With Spring, all I can think of is florals everywhere, the bright and beautiful, full of life and colors. In this post, I have two new fragrances for women from Givenchy for the spring and summer in this post, Givenchy Live Irrésistible Blossom Crush, and Givenchy Dahlia Divin Eau Initiale.
Givenchy Live Irrésistible Blossom Crush
Givenchy Live Irrésistible Blossom Crush (CAD $113 – 75ml) is a new fragrance for 2018 from the house, a new edition of Live Irrésistible from 2015. The fragrance is a beautiful mix of fresh florals – rose and peony with bittersweet aromas of cocoa beans and musk. The nose behind the fragrance is Dominique Ropion.
From the official description, Live Irrésistible, Givenchy’s most joyful fragrance, boldly sings the praises of joy in its purest form. Its latest variation, Blossom Crush, is a sparkling and irresistibly charming Eau de Toilette that advocates spontaneity as an asset and freedom as power.
Just like its unpredictable heroine, Live Irrésistible Blossom Crush is an astonishing floral bouquet. It reveals an abundance of fresh, delicate petals of roses and peony with a twist of the cocoa bean, the unexpected ingredient which tinges the fragrance with a bittersweet note for an immediate crush.
Adorned with the Givenchy House’s trademark studs enhanced with a luminous mauve hue, the slender facetted bottle is a fresh and modern remedy against the blues.
With Live Irrésistible Blossom Crush, delicateness turns into impertinence, and the crush becomes love at first sight. Eau de Toilette Musky Floral Fresh, Bouquet of Peony and Rose, Cocoa Bean, Musk.
To me, this is more of a young sparkling fragrance for spring, fresh and delicate. I smell peony first when I spray it, the next is rose, the mix is both fresh and a little sweet, please note that it is not overly sweet. The cocoa note is subtle. So basically what I am getting is floral and musk which I am liking this season. The fragrance stays on well for over 6 hours on me and I love the feeling and smell of it in the spring and summer days. Imagine a flowery flowy dress and this fragrance, perfect combination.
Givenchy Live Irrésistible Blossom Crush is available at Shoppers Drug Mart from May 1, 2018.
Givenchy Dahlia Divin Eau Initiale
Givenchy Dahlia Divin Eau Initiale is a new fragrance, a new edition of Dahlia Divin and Dahlia Divin Eau de Parfum Nude which is one of my favorite fragrance and reviewed here. Givenchy Dahlia Divin Eau Initiale (CAD $113 – 75ml) is a floral woody musk scent which is very pleasant and elegant. The top notes of the Givenchy Dahlia Divin Eau Initiale are bergamot and blood orange, the middle notes are magnolia, and the base notes are musk and sandalwood.
From the official description, Dahlia Divin introduces the new Eau Initiale. The aura of a dawn full of promise. A new beginning echoing the origins of time. A fragrance that captures the divine-like power. The delicate perfume of a natural goddess, experiencing the blooming of a new, exquisite day. A fragrance designed around the magnolia, one of the earth's first flowers. Thousands of fresh jasmine and rose petals give this fragrance its crystalline sparkle that is dressed in the sensual, magnetic elegance of woods and musk, as sublime as refined as a Givenchy Haute-Couture gown. A divine force, Dahlia Divin Eau Initiale is a delicate and sensual temptation that lures others closer. Made for a goddess who can’t help but shine, this empowering perfume creates a radiant aura of sophistication. Its fresh and sweet composition succumbs to her need for a fragrance to match her enchanting spirit. Blood orange and bergamot pour themselves over a white floral core of magnolia and jasmine. In the fragrance’s final moments, a creamy base of sandalwood and musk is revealed for a warm and exquisite dry down.
For me, it is a beautiful fragrance for women who dream to succeed and for women who are all about power, elegance, simplicity, and sophistication. I can totally wear this to my meetings and work appointments. The Blood Orange and bergamot blend really nicely together, and give a nice citrusy scent with a hint of sweetness. I get the hints of magnolia mixed with the top notes after some time. The musk and sandalwood give a nice base, make it a warm natural skin scent.
Givenchy Dahlia Divin Eau Initiale is available at Hudson's Bay from April 21, 2018. Do you spot any favorite notes? Let me know which one of both fragrances do you like and would love to try.
