The Story

Midnight Poison Extrait de Parfum by Dior was launched in 2007 and is a creation of perfumers François Demachy, Jacques Cavallier Belletrud, and Olivier Cresp. This Oriental Woody fragrance starts with the delicate yet striking note of rose, which transitions into the earthy warmth of patchouli. The base notes feature French labdanum, tonka bean, and vanilla, creating a sensual and intense composition that is both rare and captivating. Each bottle is distinctive, adorned with spiral lines reminiscent of haute couture gowns.

Application Tips

Apply this fragrance with confidence; its rich base notes take time to bloom. One or two sprays are sufficient as it lasts throughout the evening without needing frequent reapplications.

François Demachy portrait
I grew up in Grasse. The raw materials of perfumery are my mother tongue.

François 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. Before joining Dior in 2006, he spent two decades at Chanel. At Dior, Demachy has reimagined the house's olfactory heritage while pushing it forward, creating Sauvage (now the world's best-selling men's fragrance), Miss Dior Blooming Bouquet, and the prestigious La Collection Privée series.

The story behind the bottle.

The intimate embrace of a late-night conversation in a dimly lit room, where the scent of vanilla and tonka bean envelops you like a warm shawl.
