Poison Girl

Hmm, Poison Girl. Dividing opinions, just like mama Poison back in 85. Miss Poison however refuses to fill the shoes left by her legacy. Instead she uses her volume, deep in her DNA, to speak loudly like her rebel and modern friends. She mostly hangs out with La Petite Robe Noire, because she feels they share a lot in common; they both hail from families with a long history. They both share family members that were big and bad back in the day. They have that DNA in their blood, but they are children of their times, and as such they have different tastes. Poison Girl inherited from her mother the controversy, as such she is bound to divide opinions. She has character and as such she ain't gonna please everybody. She cares not. But growing up she was closer to aunt Hypnotic. She loved to hang out with her, listening to her stories about her lovers, her travels to faraway lands. She enjoyed spending time in that secret room where aunt Hypnotic prepared her secret drug; Cyanide. You see, she was a spy for the Secret Intelligence and her task was to create the most lethal version of the famous almond scented poison. And she succeeded as no one saw that the cloud of almond vanilla that wafted from her apartment was her lethal weapon towards her enemies. As a close family, even though mama Poison spent her youth traveling the globe, these 3 women complement each other. For her 31st birthday, Poison Girl inherits her legacy, and as such you can admire it in her eyes; she has the loud voice of mama, with bitter orange and a slice of funky immortelle instead of plum, and the seducing power of her aunt, with an almond/tonka core, ready to take on where her mentors left. If Poison permeated the 80's with its narcotic winey tuberose wrapped in incense, and Hypnotic Poison seduced the 90's with wafts of almond patisserie and vanilla smoke, this new kid takes the best of both and shouts it from the rooftops. She's got style, her style, but she ain't got the manners. Yet. But then again, if you belong to the Poison family, manners aren't exactly your most known feature. You're known for speaking loud and clear, and letting everyone know how it's gonna be. Take it or leave it. And Poison Girl says it loud and clear; she's got the best of both, and her own unique touch. And this is how it's gonna be; bitter orange, cherry, almond, immortelle, vanilla, tonka, rose, almond, bitter orange, almond, vanilla. Poison volume, Hypnotic Poison deliciousness, 21st century voice. Strong sillage/10-12 hour longevity. Update May 30th: The more I wear Poison Girl, which is a lot, the more I see the hidden appeal. It is not a sweet fruitchouli like so many. There's a restrained beauty, maybe the bitterness? It is far more than the sum of its parts, there's something unique and dare I say delicious? The more I wear it the more I feel it is indeed a Poison member. Completely different and at the same time familiar. I bought a backup today, 100 ml before the reformulation that is about to come soon, and I'm already thinking of getting a 3rd bottle. Very unisex, and again, nothing at all like Black Opium. A kind of less sweet LPRN. Really, do give a try even if gourmands don't appeal to you. It's not even really a gourmand after all.

Have you ever met someone and immediately disliked them for some silly reason? Then years later, looked back and thought, 'I really should have been nicer and given him/her a chance?" For me, that's Poison Girl. Thankfully, she's forgiving. When this first came out I rolled my eyes so hard I nearly gave myself an aneurysm. "Poison Girl?" Really, GIRL?? I thought it was a ridiculous name paired with an appallingly stupid ad campaign. It was like watching the former cool chick turned soccer mom desperately try to be edgy and failing in the most embarrassing way. It was ultimate cringe, and I couldn't believe Dior let those ads free in the wild. For that, I never gave this perfume a chance. But fast forward 100 years, I'm revisiting fragrances I never considered seriously in the past. Poison Girl is on the list, and I am enjoying it a great deal. Poison Girl is sweet, and I mean SWEET. For gourmand fanatics used to snorting this sort of liquid sugar on the daily, this fragrance may not be anything otherworldly. But for someone who rarely strays from the classics and for whom J'Adore Intense is considered daring, the experience is a glorious shock to the system. It opens with an almost biting bitter orange. It's tart and not shy about it. That sharp citrus yields to a syrupy heart of roses. But a demure rose from mother's garden this isn't. It's a dense and candied floral that knows exactly what it's doing. Dare I say playful? God, just saying that gives me heartburn, but bear with me. The dry down melts into a decadent base of dark vanilla, toasted almond, and tonka bean. A bit of sandalwood and balsam hang out in the background. It's heavy, rich, and clings to the skin beautifully. It has the presence of a proper powerhouse and isn't quiet about it. Poison Girl is as delicate and refined as nude cartwheels in the town square, but the "in your face" attitude is charming and magnetic. It projects far better than most new fragrances and leaves a heavy, sweet trail that turns heads. I may have judged her too quickly based on her name, but Poison Girl has earned her place on my vanity. She's sweet, yes, but she still BITES.

