Which Should You Buy?
A decadent wave of vanilla and almond with creamy coconut and a powdery, balsamic veil. Hypnotic Poison is a sweet, sensuous, and unmistakably feminine classic that intoxicates and comforts in equal measure.
No. 268 chases Dior's Hypnotic Poison almond-vanilla-tuberose signature closely on paper, but the bitter-almond intensity is dialled down and the sillage tapers off well before the original's famously hypnotic trail.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
The rich vanilla, almond, and balsamic notes bloom in cool to cold weather, making Hypnotic Poison ideal for fall and winter. It can work on cool spring nights but is too heavy and sweet for hot summer days.
Occasions
Its sensual sweetness and projection are best suited to romantic evenings, nights out, or special occasions. It can be too assertive and gourmand for daytime office or sporty wear.
