Tendre Poison

by Edouard Fléchier

Dior Tendre Poison is a Parfum launched in 1994, created by Edouard Fléchier. Tendre Poison opens with Tangerine, Rosewood, Asafoetida, and Galbanum, settles into a heart of Freesia, Rose, Neroli, and Honey, and dries down to a base of Heliotrope, Sandalwood, Musk, and Vanilla. Dior's Tendre Poison carries an Acquired verdict, a citrus-led wear.

A truly divisive classic, Tendre Poison demands attention. Forget subtle; this is a bold, unapologetic green floral that either captivates or repels. Definitely not for the faint of heart, it's a statement piece from a bygone era that still has something to say.

About

Opens with an intensely green, almost medicinal blast of galbanum and asafoetida, sharpened by bergamot and rosewood, before a rich, honeyed heart of tuberose and rose takes centre stage. The floral sweetness is grounded by a powdery, creamy base of sandalwood, vanilla, and heliotrope, leaving a complex, enduring trail that's both challenging and alluring.