Lots of dislikes and not a lot of reviews which just means to me that people haven't really given it a chance. Dior is a mainstream fashion/fragrance house and they put out fashionable scents that will (a) appeal to a lot of people and (b) therefore make them a lot of money. If you want to smell "niche" then buy niche, simple as that. That being said, I don't think everybody will *love* this. I personally do for that creamy, slightly salty vanilla dry-down but the bittersweet orange top notes might be hit and miss with some. I see a lot of people comparing this to HP. Whilst this isn't a flanker of HP, the dry-down really does remind of HP (the newer version) and it has this salty feel to it, whilst HP gets quite spicy on me. I've been frantically searching for something similar to HP to wear in the Summer and although this is quite heavy on the vanilla, it's the closest I can get so I'll take it. I also see alot of people comparing this to black opium - perhaps confusing the coffee and tonka. On me, the vanilla in black opium smells like burnt plastic and Poison Girl is much creamier and likeable - I can tell the difference between the two for sure. I don't find it cloying at all on me personally, but it's all about body chemistry with this one. It is very sweet and I can deal with that, if you can't then I would steer clear. If you're a gourmand lover, I think you'll like this though. It's a high quality scent from Dior, has good longevity and sillage - not too much but not too little either. On another note, I've seen a lot of people say this smells "generic" and "like a cheap celebrity fragrance" and that they've "smelled it before". If that's the case then be my guest and mention which scent it reminds you of because if I can save a few £ then that would be awesome. I don't like the marketing campaign either but then I don't really like any perfume marketing campaign.

This one took me quite a while to come around on. I was unfairly expecting it to be better than or, just as good as some of the other modern Diors. Now, I look on it, sort of, as part of the Poison family. This is the millennial. As I see it, this is how it goes for the Poisons - Poison Original: The original goddess, the one who gave birth to the others. She blesses human kind with her intoxicating kiss and breath, keeping you alive by giving herself to you. Without her, you would surely perish. Hypnotic Poison: The vamp goddess, you'd probably meet her in a fancy cocktail bar. She'd bring chocolates, offer you one and you'd wake up next to her. You're both exhausted from your 'rendez-vous', she leaves and you feel her all over you. You need her, but she didn't leave her number. You trawl all of the bars for her, occasionally meeting her but those experiences are few and far between. Tendre Poison: The Jungle goddess, you'll find her in a greenhouse with her plants. Like Poison Ivy, and the original Poison, she can intoxicate you with her breath and kiss. She'll latch on, and you won't complain. This one wants you to be her willing slave, and you'll have no choice but to give yourself over to her. Pure Poison: The charming and deceptive goddess, you'll meet her at a wedding or in the street on a cool evening. She'll be sweet, lovely and coy. The poison comes through your inability to detect the poison in her. You'll be unable to sleep and unable to think of anyone but her. She has you in her clean, beautiful hands. Midnight Poison: The Goddess who you met at a ball, you drank her magic potion and now reside in her candy house Poison Girl: She's the goddess at the club. She probably has MDMA or something.

