I spent a few hours walking around downtown, then I spritzed this on. Then I walked about some more.

For those who refer to this as a man magnet...


It's uncanny. Men would turn around and stare or linger by me, whereas a few hours before this did not happen.

Of course, I do not pick fragrances solely based on their ability to elicit attention from strange men.

This scent is lovely. Perhaps my nose is impaired but I do not find it too strong. It's rather dreamy. And sweet smelling, but not sickly. But with a bit of bite to it, like me ;)

It also smells familiar. Like I'd known it before and was coming home to it now, ahahaha.

My intuition was telling me that this would be the scent for me and it is. This is the only fragrance I will buy from now on, none other compare.


I'm reviewing the toilette as I could not locate the parfum in my area.

Worked next to a gal who wore this all the time --- gave me an asthma attack.

This has to be the ultimate 'Marmite' of the perfume world - you either love it or hate it! And I hate it. Really heady and overpowering - I had the misfortune of still living at home with my mum when she went through her 'Poison' phase when it first came out. I would have to cross the street if someone came the other way wearing it, it gives me blinding headaches.

Definitely an acquired taste in the perfume world.

The fragrance smells like dirt or fresh soil to me. One of the worst ever created. No wonder it's called POISON!

I don't wear this scent much anymore, but I will always have a little bottle about. It is a very nostalgic scent for me. It's a very deep scent, nothing like anything I've ever smelled, and I'm rarely in the mood for it anymore but I just can't part with it. The notes include a blend of amber, honey, berries, and other spices. On me I mainly get berries and spices.

I remember this fragrance from the 1980s and I got a ton of compliments on it. I think this was my holy grail fragrance back then. Fast forward to now. I re-purchased this based on memories of it. I do think this is a "mood" fragrance. I can't wear it except under the perfect circumstances, when I want to feel like a femme fatal. It is certainly an evening fragrance to go along with a little black dress and dripping in diamonds.

This certainly is not the fragrance to wear under casual circumstances. I will hold on to my bottle and spritz on from time to time when the mood is right and the weather is cool.

I do love the rich deep oriental notes in this and if you don't overdo it, the fragrance will draw a lot of positive attention. If you spray on too much, be prepared for it to overwhelm everyone in the room.

I love this perfume! From the first sniff I was hooked. Unfortunately my husband can't stand it.I use to wear this in my twenties and got alot of attention. Anyway, I seriously feel naughty when I wear it. The lasttime my husband smelled it on me, I was wearing the lotion. Maybe it was old or something. I'll have to try the perfume again.Brings back such good memories.

I love the bottle... I love the name... but my memories of this scent from the 80's were actually much better than the bitter reality I was crushed by recently during a stop at my local Dior counter. I remembered this scent as a sweet and plummy rich dark fragrance but having sampled it recently I find it is now a weird floral which smells nothing at all like my memories. Back in the day, I never wore the stuff but knew a few girls who loved Poison and applied it with reckless abandon. Their passing through a room would fill it with aroma. I now suspect that they wore knockoff versions. Either that or the tester I used the other day had gone bad. Or maybe Poison simply does not work with my chemistry. Whatever the case it's a no for me.

Definitely an acquired taste in the perfume world.

Poison is definitely a fragrance that you can either wear or you can't. To me it takes a strong, confident, and very sensual personality to pull it off. It is not for the faint of heart. In my experience, men LOVE it. I LOVE it. It is one of my staples for the winter & fall. Poison is a dark mysterious, SEXY scent.
Created by Christian Dior in 1985, Poison is a luxurious, oriental, floral fragrance. This feminine scent possesses a blend of amber, honey, berries, opoponax and other spices. Poison is recommended for evening use. continued >>
