Not your average vanilla scent, this one has a lot of personality, very strong and rich. The only bad thing for me is that it doesn't go very well with my chemistry, the perfume tends to smell like bitter almonds and soap on my skin lol.
Anyway is a great perfume.... and should be be worn by anyone who likes it ;p


I respect your opinion.
And you are right, its not the most masculine smell out there.
I guess we both can agree it smells great though. Haha;)


People should wear whatever the hell they feel like wearing. Doesn't matter if it's a man wearing a perfume or a woman wearing a cologne. People are so busy worrying about what the hell someone else is doing with their body! Makes me sick to my stomach!
Good to see im not the only one:)
And yes, they both smell very nice on women also!

There's nothing wrong with you, man. I had the same reaction when I checked out Midnight Poison (hint) and when I took a female friend of mine to test Hypnotic Poison out. I ended up wanting them for myself! I love to smell them on a woman and yet, I love them on me, too.

And yes, i have to admit; Im a guy. LOL! But this is just such an incredible perfume. It makes me very dreamy and relaxed. And i have only had very positive compliments from other people this far. I know that it is a womens frag, but everytime i use it i feel extremely strong and powerful. Funny huh? And this is the only fragrance that has ever made this kind of impression on me. And belive me, i have tried so many different perfumes over the years. And im not that femme kind of guy that wears a lot of light womens fragrances and stuff. But the thing i really love about this fragrance is that it is "genderless". At least in my opinion. you cant pick one spescific gender to this one.. And this is what makes this fragrance so nice. Its simply amazing, and will fit anyone who dares to use it and appriciates its power. Just cant get my hands off it.
Its so innocent in a way, yet at the same time so very deep and mysterious.
Also on me i mostly detect the fruits and spices, not to much of the florals, and that is a good thing for me.
I think this smells just as manly on me as for example le male by jean paul gaultier. Only its much much better!:)
Am i weird?

Behold, the turbulent grey clouds rolling in off an unruly sea!
There is an undeniably wicked, perhaps sinister undertone to this fragrance that I find utterly transfixing and distracting, almost to the point where I long to smell this hypnotising (OMG did I really just write that!) brew on a man.
A female friend wears HP and my review is based entirely upon the experience of HP emanating from her. Somehow I dare not test this on myself because I fear I do not possess the witchy edge required to pull it off.
P.S. Soulsong, have you tried Tom Ford's Black Orchid? Both the EDP and the EDT possess a certain mystery that can impart a secret knowledge directly to your soul (no pun intended) if you dare but just listen.


This is the perfume which should have been mentioned in famous M. Monroe statement how she is going to bed wearing nothing except perfume. Well, I am certain there is no perfume that would suit her better than this one!







EDIT: Okay, I have figured it out: I love it... there is one big "BUT" apply with a light hand, some people find it to be too much
I think it depends a lot on the pH of your skin, in other words your body chemistry. That's why some perfumes may end up smelling different on other people. I don't get playdough at all but quite a few have already mentioned that so I guess HP develops the playdough scent on some people.

it is more suited to winter but i wear this all year because i can't imagine being without it.
i'm now on my 3rd bottle!! to me it smells like lots of vanilla, sugar and powder. BEAUTIFUL!





Lately, as I became a little more tolerant towards heavy scents, I decided to retry Hypnotic. What a surprise expected me! I was totally mesmerized and bewildered and finally was on the same page as hundreds of Hypnotic lovers.
So I tried to wear it and there followed another surprise - I got nauseous, had a headache and felt really miserable for the whole day. I was crashed! It is a real torture to fall in love with a fragrance so deeply and to be unable to wear it, because of one's own weakness.
I can only hope for my senses to become more resistant towards heavy scents, so that I could be able to enjoy wearing such an incredible fragrance as Hypnotic Poison!


To me, it smells like the sexiest, most delicious spicy, creamy, sweet,sexy, sensual, alluring (good word below) PlayDoh EVER lol. I LOVE it, and love it even more because it reminds me of PlayDoh and being little I suppose. Mmmmmm. It lasts for hours, such a special scent.
Very sexy, unique...definitely for night wear or special occasions. One of those ones you're really tempted to taste because it smells so scrummy lol. (well, for me at least)

Simply amazing scent..
I really wanted to love this, but I just end up smelling like a children's entertainer. Not good. If I had never had playdough as a child, this would be so nice.


