About this fragrance

Written from the structured record above — note pyramid, accord weights, perfumer credit and era.

Hypnotic Poison (2008) by Christian Dior is an Oriental Vanilla built on a striking quartet of top notes: vanilla, licorice, star anise, and jasmine. The opening is immediately soft-spicy, with anise and licorice lending a dark, almost medicinal sweetness that smooths into vanilla. Jasmine adds a white floral lift, keeping the composition from becoming syrupy. The listed pyramid stops at the top, but the main accords tell the rest: soft spicy (100%), vanilla (78%), anis (74%), sweet (56%), powdery (54%), and white floral (52%). This is a dense, enveloping scent with a powdery finish that lingers close to the skin.

Collectors of 2000s Dior will recognize this as the classic Hypnotic Poison, prized for its balance of gourmand and spice. It suits those who enjoy bold, sweet orientals with an anisic twist, especially for evening wear in cooler months. Not a shy fragrance—test on skin to see how the licorice and vanilla play against your chemistry.

中文簡介

經典版 Hypnotic Poison(2008)屬東方香草調,前調由香草、甘草、八角與茉莉組成。開場即散發柔和辛香,八角與甘草帶來微暗、近乎藥感的甜味,隨後香草逐漸圓潤,茉莉則以白花香氣提亮,避免整體過於甜膩。雖然官方只列出前調,但主要香調比例顯示:柔和辛香100%、香草78%、八角74%、甜56%、粉感54%、白花52%。這是一款濃郁包覆的香水,粉感收尾貼膚持久。

適合喜歡大膽甜香、帶八角個性的收藏家,尤其適合秋冬夜晚使用。建議先試在皮膚上,感受甘草與香草如何與體溫交融。

Before you buy

A batch code cannot prove authenticity on its own, but it can expose contradictions — a code that decodes to a date before the fragrance existed, or a bottle and box that disagree.
