Guipure & Silk

I'm just totally in love with this. For me personally its not really a gourmand smell. Guipure & Silk is a bittersweet, kinda medicinal, bit synthetic and a definitely more poisonous scent than HP itself (at least the newer formulations). Its deep and immersive, you have to try it a couple of times to describe it accurately. Baby powder, sunescreen, almonds, amaretto, heliotrope, betadine, and liquid peroxyde comes to mind. Kinda caustic if oversprayed, it has an ability to irritate your throat and nose. The drydown is more powdery and medicinal. Overall a weird, warm night time fragrance, and even tho its cosy, its also a bit arrogant and distant - my type of perfume.

I am in love with it and enjoy it when it is cold out and I want to feel cozy and sexy or basically any time I want to go out at night and feel that vibe. I cannot pick on the notes entirely but this is sweet and delicate but also potent as the time goes by. It has the vibe of Hypnotic Poison which is great because I do not feel the need to get that anymore. If you want an all around perfume close to HP yes get this. Grab the full bottle because you won't be sorry. I want a backup bottle because mine is half full. This is a gourmand lover's treasure. It makes me think of honey, vanilla, and interesting spices all blended together. Love it.

This smells absolutely identical to HP. I’m quite surprised, and impressed. Of course HP lasts quite a few hours longer, but the fragrances themselves are barely different. The projection of the perfume is relatively weak. I find it’s more of a skin scent- but on occasion, It’ll reach someone from arms length. Longevity is about 3-4 hours which is mildly depressing, but nothing complaint worthy for the price tag. Safe blind buy for an excellent HP dupe. You don’t need both; unless you want to layer them to create a stronger scent.

I went to the store just to spray this cause they said its a dupe for HP. I was so impressed by this cheapy. I feel its softer on the nose than HP. I was wearing HP once and people said it smelled like insence. ;-( So I think I will give this one a go for sure. Also.... I absolute love the fact that it smells vintage without the harsh vintage smells.

Im really pleased that i decided to try this ott looking perfume. I could never afford hypnotic poison so this will have to do. It really does smell divine. I cant stop sniffing my wrist. Lol. The coconut, vanilla and almonds are a combo made in heaven. The sillage is moderate and the longevity about 6 hours.

Hypnotic Poison on steroids. I absolutely love it. It's everything I wish HP was. I purchased this for £7 which is an absolute sin for such a gothic masterpiece. If you like cherries & almonds get this. Performs so much better than Hypnotic Poison. It's a yes from me!

Do you like Hypnotic Poison on others/paper, but it clashes with your chemistry? Try this one! I mean, HP was horrible on my skin, and this has a similar vibe and smells like heaven on me. Same happened to a friend.

Love It. This is the best Dior hypnotic Poison dupe in my opinion, and it has an incredible price point. On me it lasts long and protects well.

Hi ladies, I would like to have this. Is anybody interested in swapping with me? Greetings Elizabeth

Great Hypnotic poison dupe, less syrupy sweet and more dry powdery. Love love love it!

It is indeed EXACTLY like Hypnotic poison. I love this one!

I quite like this one: delicious almond-coconut-vanilla combo. Guipure&Silk is definitely a gourmand, sweet scent for wintry weather. It does remind me of Hypnotic Poison very much. I haven’t tested them on paper or compared wrist-to-wrist, but both wear very similarly on me. In fact, I bought Guipure&Silk first. When I first tried it, I was disappointed. It felt overly sweet and kind of cheap, and even reminiscent of that yellow vanilla-flavored “little tree” car freshener. Yet after several times, it became less flat and more complex. Either I grew to like it or some alchemy happened within the bottle over time – as it always seems to happen with Jeanne Arthes perfumes I own. Then I bought Hypnotic Poison (Eau de Toilette) and it felt very familiar, to my surprise. Of course, HP being more classy, with more development, a bit more powdery and dry, but still very-very similar. If you like one you will probably like the other too. I’d say Guipure&Silk is a great cheapie replacement for Hypnotic Poison Eau de Toilette (never smelled HP Eau de Parfum, so can’t speak of this one – heard they are different enough). Of course, these things come with an asterisk – our noses are all unique and individual perception might differ drastically, but you might want to give it a try. Also, if you tried G&S and it felt wrong or cheap, don't be too quick to give it away. It might improve after some time sitting at the back of your closet.

