Dior Poison is a Cologne launched in 1985, created by Edouard Fléchier. Poison opens with Red Fruits, Anise, Rosewood, and Coriander, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom, Rose, Jasmine, and Tuberose, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Cedar, and Sandalwood. Dior's Poison carries an Acquired verdict, an 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.

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.
