Hypnotic Poison Eau Sensuelle

Firstly, why does it have to be discontinued Dior u fools u should have made this in edp as I just want to amp this beautiful fragrance up even more ! I love love love You hYpNoTic eau SeNsUellE !! I'm a sucker for Dior midnight poison and original poison u no the one with plummy notes , b4 the plums were removed and it was nuetered lol ;) but even though I have a mini collection I have never bought hypnotic poison edt , just not got to it yet. However for some odd reason this bottle came up first the flanker , well I'm a lover like most everyone else! I became so obsessed that I literally slept with my bottle at the end of my bed,( made sure would not fall) so it would be the first thing I would go to and smell each day , I know craziness! My man looked at me like I was nuts lol! After a few weeks I added it to my collection and stopped sleeping next to it :) lovely orange blossom with a vibe like icing sugar and marzipan, with a musk that is velvety and the softest sandalwood . This fragrance is weightless so gentle, a caressing of the skin but Francois Demachy has done this magical aroma in a way no one else could, the vanilla is not custard but more frosting or buttery the florals settle so softly I see totally why it's called eau sensuelle ! I can say it's velvety and feminine a little powdery but done perfectly nothing overwhelming yet highly addictive I think I will deffo invest in the first edt and the edp if there similar to this !! I got another way of explaining this fragrance, icing sugared light flowers , my hubby had no idea what I ment by that but I knew what I ment lol :) A fellow fragrantican summed this up by saying this is like soft vanilla baby powder- soft lightly sweet , nice and comforting : I could not agree more ! This version is nothing much like the EDP which is equally wicked in a different way. Eau sensuelle is dusky powdery bliss , the EDP is far darker and sweeter yet sweet done very very classy, not much liquorice in the sensuelle but that's amped up in EDP, sensuelle is more floral instead. There quite different so if you can get both do ! This fragrance is a MASTERPIECE, my favourite of the favourites please God let me see, bid and Win every Bottle on eBay that's affordable, and anyone who reads this is ~^HYPNOTISED^~ from These Words and just cannot help but move away from this review thinking negative things of hypnotic poison eau sensuelle, so u don't want any do you ? That's right you reading this you , yes YOU ,, what's that , you hate all hypnotic poison especially this one, Christian Dior is a complete BUMBOCLAAT, agreeed sister :))))))) that's it you boycott HPES , I will give your bottle a New home dear !! haha PMSL :)) Dior u mushrooms bring this back !

Hypnotic Poison Eau Sensuelle has been my signature for quite some time now, and I am yet to find a perfume that comes even remotely close to this most beautiful, seductive vanilla. Francois Demachy really outdid himself with this fragrance. His interpretation of this oriental floral is modern and versatile, and far more sophisticated and wearable than the original Hypnotic Poison from 1998. Jasmine and almond are missing from this formulation, as well as the infamous 'play-doh' note, which gives the original Hypnotic Poison a slightly plasticky feel. Eau Sensuelle replaces those with a beautiful veil of soft floral notes, whilst still retaining the signature vanilla accord from the original formulation. Eau Sensuelle takes you on a long, unforgettable olfactory journey right from the first second you spray it. The opening is full of floral softness. There are notes of sweet ylang ylang and aromatic orange blossom, followed by powdery orchids and hints of creamy tuberose. The essence of vanilla is captured beautifully; it's warm, sensual, a little dark, and very, very seductive.Wrapped in soft petals of white florals, this vanilla feels a little gourmand, but without smelling processed and artificial. The woodsy base reveals the notes of soft, milky sandalwood, with a few musky undertones, which add more depth to this wonderful composition and nicely balance out its sweeter accords. This is definitely one of the most beautifully crafted fragrances out there – it's very well blended, and it develops really nicely on skin. The different notes compliment each other well, and together they create the most unforgettable, irresistible vanilla scent. The scent is captured in an elegant red bottle, which is very similar to the original one, but it looks more classy and sophisticated. This formulation only comes in an EDT version, but it is still very strong and long lasting. On my skin, it lasts for more than twelve hours, and a few days on clothes. Projection is strong enough to fill the whole room with just a few sprays. It is also the only fragrance from my collection that actually gets me compliments from strangers! So it's definitely not a shy scent, and people (especially men) will notice you when you wear it. An absolute must have for any vanilla lover, especially if you're not a fan on the original Hypnotic Poison – the two are very different. This is my favourite fragrance of all time, and although I have many favourites, this one wins me over every time I smell it! (。♥‿♥。)

