Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Poison Parfum
A legendary scent that's rich, dark, and utterly intoxicating. It's bolder and more potent than the EDT, a true collector's gem for those who appreciate a powerhouse fragrance with a touch of vintage allure.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Poison EDP
Copycat's Poison echoes Dior's legendary plum-tuberose formula, but the tuberose comes through softer and the amber base less dense than the original's famously loud, room-filling 1980s sillage, giving a toned-down, more modern read.
