Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Hypnotic Poison EDT
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.

Our Verdict - Bewitching Venom EDP
Perfume Parlour's Bewitching Venom chases Dior Hypnotic Poison - the iconic bitter-almond-and-vanilla heart with its creamy coconut and caraway twist is recognisable, but this dupe flattens the dark, syrupy depth and loses the hypnotic edge that made the original a legend.

Season and Occasion Fit

Hypnotic Poison

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
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.

Bewitching Venom

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

The rich bitter-almond, vanilla and creamy coconut base are made for cold autumn and winter wear and turn cloying in summer heat.

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual Formal

Sultry, sweet and seductive - tailored to evenings and dates, with casual daily wear in cooler months; too heavy for sport or office daytime.
