Dior Poison is an Eau de Toilette 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, a fruity-led wear.

A legendary statement scent, Poison is unapologetically bold, mysterious, and complex. Its intoxicating blend of plum, tuberose, incense, and amber is unforgettable and not for the faint of heart.

About

Poison Eau de Toilette by Dior is a masterwork of 1980s opulence - a dark, hypnotic swirl of juicy plum and wild berries melting into lush tuberose and smoky incense. The heart pulses with honeyed florals and spicy opoponax, while a resinous base of amber, vanilla, sandalwood, and musk lingers with immense depth and power. Radiant yet shadowy, Poison projects with nuclear force and envelops the wearer in an aura of enigmatic femininity. Sensual, commanding, and endlessly intriguing, it is a perfume that leaves a haunting impression long after you leave the room.
