Composition
Poison by Dior is a Amber Floral fragrance for women. Poison was launched in 1985. Poison was created by Edouard Flechier and Maurice Roger. Top notes are Plum, Wild Berries, Coriander, Anise and Brazilian Rosewood; middle notes are Tuberose, Incense, White Honey, Cinnamon, Opoponax, Carnation, Jasmine, African Orange Flower and Rose; base notes are Vanille, Amber, Sandalwood, Heliotrope, Musk, Vetiver
Plum and wild berries open dark and juicy, coriander and anise spicing them like mulled wine. Tuberose, incense, and white honey thicken the heart into something almost sacred, cinnamon and opoponax glowing like coals, and the vanilla-amber base burns slow and deep. To me it smells like a temple where someone is celebrating something secret. Richer and more mysterious than the original — a Poison for initiates. Not for beginners — beginners stay away.
