The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2014, Hypnotic Poison Eau de Parfum by Dior is crafted by François Demachy and stands as a proof of the brand's legacy of elegance and sophistication. The fragrance opens with licorice and almond, creating an initial impression that is both sweet and nutty. This gives way to a heart of jasmine sambac and orange blossom, which adds a soft floral touch. The base notes feature vanilla and tonka bean, grounding the composition in warmth and depth.
Apply two sprays to pulse points for an immediate warmth that builds over time. The fragrance's base notes take about an hour to fully bloom, so plan accordingly if you want to enjoy its full depth.

François Demachy
Dior's guardian of dreamsFrançois Demachy is the in-house perfumer-creator at Christian Dior, a title that places him among the most influential noses in the world. Born in Cannes and raised in Grasse — the historic capital of perfumery — he carries the craft in his blood.
“Early on, I memorised a whole host of notes without even realising it. I could recognise moss and flowers. My nose educated itself.”