I'm a fan of Dior's Poison line,Poison Girl EDP,Hypnotic Poison EDT & EDP were my favorites.when a friend offered me a huge bottle of Hypnotic Eau Sensuelle(about 70 mil left in bottle) in a swap I didn't hesitate to accept the deal,my only regret is that I got to know it too late,now that it's discontinued I can easily see Hypnotic Poison DNA in it but there are enough differences to justify having them both.I like HP edt but this one is ten times better IMHO. Poison Girl EDP is among my top ten favorites but I love HP Sensuelle even more. Compared to HP edt, vanilla,a touch of coconuty tuberose,anise and almond are also present here(though not listed) but it's more airy,less heavily caramelized,less play dough-like,much more floral, a lot more elegant and easier to wear in my book. on my skin it's like Dior HP +Poison Girl EDP +just a touch of Serge Lutens Datura Noir+Kenzo Amour.I love all the mentioned perfumes so no wonder I loooove HP Sensuelle.it's everything I ask and more.it's rich yet gentle,it's delicious,it's sexy yet cozy,it's truely sensual.grownup but not old. a heaven of vanilla orchid and orange flower with a touch of what my nose reads as marzipan powder and vanilla cream. I'm not the biggest fan of ylongylang and I can easily detect it here but it's ylangylang done right. This perfume is smooth,it's comforting,it's sensual.actually it could be my signature if they still produced it(and if I wasn't a perfume-junkie),it projects well without killing everyone in the room My husband dislikes original HP but he can get along with this one I have to save and treasure each drop of it but I can't.It's so addictive that I need smelling it on myself everyday why,oh why Dior keeps doing this??what's the point of discontinuing it's masterpieces?!! ورژن سبک تر شده،گلی تر،ملایم تر،خانومانه تر و بدون ته بوی خمیرطور/پلاستیکی هیپنوتیک پویزن وانیل، ارکیده، انیس، بادوم و شکوفه پرتقال و یلانگ یلانگ رو میشه حس کرد. من زیاد طرفدار یلانگ یلانگ نیستم بااینحال تو این عطر، واقعا این نت دوست داشتنیه برای من شبیه ترکیب هیپنوتیک ادوتویلت و پویزن گرل ادوپرفیومه با یکم سرجی لوتنز داتورا نویر و کنزو امور,بنظر من شاهکاره،آرامش بخش و جذاب،واقعا حیف ک دیگه تولید نمیشه. بنظر من تو کل خانواده پویزن، بهترینشونه

I finally bought this amazing fragrance yesterday! I've had my eye on it for a few years. I actually don't really love the original Hypnotic Poison, it tends to give me a headache. But this one...OH WOW! It's incredibly sensual, soft and intoxicating. I cannot get enough of this! The longevity is beyond amazing. One spray lasts easily about 8-10h and personally for me 2 sprays is more than enough and will last for a looooong time. I got the 50ml bottle and I'm sure it will last me forever. Also, it was the last bottle at the store i got this from, and the lady at the counter told me that they won't be getting new ones...I guess it means this is discontinued or about to be so? I adore the mystical looking bottle that looks like it could hold some magical poison inside of it. I love how the scent develops through out the day, but it still keeps that sensual softness. At all stages of the scent development, I can smell sultry sweet vanilla. On me I can first smell the gorgeous vanilla blended beautifully with orchid and some woody notes and just a touch of the white flowers, the orange blossom in particular, but if I didn't know it was orange blossom I wouldn't have guessed. Those three notes stay with me through out the day, they just blend together in a different way and sometimes they accompany more of the notes. For me this isn't necessarily exclusively an evening perfume. It certainly is suitable for the evenings but I think you can definitely wear this day times too, just wear it carefully. All in all Hypnotic Poison Eau Sensuelle is an intoxicating sweet vanilla dominant scent. I would say it's quite a safe perfume, because it's easy to like and it isn't the most unique scent out there. So if you're looking for a sensual sweet scent that has something unique and unusual, HP Eau sensuelle probably isn't what you're looking for. But what makes HP Eau Sensuelle a special fragrance, is the AMAZING longevity and the fact that it is a very well executed scent with notes that compliment each other and create an amazing alluring smell.

