Dior Poison Girl Unexpected is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2018, created by François Demachy. Poison Girl Unexpected opens with Lemon, Blood Orange, and Ginger, settles into a heart of Rose, and dries down to a base of Vanilla, Tonka Bean, Hazelnut, and Cashmeran. Dior's Poison Girl Unexpected carries a Favourite verdict, a vanilla-led wear.

Dior's Poison Girl Unexpected is a divisive flanker, sparking both adoration for its unique ginger kick and frustration over its fleeting performance. It's truly a 'try before you buy' situation, as some find it a playful triumph while others are left utterly unimpressed.

About

A fizzy, vibrant opening of zesty blood orange, sharp lemon, and spicy ginger bursts forth, reminiscent of a gourmet ginger biscuit. This bright and energetic start swiftly mellows into a creamy heart where a subtle rose intertwines with sweet vanilla and tonka. The dry down is a cozy, warm embrace of hazelnut and cashmeran, maintaining a gourmand sweetness without becoming cloying. It's an oriental vanilla with an unexpected spicy-citrus twist.
