Which Should You Buy?
Poison Extrait is a spellbinding white floral with a dangerous edge - intoxicating, opulent, and unapologetically bold. Not for the faint-hearted, but unforgettable for those who dare.
This one's a proper dark horse from Jo Malone, a cult classic often mourned for its scarcity. It's divisive, with some finding it a unique, warm cacao dream and others, a fleeting, almost waxy mess. Expect a cosy, subtly gourmand experience, but be mindful of its legendary disappearing act for some people.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
The dense, spicy florals and deep vanilla base are ideal for cold or transitional weather, where their opulence blossoms. Overpowering for summer, but magical in autumn and especially winter.
Occasions
With immense sillage and a sultry, dramatic signature, this extrait suits formal evenings and grand occasions best. Too commanding and sensual for office or sporty settings.
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its warm, subtle cacao and often limited projection make it perfect for casual and intimate date settings. It's generally too understated for formal events and unsuitable for sport, while its cosy warmth means it's pretty good for the office if you don't overdo it.
