Dior Hypnotic Poison Review

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.

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!

I absolutely love this perfume! My all time favourite! Such a beautiful smell makes you feel sophisticated and mature! Last on clothes for upto weeks! Gorgeous xxxx

Dior has the best fragrances, I have so many favourites that I keep on buying again and again. Dior is excellent quality and just pure elegance to me.

I adore this scent, I use it all the time. It is a lovely fragrance, spicy, vanilla, exotic and really feminine/sexy.

It's one I wear when I go out at night to dinner or parties. It's one of those fragrances that is so unique- you either love it or hate it. I absolutely love it!

The bottle is also as unique as the fragrance, with it's red little potion looking bottle. It looks stunning on my dresser.

The fragrance seems to last a long time. A couple of sprays, and later on in the day I can still smell this lovely fragrance. An awesome product.

This is my all time favorite perfume! I've been wearing it since I was 16. It's just amazing. If you like vanilla you will love this as the base is vanilla. It's sweet but not too sweet, it's sultry and so delicious. Every time I wear it I get multiple comments and compliments for both men and women. You only need a very small amount and it lasts all day! It's just beautiful and if you haven't smelt it, go straight to farmers or a pharmacy and try it!! You won't regret it! I love the gift pack it comes in over xmas time, it comes with the scented body cream, so luxurious. I love!

the bottle of this is gorgeous like the poisoness apple in snow white ! its a perfect shape no over the top lids great for handbang as well .

I spray once a day onto the inner elbow area and and behind ear lobe ( pulse points helps smell last longer with your body heat) and this lasts all day I get compliments constantly .

The smell isnt over powering it has a top note of almond, heart note of sambac jasmine and a base note of vanilla , these together smell devine !

you can also purchse a body lotion sometime you can get them in a package .

I think it is deffinetly worth the price tag , it is dior for starters , it lasts allday and night .

Of all the Dior perfumes, I would have to say this is my fave! It smells quite like vanilla, very strong, but totally intoxicating. The box is quite pretty and eye catching, and the bottle is gorgeous. It sits pretty with my other perfumes and I would recommend this to anyone. I get lots of compliments, and headturns, it really makes me feel good. The longevity of the product comes down to how well you look after it. If you place in a dark, damp place, the scent last longer as oppose to leaving it in the sun, where the scent dissipates. I have had my perfume for 3months and use it everyday, so it is definitely worth the price and a great buy. I payed $120.00 for this at Farmers.

This was the first fragrance that I purchased myself, as my other perfumes had been gifts. I had decided that I wanted something sweeter than my other perfumes and this really is the sweetest of them all. It smells like vanilla, vanilla, aaand, vanilla. There really isn't much more too it and this doesn't change throughout the day. The bottle is basic and sturdy, which isn't particularly exciting but ensures that it remains classy and good for the handbag or travel.

At the time of purchasing vanilla was my favourite scent, although after a few weeks I realised that I didn't actually want to smell of vanilla myself. I now prefer to wear a very small spray of Hypnotic Poison alongside a fresh, fruitier fragrance. This really is personal preference.

To me, Hypnotic Poison is a deep, nightime fragrance that lacks sophistication. At $135 for 50ml, I do regret purchasing it as a fragrance that I cannot wear alone. For somebody who loves the scent, the price would be great, as one spray goes a long way and it is long lasting on the skin. My preferences have changed since I purchased this fragrance. My once sweet tooth has been replaced by a savory palate and a preference for fresh and fruity scents. Hypnotic Poison would be better suited to somebody who remains addicted to sweet, girly scents. Dior Hypnotic Poison is very comparable to Katy Perry Meow, so if you love that, you will love this.

This is my all time favorite Perfume. However it is only a once in a while purchase as it is quite highly priced. The scent last all of the day and into the night. Always get compliments when wearing it

I tried this product when i was 15 and had never forgotten the smell im now 30 and just brought it and it is exactly as i remembered i love it.
