Identity and Release History

In 1985, the world of perfumery was shaken by the bold release from legendary Dior – the fragrance Poison.

This perfume, released in 1985, quickly became a symbol of the era, challenging traditions and embodying daring femininity.

As part of the Poison collection, it reflects the philosophy of the House, where luxury meets provocation, creating a unique image of Parisian elegance.

The history of Christian Dior, founded in 1947, has always been associated with innovations, and Poison is a vivid confirmation of that, continuing the brand's legacy in the world of fragrances.

Authors and Influence

Behind the creation of this masterpiece is the talented perfumer Edouard Flechier, whose skill brought to life a complex composition that forever changed the perception of women's fragrances.

His work on Poison demonstrates a deep understanding of spicy and floral chords, making the fragrance a benchmark for subsequent generations.

Poison not only strengthened Dior's position as an innovative brand but also influenced the entire industry, inspiring many perfumers to experiment with rich notes and bold combinations.

Positioning and Wearability

Poison is positioned as a women's fragrance, ideally suited for self-confident girls who value individuality.

In the form of eau de toilette, it has a moderate trail, making it versatile for various occasions – from romantic dates to evening outings.

It belongs to the floral family of fragrances, but is enriched with notes from groups such as spicy, woody, and others, creating a multifaceted character.

For optimal effect, it is recommended to enter the cloud when applying to the skin and from 1 to 2 sprays on clothing to maintain a balance between longevity and sophistication.

If you liked Poison, pay attention to similar fragrances: Amouage Memoir Woman, Cacharel Lou Lou, and Jeanne Arthes Cobra, which also explore bold chords.

Perfume information

Description of the composition

The pyramid of notes in Dior Poison begins with a sparkling start, where anise, coriander, forest berries, plum and rosewood create an intriguing introduction.

In the heart of the composition, a profusion of flowers and spices unfolds: cinnamon, clove, frankincense, honey, jasmine, opopanax, orange blossom, rose and tuberose intertwine into a rich symphony.

The base concludes the fragrance with warm and sensual notes: ambergris, heliotrope, sandalwood, vanilla, vetiver, Virginia cedar and musk provide a long-lasting aftertaste.

This complex structure allows the fragrance to unfold gradually, from the spicy beginning to the floral heart and woody base, creating an unforgettable experience for the wearer.

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.
