Dior
Poison Girl EDP
“Trouble, beautifully packaged and offering itself willingly.”
The gourmand-leaning 2016 entry in Dior's Poison line — François Demachy's launch, a rose-and-almond composition tuned for a younger market. Damask rose at the heart, settling on a vanilla-almond-tonka drydown. Wears strongest in fall and winter, evening. The youngest, lightest member of the Poison family.
