Christian Dior: Poison, Eau de Toilette

I don't know why I'm reviewing Christian Dior Poison as I cant think of anything positive to say about it. Arghhhhhh! I guess it reminds me of my Nan and I never did like her much! Maybe that's a big put off for me eh lol It was always one of them things she reeked of when she went to plant a big red smacker on my cheek! It was overwhelming as a small child with small lungs I felt intoxicated and you could smell my Nan over half an hour before she arrived at my house and smell her for hours even after she had left! Even worse for me one year when she went abroad and bought my Mum back some Anais Anais and a huge bottle... of yep... POISON! Mum being Mum has ...  Read the complete review

The reviews on this sight seem to fall in two opposing camps. You either love it or hate it. This propably shows how distinctive the fragrance is. If something was insipid then people would find boring ordinary things to say about it, but this has such diametric opinions that it really must be soemthing different. I really like it and have done for many years - yes it is heavy and strong but you learn not to put too much on. I think it is also one of those perfumes that can smell quite different on different people. I'm not sure I associate this perfume with older people I always associate Lavender and floral perfumes with older ...  Read the complete review

Some fragrances are eternal and in 1985 Edouard Fletchier created `Poison` for the House of Dior, a potent, powerful and confident perfume that exudes sex appeal. A Poison Eau De Toilette Spray would be top of my Christmas wishlist. The unmistakable fragrance is heady and magical and it has an aroma that is unforgettable. Anyone who loves soft feminine, floral fragrances may find Poison far too intense. The merest hint of a spray will last for hours. I wouldn't use it as a daytime fragrance the captivating smell is strictly for evening use. I wouldn't maybe choose Poison as a perfume for a young woman, it seems to shriek maturity to ...  Read the complete review

A friend got me a set of mini perfumes for Christmas and this Dior Poison was one of them. I love my fragrances light and breezy and never really go for heavy scents as it tends to smell too overpowering and causes my head to ache. So anyway, I thought I'd put some of this perfume on my wrist and wear it for a few hours, so I could test out whether I would actually be able to wear of properly or not. The bottle (full size) looks quite nice and I think it comes with a little spray attachment you have to squeeze. This gives it the classic perfume look that you'd see in old movies. I haven't actually seen many perfumes with this spray attachment on and thought it ...  Read the complete review

Christian Dior Poison is an interesting scent because it always seems to evoke a strong reaction when its name is mentioned. its a real love it or hate it fragrance and I fall into the hate it category. The perfume has been around since the eighties which is testament to its appeal to the masses but i cant for the life of me comprehend who those masses can be. Its expensive. It does come in a rather attractive purple bottle but the beauty of the capsule hides the evil that lurks within. I can best describe the smell as "cloying". It is seriously overpowering and it doesnt seem to matter how little you apply it absolutely engulfs the wearer and emits ...  Read the complete review