I have never tried the original Hypnotic Poison, I really wanted to, but every inch of my arms was allready covered with other fragrances and this was the one whose notes appealed the most (not a big fan of coconut, but a sucker for anything with orchid), so this is what I tried and I won't be able to compare. Yet :) Hypnotic Poison Eau Sensuelle opens with a quite soapy floral note, orange blossom is allways quite soapy to my nose. A deep, creamy floral bouquet of roses, ylang ylang and especially orchid (Oh, you beautiful, sensual flower) follows. I wish it would stay that way, but then, suddenly in the very heart of this fragrance the strangest salty note appears. It's no pure salt. I can only describe it like the scent of a pebble, scoured completely clean by the ocean during hundreds of years. This pebble is now thrown onto an island and lies there, heated by the sun. That's what I smell, warm, salty stone, surrounded by lush tropical flowers. The stone is really unappealing and a very cold scent, a dicordant note in this warm, sensual fragrance. This also makes it very intriguing. The salty stone note plays hide and seek, sometimes it is strongly there, sometime I can only smell flowers on a hot, exotic, sensual vanilla base. Once we get to the very last of the scent, the salt note disappears and makes way for the most beautiful, sexy base. Heavy, heavenly vanilla, creamy sandelwood, soft, tender musk, little whispers of orchid... Oh dear, I totally get the name. It doesn't project that well, these last hours of pure sensuality. And that's just fine, let him come closer to smell you. Would I buy this? I do not know, the salty note is really strange to my nose, but the rest is near perfection! I think I'll just test it again, and try the original while I'm at it.

This is such a beautiful fragrance!!!! I have first come across the original HP 4 years ago when my Italian assistant manageress was loyal at wearing it. I enjoyed the scent then, but since she was wearing it... I just simply didn't find the point of bringing myself to get the same fragrance as her.I vividly remembered the vanilla from the original HP. Last year, as a gift my friend got me a set of Dior miniatures perfume and I found out that there was the miniature of HP(Which I latter discovered that it was the eau senuelle version) and during last winter I was using it. I was and still am in love with the scent!! everyday I have gotten so many compliments from both men and women... people I thought to be too arrogant to give me such comments gave me them. That gave me that very decision to purchase a full size one! When carefully examining the bottle, that was when I realized that I wasn't using the original HP. I was puzzled for a while due to whether I should purchase the original or I should purchase the eau sensuelle version. I have been on this site many times to look into reviews and at the end I have decided to get the eau senuelle since it was this perfume that gave me all those compliments! And honestly, I don't regret it a single bit! I absolutely love this perfume and up till this day whenever I'm wearing it, I hear all those compliments and asking me what I'm wearing. People compare this too much to the original HP... I have go smell the original one and find myself really loving this one so much better. honestly, this fragrance deserves it's own crowd of followers instead of just being compared to the original. It may not be for everyone but this is what true sophistication smells like

For me hypnotic poison (eau sesnsuelle)is the best of dior. It is way more better than the new hypnotic poison (eau perfume).HP sesuelle is really unique, sexyyyyyy, mysterious, it is a mix of devil and angel.IT makes me feel sexy and confident as if i am embodied with supernatural powers.When i spray it, every body question me about it and compliment me.My ex used to adore it for it's heaviness and sensuality, unlike the new HP which is weaker and less strong and less vanilla,and it doesn't last at all.I prefer the woody and powdery combination it is a great one and it made it smell better.The combination of orchid is amazing with the vanilla and less sweetness in it, which gives her more sexy and mysterious scent that never leaves the nose.The base notes in this Hp just nailed it,the musky and sandal wood are perfect.At first it is heavy but as time passes it becomes more adorable especially the woody combination and the vanilla and orchid.the scent always stays deep even after 12hr and i will stay feeling sexy and love my self.All this greatness isn't found in the new Hp.I didn't like the almond and the soft spicy at all.The new HP fades fast but it is still a good one but i hope HP (eau sensuelle ) stays forever in the market and don't take it away.It is my signature and i would like to keep it this way for long.HP (eau sesnuelle) really is hypnotic and makes you live a fairy tail and who smell it especially guys fall in love with you without knowing you, it attracts.I will always adore it and never exchange it with anything else.Please don't take it out of market.

