Launched by Dior in 2006, Pure Poison Elixir is a floral fragrance that marries bright citrus and white florals with the warmth of cacao and vanilla. The composition opens with mandarin orange and bergamot, providing a fresh and vibrant start before transitioning into the heart notes of jasmine and gardenia. These floral elements are grounded by the rich and sweet base of cacao and amber, creating a scent that is both alluring and comforting.

Application Tips
Pure Poison Elixir has a long-lasting nature but with moderate sillage. For optimal wear, apply to pulse points and allow it to develop on your skin throughout the day. It pairs particularly well with cooler weather when you want a scent that is both warm and engaging without overpowering others.
