Yum

I am a huge huge fan of the original poison. I would rate this scent much higher if only I hadn't smelt it first.

I sometimes find this smell a little sickly when I sniff the bottle. However, the afternotes are gorgeous and it's a smell that works with me all day and gets better as the day progresses.

The bottle is a pearl coloured version of the original poison bottle, nothing fancy or flashy, but not uneasy on the eye. Being short and squat it also has the advantage of not toppling over easily like a lot of my tall slender bottles do.

The price, like any high end perfume, is definitely on the high side. You do get what you pay for in the world of perfume though in my humble opinion.

Tips: Look out for gift sets around Christmas time. Using the matching body lotion really will extend the wear of your perfume

Pure poison

Best of all the poison range. Oldy but a goody. Well priced also. I have had plenty of compliments when wearing it. Asked all the time what perfume am I wearing. Some people don't like it as it's a little sweet smelling but it can't suit everyone.

Tips: Only need a little as it's quality and lasts

Lovely Smell

This perfume is one for a true lady, this scent reminds me of a crisp white shirt and a black skirt, its a very defined smell and cannot be mistaken for another.

Tips: Mix with the pure poison lotion after a morning shower for all day scent

I love perfumes that smells sophisticated and layered.

You are right about it not being mistakable for another. I always get pulled up by women who say ahhh, pure poison when I am wearing it. Have never had this happen with another scent

Pure Poison by Dior

This was one of the first perfumes that I bought for myself. I thought it was a good choice for me as a teen. I was partly influenced by my mom who wore Poision, the one in the dark purple bottle. I liked this one because it smelt more fresh and a little less sweet than my mom's. It was one of those perfumes that when I smelt it I knew it was the one for me, loved the opening notes of jasmine and orange and that instead of musk to give it depth it had sandalwood and amber. I'm not a huge fan musk, as it comes across to me as a more masculine scent, and I ideally didn't want to smell like musk once the top and middle notes faded. Like a good quality fragrance it lasted and lingered on my skin for hours. The bottle is this pretty opalescent flower shaped one. While this iconic perfume is still a favorite my current tastes have shifted towards some other fragrances that have been more affordable as well, although I would never object to receiving a bottle of Dior Pure Poison.

Tips: Spray on pulse points. Heat and light can change the fragrance over time so it's best stored out of sunlight and heat.

Sophisticated and gorgeous perfume

I personally love this perfume. It is one of my favourite perfumes, both for it's gorgeous scent and it's ability to last all day. Delicate, feminine and sweet, yet not overpowering. I love the cute little bottle too, and it's price is quite decent considering it's size and quality.

Tips: Test before purchasing so you know it's the right fragrance for you. Layering it with the body lotion is great for adding additional fragrance and lasting power.

Amazing!

Personally, I absolutely LOVE this fragrance. It is definitely one of my favourites and I'm still a huge fan 7 years after first discovering it. I have received nothing but compliments when wearing it and I literally cannot fault it. Quality product and worth every penny!

Tips: As it is one of the more expensive perfumes it may be a good idea to consider a cheaper perfume for everyday use and keep this one for evenings and special occasions but if finances permit - go wild!

Overpowering

I was given this is a gift. It's certainly not something I would buy myself as the fragrance is extremely strong and unfortunately is overpowering on me. If you like to be smelt before being seen, this might be the scent for you!

Tips: Night-time only wear!

Love/ Hate Relationship

I have this scent in the EDP 50mI size and it doesn't get as much use as it should. I do really love the smell of this perfume but as soon as I spray it on I find it very overpowering. The strength of the scent does seem to decrease slightly to a more tolerable level as it warms into your skin, but, for this reason I only wear this perfume sparingly and if I am going out and not going to be in a small space.

The scent is a very deep strong floral scent definitely more suitable for more mature women and for nighttime wear. Due to the strength of the scent it does have a very long lasting time so you definitely get your moneys worth with this one but it is not my favourite from Dior's poison range. A very pricey scent that I probably wouldn't repurchase just due to the limited use I get from it.

The bottle design wasn't a factor for me in choosing this scent but it is lovely, simple and classy just like the scent.

Tips: Use SPARINGLY

Beautiful

Gorgeous scent, I love all of the 'poison' range from CD but this would be my favourite. Lasts a long time and it has a nice floral fragrance and didnt find it overpowering. I found the scent improved after about an hour.

Tips: Nice and strong so you only need a little.

Didn't age with me

I loved this perfume in my younger years, but as I've gotten older either my ol factory senses have changed or the way my own skin reacts with this has..
