Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Poison Eau de Toilette

A legendary statement scent, Poison is unapologetically bold, mysterious, and complex. Its intoxicating blend of plum, tuberose, incense, and amber is unforgettable and not for the faint of heart.

Our Verdict - Guidance Eau de Parfum

Guidance is a serious love-it-or-hate-it affair, a beast-mode scent that demands attention. Prepare for effusive compliments or utter revulsion - this isn't for the faint-hearted.

Season and Occasion Fit

Poison Eau de Toilette

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

The rich, opulent character and heavy sillage of Poison make it ideal for cold weather. Its deep fruits, spicy florals, and ambery warmth are overwhelming in heat but luxurious in fall and winter.

Occasions

Best For:

Formal

Also Works:

Date

Poison is far too bold and intense for office or sporty situations, but it shines in formal evening settings or dramatic social occasions where its iconic presence is welcome.

Guidance Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

Also Works:

Spring

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Its nuclear projection and lasting power make it too much for most office environments, often drawing unwanted attention. However, its bold, luxurious profile is perfect for intimate dates or formal events where you want to make a statement, especially given the high compliment factor.
