is what I like so much about this offering, it's mature without smelling dated. It has the others Givenchy's Dahlia Divin DNA, but with an added creaminess and un je ne sais quoi that sets it appart. One of my favorite scent.

This was a love at first sniff for me. Elevated, powdery (but not too powdery) mimosa floral with this intoxicating undertone of tonka bean. Projection is rather soft but the trail this leaves has gotten several men to comment (sometimes too) positively. Longevity is pretty great as well: 6+ hours. This is a ladylike fragrance that is still sexy but not vulgar. This would be great for a first date, dinner, evening work events, etc. Although I think evening with DDLN, this is one of the most season-less, versatile frags I own. She's always appropriate IMO. For as long as I can find this, she'll be in my collection.

Love this one. Lots of mimosa Jasmine and rose to my nose , it's sweet and fresh at the same time. Like" right out of the shower" smell. Very aromatic and Really attractive. Similar vibe to calssique intense ( gold bottle ) to my nose. Like a Jasmine vanilla scent. Although the mimosa is very dominant. Childlike , fresh and sweet. Bonus my husband likes it. Update ,,,it gets less sweet and the soapiness comes out even more. You get whiffs of vetiver and musk and a fresh out of the shower feel for hours. It has its own character at this point it doesn't remind me of another perfume but rather a very expensive soap.

Mmmmmmmmimosa! This is truly a sparking vanilla floral. I've tried the original, but this one has something special. It's brighter and sunnier and the mimosa truly plays the starring role. It's an amazing oriental floral with a glorious base of vanilla, tonka and sandalwood. Smooth, creamy at drydown but the mimosa remains the star. It's summery, not sweet, perfectly balanced so it's not too flowery. I love the drydown - a bit powdery with a hint of roses. Gorgeous bottle, great projection and longevity - well worth the buy. An all season easily unisex scent - sensuous touch of musk. Mimosa perfection.

I wasn't going to buy any more perfumes -- I'm so happy with my little collection where Coco Noir and Shalimar Parfum Initial are the stars -- but the other day I tried Dahlia Divin le Nectar in the store and I ADORE it. The first sniff from the paper was ecstatically sunny. I guess I like mimosa. Yes, it is sweet, but my skin turns everything woody/spicy, so on me it's kind of like a sweetening-up of sandalwood, never harsh, just creamy golden silk. I also love the bottle, which is a factor for me, not gonna lie. I think I'm going to delete everything off my want list except Dahlia Divin le Nectar!

One of my favourite perfumes ever. It's creamy, elegant, and rich. This is always my number one and go to perfume. The only time it's not is for nights out when I want something widly sexy. I work in a department store and let me tell you this is my MOST complimented perfume by customers. I've lost count of the amount of times I've been cashing out a customer and they commented on how lovely or beautiful I smell. I've also been asked a few times if I'm wearing Youth Dew by Estee Lauder. I've never smelled that one but I guess they smell similar if people are asking me that!

A blind purchase. Bought it cos it's cheap. Someone was trying to sell it away cos it was gifted. I read the reviews and purchased it. I love this sooooo much! Reading the reviews I was a little worried about the longevity but I sprayed some at 10pm last night and it's 8am and I can still smell it. So it's awesome. It opens with pretty floral and dries down to yummy vanilla, Tonka. It's just sooo pretty and classy. This has been discontinued in my country. And I hunted down the last one that I can find in 50ml. So now I have 2 bottles of 50ml. I will treasure them.

Yowza, this is dynamite! So French, so chic, so classy and yet at the same time, so accessible! This is a golden beauty (ahh, sweet Mimosa, there you are my love!) with tonka bean, sandalwood and jasmine embracing her lovingly while a perfect hint of vetiver comes to inject a cool touch to keep the warm trio from smothering its own flame. Sorry to sound pseudo-poetic, but this caught me so off-guard! A definite holy grail delight for more formal occasions, I wouldn't dare wear this to my place of work, except well maybe to cause a stir LOL! Divin en effet!

I love wearing this perfume during warm summer nights when I have my white dress on and my skin is tanned and glowing. It's a creamy sweet, simple scent - dare I say people pleaser. No screechy note here. I get tons of compliments whenever I wear it (which is always nice). Projection is quite good for the first hour, longevity is not the best on my skin. I feel the need to reaply every two hours, but I love the initial blast so much that I don't honestly mind. Definitely my favorite from the Dahlia Divin line.

I sprayed this on for the first time in recent memory, and I immediately felt this sense of home, specifically late high school in the 90s. It’s not a specific scent memory, but a general impression, though I can kind of imagine if you were to layer Nina Ricci Deci Dela with Coty Vanilla Fields, there might be a resemblance. Anyway, I love this perfume, and I will treasure the amount I still have, which is about 2/3 of a 30 ml bottle.

I can't recall a Givenchy scent I've ever disliked. They do perfume so well,and this is no exception. It's a walk in an exotic garden on a warm spring day, surrounded by the heady scent of abundant creamy mimosa warmed by a golden sun, with a hint of jasmine and rose carried on a light breeze. I think this would translate really well into an evening fragrance too, just applied more liberally. A truly luxury EDP.

This perfume is divine very well named and it is like the nectar of the gods it is gorgeous and floral yet warm and sensuous at the same time. Every time I wear it people definitely notice it's beautiful scent is hard not to miss. It has great silage it lasts all day on me and bottle is beautiful too hard not to like this one I give it a 10/10 it is divine in every sense of the word.

This perfume is heaven. Simply divine. I can't describe what it smells like but it smells expensive; exquisite. If I could name this perfume it would be "champagne". I imagine a beautiful woman in a long gold dress at a special event. I think this is suitable for anyone who, not necessarily to wear as a signature scent though. This is very special, I will be purchasing again.

This is heavenly...but seriously overpriced. The perfume is delicious but does not project. The original one have much more sillage, and honestly, this one is not that different in terms of smell. I think it is an unnecessary flanker. I like the original one better, it is more luminous and not powdery like this one. But both are rich, elegant sweet perfumes.

This is nice, for a while at least. The scent reminds me of when I used to layer JLO Live with a vanilla sandalwood narcissus perfume (the now discontinued Vanilla Creme Fleur by Voluspa). Nectar has a beautiful mimosa note which unfortunately is only in the top/middle of development. I love the beginning of Nectar, but the drydown is only so-so.
