About this fragrance
Written from the structured record above — note pyramid, accord weights, perfumer credit and era.
Launched in 1985, Poison is a landmark Oriental Floral that defined an era of bold, unapologetic perfumery. The opening is a dense, fruity rush: plum and wild berries laced with coriander, anise, and Brazilian rosewood, creating a sweet, spicy, and slightly green introduction. The heart is a lavish bouquet where tuberose and jasmine meet incense, white honey, cinnamon, opoponax, carnation, African orange flower, and rose, weaving a rich, resinous, and floral tapestry. The base anchors with vanilla, amber, sandalwood, heliotrope, musk, vetiver, and Virginia cedar, leaving a warm, woody, and sweet trail that lingers for hours.
This is a powerhouse fragrance with massive sillage and longevity, best suited for collectors who appreciate vintage-style orientals and aren't afraid of making a statement. It shines in cool weather and evening wear, appealing to those who love fruity-sweet, spicy, and ambery compositions. If you adore deep, complex scents with a retro glamour, Poison is a must-try.