This is the 2nd perfume I bought after I started my perfume collection. I currently have 15 fragrances in my collection and this still is my favourite one so far. This perfume has gotten me the most compliments, people can smell me from feets away, I've had random people passingby ask me "Someone smells really good, is that you?" Friends tell me that I smell like ice-cream/cake/some delicious dessert. This quickly became my winter signature scent. Besides being a huge compliment getter, I personally love how long it lasts. For example, I wore this yesterday noon, it has been 20+ hours and I can still smell it on the jacket I wore yesterday (I didn't even spray it on the jacket itself) Perfumery isn't very common where I live (we don't even have sephora/ulta/macys), which is why I watch and read a lot of reviews because I mostly have to make blind purchases since I can't get my hands on samples and testers easily here. Anyway, my reason for mentioning this is that I was surprised by the underwhelming feedback on this perfume. I bought this without looking up many reviews (I, along with a friend, had just walked into a shop and they surprisingly had testers, I smelled it and immediately fell in love) It is literally one of the most beautiful perfumes I own, the scent bubble it create is legit soothing to my nose, smelling this makes me happy. This is hands down the best fragrance you can purchase as a beginner, or if you just want one sweet gourmand scent in your life. 10/10.

This perfume starts off lovely, a gorgeous fruity yet soft, feminine and fun. It opens with sweet citrus and fresh rosy notes. After an hour it begins to smell a little more complex- still sweet and juicy but a little warmer. Once it has properly dried down it changes again and smells like a soft sweet woody vanilla- nothing overpowering or sickening but very yummy. It doesn't last as long as I would want but maybe I just become scent blind after a while. I've only had this perfume for a few days and I already got complimented on it by a guy at my work. My boyfriend also adores it, he has very strong opinions around perfume but he is obsessed with it and says it smells like a "juicy rose" It is a very feminine and youthful perfume but I do think anyone could wear it with the right attitude. In my opinion it is a very complex scent and is definitely over hated. I've warn in on a hot day and on a cold day and I will say it is much more delicious on a cold crisp day but I do think it could be warn as a summer fragrance because of the fruity notes- just sprayed very lightly. I also think its both a day and night perfume, its definitely more of a daytime more perfume than Dior hp but it is a little sexy date night smelling, however like I said earlier I think this perfume could work for any time with the right attitude.

I really don't know why I waited so long to get this. It's been 2-3 years since I kept wondering whether or not to purchase this. If you're asking yourself the same thing, let me spare you the wait and tell you to absolutely, a 100%, go get yourself a bottle! This is a really cozy and delectable scent. It is intoxicating in the best way possible: it's not cloying or overwhelming, but it is so rich, deep and with great projection, that it's almost impossible not to smell yourself throughout the day. I personally get a sweet, powdery yet smooth almond & praline/caramel scent. It is simply divine! This fragrance is indeed youthful, but don't think Pink Sugar or AG Sweet Like Candy. It's more complex and darker, being sexy and mysterious. With this on, you're edible in every way. I believe this perfume to be more suitable for colder weather, as I can see it being cloying in those extremely hot summer days. Otherwise, I think it's very versatile and even wore it at the office and people have complimented the scent. Projection: 8.5/10 - While not being beast mode, this does have great projection Longevity: 10/10 - Lasts at least a whole day Sillage: (still testing) Scent: 12/10 - Got the 100ml just so that I can bathe in it c:

A youthful take on Dior's Hypnotic Poison. Playful, yet elegant. After spraying it the first note you might notice is bitter orange. In a few minutes vanilla will start accompanying the citrus notes. After giving it a few hours, it turns into almost pure sweet, feminine vanilla. As for the "Play-dough" note - it is more noticeable than in Hypnotic Poison, but it doesnt bother me very much personally. The price is quite reasonable considering this is a designer fragrance. It performs way better than Hypnotic Poison, lasting much longer and being more intense than it. I think that even though a lot of people say only teenage girls can wear this, a lot of women over 20 can wear this because of it's elegant vanilla base note. Overall, I think it is a very sweet and a little less mature fragrance comparing to Hypnotic Poison, but I could definitely see someone 20+ wearing it, contrary to what other reviews say. It smells a bit like candied oranges, then vanilla and tonka beans. The price is quite alright. It performs well and lasts quite long. I think this fragrance is worth getting.

