I like vanilla fragrances too.
But this... this is diffrent from any vanilla fragrance that exists on the market. I abstain for further comments. I only have one advice for anyone who thinks about geting this:


DO NOT BUY IT UNSNIFFED !!!

If you're looking for a fragrance that has a dominant note of vanilla, Hypnotic Poison would be your best choice. The vanilla in this perfume is rich, foody and realistic, just like you've rubbed vanilla essence onto your skin.

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.

i am a vanilla sweet LOVER
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!

My favorite, ever!

I caught this on someone else just yesterday- this stuff is really screaming for attention. But yesterday I did not know that it was Hypnotic Poison, because it smelled like Avon's Vanilla and something lotion I had and liked to layer with sweet perfumes. I wondered all the time if lotion can smell so intense.
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.

Really, 2many women wear Hypnotic Poison but I still love it. It was a gift and I'm happy to have this perfume.
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!
05/28/09 16:34:39
 
I like Hypnotic Poison, it is a very unique scent, but the opening notes are really sharp on my skin and the drydown is boring. I am not a vanilla lover, but I recommend this as one of the best vanilla scents. This one is a classic in my opinion.
05/26/09 12:11:03
Hypnotic Poison has quickly become a favorite of mine! It has the perfect mixture of vanilla. For some reason I have a thing for vanillas that smell a bit like sweet playdoh(but better of course). Hypnotic and Kenzo Amour satisfy that odd fetish for me.

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!
05/26/09 11:08:04
 
I had this purfume quite a few years ago and loved it. However i have changed my mind now as i find it too "heady"
05/22/09 07:22:23
 
One of my favorites!It´s perfect for my skin.sweet,feminine,mysterous and very sexy.Great to wear in cold weather and in the evening.
I will allways hold on to this!

I share a very strange relation with Hypnotic Poison (we even share the same initials, HP...). Not a love or hate relation, more like a lover-stranger one. First, my mom used to wear the mother of HP, Poison. It smelled delightful on her and awful on me. I was waiting for my hour (since I was maybe too young to wear Poison) when Hypnotic Poison was released.

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!
05/13/09 06:06:01
It's my favourite perfume, it's very sexy and long lasting, with my favourite consistences: vanilla, almond and coconut. It's very warm, but not too sweet. Men adore this scent!!!

Very nice scent in moderation as it's incredibly sweet, strong and distinctive. I always think how nice the various Poison perfumes are on other people, but tend to wish they wouldn't go beyond one spray as they can smell noxious in excess(hence the name?)
05/05/09 16:01:52
wish i could enjoy this fragrance.i love oriental vanilla but i can t love this one coz of the proeminent coconut smell
:(,i can t stand it.besides this it s a lovely scent,long lasting,the bottle looks nice,vanilla smells delighfull.such a pitty,coconut mixed with vanilla is a disaster for my nose.but i won t give up,i will try it in the near future again.
05/04/09 12:01:38
I can envision a full lipped, womanly seductress wearing this. It is strong and quiet, like her, and it is seducing. Yes, it somewhat smells like a root beer float, like cold root beer topped with french vanilla ice cream, but that's fine by me, because it smells good and sexy! Maybe if I wear it, I will turn into Monica Bellucci... probably not...
05/04/09 11:52:49
My relationship with Hypnotic Poison is a love-hate one and I have yet to purchase a full bottle for this reason. The first time I tested it, I adored it, though the scent seemed to disappear from the strip rather quickly. On my skin, however, it lasts for ages. My boyfriend, on the other hand, detested it immensely, claiming that it smelled of his great grandmother's Polident. I, myself, am not familiar with the stuff and found no association between the perfume and any sort of mouth product, but he later claimed to have recognized a root beer accord which brought to mind the smell of the denture stuff. Turns out, he likes it after all. Imagine my hesitation in wearing something that he first claimed to smell of an old woman's teeth, no matter the fact that he rescinded the comment. Hmmph!

