Poison Eau De Parfum

Poison Eau de Parfum by Christian Dior is a legendary and iconic fragrance, originally launched in 1985 as an Eau de Toilette (EDT). While the original is widely known in its EDT form, the EDP version of “Poison” (referring to the main line, not flankers like Hypnotic Poison EDP or Pure Poison EDP which are distinct fragrances) is a rare or less common concentration of the original. The essence of Poison is a bold, dark, mysterious, and highly seductive Oriental Floral elixir. It was a revolutionary scent for its time, known for its powerful presence and enigmatic depth, primarily designed for women.
