Dior

Midnight Poison

2007

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

Midnight Poison
patchouli
citrus
rose

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.

The take

  • Patchouli-rose evening with no modern equivalent
  • Iconic dark bottle worth hunting

Trade-offs