For starters when I first applied this it didn't go on anything spectacular , I thought it rather watery & weak, like if all it had was vanilla extract & alcohol - but then it started warming on my skin, transforming into a rich ambery vanilla with roasted coconut & almonds, just the bit I sprayed on my wrist was enveloping me , wafting all about me ,an amazing, surprising metamorphosis indeed!
Hypnotic seems to get stronger & stronger with time so I say apply with caution, this stuff is soft but over doing it can become suffocating.
I think wearing this will make a lady happy & comfortable, in cold weather this could be used as sort of liquid sweater, it will make you feel good & warm - feeling so pleased will make you comfortably sexy , if that makes any sense.. for the guys maybe it connotes some tasty baked goody , sweet , warm , gooey ? - again the beautiful ads suggest a different brand of sensuality , but it doesn't matter, this still has 'something' about it..
For my taste I would like more spices & jasmine to appear in this perfume,however this is a very nice warm, buttery vanilla scent.
I will have to say that Chopard's Casmir is still the best vanilla scent that I have personaly tried & still my favorite of this type fragrance.



Bold, oppulent, sultry and rich Hypnotic Poison is the best vanillic scent I've ever tried. But not a moist, childish vanilla, no! This one is adult, dry vanilla that warms you up, inside out that envelops your senses... Yummm! So good!
I could take a bath with this fragrance... wonderful vanilla, almond and a hint of coconut that make me hooked!
I'm obssesed, mesmerized, hypnotized by this perfume. It stays for ages on the skin and on the clothes!
I've to say this scent is heady, alluring, cozy but very sexual and highly addictive! You've been warned!



Hypnotic Poison has lots of vanilla in it but it is not a girly vanilla, it is a vanilla for a woman. It is mysterious, chic and sexy. It also has this slightly bitter note which prevents you smelling like a cookie - I think thats the almonds as it is that marzipan smell. It is quite linear - the smell is stronger after you first spray it but the top notes dont wear out as much as other perfumes'.
Warning: 1-2 sprays max or this Poison might turn poisonous. Spray lightly and you can use it on cold winter days too, not just nights.
SILLAGE is very good, as after I spray it on and leave the house, my mum says she can still smell it around the house for quite a while.

In the other hand... many many many men will give you any compliment about your aroma.
The better side (unic for me), its the pleasant fragrance for yourself: its very feminine, alluring, warm...
BUT...Like others Dior's creations, this one its not for everybody. I recommend try in your skin before buy a bottle.


My friend used to joke that it is indeed hypnotic, the way I couldn't stop going into Smith and Cougheys to try it on, and sniffing my wrist afterwards.
I appreciate everything about this perfume, from the beautiful deep red bottle, to the font of the name :) The scent itself is definitely my favourite.
I love perfumes with vanilla, and almond in them, which is probably why I really enjoy this fragrance the most after a couple of hours.
Unfortunately I only have a miniature bottle, given to me by that friend, but I plan to buy the full size as soon as I can.
I would recommend trying this on yourself a couple of times before deciding to buy it, as your opinion may change after a while.

Update:Well, Yes, today I purchased a full bottle!I find it absolutely divine.

i have the body lotion and certainly buy the elixir for special ocassions ,too.
I have nothing to add besides everyone has already told...HYPNOTISING vanilia with sweet-sweet smelling almonds.BEST recipe EVER!!!

Works miracles and it is a nice way to start a conversation!
Keep it rolling!
i think it is not for the office because creates too much distraction to the opposite gender!

