Which Should You Buy?
A truly iconic, much-missed masterpiece. Midnight Poison is a dark, enigmatic siren that continues to captivate and frustrate in equal measure, with the community still raging over its discontinuation. It’s a polarizing brew, but those who love it, really love it.
240 goes after Dior Midnight Poison's dark rose-vanilla-amber signature, with the citrus opening fading fast and the amber-vanilla base pushed louder and sweeter than the original's smokier, more resinous drydown. A cozy, seductive scent that trades Dior's depth for a simpler sweetness.
