The original Poison fragrance from Dior launched over 30 years ago (oh that makes us feel positively ancient!) has become legendary and a fragrance that you either loved or loathed! So when Poison Girl appeared on the radar we were very keen to discover how it related to the original and more importantly would we all like it......
Our first encounter is a sweet floral aroma courtesy of vanilla, tonka bean (our aroma of the week) and a floral note that isn't quite identifiable but we are assured that rose, orange blossom and heliotrope are there. This is quite a powerful aroma, as was the iconic original, so a little goes a v-e-r-y long way.... too much of this would become cloying, a bit over whelming and probably annoy your colleagues if constantly applied throughout the day.
As for the comparison to the original, (if you've never experienced it you really must!) we can detect elements that made the first version so unmistakably identifiable to all that came within sniffing distance but in a lighter and juicier combination. Although not immediately noticeable lemon and bitter orange cut through the sweet notes, resulting in a perfume that we are all happy to wear. Hoorah!
If you ask anyone over a certain age if they like Poison perfume you will get a very definitive and immediate answer one way or the other, but Poison Girl we think will have a much wider appeal and we are happy to give it space on our dressing tables.