I got a few samples and had to throw them away very far from me! I avoided giving it to my co-workers just in case anyone could decide she liked it. One of them got it as a present. She doused herself with it every morning. She was not working right close to me. Anyway all papers and documents (also important and delicate ones) she handled smelled of Hypnotic. It gives me instant nausea and headache. Not sexy in the least. Since so many people like it, both women and men, I guess it's just my problem. I could say it's my chemistry, but in this case I can't stand this perfume on other people as well, especially the ones who bathe in it and seems to be many wearer.
I'm not sure what exactly hits me so badly in this. Maybe the whole thing. The notes list seems lovely, apart maybe from coconut which I don't like in scents, still I like it as food. A strange type of cloying jasmine? A massive use of extra-sweet foody vanilla? I don't know. The package is nice and that's all. I love the real original Poison and then all the following ones have been kind of nightmare for me. I wonder if perfumers put some new ingredients to make these scents different and appealing. It seems to work with so many people! All love Hypnotic! So sexy... god, I want to climb over walls with my nails when I smell this. It's very long lasting, so I guess this is a plus if you like it. It clings to fabrics and objects, it fills the air around and in a short while you won't be able to smell anything else, from food taste to other scents in the room. One day I will be able to try this on again and try to understand all the hype. For now I can't and I still wonder why many nice scents get discontinued and atomic bombs seem to be everlasting and widespread. I would give a stop to the production. In the meanwhile go out and try it if you haven't yet. 90% people think it is sexy and yummy. Not said you will be in the 10% like me.



I cannot sense the top notes, except for the Allspice. I cannot catch floral notes middle notes; but the Brazillian Rosewood makes it's self known. The Brazillian Rosewood gives a soft feeling, and combined with the Sandalwood, brings a slight woody character. It seems as if the Allspice, and the base notes of Almonds, Sandalwood, and Vanilla, take over the scent, swallowing up all the middle notes. However, I like it that way, the Allspice plus all the base notes. I am a little disappointed when the Allspice wears off because then the fragrance becomes less interesting, less striking. I am enjoying this scent, it's delectable, velvety, dramatic, dreamy...





My British coleague came into the office sniffed the air and said: "something there smells gravy"... After a while it strucked me, that it is how I smell with my Hypnotic Poison:)
Since then I didn't dear to put it ever again.. Maybe have to try next winter in country where no one knows what "gravy" is and how it smels:)


This perfume is sooo perfect! I love the smell of vanilla. Its not foody or gourmand but its very tempting, delicious and Hypnotizing indeed! It's a must for every women.
I also proved that it was a men magnet! but be careful because it can push them to do malicious things on you, if you know what i mean..
But I love this!!!
P.S. I feel like im Monica Belucci while wearing this! hahahaha
congrats Dior! make more poisons

It wasn't originally my plan to smell Hypnotic Poison, cuz I dunno, it sounded like something I would not like and the bottle was slightly offputting, or I think it's more like the color, cuz it's like bright red, instead of the warm dark Midnight Poison or Pure Poison bottles.
Anyway, I took a whiff and I got a warm combo of coconut, spices and vanilla. Mmm...Lovely! I absolutely love coconut and vanilla! Haha :D It really does have this sort of hypnotizing feel to it, all in a good way, if you know what I mean.;) I think Hypnotic Poison would be great for going out, but it's not this party perfume, it's much too sophisticated for that.:P
So despite my reservations for this, I've added it to my wish list as it is def something I really liked.Still need to sample it a few more times just to make sure it really does smell as yummy as I remember as it isn't very cheap as it is with all of Dior's fragrances in general.:D




My son thinks it smells like '' spicy pie with melting ice cream.'' I've received countless compliments with Hypnotic the oddest one being..."" Damn you smell so good! What type of dryer sheets do you use?" The woman who said this actually grabbed my shirt and sniffed it! I think it's the unique caraway note with almond that really does something magical with vanilla and jasmine...

abit expensive but definatly worth every scent. My boss and two of my collegues own it YOU CANT GET ENOUGH


I could use this for any season. Indeed, it's 100 degrees here, and I'm wearing it today. I bet it would be fabulous for Autumn and Winter too.

