Dior 1994 EDT
Tendre Poison
Dior Tendre Poison is an Eau de Toilette launched in 1994, created by Edouard Fléchier. Tendre Poison opens with Mandarin, Bergamot, Rosewood, and Asafoetida, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom, Rose, Tuberose, and Freesia, and dries down to a base of Musk, Sandalwood, Heliotrope, and Vanilla. Dior's Tendre Poison carries a Statement verdict, a floral-led wear.
This 90s classic divides opinion with its unapologetic green opening, but settles into a distinctive honeyed white floral. It's a love-it-or-hate-it scent with killer longevity.What our verdicts mean →

Scent Profile
Composition
Timeline
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.

Best Seasons
A spring fragrance - light, bright, made for the warmer turn of the year.
Best Occasions
With strong sillage and long-lasting performance, this isn't one for a cramped office, but its unique green-floral character makes it stand out for dates, formal events, and even casual wear when applied lightly. Many reviewers mentioned it as a signature scent for feeling special.
