This perfume is already so beautiful when just looking at the bottle... it does give you the idea of a poison bottle which is cool... the bottle feels a mix between smooth and a bit rubbery....
As for the perfume, it is the most intoxicatiing mix of sweet and musky and irresistible. Just placing the nozzle to your nose gives you the smell before even spraying it on..
Once sprayed, it fills the air with the most beautiful scent... i could smell this all day!!
Of course, its not for those who are not into sweet smells...
I find this perfume lasts long on me and i get compliments each and every time i use it.... Its my definite go to when i am out of my main perfume.
I would buy it to just keep as i love it sooo much!!
For those who love the sweet and feminine smell.. this is for you!
This was one of Dior's masterpiece creations before the brand started watering down their scents and reformulated the life out of their fragrance range.
The review I am writing is for a bottle of the current formulation. This is identified by the gold ring under the cap (the older versions have a black lid & cap).
There isn't a huge difference in the smell between the original and the current formulation. The difference is mainly around the lasting power and sillage.
While the original lingers on clothing for over a week, the new scent lasts an hour max.
In terms of the scent itself, it is difficult to describe much like the rest of the poison range. The scent doesn't lend itself easily to any broad category (e.g. oriental; gourmand,etc) and it doesn't do the scent any justice by trying to lump into one. I do notice, however, a dominant vanilla well blended amongst a number of other notes
Instead, it is a very unique scent with no other similar scents on the market.
Tips: You really have to try it to see whether it is right for you. If I had to sum up the smell in one word, it would be 'luxury'