This is a highly sexual very lovely intimate perfume.
Meant to be worn by those whom you would love to get up close and personal with!
Learn from my experience DO NOT wear it around those whom you would NEVER want to attract in this way....
I actually wore this and I asked my brother if he liked it and he said yes very much, but that I was NOT allowed to wear it!
I asked why, upset because I really love it!
and he got embarrassed, said nothing and walked away.
How very awkward...
so I will only buy and wear this when there is a man I am interested in, and even then i will only wear it around that guy. ;)
Happy Sniffing!

If you like Disaronno Amaretto, you're gonna love this scent.



I never get enough from this fragrance!
It is one of my favorite perfume ever.
perfect to the winter!

I can't help feeling comforted when wearing this scent. When applied lightly, this fragrance is soft and soothing, only drifting up towards your nose to greet you with its scent every now and then.
I don't actually find this fragrance sexy, to me Hypnotic Poison is more romantic, casual almost. Its striking red bottle which suggests that its contents are indeed quite poisonous and hypnotising, doesn't seem to match the scent in my personal opinion. I'd describe Hypnotic Poison as being feminine, warm, friendly and slightly musky rather than outrageously sexy or seductive.
Apart from the obvious vanilla note, there are subtle hints of coconut, spices and almond throughout, which makes me think of Hypnotic Poison as being more of a gourmand rather than an oriental vanilla.
The lasting power is great, I wouldn't have expected anything less from a house like Dior. This perfume is the vanilla fragrance that I've always wanted to find, it's actually the way The Body Shop's Vanilla oil should have smelt. A true vanilla scent of undeniable quality and appeal.

and this is one of the best vanilla fragrances i have ever smelled. I love love love it and i have to have it!
It is just so mysterious and sexy. At the same time it is completely comforting and leaves anyone who smells you completely captivated. Men seem to really love it, and i just can't seem to get enough of it!
Will buy as soon as i can!

So today when I sprayed Hypnotic Poison on my wrist I got this smell again and remembered yesterday. It's top notes smell like vanilla with something sugary, even kinda creamy. I was thinking whatever I like it or not. Then it changed, creaminess gone and left florals with almonds and rosewood.
I am still thinking... and can't decide I want it for me or not. Time will see...
The bottle in my opinion is not very pretty for me.

I don't feel special wearing it but I like the smell and my fiance is crazy about it (which I found annoying at first, but I realized that all the men like it!). This perfume smells divine, I have to admit. Vanilla is perfect in it. It has something "dark" inside that makes me feel like the vampire when I put it on ... LOL!

Hypnotic is a sneaky little perfume! One minute it smells of root beer w/whip cream, next minute fruity and fresh and at other times smokey woodsy. The vanilla likes to hang out with me the most and that's fine with me!
Hypnotic hypnotizes me with its heavenly notes but if this smells of "Poison" than im dead cause I could just eat it up!


I will allways hold on to this!

Delicious, marvelous, hypnotic. MY perfume was finally created in order to proof to the world my existence as a lady, a delightful smelling lady. But, this last only a few months...
Passion went away, I couldn't stand HP anymore. Too sweet, too close to me, too "je ne sais quoi". I gave the bottle to someone.
Then, I regretted it. But, at the same time, I thought I had to find another perfume more suitable to me. Less present, softer. I tried to forget my HP.
Over the years, I tried many perfumes, I bought many, I loved many. But, in my heart, Hypnotic Poison will always remain the ONE. MY perfume. And I know that one day I will enter the store, go to the Dior counter, smell it and fall in love again with MY Hypnotic Poison!




Okay, associations aside, I definitely get a root beer accord and it's of an effervescent nature which lends a three-dimensional nature to the fragrance. Looking at the notes I see plum, coconut and almond notes; all vcry gourmand and all blended very well with their floral counterparts.
This scent is overwhelmingly sweet and sensual and that is why I adore it. For the same reason, it seems almost TOO perfected, which leaves something to be desired; a strange, discordant note that is unexpected, perhaps, would make the composition a bit more likable for me.
Overall, a lovely scent with good staying power and definitely recommended to those who enjoy cola notes and sweet, almond-y scents.

