Dior Midnight Poison is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2007, created by Jacques Cavallier-Belletrud, Olivier Cresp, and François Demachy. Midnight Poison opens with Bergamot and Mandarin, settles into a heart of Rose, and dries down to a base of Amber, Patchouli, and Vanilla. Dior's Midnight Poison carries an Acquired verdict, a floral-led wear.

A truly iconic, much-missed masterpiece. Midnight Poison is a dark, enigmatic siren that continues to captivate and frustrate in equal measure, with the community still raging over its discontinuation. It’s a polarizing brew, but those who love it, really love it.

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

Midnight Poison opens with a deep, almost bitter bergamot and mandarin that quickly folds into a dark, gothic rose heart. This isn't your grandma's rose-garden scent; it's cold, restrained, and sits atop a powerful, earthy patchouli base. The amber and a whisper of vanilla add a touch of warm sweetness without ever turning truly gourmand, creating a complex, mysterious aura. It's a scent of intriguing contrasts, blending chilly sophistication with an underlying warmth.
