Hypnotic Poison in detail
According to Dior, Hypnotic Poison Eau de Toilette is an ambery, vanilla variation on Poison, launched by the house in 1985. The fragrance plays with the myth of the forbidden fruit; its page gives neither its year nor its perfumer.
The pyramid is short, with one material per tier. Slightly bitter almond gives the first impression. Jasmine sambac forms a luminous floral heart. Vanilla, in the base, brings a lightly spicy softness that wraps the whole.
Hypnotic Poison is worn in autumn and winter, mostly in the evening. It is a vanilla amber with a troubling edge, for those who like gourmand fragrances without too much sugar. It naturally finds its place at an evening party or a dinner.
Three niche amber fragrances in our catalogue share some of its materials: Althaïr Exclusif by Parfums de Marly pairs almond and vanilla; Decas by Xerjoff and Side Effect by Initio Parfums Privés share vanilla, in woodier or spicier compositions.
