HeartThe Soul
The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2016 by Dior, Poison Girl was created by François Demachy as a sweeter, gourmand take on the iconic Poison lineage. This fragrance opens with bright citrus notes like bitter orange and lemon, which give way to the warm sweetness of vanilla, almond, and tonka bean. The composition is built around an orange-caramel-almond accord that sets it apart from its more floral predecessors. While its marketing campaign aimed to capture a youthful edge, some critics found it an awkward attempt by an older brand trying to appear edgy.
This fragrance has a strong opening with its citrus notes, which fade within an hour to reveal the sweet gourmand base. Apply one or two sprays on pulse points for best longevity — it’s ideal for daytime wear when you want something warm and inviting without being overpowering.

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.”
