Spicy floral with a touch of citrus and a prominent vanilla-musk base. It's not a neutral scent nor it is an unassuming one - it stands out and demands confidence, just like my other favorite Dior Addict. Jasmine here has a woodsy, musky tinge and a touch of citrus - it's odd yet exhilarating, not a soft romantic jasmine but a wild one that yearns for adventure :)

I wore this for a while when I fist started to wear perfume and loved it but now I find it too strong and not girly enough. Im addicted to sweet floral scents and this is just too harsh for me. I decided to wear this for a day a while back and I absolutely hated it, smelt kinda masculine to me. I’m by no means saying this is an unpleasant smelling perfume, far from it, it just doesn’t fit me anymore.

The bottle goes really well with the fragrance. The fragrance itself is hard to describe for me. Very different from all the other fragrances I have. Strong, but not suffocating. I think that only a little should be applied as it really stands out. Not a fragrances that subtly blends with the skin. Very nice bottle. All in all, another good quality fragrance from Dior.

I actually didnt expect to like this because of reviews on here, but I do!Hmmm, what is it, floral, oriental...floriental maybe? I do smell flowers and something...musk perhaps. It takes something special for me to like a straight-up floral and Im not good with naming notes. This is a bit spicy, but very soft and feminine without being grossly sweet and it has a little bit of oomph...As in it doesnt smell like everything else out there. It has uniqueness. Its seductiveness is almost subliminal, but it is there! It is a cozy sensuality, it is not scream in your face sexy such as addict. And I LOVE the bottle. Perfection.

This scent is awesome! It definitely has musky floral notes that smell amazing! It smells very sexy, my boyfriend says it relaxing too. I wouldn't classify it as light but it certainly is not overwhelming either. The scent also lasts forever! two squirts is plenty and it stays on all day. I absolutely love this fragrance and use it as an everyday fragrance during colder months and for nights out all year round. I get many compliments on it from people of all ages teenage to older adults; and my boyfriend really likes it too!!

This is one of the nicest perfumes I've ever found! Is strong but I prefer them like that compared to floral light scents. Don't know what I can compare it to but after a few hours it does have a vanilla smell to it which I've never noticed before until I read the comments on here. Would buy again!

I used the original poison as a teenager in the 80's and my husband purchased for me the new version as a gift while traveling last year. I received another bottle as a Christmass present this year so this reminded me to do a review. I find this perfume to be a bit too strong. It also gets stale or old very quickly. I loved Poison in the 80's but it is definately not a fragrance for the 2000 generation.

I picked up this perfume in August after sniffing it and falling in love. I'd describe it as a spicy vanilla floral scent (as others have), but it also smells clean to me - almost like soap. There's much more going on there, but it's hard for me to describe. It's very sexy, yet I feel comfortable wearing it to the office as well. My hubby loves it too! Just remember that less is more with this fragrance.