To label Guipure & Silk as budget-Hypnotic-Poison is a little cruel.....but one sniff & you will be making comparisons, too. I received this as a swap with the lovely nanano & I am thoroghly enjoying its creamy, nutty fluffiness & floral twists. Yes, HP is there....but G&S is not so in-your-face & a little more gentle. This also means it lacks the development, strength, sillage & lasting power of the Dior but on clothes its delicate perfume lingers. So, to those who call G&S HP's ugly sister take a look at the packaging....pretty, in a kitsch way....then try it without trying to find the HP. You will probably find the dense, sweet almond fog is a little less invasive....this gives the florals a little more space to breathe. Eau de Hypnotic Poison, or HPlight might be more appropriate. In any case, if you like HP & are on a budget you will probably enjoy this little frag. I do. Another "nice" scent.

After reading reviews, that this is very close to Hypnotic Poison, I just had to order a bottle on Amazon. Since I fell in love with Hypnotic Poison after using a decant of the edp Hypnotic version I was on the verge of buying the original, but I will wait. So, is this close to the original? My answer is YES, it is a 95% resemblence to the "real deal" and that is very close. The sillage is just like the original, close to the body and I would even like to say it has an tactile feel to it. It is a fragrance that becomes part of you - like if it is your own personal body scent - and that is what got me loving HP in the first place and even this dupe. Gps has a tiny bit more sweetness to it, than HP and the beautiful licorice is the note that shines the most. Absolutely a bargain and a great dupe for Diors HP.

On me this is straight Hypnotic Poison with less sickly vanilla and less potent almond personally I find it alot more wearable as Hypnotic Poison can become overwhelmingly cloying and sweet and at times becomes nauseating almond marzipan on me - I find this a bit more smokey and alot more wearable. I do get a rootbeer/sarsparilla float with vanilla icecream type note which is delicious and some incense, luckily I don't get the bandaid or mushroom notes described below. If you have always wanted to wear HP but find it sickening on yourself Give this a whirl it's a great perfume and is uber cheap I picked this up for the equivellent of $10 US for the 100ml. The bottle is cute in a gothicy way and doesn't look overly cheap in my opinion either.

I bought this at the beginning of my very new fragrance journey ( I'm Autistic & it's my latest hyper fixation!) I just liked the bottle the price & that the list of notes sounded nice! I've learnt that I like Beast fragrances, and this was far too soft for me. What I've realised is it's fabulous to layer with! It's a great topper upper of base notes of other fragrances aren't strong. It's like a warm & fuzzy comforting fragrance, easy on the nose. I've got an Arabian French Coffee perfume oil on with it & a vanilla & cappuccino body spray & I could eat myself! It's such a gorgeous combination to wear to bed! Try it - play round with it. I'll definately buy it again despite it's 'softness'

An impulsive blind buy, but definitely a good one! A borderline gourmand scent as I mostly smell vanilla and almonds with hints of coconut and a smidge of licorice. Maybe some cloves. Something floral too, but it's not the first thing that comes to mind. The smell instantly reminds me of autumn afternoons, going home from school and drinking hot cocoa as soon as you walk in (it doesn't smell like cocoa, it just has that comforting, warm scent). It also surprisingly reminds me of Organza (probably because it's very sweet). It's like Organza's little sister - doesn't have as much of a big presence. Overall I really like it! P.S. The bottle is gorgeous too!

This is great. I love darker perfumes, and to me this is a sweet, very kind, beginner dark perfume. It's a spicy vanilla, and i can't believe cinnamon isn't one of the notes. To me this smells like sitting by a bonfire enjoying chai a snowy night. It smells warm. When it comes to budget perfumes, this is one of the best to me. I've had it for years and it made me start looking for all the guipures (i have 4/7). This is probably the easiest one to find and so far my favorite. If you're intrigued by the notes (+ cinnamon), i definitely recommend it. It's so cheap and worth it for sure.

Just like Hypnotic Poison, same ! no more no less ... i see despite MANY people voted "yes" on "makes me think of Hynotic Poison" they strangely all have been deleted , maybe some snob don't like that some "supermarket scent" can be compared to their beloved "insert expensive perfume name" :-P Nethertheless , wether you like it or not , yes they're the same , please refer to my HP review to know what i think of this Guipure & Silk ... ;-)

So cool! Very tasty and tender scent! Sweet, oriental, expensive. It projects amazingly on the skin. Longevity and sillage is good enough, I can smell the fragrance all day long on my clothes. This bottle is gorgeous, it reminds me of something medieval. The fragrance and the bottle definitely have a character! I'm pleased with this purchase. It's very worthy frangrance, and the price is ridiculous for such a masterpiece!
