Dior Hypnotic Poison is an Eau de Toilette launched in 1998, created by Annick Menardo. Hypnotic Poison opens with Apricot, Plum, and Coconut, settles into a heart of Caraway, Rosewood, Rose, and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Musk, Sandalwood, Vanilla, and Almond. Dior's Hypnotic Poison carries an Acquired verdict, a sweet-led wear.

A decadent wave of vanilla and almond with creamy coconut and a powdery, balsamic veil. Hypnotic Poison is a sweet, sensuous, and unmistakably feminine classic that intoxicates and comforts in equal measure.

About

Hypnotic Poison Eau de Toilette envelops you in a rich, creamy embrace of vanilla and almond, laced with coconut and a subtle fruity juiciness. The fragrance opens with a gourmand burst, revealing lush white florals and a soft woody undertone. The powdery, nutty core melts into warm sandalwood, musk, and a lingering trail of sweet balsamic vanilla. Addictive, mysterious, and deeply comforting, it is a scent that lingers on skin like a forbidden dessert-perfect for those who want to be remembered.
