LVHM - do you really mean this?
Givenchy used to be such a gorgeous brand. I'm still in awe of perfumes like "Organza", "L'Interdit", or my beloved "Givenchy III".
But this new Dahlia-flanker is not in the least divine and very remote from anything I'd associate with "gold". "When gold meets fragrance" it says on my sample. And they call it a "lush floral woody". What? "Amouage Gold" is a lush floral - there is no way of comparing the noble Amouage to this watered-down nondescript floral by Mr Demarchy. (The guy runs the risk of ruining his repution if he continues to put his name under such bland fragrances). I can't detect any real flowers in "Dahlia Divin", just some artificial aromachemicals used by the knowledgeable chemist in order to mimick some kind of - "flower". "Dahli Divin" is extremely boring and even worse than the new "Black Opium", which I also dislike. LVMH still come up with beautiful perfume vessels and clever marketing ideas, pretty names and packagings. But the content? Actually, not even worth writing about. Another huge disappointment.
