My Mumma had a bottle of this when I was younger, I loved it so much and the scent has never left my mind. So when I managed to get $60 in Farmers vouchers I decided to purchase a 30ml bottle. Making it only $45 to buy. I don't need perfume, it's probably the last thing I should of bought but it's good to have lots of choice right?
The gorgeous bottle reminds me of an apple, glossy and bright red I just want to bite into it. The black lid on top makes the juicy red bottle stand out even more.
I take the lid of and spray my neck, the spray nozzle on this is awesome, it seems to spray really wide. 1 spray will cover my whole neck.
When I first spray it is like a vanilla overload all vanilla and not a lot else. I start thinking I have made a huge mistake buying this bottle, and doesn't smell as amazing as I remembered. It actually smells like clothes that have been in the dryer too long and come out smelling kind of burnt. Once it dries I still get that vanilla scent but with a woody/oriental undertone. It's warming and a great scent for winter however I don't think I could wear it in summer as I would imagine it would be quite heavy.
For an EDT it lasts for hours I don't need to top up during the day i can spray it at 7am and can still smell it at 7pm. It smells the same all day it doesn't change, it doesn't have all the different layers like some of my favourite fragrances do.
While it's nice I won't repurchase. It doesn't smell the way I remember or maybe it just suited my mumma but not me. For me the vanilla is too strong and overpowering.
I'm a big fan of Dior's Poison range and had to have this in my collection. I love the bottle design with it's deep red body and gorgeous black lid. I feel that this is definitely true to the Poison range with it's deep seductive fragrance. I definitely smell vanilla, almond and possibly caramel but the fragrance isn't quite like candy because the vanilla seems to take this fragrance to a more enchanting level and prevents it from being too sweet and sickly. I find this fragrance is too strong to wear in warmer weather as it seems to be overpowering when your body temperature heats up but it's great to wear during the colder months.
Tips: Try not to squirt on too much as you could accidently overpower yourself and others around you.
