Dior
Hypnotic Poison EDP
“Spun sugar and black magic wrapped in jasmine silk.”
The denser 2014 EDP concentration of the 1998 Hypnotic Poison — François Demachy's launch, swapping some of the original's coconut-tropical character for a darker licorice-almond opening. Licorice and almond at the top, jasmine sambac heart, vanilla-tonka base. A fall and winter evening fragrance.

- ●Richer and more opulent than the iconic 1998 EDT
- ●Jasmine-sambac heart is genuinely seductive

Trade-offs
