Fragrance Notes
Poison Girl
Sweetness is the whole proposition of Dior Poison Girl Eau de Parfum, which takes the Poison name somewhere lighter and younger with orange, neroli, vanilla and tonka bean.
Orange opens it, simple and juicy, a cheerful citrus with none of the bitterness a sharper one would bring, and neroli lifts it immediately with a clean green floral freshness that gives the first ten minutes some elegance before the base takes charge.
Then it turns sweet and stays sweet. Vanilla is the dominant material, warm and thick with a faintly boozy edge rather than a bakery one, and tonka bean sits alongside it adding a dusty, faintly tobacco like dryness that saves the composition from being simply sugary. The interplay between the two is the reason this works at all, and anyone expecting the ferocity of the original Poison will find something entirely different here. Four materials, no complications, and the fragrance does what it sets out to do. The eau de parfum strength makes it long lasting and quite forward in the first hour, with sweetness that builds in warm air, so a light hand is wise. Two sprays will see out an evening comfortably.
It suits autumn and winter, nights out, younger wearers and anyone who likes a fragrance that announces itself without being serious about it. It is sold to women. It was released in 2016.
Dior has been in perfumery since 1947, when Christian Dior put Miss Dior on sale in the same month as his first collection, a scent Paul Vacher composed for him. The fragrance and cosmetics side is an LVMH business now, and the Poison family that arrived decades later is among its most recognisable lines.
