Which Should You Buy?
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.
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Poison - a fruity fragrance led by Anise, Wild Berries, Plum, with sweet depth. Expect a softer, closer-to-skin take on the original - the signature intact, the projection gentler.

Performance
Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
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
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.
Seasons
Best in spring and summer - the fruity, sweet profile suits those conditions, while extremes of heat or cold flatten the dupe's lighter composition.
Occasions
Keep it for casual and daily - the fruity accord gives presence while the gentle projection keeps it crowd-friendly.
