Bland

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.

Aphrodisiac and Irresistible

I am not a fragrance professional. I cannot write epic lengths about the composition and development of a scent, as others here can describe so aptly.
But what I can describe is the effect of this fragrance, on me and on others.

Backstory:
For every season, I need two fragrances. Winter/Fall and Spring/Summer. Always one scent for everyday wear and one for going out. For everyday wear this season, I am using DKNY Fresh Blossom. But I still needed a scent for the evening, something seductive that would particularly charm my boyfriend and make me feel utterly sexy, feminine, and glamorous - without smelling "cheap" or like something generic. Sometimes, as a woman, you want that ;-)
For winter, it was clearly Yves Saint Laurent - Manifesto Elixir. And since then, I was looking for a suitable counterpart for the warm season.

I really stumbled into every little perfumery and Douglas (is that how you say it in plural ^^) multiple times. The staff has already looked at me critically, "What does she want here again?". But I never found anything or perhaps I wasn't well advised.

Here in the forum, Dahlia Devine was recommended to me. Until then, I had never heard of this fragrance, and it was never suggested to me on-site either. So I went back to Douglas - once again - with a list of fragrance recommendations - once again!
There, I tried this one alongside numerous other recommendations from this forum - and I was immediately captivated. My nose was already overwhelmed with various other scent influences and the somewhat counteracting coffee beans, but I perceived this fragrance very intensely.

Long story short: I finally ordered it and wore it out on the weekend in the evening.
The effect was astonishing and similar to Manifesto. No lie, I was approached by almost every second friend I hugged to greet. Everyone also took a second sniff. A very seductive effect on the outside world.

But the most important thing:
Once I applied the fragrance, it actually enveloped me, and for once, the marketing hit the nail on the head, like a couture gown. I felt completely prepared for the evening right away.
When I came home that night or rather the morning, I could still perceive the scent on me.

Conclusion:
This fragrance has a magical effect both on me and on my environment.
Whether I would associate it with Alicia Keys is another question ;-) But it is 100% glamorous without being overly ladylike. It suits every occasion - whether going out in style, bar-hopping, dining with friends, etc. - and leaves a lasting impression + has exemplary longevity.
Basically, everything a fragrance should have in my opinion.
I can only recommend it with the highest enthusiasm.

The little plus:
If you don’t have a circle of friends or acquaintances consisting of fragrance junkies or connoisseurs, hardly anyone knows it. Definitely not mainstream :-)

Now don’t get all fussy...!!

Now I have to tell you briefly about my new friend - her name is Dahlia, Dahlia Divin. I only met her a week ago and was totally enchanted by her in no time. She has everything you could wish for in a friend. We went shopping together and she made me feel so good. I feel appreciated and valuable. She put me in a beautiful light and I could really enjoy the time - she didn’t disturb me at all but was still totally present. After shopping, we took a walk in the park and it was just a lovely feeling of life with her. I felt elegant with her. My husband and daughter also liked her very much.
Of course, I wanted to invite her to my home right away. At the next opportunity, I gave her a perfume shop voucher and invited her over. A few days later, she came. I was really happy and excited. But now comes the real kicker... she just bursts into my house and starts shouting. I feel harassed and overwhelmed by her. I almost get a headache from the noise. Yes, I almost felt sick.... Well, okay, I have to say I had met many other friends in the perfume shop during the day, maybe that’s why I got annoyed so quickly. In any case, I wanted to throw her out of the apartment right away (return slip had already been requested). Completely exhausted and annoyed, I lay down on the sofa with my daughter. Well, then my daughter told me how much she liked Dahlia and why Dahlia wasn’t with us every day. She practically threw herself around her neck. Strange, why was Dahlia so nice to my little daughter and not to me anymore? I decided to endure her for the sake of the child. Well, what can I say. The lady got back on track and suddenly became tame again. Finally, my friend was back, with whom I had gotten along so well and who had made me feel so good. Admittedly, she’s not particularly silly and you can’t pull off any wild stunts with her. But you can have a wonderful dinner, go to a musical, or do other nice activities with her. For the childish things, I have my new friend Candy - she’s quite silly, but you need that as a contrast to a lady like Dahlia.

(About the scent itself: as many have written, jasmine stands out strongly. Patchouli and sandalwood make the scent very warm and totally pleasant to wear after a rather loud phase. In my opinion, it’s a fragrance for women from their mid-20s.)

Fallin`

The black dahlia is one of my favorites, so I was curious about Dahlia Divin.
And I must say, Divin also has favorite qualities.

How fitting that Alicia Keys is the face of this fragrance, because at the first spray, "Fallin`" immediately comes to mind - one of my favorite songs.
Highly recommended to listen to while wearing this scent:

I keep on fallin' in
In love with you
Sometimes I love you
Sometimes you make me blue
Sometimes I feel good
At times I feel used
Lovin' you darlin'
Makes me so confused

I keep on fallin' in and out
Of love with you
I never loved someone
The way that I loved you

Oh, oh, oh
Never felt this way
How do you give me so much pleasure
And cause me so much pain
Just when I think
I've taken more than would a fool
I start fallin' back in love with you

And I too fall into this sensual scent, like into a soft luxurious feather bed.

It is smoothly sweet, and also somewhat melancholic, like this confusing love that hovers between hope and fear, which Alicia sings about.
Who doesn’t know these feelings?

Yet Divin gives hope for a good ending, as it feels like a warm comforting embrace.

After many doubts, everything turns out well - and one feels safe.
This secure, sheltered feeling is also conveyed by the fragrance.

The mirabelle is deliciously sweet, and with the white flowers, the sun rises.
The jasmine is also bright and elegant, emphasized by juicy vetiver.
Patchouli adds sensuality, and sandalwood makes Divin round and radiant.

The scent has something of "arriving" after a long journey - and it may be an emotional journey.

I press the repeat button and let myself fall into "Fallin`" once more.

Sweet Apricots

Dahlia Divin is initially a rather fruity scent that later leans more towards the floral direction. I have had it for about a good year now. I believe it was winter when I bought it used. The start, as mentioned, is very fruity with beautiful juicy-sweet mirabelles. I really like the scent at this stage. However, it soon becomes too sweet for me. Jasmine Sambac and modern, current patchouli, as found in many of today's mainstream fragrances, come through strongly. This sweetness is personally too much for me. I prefer patchouli in the old-fashioned way, dark, earthy, even a bit grave-like. The scent doesn't last more than two hours on me, which doesn't bother me too much. It is not a bad scent in itself, but it doesn't quite match my taste, and I won't repurchase it. It goes a bit in the direction of Coco Mademoiselle, which I personally like much better because it is less sweet, or even a little like So Elixir. One thing I could still try: whether the cold of winter dims the sweetness of the scent a bit. I still have to wait for that. Unfortunately, it cannot compete with the great classics from Givenchy like Organza, Ysatis, Givenchy III, or Eau de Givenchy. However, Dahlia Divin will surely find its admirers.