I ordered this off Amazon Canada after reading all my fellow Fragranticans glowing reviews, and just received it today. I own and love the original Hypnotic Poison, both the EDT and the EDP. The original (ETD) is one of my all time favourite fragrances, consistently withstanding the test of time. Of course, I eagerly ripped open the box as soon as the postman arrived at my door, and that beautiful, weighted bottle glistened up at me. I rip off the cap and stick my nose directly on the nozzle, inhaling deeply, enjoying the sensation of the cool metal on my nose. Yes, this is definitely related to my beloved HP, but they aren’t sisters. 2nd cousins, perhaps, but not sisters, as this beauty is more about the flowers. Getting wafts of it in the air, I do smell the original - that luscious, familiar, play doh-y, rootbeer-y aroma that you either love or hate. However, if I smell my skin at close range, I detect some sort of flowers. It actually sort of reminds me of Kenzo Amour, which I also have, and which also feels heavier on the floral aspect. Fragrantica describes this as a ‘livelier’ version of the original, and I agree with that. It smells brighter, certainly. This is a beautiful take on the original, and I’m glad I’ve added it to my collection, especially seeing as it’s discontinued. However, the original Hypnotic Poison still is, and will always remain, one of my favourite fragrances of all time.

Seriously beeeeaaauuuuuttiiiiffffuuuullllll!!!!!! This hugs you in a cloud of soft, floral, vanilla goodness. Stunning. Go with me if you will to this scene: I can see an outdooor park where there are children on the swing sets and lots of grass. It's a beautiful warm tropical day.....off to the side near the hedges is this unusual plant. It's roots are made of candied almonds, the soil is sandalwood, the stems of the flowers are made from vanilla, and the blooms are orange blossom, ylang, and an unusual orchid that is part tuberose. Every once in awhile someone will walk by and spray this plant with a tiny bit of musk~and the plant just glistens and radiates.. As you head over to see what's up you notice that all kinds of people are sitting around this unusual species with these goofy grins on their faces. You wonder what all the fuss is about so you decide to take a sniff....and WHACK! This narcotic smell starts to swirl around you and the next thing you know....there you sit with a goofy grin on your face breathing deeply....... That's it in a nutshell for me. This is a swirl of beautifully blended softness that lasts for hours and hours. It makes me feel feminine, no matter where I'm going it's appropriate, and it has no sharp edges on me....sillage is perfect~it projects without threatening anyone. This is a tropical feeling comfort scent extraordinaire......I need a full bottle I believe!

I loved this fragrance years ago and worn it in 2011 as a signature fragrance. People could easily recognize me;). By the way, eau sensuelle was a sillage monster on my skin. I loved how the deep flower scent mingled with the vanilla note. Or else: One could have described the vanilla note as "flowery". There were also some woody undertones that I always liked in scents. It was also the first perfume I wore that developed a pronounced orange blossom touch. I thought that was delicious. But most of all, I liked how the fragrance unfolds the floral notes that emerge step by step: first orange blossom, then followed by powdery jasmine and vanilla orchid. After I used up my third bottle, I was a little tired from vanilla scents in general and returned to my usual chypre scents. A few months ago I wanted to buy a new bottle, but I realized that production had ceased. I found that hard to understand because the following fragrance (Hypnotic Poison Eau Secrete) was only half as good, not complex enough for my taste. And I missed the Woody Vibes which Eau Sensuelle had. This christmas I got La vie est belle ECLAT as a present. I was positively surprised when I saw a certain resemblance to the lost Eau Sensuelle. It's not a dupe - not by far - but it has the same flowery vanilla vibe with a woody background. Recommended for all lovers of Eau Sensuelle.

