Pure Poison Eau de Parfum

Nothing special

I don’t understand the hype about this perfume. There is nothing special and the scent is real’y light.

No

Didnt last for even an hour. The changed something in the formula. It used to last all day long once upon a time.

Special to me

I have worn this perfume since it came out and no other since then. My late husband would always gift me a bottle for Christmas and it became traditional and special. I’ve gotten so many compliments on how wonderful it smells

One of my favourite perfumes, launched 20 years ago in 2004. The main notes are white flowers (jasmine, gardenia), orange blossom, amber, sandalwood, cedar and musk. I came back to it in 2023 and fell in love with it again.

love love love

This is my favorite perfume of my whole life. It's long-lasting, super sensual and feminine without being too sweet. I need a travel size version.

You will feel like a queen

This was the first Dior perfume I ever bought years ago and have been a fan ever since. It's very sensual and feminine. I love wearing it during the day or at events. It's my personal bias, but I feel like a queen when I wear it.

a no for me

Its not bad not good! Im biased because i hate gardenia i feel like it smells so heavy and is headache inducing. First spray smells good the gardenia notes get stronger as it dries ddown

My best for two decades!!!

This is one of the oldest Dior fragrances ever. ! Classy and much feminine! Me my sister and mom have been wearing it for 2 decades already! However formula slightly changed !!! Un grand classique! Not meant for young ladies or teens forget it! If you are on the thirties and more then this is for you!!!!

LOVE LOVE LOVE ❤️

Such a good clean scent! Smells sexy but wintery cold clean sexy! Super long lasting and is my go to for years!!

The mysterious wallflower.

This was my third time repurchasing this fragrance as it is absolutely devine. Due to my chosen profession, I am not a regular perfume user; however the “French girl” in me has always been drawn to interestingly beautiful scents. This beautiful little bottle has never left me disappointed. In my experience the scent is a perfect balance of subtle and apparent, with good staying power. It seems to have a fairly diverse variety of notes, thus I have a difficult time really describing anything specific. It’s not particularly sweet or overtly floral, but still feels feminine, which I love; it’s got just the right amount of spice to make it interesting without being super obvious. In terms of vibe I would say it’s sensual, elegant and mysterious; for some it could even lean a little femme fetal or mysterious wallflower. It makes me think of Spanish dancing and evenings on the beach - certainly sensual, but in a “fantasy” sort of way. I feel like it has a timeless quality, suitable for a variety of adult ages, without seeming matronly on the young or immature on the old. While I got plenty of compliments wearing it in my early 20s, I also wouldn’t bat an eye about lending it to my mother for a wedding or night out. Due to its fairly subtle nature I feel like it is relatively versatile. It’s unlikely to disturb anyone if you wore it for a meal, but also gives enough to leave an impression on anyone within an intimate distance. I generally buy the smaller bottles and try to keep it out of light. While I don’t know the sensitivity of this specific formula, perfumes more generally are know to degrade over time and lose their potency, especially when exposed to light.

Sweet little old lady smell

Meh, I got tired of it after a few uses. Gave it to my mom and she finished the bottle. Smells good, but too powdery/soapy.

A Lasting Impression

Purchased Dior's Pure Poison parfume with high expectations.... It smells divine. It's inviting. Elegant. Leaves a mind wondering if it's floral or woody. Reminds me of the now discontinued, Valentino V Absolut', except it has no staying power on my skin. Stays on my clothing forever. It's subtle but lingers, in a good way.
