Poison Perfume by Christian Dior For Women

About the Poison Perfume for Women

Christian Dior Poison Perfume is a rich amber floral fragrance for women, launched in 1985 with plum, wild berries, spices, tuberose, incense, honey, vanilla and warm woods. Its deep, sweet and spicy scent suits her for evening wear, dinners, formal events and cooler-weather occasions.

This women’s perfume is an Eau De Toilette Spray (EDT), giving it a lighter concentration than a typical Eau De Parfum Spray (EDP) while retaining a strong fragrance character. More substantial than a light everyday cologne, it opens with dark fruits and spices, develops through rich florals and incense, then settles into a warm amber, vanilla and woody base.
