Dior
Midnight Poison
“Bergamot and damask rose over earthy patchouli — Dior's mysterious 2007, discontinued and dear.”

The dark, rose-centric 2007 entry in Dior's Poison line — François Demachy's launch, a denser take on the line's spicy-floral DNA. Damask rose at the heart, settling on a patchouli-amber-vanilla drydown. A winter evening fragrance. Now discontinued, a quiet sleeper among Poison fans.
