The story behind the bottle.
Poison Extrait de Parfum, launched in 2014 by François Demachy for Dior, is an Oriental Floral fragrance that captures the essence of sensuality and power. The composition opens with a bright burst of African Orange Flower and Jasmine, before settling into a heart of Rose and Tuberose absolute. These floral notes are enveloped by Vanilla and soft spices, creating a warm and animalic base that lingers on the skin for hours. This fragrance was part of Dior's Les Extraits collection, which emphasizes meticulous craftsmanship and the use of high-quality ingredients.
Apply Poison Extrait de Parfum to pulse points for maximum impact — it projects strongly and lasts throughout the day. Given its enormous sillage and eternal longevity, one or two sprays are sufficient.
