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.
