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.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Its bold projection and rich, spicy-woody nature, often described as 'dark' and 'dramatic', make it less suitable for office or casual daytime wear. However, its sophisticated and sensual character, combined with long-lasting performance, makes it perfect for dates and evening formal events.
