Dahlia Divin Nude Eau de Parfum

The apricot is very sweet and strong for the first couple of minutes! Top notes: Fruity apricot and spicy orange citrus Heart notes: Sweet, creamy floral accords of Jasmine and Osmanthus Base Notes: Warm white musk <3 Feminine, for 'all' ages. Dahlia Divin is especially particular to one's body chemistry. I think it would be one of the more popularly devise perfumes if it had more power to actually project the lovely thing. Nude is perfectly named, it stays close to the skin all day, but unless someone's nose is within an inch of where you sprayed it- don't expect any compliments. PERFECT FOR: Close encounters with strangers and acquaintances. Or, people that like the mythos behind Flowerbomb and La Vie est Belle but think it needs to calm down. ON THE TESTER STRIPS: Dahlia Divin + flanks were all very spicy with a synthetically sweet smell that overpowered any floral notes. However, I liked the spiciness of it enough to keep smelling and then noticed that it was 50% off for all Dahlia Divin. (Admittedly, I was pretty motivated to like it after that) Just like many before me have said, Nectar was too syrupy sweet, so it was between the original and Nude. In the end, I (and my partner) preferred Nude for its lighter (floral) composition. I happily bought Nude for 50% off feeling no pressure to *love* it. On paper, Nude is synthetically fruity with a subtle musk in the background for some intrigue. I never would have bought that at full price. On me, however, this baby is quite the opposite! ON ME: Imagine a sweetness powerful in the same way that vanilla is, but without being vanilla. Instead, the sweetness goes floral and is kept warm and spicy with an intoxicating musk. What I smell on my skin when I wear Nude seems to be what those who love Flowerbomb describe; a seemingly perfect blend of floral and gourmand carried by a warm musk. Unfortunately...This sucker has NO sillage. It actually does have decent longevity. +4 hours in my day I'll still catch sudden whiffs of the lovely scent. But, your nose has to get pretty damn close in order to get all the olfactory that I just described. I LOVE warm and creamy compositions and this is basically a sweet floral warm and spicy fragrance for every day! What holds this back from being a statement is simply the volume behind that beauty. If this had the longevity and projection to go with it, I would definitely add to my (full-priced) wishlist.

I totally agree with FireFlySF's review Dahlia Divin Nude is indeed pretty.I can feel that it belongs to the Dahlia Divin family,but while Nectar is syrupy sweet and heavy,Nude is soft and gentle.it's sweet but not as intensely sweet as her sisters,there's some sort of freshness here,also it's light character don't let it's sweetness becomes cloying apricot is very pleasant and yummy here,and florals are oh so pretty.there's just a hint of subtle woods and a silky musk to make this feminine scent,warmer and even more inviting..drydown is softly powdery and not as fruity sweet as it's opening I agree that it's not original,unique or complex but it smells lovely and while being light and simple,it doesn't smell cheap,on the contrary I usually find it charming and classy.I love it's milky sweetness and it's gorgeous jasmine and osmanthus It's a year round wearable perfume but now that I'm wearing it in this warm and sunny(but not hot) late summer day,I like it more than cold winter days(on me it was very very thin and too much musky-woody in cold temp) sillage is soft to moderate,longevity is less than 4 hours on my skin.I find it a very versatile perfume,it's wearable for work,date,evenings out,going to cinema or restaurant,even before sleep.if you'd like to have a sweet but tender,romantic,superfeminine and inoffensive perfume which stays close to skin give it a try I'm adding it to my wantlist but I don't think that I'm going to buy it anytime soon as it's very very expensive here and while I love how it smells on me,I can't convince myself to pay top dollars for a perfume with such a fleeting longevity and sillage(it costs as much as a 3.4oz Tom Ford or a chanel perfume) but if I find it with a reasonable price,I'd buy it

this scent i find quite fruity, sweet and fresh. before seeing what the accords were i tried to guess the fruit i smell and i guessed apricots. checking here, i guessed right. its very apricoty. i dont get the woody-ness like it says. definitely a spring day type perfume that would be cute wearing to a tea party with the ladies. its a scent i can see people would say its okay but not falling in love with. cant see how someone would say they hate it unless they dont like the smell of apricots. it smells delicious when you first spray but after about 5 minutes, the scent is non existent. i would purchase this spray if it lasted longer and had more sillage. its a very pricy perfume here in australia, just disappointing on how weak it is.

I love apricot and osmanthus, and, I think this is a fab mix, it smells kinda white flowers in my nose, and it is very shy and gentle. I only have a small sample, but, if the price is right, I will buy a big bottle of this nice juice, and I mean a BIG bottle, cause I will love to overspray myself with this soft and ever so tenderly perfume!! 10/10

This, to me, smells like Sephora. Or any perfume shop where it smells divine due to the mix of sprays in the air and to the fragranced products they sell. Very ladylike and refined without being specific. It does have a hint of Coco Mademoiselle in the drydown, but sweeter
