About this fragrance
Poison
Poison is an Oriental Spicy eau de toilette for women, launched by Christian Dior in 1985 as one of the most audacious and divisive feminine fragrances ever created. Dark, powerful and intoxicating, it opens with plum, orange and honey before a heart of opopanax, cinnamon and rose builds a richly spiced, almost gothic floral oriental character. Civet, sandalwood and amber anchor the base with a deep, animalic and intensely long-lasting dry down. A fragrance of extraordinary conviction, suited to women who wear their personality boldly and uncompromisingly.
Poison remains a benchmark of feminine daring in perfumery, and one of the most recognisable and discussed fragrances in the Dior canon.

What to Expect
The opening is dark and richly fruity, with plum and honey delivering an almost overripe sweetness alongside orange's warm citrus brightness. Opopanax, cinnamon and rose develop the heart into a deeply spiced, resinous floral oriental with genuine ferocity and drama. Civet, sandalwood, and amber bring the dry down to a warm, animalic, enveloping finish that clings to skin and clothing for extraordinary lengths of time. As an EDT, longevity is exceptional at eight to twelve hours or more; best suited to evenings, cooler months, and bold occasions.