Oh my I can’t stop smelling this gem! It’s so pretty that hurts my heart it has been discontinued. I was lucky enough to get a brand new 50 ml bottle from a collector, cellophane sealed and all for the current HP retailer price. I couldn’t believe it! It arrived today and I needed to do this review pronto. I do love the original HP, despite many haters of the play doh note out there and liquorice???Im confused . Seriously, liquorice is not even listed because that isn’t one lol that’s in EDP, get you facts checked. Well back to this pretty lady, which is taking HP range to another level...sweet but not cloying, powdery but not too dry. The mix of yellow flowers with white flowers is so beautiful...the orange blossom, tuberose, vanilla and orange is perfection. This fragrance has definitely the classic Dior stamp, the vanilla is screaming “I’m a Dior fragrance, prior to their reformulation phase when we used to smell so great!!!” Do I sense a hint of Valentino Valentina Poudre in the dry down or is it just me? Maybe the sandalwood and the vanilla combo gives me an olfactive illusion, because that one has tonka bean. Anyway I found them quite similar but not the same, not a dupe. If you have HPES in your collection you’re so lucky because it’s definitely a keeper. They don’t do fragrances like this one anymore.

Best vanilla orchid scent I've tried. I love this one and I see many other members alike. To me the orchid note is tricky. As a synthetic note more often than not in an orchid-dominant perfume the plasticky orchid smell overshadows any other notes, and I hate that smell so much. I don't know how Dior did it, but in Eau Sensuelle the orchid scent melds so well with the vanilla, it's as if I'm sniffing a floral vanilla variant rather than vanilla and orchid. This is my definition of a well-blended perfume right there. Eau Sensuelle opens with that floral vanilla note and some very fresh rose and orange blossom, the ylang is very sheer, almost undetectable to me. It's not very sweet. About 1 hour in the freshness fades and milkiness of sandalwood and tuberose appears. It turns a little bit heavier, muskier, but never becomes overly sweet or pungent, and still projects nicely (1 foot at least). It doesn't change much from there on, but what a nice vanilla heaven it is! Might not be the cheapest scent out there, but is SO WORTH IT. Since Dior discontinued this gem, anyone who's interested in vanilla or floral scent should at least get a decant or mini soon before it's too late! P.s. Jo Malone's Vanilla & Anise is a fresher, more herbal cousin of this one. The vanilla-orchid harmony is shared by both perfumes.

never in my life did i think that i'd like this, i see "sweet" in the top 2 accords and tuberose + orange blossom in the top notes and i'm usually out. but a dear friend of mine gave me decant of this hard to find gem, and i am surprisingly loving it. if i were to use one word to describe it, it would be "soft". it's so nostalgic, very floral, i would've never guessed it's a flanker of hypnotic poison had i not known. it's not overly sweet at all, it's not natural either but not like the current sickeningly sweet white floral designer cliches of the today's market. it's rather a soft white floral but i think the star of this fragrance is rather the orchid+sandalwood combo. i personally find orchid has a vanillic natural sweetness that makes almost everything so familiar, which makes me wonder that's the reason it's so nostalgically familiar to me, but the sandalwood gives it that "soft" feeling. no, it's not mind blowing but it's really really pleasant and cozy, i think it's perfect for spring or in-between-seasons weather when u don'f know what to wear bc it's neither cold nor warm. whoever has this today, u r lucky!

Speechless... First of all, the bottle is BEAUTIFUL, far nicer than original HP's bottle in my opinion. Screams luxury - stunning transparent red glass, looks almost like the poison apple in Snow White, of course. I didn't like the original HP. Was way too plain and simple for me - all I got was vanilla, I have body sprays that smell the same that cost a tiny fraction of the price. Suffice to say I wasn't expecting much from this but ooohh myyyy... It's true, it's quite similar to HP and I wouldn't say you need both if you have and like the original. However, Eau Sensuelle (love the name too) is, to me, more complex and interesting compared to the original... the floral notes really compliment the warm, creamy vanilla. Also, this lasts literally days. I sprayed this around 3pm yesterday, its now almost 9pm the next day and its still lingering on my skin, and it smells like I just sprayed it on my sweater. Sillage is excellent for at least 3-4 hours. Must have if you like vanilla, but with a little something extra compared to the original.

This is my second favorite HP, and I believe the most wearable. The original is amazing, but since you can't get it anymore (the current formulation is not quite the same), I would say that the current EDP (is it being discontinued already???) is my favorite, but this is a close second! What I like about this is that the "play-doh" note is subdued, so it's a little more light, floral, "summery". I get a similar "feeling" to the original EDT but somehow it's just so wearable. I feel that I have to be in the mood for HP EDT or EDP. This one is sooo sexy and lasts ALL day so that makes me happy. The EDP has a more heavy, thick, almond, vanilla, and licorice scent. The EDT is more "play-doh-y" and also rich, thick, almost pasty. The Eau Sensuelle is like a sensual, rich flower rather than a glob of melting ice cream (like the others), if that makes sense. P.S. Get this while you still can! Dior discontinued it (like they do all the good perfumes :( ) and so you'll be SOL pretty soon. Fragrance net . com has it at a good price!

