Dior Pure Poison is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2004, created by Carlos Benaïm, Dominique Ropion, and Olivier Polge. Pure Poison opens with Bergamot, Orange, Mandarin, and Jasmine, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom and Gardenia, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Cedar, and Sandalwood. Dior's Pure Poison carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

Pure Poison is a crystalline white floral with a fresh, radiant aura that feels both innocent and quietly seductive. Its jasmine-gardenia heart sparkles atop musk and woods, making it a modern classic for those who want to feel luminous and self-assured.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Fall
Also Works:
Summer

Sparkling citrus and radiant white florals make Pure Poison ideal for spring and early fall, with enough warmth from musk and sandalwood to carry it into cooler months. Its freshness and lightness suit mild weather best, while the creamy floral heart avoids becoming cloying in heat.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal

Elegant, clean projection and a luminous yet non-overpowering trail make this a versatile choice for office, daytime, and especially romantic occasions. Its sophistication and freshness can fit for formal wear, though the sensuality of its musky floral heart shines best for dates.

About

Pure Poison opens with a luminous burst of bergamot, orange, and mandarin, ushering in an opulent heart of jasmine, gardenia, and orange blossom that glows with purity and intensity. The base is silky and sensual, as creamy sandalwood and white musk add a clean, caressing depth softened by white amber and cedar. The effect is both fresh and enveloping, projecting a hypnotic yet understated elegance. An iconic white floral with a modern, radiant twist.