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.
05/04/09 11:32:38
 
A great heavy oriental scent which we men, love on women. It smells like almond, vanilla and rose, which makes it classic and original. Still, not at all suitable for daytime wear or summer wear.
04/26/09 15:13:32
 
i tried hypnotic poison after loving midnight poison. my positive observations are that it has a great name, commendable staying power and feels very intimate because it remains close to the skin. unfortunately, i think the coconut note overpowers and cheapens the aroma. (and i usually love coconut). i think that hypnotic poison would be a good choice for a younger woman or for someone who requires a lot of sweetness in their perfume. i prefer midnight poison by far.
04/17/09 11:43:09
When I first tested it I thought that it was too cheap and just terrible sweet. After some months I decided to give it another smell...well, this time it was like heaven to me! It is so erotic, warm and sweet! It is now my new signature perfume! I absolutely love it! And it stays for hours and hours! A real poisoning scent!
04/13/09 10:45:51
I adore vanilla scent. But here the vanilla is too aggressive and coarse to me. Absolutely poisonous. On my skin no development.
Sorry, not my can of cola.
04/12/09 11:07:13
I tried this on a tester strip and hated it, it smelled awful. Today I sprayed it on my skin. Mmm...how the tables have turned! I have been looking for a vanilla perfume: L lolita was way too sweet, Fancy was too little girl, and now I have come to hypnotic. I do sense a slightly play-doh-ish edge to it at first, but 2 hours later I am smelling this lovely vanilla with some spice intertwining, it is definitely not an everyday perfume. Hypnotic is sweet but distinct. The spices along with almond balance the vanilla so you aren't walking around like a cookie. Wonderful, but if you try spray it on your skin to see how it will develop with your chemistry, not on a tester strip!!
04/07/09 17:40:08
This one to get you noticed. It has magnificent silage and staying power. So test on a strip first! I love the carraway, almondy vanilla notes, it gives it a twist that sets it apart from other gourmands. It is quite intoxicating, but could be too strong for some. Its one of those fragrances that lingers in the lift after the woman has walked out, people may enquire after it or pull a face in disgust! I don't care for any of the other Poison range, but this one really hits the spot for me when I crave a power scent.
04/05/09 07:18:03
My least favorite "Poison", "Hypnotic" features a touch too much vanilla for my tastes, and it seems to clash with one of the other notes (I'm thinking the wood notes) and creates a medicine-y smell that is not appealing on me.
03/29/09 19:47:35
The warm vanilla smell is beautiful but its that slight smell of play doh that stops me from buying a bottle. Plus it is a winter scent and we are going in to April
03/29/09 15:07:01
I love it!! very warm and sexy, mysterious... goes for almost every age..
03/29/09 10:17:06
I have a new love! I have been putting off trying any of the "Poison" line since I do not care for the original Poison, but I got a sample of this from a friend. WOW! I love it! So rich and dreamy-creamy. Sultry vanilla almonds smoked with a hint of spicy musk is the best way I can describe it. This is the first one my hubby said "Yup...BUY IT!" after he sniffed my wrist. I MUST HAVE THIS!
03/28/09 19:23:32
really interesting! creamy, vanilla and oriental - the beginning I loved the most, but later, on my skin, tragedy, horror..
it turned into sth like....sweat?
this note known from Kingdom.
SOMETHING like old benzin.
heavy and heavier - not mine but very original
03/21/09 07:33:07
When I first sprayed it on my wrist a couple of years ago I hated it, it made me think of hot plastic sprinkled with a mixture of exotic spice. But back then I diodnt like any of the poisons... Then I grew ti like Pure Poison, Midnight Poisnon, and I decided to give this one a chance as well.