This is very nice! Very strong, only 1 spray needed for a great sillage (outside armlength) and holds for easily 6 hours. I have smelled the Hypnotic Poison and the 2 flankers eau Secrete and eau Sensuelle. Although I 'liked' the original HP, it was a little boring to me and did nothing really. The two daughters, eau Secrete and eau Sensuelle are like angel/devil twins. Secrete is much more extrovert and easily goes out, flirting, dancing, seducing and you know the woman hides a little devil inside her. The other one, Sensuelle is more the quite, sweet one. Her power is great, but more soft and calming. The combination of creamy almonds, young orange blossom and a velvety orchid gives that calm touch I believe. That's probably the big difference with her sister, who has a lot of juicy citrusses. Eau Sensuelle is an amazing done perfume and it's sad it is discontinued. Great to go out with, but also great for a evening on the couch, movie, wine and cheese with crackers. Elegant yet young, sweet without the sugar.

I got this as an extra in a swap and I wasn't expecting to like it. I've always felt that Poison looked good on paper but was too much to my nose. This is actually really good. I do seem to have a soft spot for tuberose and vanilla. But this grows and evolves without ever being too sweet or too floral and is heady without being cloying. In the first hour or so I could swear there was a spicy note that I'm not seeing listed. Sometimes I got a really great cedar note and I wouldn't be surprised to find some oud in the formulation. The longevity is amazing. I was never overwhelmed or disappointed by the scent. I am very impressed. -=-=-=- Wore this again today and it's better than I remembered. Warm and musky but flowery and sweet and spicy and creamy without ever seeming overdone. Typically scents described as well blended translates to too perfumey because I like being able to pick out the notes. This is well blended done right.

I have worn this perfume for a few days, and I find it quite different from Hypnotic Poison Eau Secrete. This version is heavy with ylang ylang, tuberose and major vanilla with more woody notes than Eau Secrete and the addition of the more indolic and heavy lidded florals. This is a pretty fragrance, but it is just too heavy for me to wear. It feels like a heavy red velvet scent blanket covering my body so that I cannot breathe while wearing it. I find it lovely on its own terms and it is sensual like the name says, but it's not my type of sensuality. I think it is too sweet smelling, vanillic and downright cloying. In my opinion, it needs a bit of animalic or something a little bitter or sharp to balance the indoles and vanilla. This fragrance has amazing longevity if that is what you seek. I could even smell it faintly 3 days and 2 showers after initial application.

The best Hypnotic Poison Flanker? One of the most sought after Hypnotic Poison flankers, judging by fragrantica reviews. Eau Sensuelle is a softer, floral and more accessible version of Hypnotic Poison, without losing the femme fatale sexiness. Added notes of Orchid (which is actually always a fantasy note as orchids have no real odor) and enticing Ylang. No play-dough accord, cumin or liquorice notes like in the OG that some find challenging, the woods are toned down, too. She is still a stellar performer, unlike the Eau Secrète, which is more like an Eau Fraîche for hotter weather. Great sillage and best suited for fall or not super cold winter days. Is it the best of the line? For me the second best, after the original formula Hypnotic Poison EDT which has a stronger floral aspect than nowadays, apart from it having much higher quality in general.

I got to sample this rarity thanks to a generous Fragrantican and man, this is something else. I really enjoy the original Hypnotic Poison but sometimes I have a hard time handling everything being “too much”. Too sweet, too warm, too dry, too straightforward. This one is its younger, fresher, flirtier sister. She still likes to seduce, but likes being seduced also. She is not intimidating at all, yet she is still ultra feminine and voluptuous. Practically, that is achieved mostly through the orange blossom and ylang ylang, which I can smell quite clearly in addition to everything that the original flanker has. Those floral/citrus notes take away some of the “excess” sweetness and give it a bit of a juicy, fresh edge. Overall though, one can still very much say this belongs to the a Hypnotic Poison family. That’s a flanker done right.
