Dior Hypnotic Poison was launched in 1998, the creation of Annick Menardo. Pungent with spices and florals, very rich and smooth with vanilla and sandalwood. Now, you may think this is old school oriental, but it is really lovely if you are just a little patient with it.
A luxurious woody Oriental vanilla blend of jasmine, amber, caraway, almond, oakmoss and sandalwood. Hypnotic Poison is an eau de toilette, EDT.
From Bois de Jasmin - "warm sensuality of delicate, rather than animalic musk fills the arrangement, touching it gently at first and then embracing the composition fully. Ambery richness juxtaposed with the creamy sandalwood lends another interesting facet, which is almost akin to throwing red silk over a lamp. Suddenly, the hues deepen, while the forms soften, and yet the arrangement retains its radiance."
From Basenotes - "A perfume wrapped in an ultra-soft and smooth-velvety plucheness, round, thick and so smooth, you actually wanna stroke and hug it- extremely comfortable as it is. It delivers straight off the bat with a fresh not-sour 'blackberry on cocosnut' tonality that quickly blows up big and soft like an aircushion. Violet-leaf, helitrope, lactonic-vanilla, indolic-jasmine on musk, and a slight smoky, clean (ceder)wood with hot-rubbery and camphorous undertones of burlap, create a very harmonious and very recognizable scent-profile full of personality and character. Extremely well blended, it feels like the accelerarion of a Bentley, effortless but very high performance at the same time. A classic"
From Makeup Alley - "I was 18 or less when I got a sample of this. I was having a dinner at my grandma's and sniffing the sample thinking "omg this is amazing." I was too young to be confident enough to wear this but I admired it so much. I imagined a gorgeous woman smelling like this and hoped to become one one day.. 20 years later and I am so ready to rock this fragrance. I still feel the same admiration as I felt back then."
I wanted to love this so badly - just by hearing reviews from others. I don't get it though. On me, it smells like a generic designer perfume. It is great, but just smells like so many other perfumes. It didn't last on me either, got about 4-5 hours on my skin before it faded .