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.
03/03/09 02:19:36
 
My opinion completely concurs with that of XSX:
"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.
02/28/09 14:33:24
 
I adore Hypnotic Poison!!! I bought it in Harrods when it just had come out and was approached by a sales assistant at the time in the store. Usually I avoid those occassions, but I just got a hind of it when passing and I was totally sold! I only wear it when I go out and each time I get asked what I wear. It's so beautiful and sensious. It makes me feel very feminine & sexy and as it seems wanted!! But yes, it is an evening one. For day-time I wear Yves Saint Laurent's Rive Gauche. My all time favourite ones!
02/19/09 14:48:10
Such a beautiful perfume. I had it on for approximately 3 minutes and had two compliments. It smells delicious. Like you can eat it. I personally don't think it's an everyday scent, because it is sweet and strong (don't put too much on). When you do wear it, enjoy every minute. Just the other day, I was in a restaurant and the server wanted to know what I was wearing. She was so impressed, she wrote down the name and asked where she could purchase it. So, it definitely grabs attention.
02/01/09 08:39:32
When first spritzed it's not very attractive, but after a while..MMM!
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!
01/31/09 06:31:19
I am besotted with this opulent scent! I wore Hypnotic many years ago and even went through a whole bottle, which is amazing for me. I stopped wearing it because we wore each other out, but then I smelt it earlier this year, and while I still loved it, it was too memory-laden for me. It’s also just too beautiful though, so now we’re back together again to create new memories! First on, it is a wee bit strong and a little fruity somehow. But mostly I smell the bitter almond, which is delectable and I can smell the caraway too, which sometimes smells a little like red licorice. Gradually the vanilla, jasmine and musk, and softest woods come through and it softens into a lavishly smooth, sleek and sensual haze, which I find completely mesmerising! It’s not a thing like the original Poison and unlike any other scent I know of (Hugo Boss Deep Red is reminiscent, but lacks the deepness of Hypnotic). If I sniff very hard I get a slight weedy note from the caraway, and maybe even a smidgen of PlayDoh, but not enough to bother me and those aren’t the scents that drift into the air about me. I’m surprised that I don’t find it heavy on me and a bit sad that it doesn’t seem to last very long - maybe a couple of hours or so - but people seem to smell it when they’re near me and when my man sat next to me last night, he began to sniff neck and said, “Mmmmm. Ooh!! What IS that?” He said he finds it very sexy and sophisticated. Well! I think I like that reaction!! I love the red bottle too, it’s absolutely gorgeous. I’m glad we found each other again. To me, Hypnotic Poison is thoroughly evocative and utterly divine.

After long time of struggling, and after I had such a painful desire to have this again I bought this. This is a weird one in my collection. On some days it can be really potent, almost unbearable, cumin-y, spicy, masculine, weird. On other days, or rather evenings, it has almost no sillage, but it develops to the most wonderful warm vanilla ever. As all Poisons, it has that "dusty, old book-ish", but elegant edge to me too. They use maybe a special base note to all of the Poisons, maybe a synthetic musky accord, dunno. I like that note. It is a sad, sensual, dry-sweet almond/vanilla with a good piece of dust from book shelves, and this all goes excellent with beige-ish, oily skin types. Don't know why, but I could imagine this scent on a man, too. Probably because the spices in this. A must-have.
01/10/09 02:45:25
Maybe it´s a good thing that rootbeer isn´t that common in Sweden, even tough I have tasted it once or twice. Not enough to associate this fragrance with it at least. Well, I simple love it! Tested it for the first time during a visit to Stockholm in the autumn and it was pretty much love at first sniff. Or actually my daughter tested it, and I could stop smelling her wrist! :)

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! :)
01/10/09 00:52:46
Hypnotic poison was one of the first yummy more expensive perfumes I bought. I think it like a very creamy vanilla latte at first. The pepper and vanilla just pop when you first spray it. Then it dries down to a soft but powerful vanilla musk. There is such a dark, sexy and daring fragrance. This is like a concentrated valuable serum that should be saved and used sparingly. I think it would have been awsome in a bottle with a dabbor because you would want to apply it behind the ears or..other areas ;) I never spray it all over because you dont have to.
01/09/09 09:44:41
This is my favorite of all the Poisons, although Pure Poison is a close second. It wears close to my skin and embraces me in warm cherry, vanilla, and almond notes. Definitely one of the most unique scents in my collection, and I agree that it was way ahead of its time.

