The story behind the bottle.
Tendre Poison by Dior was launched in 1994 and crafted by perfumer Edouard Fléchier. This floral scent opens with a bright citrus accord that includes bergamot, mandarin orange, and Brazilian rosewood, creating an invigorating freshness. The heart of the fragrance is dominated by tuberose, honey, and orange blossom, adding a sweet and powdery warmth. These notes are complemented by freesia and rose, which bring a delicate floral touch. The base notes of sandalwood, heliotrope, vanilla, and musk create a soft and enveloping finish, making Tendre Poison an elegant and sophisticated scent.
One to two sprays on pulse points will ensure that Tendre Poison lasts throughout the day. The citrus notes are immediate and refreshing, while the base notes develop gradually, providing an evolving scent experience. This fragrance works best in cooler weather when the warmth of its powdery and woody accords is most appreciated.
