Christian Dior: Midnight Poison, Eau de Parfum

Launch date: 2007 Group: Oriental Floral ~ Introduction ~ Midnight Poison is the fifth addition to the 'Poison' arsenal, this popular and long-running (since 1985) line of fragrances. I have received it as a Christmas gift. I never owned any of the Poison series so it was unlikely I would have added any Dior Poison to my collection myself, though the beautiful, deep blue bottle tickled my curiosity. Well this one was quite a surprise! ~ The packaging ~ The box follows previous designs of Posion perfumes with this time the main colour being blue. The alternating cobalt and midnight blue coloured round opaque glass captures ...  Read the complete review

This is one of my all time favourite scents. To justify the cost of a luxury fragrance, it has to tick lots of boxes. For starters, the apple shaped bottle with its deep blue colouring looks and feels indulgent, satisfyingly weighty and nicely curvy. Most importantly, the perfume is heavenly. When you first spray, the elegant floral and citrus top notes come to the fore. Whilst being heady and light, there is no over-flowery slap in the face. These blooms are far more sultry. Then the exotic hypnotic heart of the perfume comes through. It's the type of scent that makes me close my eyes and inhale deeply and slowly. This is how I like rose ...  Read the complete review

Dior midnight poison was launched in 2007 and joined the already infamous poison range. Being quite young i have never been able to afford any of the range as the cheapest i have ever found them for is 30 pounds i always felt it was a bit much to spend on perfume alone. However the poison range is one of my favourites and i always make a beeline for my local debenhams or house of fraiser just to steal a sample ... i know im naughty lol. Midnight poison is the most sensual of the range as it has quite a mysterious scent to it that is much to strong for an everyday perfume but perfect for a hot date or going out partying. The smell is not for anyone that likes ...  Read the complete review

I was given this perfume as a christmas present, and was very pleasantly surprised by the perfume. The scent is quite strong, rich with spices and a floral touch, which although makes a beautiful combination, is a bit too much to wear during the daytime. This perfume, considering its price, is pretty expensive to just be a "going out" perfume, as I would prefer to spend my pennies on a perfume which can be used day or night. However, this perfume is gorgeous, and you do only need a tiny amount to get a really long-lasting scent. Be careful not to put on too much as it can be quite overpowering, being quite a strong perfume. I prefer this perfume to the original ...  Read the complete review

When I first saw the list of ingredients used: mandarin, bergamot, rose, amber, patchouli, vanilla, I was a bit wary, but Midnight Poison is a truly wonderful scent. Being a fan of Christian Dior's Dune myself, I looked forward to this new fragrance and it has indeed lived up to its standard. The face of the advertisement campaign was French actress Eva Green. Green seen dressed in an electric blue Cinderella gown was climbing up the stairs of a building and waiting in the balcony as the clock strikes 12 midnight. The bottle is Midnight blue and the cover was black. For those looking for lighter scents though, this is not for you. It is a very intense and ...  Read the complete review
