Dahlia Noir L’Eau

This one is somewhat deceptive as a L'eau variation, you expect it to be light. Cedar wood gives it an edge and adds something to the rose and citrus. All three notes are perceived and you smell them for many hours. I initially thought that this fragrance did not change, however, as it settles, on me, it becomes "sweeter". This is not a sweet fragrance but I'm finding that the rose and citrus shine together and sweeten a bit when compared to the first spray where I smell the cedar fairly strong. I love citrus and cedar so I love DNL'eau. Dahlia Noir L'eau is described as "An elegant Floral Fresh" then the notes listed are Crystalline neroli- Delicate rose petals- Refined cedar wood. But I appreciate the additional notes that are listed here, it is what you will smell. "LIN" has a good review as well as "Roxanne25" I agree with both. Mostly, it's stronger and deeper than one might assume.

A synthetic note in this that I also smell in Versace "Yellow Diamond" Something to do with the citrus in both of them?? Not my favorite note for sure...having said that I still find this really good, just not a "wow". Overall still really good especially after when it lingers on my clothes and go mmmm, what's that? *************************************************************************************

I don't usualy fond of summer 'transparant' scents, but as i first smelled this one things went different! I just love it! It's very fresh and clean, i certainly feel all the citruses notes but it's not one of these 'light' perfumes that leaves your skin an hour after you spray it, it's quite long lasting and leaves a great sillage! Good work!

I love perfumes that don't ultimately settle down into powder or soap. This is one of them. This scent remains fresh for the length of its life which on me is 9 hours. It's a skin scent, safe for the office and nothing particularly loud or offensive. I like it for its sharpness. So maybe some perfumes are just not meant to be warm and cuddly.

The minute I smelled Dahlia Noir L'Eau I knew it was special. I immediately pictured a beautiful summer bride, with a beautiful white wedding dress and wearing this scent. It just exploded my senses. So much that I bought a bottle for myself. Being male I don't know if I can get away with wearing it, but I will certainly give it a try.

At first, I didn't really understand this fragrance, but after 3 or 4 times I fell in love with this perfume. I was looking for a summer perfume which could be not too citrucy, not too sweet, not airy, but still fresh and noticeable. Dahlia Noir L'eau fits this description ideally. I adore this fragrance!

I find it quite nice. It's definitely green, fresh and clean. I can see the similarity between L'Eau de Chloe and this one ,but in my opinion I get more patchouli in Chloe. Very subtle and sits close to your skin, great for hot summer days.

Instant love! It smells like spring, but it's great for any time of the year! It could definitely be unisex. I love the way it changes over time and all stages are beautiful. Love it! It's so fresh and clean, amazing scent!

if i would express this perfume in some words i would just say : cool and cleansing wind but still tender and elegant fragrance

Absolutely lovely and all but after an hour I can't smell it anymore. Wish it came as edp...

A light citrus with a sexy, powdery twist :-)

Dahlia noir l'eau starts very fresh and subtly sweet and citric. It smells to me like a version of dahlia noir edt that was made specifically for the Japanese market. The powdery notes present in the edt are downplayed here and there is an herbal freshness somewhat reminiscent of Timotei shampoo. A subtle chypre shimmer in the dry down lends quite a sexy edge. I bet this would smell great in humid conditions. My fiancée bought me the original pink cap edt for Christmas last year and I knew it was coming because he kept smelling it in stores and saying how lovely it was. He said " it is so you! it smells like your skin!" There is definitely a "I have clean powdered sexy skin" as opposed to "I am wearing perfume" quality to all of these dahlia noir editions that makes them easy on the nose and rather sexy in a restrained way. Although I love my edt and it is my daytime signature I may have to get this as well due to its compelling subdued loveliness and its slightly darker citric essence. Off topic but I just had to say- Mariacarla is so beautiful!

I may be anosmic to parts of the original version of "dahlia noir" EDP (hence don't know what it smells like exactly or is the EDP really THAT weak?), but I find the l'eau far more compelling. I didn't expect much, am not a givenchy-fan, found the name totally unrelated to the edp AND it is a flanker of a weak fragrance.. but I was surprised. while the edp for me is sweet and feels like any other anonymous drugstore perfume out there, this one has a good shape, almost puristic, and it is distinctive. the rose is dewy, the patchouli and neroli are well balanced. I must admit, I can imagine myself wearing it. ok, it IS a little cheap (especially in the drydown, there's not much going on), it IS a little bit like a deodorant-smell and the name is still unrelated (nothing noir to find) but this time I find it cool, that it is a flanker: the bottle is nice and stayed the same:-)

dahlia noir leau spring test, warm day, two sprays to inner arm. i first thought this scent might have turned, i dont knowthat i overly like to opening, its got a tea feel to it. i let it settle, and its got alot in comon with dahlia noir edt, the first 'part' is feeling in the same family as: stella LILY (which i tried on the other arm) gucci envy peace love and juicy couture a little like issey the scent it had a freshness to it, not as icey as LILY, and i think its hyacinth?, the scent and envy have this note in varying degrees. dahlia noir leau isnt green per se, just has the tea thing happening initially, then its a bit rosey-sweet-fresh combo. quite easy to wear, its not loud scent

First I liked this fragrance. It seemed to me elegant refreshing citrusy fragrance. But then I realized that it reminds me a lot A Mi Aire by Loewe. I don't like perfumes that remind another perfumes. Also it reminds me Gris Montaigne by Dior that also reminds me A Mi Aire by Loewe. All of them have similar bergamot freshness. Even if I like this fragrance more because it has not as chemical dry-down as A Mi Aire by Loewe and smells less masculine than Gris Montaigne by Dior, I still can't forget this fact. Without this fact, I would like it, because it smells strict in a good way as a refreshing fragrance. Good job, but I miss the originality.

I usually am sceptical about neroli scent, and this one is rated as mostly neroli. However, on my skin I feel mostly lemon in the opening. The opening is not zesty Sharp, rather citrus-warmy, very cosy. It developed quite fast to the middle notes, which appear to be candy-like (not like Pink Candy, but a very soft, marschmallow-y). I notice soft amber (not a big fan, but here is pretty neat), all in a cedar/musk base. A pretty nice composition, that is office friendly and very fresh. Yes, longevity is poor - sits like 3 h on me, but I donät mind to re-apply. Definitely on the "want-it" list. Not a crowd pleaser though, so try Before you buy.

I am not a fan of the original version, so I didn't expect to like this flanker. But I really do. I love its simplicity: a fresh citrusy and powdery rose, long-lasting and perfect for spring. But why Dahlia Noir? How can such a scent be named Dahlia Noir? Dahlia conveys the idea of an enigmatic sexy woman. But Dahlia Noir l'Eau is only a beautiful fragrance for citrus lovers...

Well , at first i was hesitated to try Dahlia Noir L’Eau Givenchy as i know it's for women , but actually when i tried it , i didn't find that feminine side , may be because of the patchouli , cedar , citruses so any way it's a good fragrance for both in my humble point of view. Scent : 6/10. Longevity : 5 hours. Sillage : 4 hours. Bottle design : 7/10.

it's my second review about this perfume. well i sprayed it at 10 am in the morning,and now almost 11 pm here,i still can smell very gentle traces of it on my neck and hair. stays all day,but it doesn;t hesitate. beautiful

Smells fresh, soft green/woody citrusy and clean. There is an easiness about it that I happen to LOVE. Decent lasting power.
