Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Hypnotic Poison Eau de Toilette

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.

Statement

Our Verdict - Sotto Voce Eau de Parfum

A beloved 90s classic, Sotto Voce is desperately missed by its dedicated fanbase. This 'irresistible whisper' of peach, wood, and vanilla is universally adored but sadly impossible to find at a fair price. Bring it back, Laura Biagiotti!

Spring

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

Best For:

Date

Also Works:

Casual Formal

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.