Poison Girl edp is happy, fun, dreamy, divinely sweet, I think it is the most beautiful perfume that Dior has made in many years. This vanilla accompanied by almonds and tonka becomes very addictive, more addictive than its older brother Addict, because I have noticed that when I use it, for several days I just want to smell Poison on my skin. I like the sensation of oranges at the top, which give that bright life to the perfume, not everything is a candy store in this bottle because the rose and tolu balm, although they do not give seriousness, give it that elegant wisp that rounds out the spectacular perfume. This combination is so good that all ages are delighted with this perfume. When I use it I feel like the eternal child that is always inside me. I recommend that you buy the first batches if you can, they are bottles where the formula is stronger, although if you settle for a Poison Girl that is a little softer than the first batches you will also enjoy it

Poision Girl by Dior is one of the most beautiful perfumes for wintertime. Despite the rather juvenile name, the fragrance itself is the epitome of sophistication, class, and femininity. It smells like marzipan, orange blossoms, and vanilla. A beautiful winter scent that reminds me of cashmere and fresh snow, of ballerinas twirling like snowflakes, of the nutcracker suite by Tchaikovsky, of bakeries with almond croissants, with long lines and warm lighting, of glittery wrapping papers, and twinkling lights, of New York City covered in snow. Elegant, expensive smelling, and absolutely lovely. I imagine a beautiful woman, impeccably dressed in a winter coat and boots, with sparkling earrings and red lips, and glossy shopping bags on her arm, rushing through the streets as her scarf twirls in the wind, carrying the scent of frosted almond and orange, of vanilla and rose, of all the beauty and magic of the season.

I sprayed one spray on my wrist yesterday afternoon, and it's still very clear like 15 hours later ... wow. I don't even have to put my nose too close to smell it, it still projects a little. I sprayed hypnotic poison edt, which I prefer scent wise, on other wrist and nothing, zero smell. that's really impressive. the fragrance itself, I can't decide somehow ... it's super sweet but but there's also something a little sour and tart, but it doesn't lighten the smell, it thickens it even more and maybe that's what putting me off a little bit. There are days when i don't mind, but sometimes it's too sweet and syrupy sticky. But I can see myself loving in right mood and weather. I did wear it daily for some time about a year and half ago and I did enjoy it a lot ... Definitely don't overspray, you'll make people sick

This is my 2nd favorite from Dior with Addict EDP as no 1. I am 40+ and I love this! Many people have described this perfume very well...youthful, creamy, sweet vanilla gourmand, best on winter. When I am craving this perfume on summer, to make it not too cloying, I would use 1 or 2 small sprays. It is soo delicious and comforting. I'm sensitive to migraines but Poison girl never trigger my migraines, because even though it is sweet and strong but it is also very smooth. I have a few bottles of this (I always have backups because Dior is famous on discontinuing my favorite perfumes), including 2016 and after 2020 bottle. I thought the 2016 was stronger and deeper, but after I let the after 2020 bottle sit in my dark closet for years, now they both smell the same. Dior perfumes age like a wine.

This is one of the best in Dior Poison range to me, It isn’t all and all sharp florals like the Original poison. It is still strong but has a warm and fluffy aspect in addition to the florals which makes it more wearable. It has a fruity floral opening and the drydown is more creamy floral .It is sweet but not a thick and sticky sweetness more like cramy cake frosting sweetness. It is very modern but little bit mature leaning fragrance to my nose and will be great for you if you are in your late 20s or early 30s. Performance is nuclear in my opinion which is very consistent with the whole Poison line. You will definitely like it if you are into floral gourmands. Sometimes florals mixed with gourmands can be headache inducing for some people, so will suggest everyone to sample it before buying.