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! :)
01/05/09 07:04:22
I will never get tired of this warm and seductive scent! I find the vanilla and almond combination extremely alluring, especially in cold weather. "Hypnotic" is the perfect name for this gorgeous velvety fragrance!
12/16/08 10:05:18
This is very nice perfume, my kind of perfume – sweet, a bit spicy, warm, and sexy. It reminds of Kenzo Amour.
12/16/08 09:21:30
This one dries down rapidly to vanilla/sandalwood on me. There is very little progression from start to finish. It's nice and will work for many people, but it has so little variation and depth that it is, in the end, uninteresting.
12/14/08 13:05:43
This scent is as proud, sweet vanilla dessert, so thick, that it is possible to cut it knife and ...eat. It's also very sweet, sensual aroma, with wonderful sound accent of bitter almond. It is literal, strong, but, when is cold and grey, it warm and correct mood. In priciple, it is not my type, but now I have big appetite for this sensational dessert, for very sweet poison, for mass sweet wanilla, for Hypnotic Poison.
12/07/08 10:21:22
I have noticed the play-doh note, but it does fade in the dry down. It is a unique scent for someone looking for something different. I like it, am just getting to know it, and was very suprised that it is a poison "cousin". I wore the original Poison in the 90's and don't smell much in common with Hypnotic... It is an unusual scent that should be tried on the skin before buying, I would give it 3 and 1/2 stars.
12/03/08 06:33:44
Funny... this fragrance to me is just "dusty". It smells like old books and antique furniture, embroidered with vanilla and some cigarette smoke. Although it is not unpleasant, I wouldn't use it as MY fragrance, because of my age and temperament.
The only one Poison I am up for is Pure Poison.
12/02/08 11:48:54
Hypnotic poison i a bit difficult to understand. I loved the eccentric scent in the store, but at home I don't really get it to work on my skin. I think it's the bitter almond together with the vanilla that makes it smell a bit like a common Swedish icecream with liquorice-vanilla taste. At least it makes me think about that. In general I don't like fragrances that reminds me of food and this is no exception from that. On the contrary - I usually like vanilla, musk, almond and jasmine. Thats what confuses me. Anyway, maybe Im just used to wear floral fragrances and I have to give this pretty bottle a fair chance. Lets wait for the drydown and see what happens. Seems to be longlasting though... but in my case I'm not sure if that is a good or bad thing.
11/28/08 16:56:45
I really love the smell but I never buyed it because I intuit that I could soon get tired of it.
11/27/08 07:52:32
This is such a delightful scent.
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.
11/11/08 18:28:57
i like it ! vanilla and almond ! really scent "happy", ideal for spring ;)
it really class and vanilla scent... but i don't fall in love...
11/10/08 18:30:28
This is almonds, vanilla and sugar powder. Delicious, warm and cozy, light and festive.
Alluring perfume, a real men-bait.

This fragrance is way to strong for me gives me a headache but i think its 2nice 2 give it a miss so i wear the very luxurous body lotion...my husband thinks its v sexy!
10/24/08 08:49:38
Though I liked it, there was a weird note in it that bothered me.Now I know what it is, thanks to Woogyjones50 - play dough! I smelled my son`s play dough - there it is.I wore it mostly at home,trying to make friends with it.
10/20/08 20:29:50
 
such a verrryyy special perfume,,, i always have it home,,, cause sometimes ,, i really feel that i want to wear something really sexy!!!!!
10/13/08 10:12:42
I've been trying this perfume off and on for about a year, hoping to like it, but all I was getting was root beer, nothing else. However, something about it always intrigued me, and I was hoping one day it would click...

