Poison

by Edouard Fléchier

Dior Poison is a Cologne launched in 1985, created by Edouard Fléchier. Poison opens with Allspice, Plum, Rosewood, and Red Fruits, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, Orange Blossom, and Honey, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Vetiver, Musk, and Cedar. Dior's Poison carries an Acquired verdict, a amber-led wear.

An 80s icon that still turns heads. Vintage Poison Cologne is a smoother, lighter experience than its famous EDP sister, yet still maintains that intoxicating, bold personality. A love-it-or-hate-it classic, it's adored by many for its unique, complex character.

While still a potent fragrance, the Eau de Cologne formulation is generally considered more versatile than its heavier siblings, making it acceptable for office wear in small doses. Its sensual, opulent character is perfect for dates and formal events, though less suited for casual or sport settings due to its intensity and rich profile.

About

Dior Poison EDC bursts onto the scene with a boozy plum and wild berry sweetness, underpinned by a spicy kick of allspice and anise. As it settles, a rich tapestry of indolic tuberose, jasmine, and honey emerges, entwined with warm cinnamon and clove. The dry-down is a cosy embrace of woody amber, vanilla, and musky heliotrope, leaving a memorable, opulent trail.