This one has attitude, but definitely not in the loud, obnoxious way. It’s more like a ”you cannot get hold of me”-attitude. When I put my nose close to my skin, she doesn’t really agree with me. But when I get a whiff of the cloud she’s surrounding me with, I’m in love! Beautiful, smooth, almost buttery vanilla with a slight, bitter tanginess from the citruses. Divine! I wish I could dig my nose into my arm but, again, that’s not her thing. There is also something nostalgic about it. Not in the sense that I have owned or smelled it before, but rather reminiscent of something I have experienced. For a brief moment, it unlocked a memory of my Bratz dolls from the early 2000s, which made me smile. Will definitely cherish this one and buy a bigger bottle when mine runs out!

Ok so I got this a couple months ago and I had spent about 2-3 years (or more) trying to decide if I wanted it or not due to figuring it would smell generic or like something I’ve smelled several times before and well yes, it’s something I smelled several times before. It isn’t unique and tbh I was expecting a little more of something I can’t quite point out in this one... Maybe a little more rose or some smoke idk but a las it isn’t bad - it’s a “pretty” scent but it is something I’d wear more at home or maybe play with dosage and wear it out OCCASIONALLY I guess. This is something that would appeal more to younger girls in their late teens and 20’s. But if you can pull it off and you like pretty rosey sweet scents, this is for you.

Top compliment getter for me. Beautiful fragrance - signature scent worthy, for my taste, because it's everything a woman needs in a perfume. 🌸 1. It's sweet, in a mature, deep and seductive way (don't let the name fool you). 2. People will smell you... no longevity or silage problems here 🔥 3. Good for layering with "sexy" perfumes to add a more sweet and feminine touch. I don't understand the reviews claiming it's soft? I'm an over sprayer and have absolutely no issues with performance, it's worth every penny. I feel well put together and beautiful with this on. EDIT: My new bottle has arrived, compared it to my old one and the juice is much lighter colour, this is one of those perfumes that gets better once matured.

I have had and tried a LOT of perfume and this is my #1 all time favorite. It is GORGEOUS. Deep, gourmand but also floral, very sweet but VERY seductive, dark, sexy, WOMAN in her mid 20s era. Honestly, Jeremy Fragrance convinced me to blind buy this years ago and he was RIGHT lol. I have 3 backups (see below). ***NOTE*** Dior has been quietly REFORMULATING beauty products to "clean" formulas, then restocking. I can't say for sure but I suspect they are doing with their frags too? This was rumored discontinued, disappeared even from Dior's site but now they carry it again? Gray market might be more likely to have the OG. Beware if the reviews start to shift significantly, I suppose.

The notes are native to my country syria, particularly Damascus, the oldest continuously inhabited city in the world. Smelling it is like eating a levantine piece of sweet delicacy .. Damascus and more generally the levant is literally in the middle of the map, bridging east and west and this scent does exactly that with the grounded almond nuttyness and the ethereal bitter sourness of the bitter orange bridged and brought together and emphasized by the delicate sweetness of the rose .. I love this one. If I was to create a scent that remind me of Damascus I would use these notes but also other notes like arak. (An alcoholic beverage from fermented anise seed and white grapes)

Love love love love. Somewhat personal to me, as my mom wore the OG poison edt growing up. However, she kept it in her makeup bag, so that poison DNA would mix with the scent of her creamy MAC vanilla lipsticks, settting powder, and eye-pencil shavings. That combination always smelled so good, so much so that I’d go and open it up just to sniff it, and poison girl smells extremely similar to that very formative olfactory memory . Needless to say, this smells very cosmetic to me, which I absolutely love... a very femme perfume, my current signature scent until it heats up too much and the intensity of this becomes a little too much.

this is a very young and sweet fragrance, a lighter gourmand, not necessarily fresh but not as thick and abundant as hypnotic. smells like candied orange mousse and whipped cream, the dry-down is warm vanilla and crushed almonds. i have always been so in love with the poison line, and i should admit that poison girl is the least mature, most people pleasing of the family. its a beautiful scent, not as complex or dark as her sisters, but just as good. a blind buy if i've ever known one, and probably my most complimented fragrance. its flirtatious, vivacious, fun and ever-so-slightly edgy. simply love it.
