Poison - 29

Name: Poison - 29 Eau de Parfum
Brand: The Essence Vault

The Essence Vault Poison - 29 is an Eau de Parfum. Poison - 29 opens with Berries, Coriander, and Plum, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Tuberose, and Honey, and dries down to a base of Spicy Notes, Musk, and Incense. The Essence Vault's Poison - 29 carries a Statement verdict, a fruity-led wear.

No. 29 leans hard into Poison's tuberose-and-plum drama but flattens the original's narcotic, powdery depth into a louder, simpler sweetness, with far shorter legs than the famously room-filling 1985 icon.

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.

About

Inspired by Dior's legendary Poison, No. 29 opens with a jammy rush of plum and dark berries before a big, honeyed tuberose takes over the heart, backed by a soft spiced-incense base. It captures the original's opulent, after-dark boldness and its signature fruity-white-floral contrast reasonably well, but the blend reads flatter and less layered than vintage Poison's narcotic, powdery complexity, and the sweetness sits more upfront and simple. Where the original commands a room for over twelve hours, this version is louder in the first hour and fades to a skin-scent within four to six, making it a fun, budget-friendly way to try the silhouette of an 80s icon rather than a true stand-in for it. Best worn in cool weather, after dark, by anyone who wants a confident, statement-making sweetness without vintage Poison's intensity or price tag.
