Hypnotic Poison
Hypnotic Poison by Dior is a feminine-leaning eau de toilette from 1998 in the designer price tier. It opens with apricot, plum and coconut, moves into jasmine, caraway and rose and dries down to vanilla, almond, musk and sandalwood. Expect around 10 hours of wear, and it projects very strongly.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Apricot Warm, jammy stone fruit. Often hiding inside osmanthus.
- Plum Dark, wine-like and slightly stewed. Autumnal.
- Coconut Creamy and tropical. Suncream in the best possible way.
Heart
- Jasmine Heady, sweet and slightly animal underneath. Rarely subtle.
- Caraway Warm, seedy and slightly aniseed. Rye bread in a bottle.
- Rose Can be jammy, green, peppery or soapy depending on the type. Not one smell.
Dry-down
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
- Almond Marzipan and cherry-stone. Sweet with a bitter undertone.
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
- Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
