Dahlia Divin Givenchy 2014 Eau de Parfum

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 :-)
