Thank God it’s Friday, right? Well, it’s actually Fresh Friday ’round here, and today we’re profiling Dior’s Hypnotic Poison. I have always admired Dior fashion, but of course, have never been able to afford it — but I’ll enjoy the samplings of perfume while I’ve got them!
Sephora describes Hypnotic Poison as, “Mysterious and mesmerizing, extravagant and bewitching, Hypnotic Poison is a magic potion for modern times. Audacious and profoundly feminine, the fragrance is an unsettling harmony, a fusion of contrasting olfactory facets.”
It has notes of Bitter Almond, Caraway Spice, Sambac Jasmine, Cinnamon, Tuberose, Vanilla, Musk, Mosses, and Jucarunda Wood.
Hypnotic Poison came onto the scene in 1998, and is known for its heavy vanilla scent. A simple glance at some online fragrance forums (yes, those exist) and you’ll see that users have noticed a difference in the scent they bought in 1998, and 2011, and then another difference in 2014.
I haven’t seen anything “official” about Dior changing the formula of the original scent, but if you’ve smelled it before, you might want to spritz a little on before purchasing, as users are saying the “new” version isn’t as complex as the original —sad day if you loved it.
I was pleasantly surprised when I sprayed this on — it’s very warm, and delicious smelling, like something in the oven (seriously). I sprayed in on around 8 am, and at 2pm, it’s still smelling wondrous.
