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.
No. 29 leans hard into Poison's tuberose-and-plum drama but flattens the original's narcotic, powdery depth into a louder, simpler sweetness, with far shorter legs than the famously room-filling 1985 icon.

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.