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!
10/12/08 09:33:50
 
A mystical fragrance, sensual, intense and really appealing.
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.
10/10/08 09:35:21
 
My favorite. The duo almond-vanilla is a powerful weapon when you want to seduce someone. It is a must have.
09/28/08 08:32:18
At first,it can be too strong and sweet,but after, when it calms down on skin it's beautiful.Smells like vanilla cookies with almond,makes me to take a hot cappuccino.A great fragrance,so warm,ideal for winter days.Wouldn't recomande it to women who don't like to smell like cookies.
09/28/08 07:43:42
This is my favourite perfume. It's absolutly classy, and everytime I wear it, the scent stays in the enviroment. I love it!

Anyway... try it before you buy it, cause for some people turns to be really "heavy".
09/22/08 06:36:06
 
I'm not a big fan of vanilla notes, but this one is lovely, mixed with almond, becomes perfect. One of my favorites for winter. Sensual, warm, sexy.
09/22/08 05:50:40
 
I don't like it because I don't like vanilla at all. I prefer flowery and oriental woody fragrances.
09/20/08 10:43:08
 
my favorite i bought a bottle and i will go to buy it again its smells like a nice flower playing with the wind :)
09/20/08 10:33:32
 
This perfume is addictive. It is sensual, warm, and a definite must have for a woman that wants to hypnotize the opposite sex..Men love it!!
09/20/08 01:53:18
When it comes to dior poisons :P I like this poison most, maybe because i like to sense lots of vanilla..? nevertheless its simply perfect
09/20/08 01:32:20
The right word is hypnotic!There is A LOT of vanilla in this perfume-perfect for the winter.It's very long-lasting and a bit too strong for me but if I spray once it's OK.Hypnotic poison is a wonderful perfume for cold days and evenings,but it's not for every day.
09/20/08 00:36:52
 
It was love from first sniff, I smell and "taste" bitterness. I used it 3 times since 1998. Unique as Poison the first.

Very gorgeous & rich of vanilla.Just LOVE it
09/19/08 20:29:27
 
i like this smell, but i cant imagine myself wearing it any time, its more for winter but its just a good smell, as a perfume its a bit forced.
08/09/08 10:47:13
I think that this fragrance is highly over rated.
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.
08/09/08 08:46:48
 
When I first came across it way back in the late nineties, we were all horrified as it really caught us off-guard at that time.

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....
07/18/08 04:23:14
 
I love this perfume - it's one of my favourite Fall/Winter scents.... At first, this smells like caramels and spruce beer (does anyone remember that stuff?) to me -and, strange as it seems, I love that combo. It's too heavy for humid summer weather, I find. Maybe that's why some people feel nauseated when they first put it on? One trick to try for those who love the mid and base notes, but feel sickened by the top notes: try spraying it on the inside of your blouse or shirt before taking your shower - spritz and run! (be sure not to spray it too close to the fabric because if it's white, you could end up with a stain)Then, by the time you're done with your shower and taking care of the hair, it should be less overpowering to you.

One of those fragrances I would like to have again. Seductive and hypnotique, as described by its name. Beautiful. Sexy. Determined.

I read so much about Hypnotic Poison that I had to try it. When testing, I over applied & then wrote it off thinking it was awful. A few months later I saw HP at a really good price that I decided to try again. I'm glad I did as I now love it!

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.

This scent contains warm elements that I like, but unfortunately, when it is first applied, it makes me feel quite ill in the stomach! When it settles it is lovely, but I definitely won't purchase this one. There is one other perfume that brings out exactly the same nausea reaction in me.....Drakkar Noir!

I could roll in this stuff for days! On my skin, it smells like a rootbeer float made with real vanilla bean ice cream, at first spritz. Then after a hour or two, I can smell something a little bit masculine in it, and then sometimes I get a whiff of Play-Doh. It smells good on paper too, although it smells more like cedarwood and sandalwood mixed with vanilla bean.

its very sweet, not bad but not for everyday wearing, its more like a night fragrance.

I wear this scent every day, either by itself, or as a base under another perfume. It provides a warm and captivating scent with strong elements of vanilla, musk and almond.

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!
