Poison

by Edouard Fléchier

Dior Poison is an Eau de Toilette launched in 1985, created by Edouard Fléchier. Poison opens with Plum, Coriander, Rosewood, and Anise, settles into a heart of Opoponax, Incense, Honey, and Cinnamon, and dries down to a base of Vanilla, Heliotrope, Vetiver, 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.

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

The rich, opulent character and heavy sillage of Poison make it ideal for cold weather. Its deep fruits, spicy florals, and ambery warmth are overwhelming in heat but luxurious in fall and winter.

Poison is far too bold and intense for office or sporty situations, but it shines in formal evening settings or dramatic social occasions where its iconic presence is welcome.

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.
