List The Poisons!

1) POISON. Normally I would put HP at the top, but these days I'm in awe
over the masterpiece that is vintage Poison. I bought a couple of bottles off
of Xmen's salesthread, and by God, it's goooood!

2) HYPNOTIC POISON. How anybody can dislike this juice is beyond me!
It's so damn delicious, it's to die for. I always feel like drinking it, it's that
good. Marzipan and vanilla galore ... damn!

4) MIDNIGHT POISON. The sweet Kinok made me love this. I wasn't feeling it at
first, but he made me re-sample it, and bang; I love it. A dark rose scent, which
totally lives up to it's name. The most unisex Poison on the market, can easily be
worn by a man ... easily!

4) TENDRE POISON. Catpee to some, Jesus juice to others. A fresh floral which is,
at the moment, suffering a slow death. Bottle up while you still can ...

5) PURE POISON. The only Poison flanker I do not own. It does nothing for me.

Cant really list the original Poison; only had it in pure parfum when it first was launched, and think I used it once, since I found it far too potent at the time... BUT, as you all know . the times they are a changin!
Hypnotic Poison: More bitter than sweet to me, but drop dead sexy.

Tendre Poison: Fresh, sharp, well-balanced semi-oriental floral with the right amount of sweetness for my taste. Jesus juice, indeed!

Pure Poison: The most wonderful topnotes ever emanating out of a bottle. Jasmine, orange blossom...Great sillage to begin with, but very soon turn into a skin scent. Great staying power, though, but kinda weak in feeling.

Midnight Poison: Always confuses this one with Britney´s Midnight Fantasy...my least fave of the line.

Poison - Vintage EdT

One of my all-time favorites. Thick, radiant, dark, musky floriantal; combative florals and creamy oriental musk

Poison - Vintage Esprit de Parfum

Thicker, creamier, more of an oriental Poison.

Posion - Modern EdT

I love this, but the drydown isn't as good as in the vintage.

Pure Poison - EdP

Kind of like Poison Lite. Exceedingly pleasant, but I think if I wanted Poison without the oriental there are better florals.

Hypnotic Poison - EdT

Pleasant, edgeless gourmand. I'm kind of neutral on this due to the sweetness factor, but it's certainly strong.

Midnight Poison - EdP

Don't like this. It's kind of a swamp of rosy patchouli-ish something.

Tendre Poison - EdT

Sharp and nasty!

Poison:classy and unique scent by Dior House

Pure Poison:i like the neroli-jasmin combination;sweet and soft floral.

Hypnotic Poison:the combination of licorice-vanilla and rosewood ;deep vanilla floriental scent!This is my best!

Midnight poison:deep minty-patchouli scent ,not my favorite (the mint is not listed as one of its notes but i get something like it)

Tentre Poison:this one hard-to-find :greenish -sharp and woody floral scent!

Are you sure, it's not the Elixir you're talking about, miss Sophi?!
The Elixir has star anise in it, the regular EdT does not..!

I need to get a hold of this Elixir! Anise / Star Anise + Hypnotic Poison sounds fun.

Hi Duc,
I am talking about EDP of Hypnotic Poison and i forgot to say that i sense a leathery note,too.THAT leathery note is the most attractive for me to adore the whole synthesis of it.By the way ,do you sense the minty note in Midnight poison?

Hypnotic Poison is the best of the bunch.
The tuberose goes so prettily along the vanilla. Almost edible.

Miss Sophi - You can get Hypnotic Poison in regular Eau de Toilette and
the Elixir is an Eau de Parfum Intensé ... I reckon you mean the Elixir?!

I don't get mint in Midnight either, funny, how two noses detect diferent things, right?!

Get your ass to the nearest parfumerie, Sugandaraja, you're gonna love it!

Mr.Duc, I own EDT of HP and i have tried EDP or Elixir as officially called it!I find both of them wonderful scents!EDT version is more rich in notes , warmer and sweeter than Elixir!And yes,..the note of anise makes the difference between Elixir and toillette version !!!
I 'd like to refer licorise ,may be it is the sweet almond note in toillete that makes me confused it with licorice!!
My nose plays tricks on me ... like the way i smell mint in Midnight Poison ...

Greetings fellow Poison lovers. Actually I am a Dior lover in general!
My favourite poison is definitely Hypnotic Poison Elixir. Annick Menardo is
a genius and has excelled with this gem.

Midnight Poison disappears after 10 minutes! WHY?

Must be nose fatigue, madame maîtresse ... Midnight is one of the strongest Poisons,
it last forever, and then some, on me ... and my skin usually eat up fragrances within
a couple of hours! Strange!

I owned the original Poison EDT in the 80's, and loved it, mostly because it shocked people, and made them grimace, its very powerful, and i think i was too young to be wearing it.

I had many bottles of Tendre Poison EDT, and one of EDP, and adored them both, sharply floral, and green, i wore it all the time. Great sillage and longevity, and loads of compliments. Very sexy.it was my signature fragrance for a couple of years, i still complain about them discontinuing it, and am always looking out for a bargain on Ebay, but i have seen fakes on there.

Hypnotic Poison EDT well i just love this, it's beautiful almondy, edible, sweet vanillary goodness just encloses me in a cloud of feel- good comfort all day. I need to replace my bottle of EDT, and having seen the reviews of the EDP, I think I may go with that this time round.

Pure Poison EDP - my husband bought me this for Valentine's Day, so i feel as if i should like it, however i'm not very impressed with it. I am a newcomer to basenotes, and not good at teasing out the notes, but this one, it doesn't seem to have any of the stuff in it that i like in a scent. Or maybe i should have got the EDT. I'm not a big fan of it anyway it's just a kind of jasminey flowery scent, and it doesn't last very long on me either.

Midnight Poison EDT - i tried this the other day, and my reaction was ewwwww. Not me at all, but. Thnk i'd be better able to judge that, if they'd be a bit more forthcoming with samples. I'm reserving judgment for now

I'm very much looking forward to sampling the new Hypnotic Sensuelle. But for now Tendre Poison is still in first place, closely followed by Hypnotic Poison.
