Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

Hypnotic Poison Eau de Parfum is a decadent, intoxicating blend that opens with a rush of licorice and creamy almond, immediately drawing you into its spell. The heart glows with lush jasmine sambac and orange blossom, adding a sensual, white floral depth. At its core, opulent vanilla and tonka bean create a sweet, almost edible warmth, while hints of coconut and amber add exotic richness. Potent, long-lasting, and unforgettable, this iconic Dior creation lingers like a sultry, forbidden embrace.