Sorry, not my can of cola.





it turned into sth like....sweat?
this note known from Kingdom.
SOMETHING like old benzin.
heavy and heavier - not mine but very original

Now it seems we wont part for a longer time! I love it, this was an oriental vanilla I was looking for, original, sweet, but at he same time somehow dangerous, intoxicating. It is certainly called a poison for a reason:)
It is very long lasting as well, which I appreciate a lot, sicne most fragrances do not last long on me.
"It smells like old books and antique furniture, embroidered with vanilla and some cigarette smoke."
On me it is too heavy and smoky. Given the fact that I rarely smoke, it stifles me as if I'm in a smoking compartment. Yet, the vanilla gives the expected sweetness and depth. Despite the presence of enticing fruit notes I hardly catch notes of anything else except for vanilla and smoke. Sorry, it is not my scent.
It has to be tried on skin before purchasing because the appealing berry-like bottle may not provide you the expected fragrance.



Soft vanilla and almond ,with coconut and wet-wood undertones. It blends with the skin so beautifully...
A dark and at the same time tender scent..Definetely a seductive one!



But I having problem with describing it, what does it really smell like? Good! Really good! When I think about it I belive it develops like shaving foam... first it is a small white dollop (?) and then it starts growing to a big, white creamy cloud bursting with heavenly fragrance. Creamy, cherry, almondy and with an pleasant edge too... And I havn´t mentioned that it drives my husband wild, he even tried it yesterday evening and this morning he still smells from it, in a discrete, papery, vanilla way... On him it develop in a different way, becoming much more musky and not so sweet.
This is going to be one of that fragrances that I always want a bottle of. I would actually like to try to put so much on that I get hypnotised, I wonder what will happen then?
Really, you have to try it.
Try it/ Just do it! :)


It is best in the winter, as others have said, and I can see how some may smell root beer. I actually hate root beer and the smell of it. However, root beer smells synthetic and cheap to me. Hypnotic Poison does not. That's the only way I know to explain it. I love it! :)





The only one Poison I am up for is Pure Poison.



I quite like this one better than the original poison.
However this isnt for anyone looking for a fresh clean scent
The warm vanilla notes with musk and hint of rose notes sits well on most skin and has excellent staying power.

it really class and vanilla scent... but i don't fall in love...

Alluring perfume, a real men-bait.


Well, that day came a couple of weeks ago. I was with a male friend, spritzed on HP while shopping, and he could not stop sniffing me. He said it was like a drug to him that "tingled the back of his neck". I also got several more compliments from men, so I thought - hmm. Well, later that night, I caught a whiff of something incredibly sexy, then realized it was the Hypnotic Poison. It had blended so well with my skin, that it just became a part of me, rather than an obvious "perfume" smell. Immediately went online, found a bottle at a great price, and can't wait to wear it!
The probe for the first time a few months ago and since then I can not stop thinking about having it with me.
Sometimes I think about not buy it because it could be a very strong smell, but it's so delicious that was soon to the purchases, besides its low notes are more soft and sensual, very very sexy.
But I do not wear in a big party, but only to be sexy and attract someone.
I think there are fragrances much more sophisticated than a party to this, this is rather a hypnotic fragrance to seduce.


Anyway... try it before you buy it, cause for some people turns to be really "heavy".


It is not sexy or sophisticated.
It smells just like the hard rootbeer candy my grandmother used to keep in the candy jar.
If foody fragrances are you thing, then you may be in for a treat.
Years later, my experience with is has taken a total turn.
It is one of my favorite perfume.
I really have to say that this creation is really way ahead of its time....


Hypnotic Poison is sweet, mysterious, warm, enveloping & sexy at the same time. It's a vanilla almond fragrance that is perfect for cool Winter days.
The Bitter Almond gives it an "edge" which I guess puts some people off, whilst luring others. It wears well, softening as the day goes on.
Make sure you experiment with small amounts first. I find the Dior 'Poison' range of bottles perfect as you have complete control over how much you spray. The nozzle will do a small drip, or a full spray. I use a small drizzle from each wrist to inside of the elbow.
Once you find the right amount for you, you will love it.



It is a powerful and long-lasting scent, wrapped in a wonderfully tempting apple-like bottle.
I would recommend actually trying this scent on the skin, as it certainly does not suit everybody!
