Hypnotic Poison
Hypnotic Poison opens with a bitter almond bite and juicy fruits, then blooms into a floral heart of jasmine and spice. The drydown is a creamy, powdery vanilla and sandalwood embrace that lingers close to the skin. It is a sweet yet mysterious oriental gourmand, both comforting and dangerously seductive, a true icon of Dior's Poison legacy.
Perfumer: Annick Menardo
Scent
The opening is a bittersweet burst of almond and ripe fruits, with a hint of spice. The heart reveals a lush floral bouquet of jasmine and tuberose, softened by creamy woods. The base is a warm, powdery vanilla and sandalwood that feels both comforting and dangerously alluring.
Season and wear
Best suited for autumn and winter, when its warm, enveloping vanilla and spice can shine. Ideal for cool evenings and special occasions, adding a touch of mystery and sensuality to any outfit.
Sillage and longevity
Moderate sillage, leaving a noticeable trail within arm's length. It projects well but not overwhelmingly, making it suitable for intimate settings and close encounters. Long-lasting on the skin, with a conservative estimate of several hours. The scent evolves slowly, maintaining a noticeable presence throughout the day.
Perfumer and bottle
Released in 1998 as Eau de Toilette. The perfumer credit is Annick Ménardo. The selected 100 mL bottle follows prior Dior capacity references where the exact product offers an equivalent size.
