Persistence
The persistence of a fragrance is determined by how long it can be felt. It is a characteristic associated with ingredients that evaporate slowly. Persistence depends on the physical properties of the perfume ingredients—mainly their volatility and environmental factors such as temperature and humidity.

Sillage
Imagine a light cloud of fragrance that, like an aeroplane trail, remains in the air after your appearance. This is the sillage - a subtle or vivid imprint left by the most diffuse element of a perfume composition. The sillage can be almost invisible when it is felt only by you and those around you. Or it can be so expressive that its presence is noticed even long after you have left.

Complexity and depth

The scent is perplexing. The pyramid seems to not match expectations at all. Flowers, tuberose - yes, but the honeyed-spring undertone somehow doesn't go with frankincense and ginger. I smell a floral bouquet, but these unexpected notes are confusing. A mistake in the combination, in my opinion, is obvious
5/5
5
The scent, first and foremost, reminds me of greenery and herbs, as if you're walking through an overgrown garden. Tuberose here is bright, but it seems to drown in a honeyed cloud. You wouldn't call this scent sweet; rather, it leaves a bitter aftertaste. Although Tendre Poison is considered a lighter version of the classic Poison, you wouldn't call it fresh
5/5

The fragrance is simply captivating, just like the bottle itself. Images of forest fairies and nymphs dancing among the trees come to mind. Tuberose here is really bright, but at the same time, there's a freshness of greenery, which adds to its mystery 🌿
5/5

This perfume is simply awful and unbearable. At some point, it seemed to me that it was made based on something that was long outdated. The atmosphere of the fragrance only causes irritation, and the associations are pure discomfort. Yes, fragrances are different, but that doesn't save the situation. I don't recommend it ))
5/5

The scent reminds me of a green swamp, home to forest nymphs and other feminine fauna. It combines ginger and caraway, along with frankincense, creating an interesting aroma with a delicate hint of greenish tuberose. Everything else is pure fiction, except for new flankers that might truly surprise you

This Poison is the only one I really like. I have a vintage version, and it still brings joy. The fragrance reminds me of early spring, with a light honey note, and tuberose is clearly felt 🌸

A fragrance my mom adores. It has white flowers, aldehydes, and a note of expensive soap. It's definitely softer than others in this line, but it still has its own character

Incredible and unique, Dior's Tendre Poison embodies the phrase "Kill me softly" for me. Yarina, have you checked the expiration date? Maybe it really went bad? I've also been buying this fragrance in recent years, I had the old version. Yes, there are differences, but I've never heard of it being chemical. Tuberose, by the way, has become less prominent, and I noticed that. But the fragrance hasn't lost its appeal, it's become sweeter and calmer, less passionate. The accords are still recognizable, I use it and it's simply DELIGHTFUL!

I used to have the old Poison, and now I have the new one. The bottles are different: the old one is oval, the new one is round. And they really are different! The new version, in my opinion, has become flatter and more monotonous. A sharp chemical note appeared in the fragrance, which spoils the overall impression. I didn't find the tuberose, like in the old bottle, and the honeyed sweetness also disappeared. The smell isn't bad, but if you compare it to the old one, alas, it doesn't measure up
5/5
5
Tuberose here sounds very gentle and delicate, and the green notes give the perfume an interesting nuance. This fragrance feels fresh and positive, making it an excellent choice for those new to tuberose. In my opinion, it's one of the most wearable options from the entire Poison line. As for my preferences, it definitely takes first place among my favorites
2/5

I think this is just a simplified version of the classic Poison. It's definitely less vibrant and doesn't last as long, which makes it seem quite ordinary and even boring. It's a real shame it turned out this way
5/5

Autumn is the time when I especially love wearing this fragrance. On cool days, it unfolds magnificently on me, its honeyed floral notes sounding particularly bright. Tea rose with a light vanilla accent creates a soft and long sillage that attracts not only my attention but also that of those around me. I often hear people say the fragrance is very pleasant.

As for longevity, it's truly impressive. I usually spray it only once, otherwise, the effect can be too strong. In the vintage 1995 version, the rose sounds softer, and the vanilla differs from the modern one - it's creamier and denser, with a slight hint of dandelion jam. The fragrance turns out sweetish-green with a subtle powdery note.

The modern version is also good, with a unique scent of mandarin peels, which makes it very appealing. The difference between these variants is noticeable, but I wouldn't say it's critical
4/5

I like both the old and new versions, even though they're a little different. But the perfume's idea, even in the latest version, is really well executed. In my opinion, this fragrance reveals itself best in cool and humid weather. Just rain or snow - that's when it's like magic! It's one of the few fragrances where I can comfortably appreciate the tuberose note

Ugh, what a nasty smell! This orange blossom smells like soap again, as if I've been sitting in a bathtub! I was expecting something floral and sweet, but instead, it's just soap with some bitterness on me. And it's not just on the skin, but in the sillage too! Just awful!!!
