In a Gold and white affair at the Pariah State in Avondale this week, invited guests experienced the launch of Givenchy’s newest fragrance, Dahlia Divin perfume.
Dubbed the iconic haute couture alter ego of the Dahlia, those present were taken through the journey of the fragrance.
The fragrance was inspired by a modern myth that started in the magical heart of Paris.
“Hidden away in a magnificent, Haussmann apartment is a mysterious wooden box containing a magical doll, protected by a fine myriad of golden gossamer threads, as she sleeps.
“That is, until one afternoon. The subtle shimmer of gold. Her eyes open and she gracefully rises to her feet. She is released from her wooden box as it gently falls away. As if on cue, a beam golden light and music swirls around her. She emerges from the magical cocoon swathed in an Haute Couture gown made of gold and precious fabrics. As she steps out into the world in a symphony of gold and light, she knows it’s her time to shine. She is…Divine.,” so goes the modern legend.
Dahlia Divin: When gold meets fragrance…
The magical scent is said to be a celebration the magnetic beauty and Dahlia’s golden aura.
What is fashion without a complementing fragrance?
“Like a Haute Couture dress, her golden scent envelops the skin perfectly with a warm, floral, woody fragrance that, like its muse, is impossible to ignore. Radiant. Sensual. Refined. Divine.”
Multiple award winner and songstress, Alicia Keys is the face of the fragrance.
While it was unfortunate that she “could not make the launch” she sent her regards in a video message at the event that was marked by all things glitz and glam.
