Pure Poison
Pure Poison unfolds as a luminous white floral, where jasmine and gardenia bloom against a sparkling citrus opening. The heart is creamy and soft, with orange blossom adding a honeyed sweetness. As it settles, sandalwood and white amber create a warm, powdery base that feels both clean and sensual. This is a fragrance of quiet confidence, balancing airy freshness with a subtle, skin-hugging depth. It evokes a modern, elegant seductiveness that is more whispered than shouted, leaving a trail of soft, musky warmth.
Perfumer: Dominique Ropion, Carlos Benaim, Olivier Polge
Scent
The opening is a sparkling burst of bergamot and mandarin, quickly joined by the lush, heady scent of jasmine and gardenia. Orange blossom adds a sweet, honeyed touch, while the base of sandalwood and white amber provides a creamy, powdery finish. The overall impression is airy yet deep, with a clean, sensual warmth that lingers close to the skin.
Season and wear
Best suited for spring and early summer, when the air is mild and fresh. Its lightness makes it ideal for daytime, but the warm base allows it to transition gracefully into cool evenings.
Sillage and longevity
Moderate to soft, leaving a subtle trail that is noticeable but not overpowering. Expected to last around 6 to 8 hours, though this can vary depending on skin chemistry and application.
Perfumer and bottle
Released in 2004 as Eau de Parfum. The perfumer credit is Carlos Benaim and Dominique Ropion and Olivier Polge. The selected 100 mL bottle follows prior Dior capacity references where the exact product offers an equivalent size.
