Dior Hypnotic Poison Review

A classic vanilla based scent. I find this scent can be a little overpowering so I only use a little bit. Although after a few minutes I find it has settled and smells even better and not quite as intense. It is a long lasting scent, still smelling it on my skin at the end of the day. A scent that you will no doubt get compliments and "what are you wearing" comments on while wearing too, I certainly have.

So excited this is finally available to review! I absolutely love this perfume. I first experienced it on a work colleague and had to have it! It is a sign of an excellent quality fragrance when you only need on squirt and it lasts the entire day and night. It has a beautiful fragrance unlike any other I have tried. It is sophisticated, feminine and totally sexy.It can be used for day or night and is an excellent signature scent.It is worth the price for the quality and lasting power, but is not an overpowering scent like Samsara can be. Love it! :)

I smelled it, sprayed it and fell in love.This perefume is a vanilla oriental, kind of spicy. No doubt very unique. I've never smelled anything like this and I'm absolutely in love. Super dark, mysterious and sexy. You really don't need to spray a lot , so in a way you're saving money because you won't have I repurchase for ages. Simply amazing.

I love this perfume. It is so distinct and smells like nothing else I have come across before. It is not overpowering but yet it does come across- people definitely notice. A very feminine scent. You don't need to use a lot- the scent lasts all day.

This has to be my all time favourite scent. I fell in love the first time I smelt it. Such a sexy, feminine fragrance. Every time I put it on I feel like a Goddess!! Always gets loads of comments, and I love that a little goes a long way. This will always be my go to scent! Delish!!!

I absolutely love this perfume, it's my number 2 and everytime I wear it I get so many compliments and it makes you feel sexy, warm and in control, there is just something about it! I tend to wear it more on cooler days and in the winter as it feels like a warm vanilla scent. Love in a bottle :)

Dior has the best fragrances, I have so many favourites that I keep on buying again and again. Dior is excellent quality and just pure elegance to me.

I adore this scent, I use it all the time. It is a lovely fragrance, spicy, vanilla, exotic and really feminine/sexy.

It's one I wear when I go out at night to dinner or parties. It's one of those fragrances that is so unique- you either love it or hate it. I absolutely love it!

The bottle is also as unique as the fragrance, with it's red little potion looking bottle. It looks stunning on my dresser.

The fragrance seems to last a long time. A couple of sprays, and later on in the day I can still smell this lovely fragrance. An awesome product.

This was one of Dior's masterpiece creations before the brand started watering down their scents and reformulated the life out of their fragrance range.

The review I am writing is for a bottle of the current formulation. This is identified by the gold ring under the cap (the older versions have a black lid & cap).

There isn't a huge difference in the smell between the original and the current formulation. The difference is mainly around the lasting power and sillage.

While the original lingers on clothing for over a week, the new scent lasts an hour max.

In terms of the scent itself, it is difficult to describe much like the rest of the poison range. The scent doesn't lend itself easily to any broad category (e.g. oriental; gourmand,etc) and it doesn't do the scent any justice by trying to lump into one. I do notice, however, a dominant vanilla well blended amongst a number of other notes

Instead, it is a very unique scent with no other similar scents on the market.

The first time I caught a whiff of this perfume was when serving a customer at a cafe I worked at, and I'm not usually one to ask someone what their wearing but for some reason I had to know! It was simply 'hypnotic', not to strong or over-powering, yet I knew I had to buy it when I demanded to know what the perfume was. And the best part is two simple little sprays stay potent for hours before I felt the need to re-apply. Definitely worth the price, and though the bottle is in no way shaped like a apple it reminds me of the poisoned blood red apple in Snow White.

Everybody seems to love this perfume, I can see why. I love the way the scent lasts and lingers all day. It is a sexy, powerful, feminine scent. I love to wear to wear at night rather than during the day. But use it sparingly - it can be pretty strong and over powering. Even after washing - I find the scent sticks to my clothing.
