Description of Dior’s Poison Hypnotic Perfume


The perfume Hypnotic Poison is one of the many versions of the classic scent Poison which celebrated its 30th anniversary in 2015. But this version, like the Pure Poison version, has survived and is loved by many.

Hypnotic Poison appeared in 1998; with a femme fatale image, the perfume evokes feelings of danger, temptation and seduction.

Perfumer Annick Menardo put all her talent into this version in order to outdo the success of the classic Poison. The first facet is bitter almond, which is a food high in cyanide content and thus poisonous if eaten in large quantities. This almond has a very particular smell and gives a milky touch, creating the first layer of this perfume.

To this first layer, she has added the scent of licorice and caraway, which gives an anise-like touch, followed by exotic coconut. From this fruity note, we begin to note the nuances reminiscent of the classic composition, with Sambac jasmine, lily of the valley, tuberose, and rose. This mixture creates a smooth and elegant accord with creamy coconut and sandalwood.

Finally, it gains intensity through vanilla with a concentration of nearly 15%, developing the oriental feel and warmth of this perfume.

Due to its intensity, this perfume is most suitable to wear in autumn and winter.

Most women who have tried this perfume like it, more than 80%, and what almost all women agree on is that it’s long-lasting.
