The winter weight for summer signatures.

Autumn
Winter
Unisex

Adds chestnut-vanilla warmth and smoke to lighter scents — converts a daytime signature into something evening-ready in cold weather.

Layering Tip

Spray the heavier scent first, then the lighter one on top. Start with two scents — more than three quickly becomes muddled. Always test on skin first.

AI Review Summary

Synthesised from fragrance data

Dahliya is a lush, fruit-forward floral that leads with a bright burst of pear, peach, and mandarin before settling into a generous bouquet of rose, tuberose, and jasmine at its heart. The blackberry and vanilla base add a soft, slightly gourmand warmth that keeps it from feeling too green or soapy, giving the whole thing a rounded, approachable femininity. At R40 for a decant, it's genuinely one of the most accessible ways to explore Middle Eastern-style florals without committing to a full bottle, and the price point makes it a no-brainer to try. It's best suited to spring and early summer days — think a casual lunch or a shopping trip — where its cheerful, uncomplicated character can shine without feeling overdressed.
