Poison in detail
Poison Eau de Toilette is Dior's oriental, which the house describes as rich, spicy, floral and ambery, with honey and musk accords. Its page gives neither the year nor the perfumer.
Dior presents its notes one by one. At the top, fresh, peppery, zesty coriander opens the composition with mystery. In the heart, tuberose, a white flower brought from India to Europe in the 17th century, adds jasmine-like, fruity facets. In the base, opoponax, a velvety, balsamic resin, sets down a warm trail.
Poison is worn in autumn and winter, mostly in the evening. It is a spicy, heady oriental, for those who love intense, assertive fragrances. It finds its place at a dressy evening or a dinner, where its character fully expresses itself.
Three niche ambers in our catalogue share some of its materials: Decas by Xerjoff brings together tuberose and opoponax; Jubilation XXV Man by Amouage pairs coriander and opoponax; Volutes by Diptyque shares opoponax.
