True Love Eau de Parfum vs Tendre Poison Parfum
ScentArt
Which Should You Buy?
This is a masterpiece that evokes deep self-love. For those who adore iris and honey with a waxy, powdery, slightly animalic twist, it's utter bliss. But be warned, some noses find the castoreum to be an unbearable 'wet wool' or 'industrial soap' horror.
A truly divisive classic, Tendre Poison demands attention. Forget subtle; this is a bold, unapologetic green floral that either captivates or repels. Definitely not for the faint of heart, it's a statement piece from a bygone era that still has something to say.
