Hypnotic Poison by Dior

Valt

Gorgeous fragrance.

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

Dark Curls

I am still on my soapbox but it is also real annoying when ladies say a certain perfume SHOULDN'T be worn by a woman of this color or that complexion. I mean, come on! I know everyone's chemistry is different but that doesn't need to be said. Ok I am done. :)

Dark Curls

I agree, this should be all about the fragrances, not a person's sex or sexuality! People should be less biased and closed minded about others. Anyway, LOVE Hypnotic Poison! Sexy sexy scent!!!

Gourgeousgourmandgirl:
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;)

taydev

what an ignorant comment gorgeousgourma...whatever the rest of your name says. Can we get back to discussing the actual fragrances instead of bashing its wearers, whether male or female. thank you.

APassionateJourney

I'll tell you what's wrong wih this world today. People like you, GorgeousGourmand. NOT gender benders or men wearing perfumes.

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!

poison

Hei I wear Hypnotic poison too, and i'm a guy! So there is nothing wrong with you! Don't worry! In my opinion there is no male or female fragrances, THEY ARE ALL UNISEX! Bye!!!

Jonni51

Thank you very much!
Good to see im not the only one:)
And yes, they both smell very nice on women also!

jae

To the reviewer below:

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.

Jonni51

I absolutely adore this!
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?

VelvetGrave

Cute bottle but it's scent doesn't work for me. It just smells cheap and vulgar in my skin - too sweet and plastic.

Dark Curls

haha great review! I love to wear both black orchid and HP..I guess I have a bit of a witchy side to me. *_* Ya'll should try midnight poison!!

cinsot

I agree with Soulsong, Hypnotic Poison smells friendly, warm and inviting in the same way that Hertha (Earth Goddess) tricks you into believing that She too is all of the above on a clear, sunny and warm day.

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.

soulsong

I think what threw me about this perfume was the name. It's neither hypnotic,nor mesmerizing. Poison sounds like a strong statement too. Risky business and "le Belle Dame sans merci" effect. But it is not that at all. It's warm and comforting almond and creamy vanilla. I do like it. It's friendly. But I wish I found a perfume to mesmerize me like that poor knight.

zvoncica

Hypnotic Poison is the most beautiful oriental vanilla scent. More precisely, Hypnotic is the most beautiful scent with dominant vanilla note. Hypnotic is the sexiest scent created by human hand. And the only scent which every woman should have in her collection.

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!

little Cinderella

Oh my God! I’m soooo in love with this perfume! My favorite definitely! 10/10

rotorres

This was my very favorite perfume until I got my hands on Pure poison.I still like and wear this occasionally but I am in LOVE with the Pure. Does anybody else smell play-do? It's only there when you first spray it. The play-do "note" doesn't bother me at all, it actually reminds of childhood, and that's a good thing.

MandyCat

If the evil gods of scent told me that I had to pick a signature perfume or otherwise lose my olfactory senses, I'd pick Hypnotic Poison quickly. It's just the most perfect scent to my nose. It's comforting, intoxicating, seductive, casual, non-offensive, clean even. I simply love it. I'm on my 7th bottle and I always buy the 3.4oz.If you love this perfume I suggest indulging yourself with a bottle of the lotion too, it's divine~!

mean_kitty

Truly poison! Warm, intoxicating, wonderful! Each drop is an unforgettable experience. Sweet, but not to much, a little woody, perfect to make you feel sexy.

bloodflower

i've been trying this for quite some time because i want to love it so much, i hear people talking about its smokiness, the almond, the rose, the coconut, the vanilla and i think it will be heaven for me but no, on me it's like plastic paint smell, like the colors in tube we used on high school painting classes, so sad :(

karlee79

reminds me of cigars and smoking pipes, mixed with chocolate and cherries. Warmth like elixer.

poison

Oh my God I am in love with Hypnotic Poison! Annick Menardo deserves a big prize for this one! The eau de toillete is so beautifull, so pure and romantic...From this one i like very much the base notes...the heat makes this smell so unique! My boyfriend goes crazy every time i wear Hypnotic Poison! I bought the elixir too, and is very nice, it is like a cake.. you'll want to eat it or to drink it..Even now, after almost an year after i finished the elixir the bottle smells heavenly! Thank you Annick for this Paradise scent!

glitterz664

It sexy & yummy!!!! first you'll smell like a cup cake hahah that's funny right? but it's last longer and smell really unique, nice!! I'll give it 10/10

moonwalker

For me this perfume can be described in two words: vanilla and powder... It´s up to you (and me) whether you like or don´t this combination... Personally I cannot decide... I live in a country where winter is very cold and summer is very hot and I can´t imagine wearing this in summer... very intense and warm scent, very sensual indeed. I guess I like it after all.

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

Cyndyava

I love Dior for its overall consistancy of good smells. I wore Hypnotic Poison in the decadent 90's and it was just perfect for that time in my life...living single in downtown nyc..."I love the nightlife, I love to boogie!" Men everywhere complimented me on this scent and several noted it as "feminine" and "sexy." I can see the "PlayDo" reference now, but never thought of that before reading the reviews. However, it makes sense, in a really good way. I think I'll purchase this again at a different stage of my life...Not quite feeling up to it at this stage...Hee, hee!

LenaBel

I have already written review here but just regarding the playdough:

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.

electric.eyes

i absolutely love this!!!
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!

michele23

I dont smell playdough either.Just a BEAUTIFUL FRAGRANCE.I cant say enough about this wonderful scent.Love it!!

guest_Whatever!

I finally sniffed this and Pure and Midnight and none of the 3 impressed me,I will stick with the original it's the best one.

jonr951

I dont get playdough at all either. Thats a good thing I guess cuz I dont think Id enjoy it as much as I do if it ended up smelling like playdough. lol.

mandashell

YEs Johnr951, I really adore this scent!! ;'D Not heavy to my nose at all. Maybe if it were an Edp it could be heavy but in the EDt form it is just right. Lasting power, as expected, is excellent. I plan to wear this all year round. And you know what? I don't smell the playdough scent at all on my skin...? o.0

jonr951

Isnt it great MANDASHELL!!! I absolutely luv it too! U got it for such a great price! Congrats!! : )

mandashell

Mentioned in an earlier review that this smells a lot like Rootbeer and well it does. Although the composition is clearly more complex than that. ;') Really love this scent it is warm, smooth, slightly spicy yet very comforting and warm. Many have complained about it being a heavy scent but on my skin it is just right. Could actually get away with wearing this in the summer. Purchased a 3.4oz bottle for $49.99 from an ebay seller and yes it is the real thing.

water lily

This is really a hypnotic poison with his devilish creaminess.It`s like to succumb to temptation only by a irresistible smell of a soft almond cake.

ktv0926

I used to get sick and overwhelmed just imagining the smell of Hypnotic Poison. I couldn't even think of being anywhere close to this fragrance, as it gave me an instant headache.

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!

Jura-kg

fantastic,unique,warm,sweet,powerful.nice for winter days,especialy when it mix with the body lotion that comes with it.it's so luxurios.

ChemistRhi

This is my most special scent.... love it.

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)

guest_

This has to be the most sexy perfume ever. It's just so alluring i almost cant describe.. The first time i smelled it was from the spritzer on a tester bottle and it was a bit strange, because i actually did not know what to think. but when i got it home a few days later and smelled it again i was overwhelmed by it! What an amazingly sexy and beautiful scent. Oh my gosh! And the funny thing is i just had to smell it over and over again, and for each time i fell more and more in love. Its simply beautiful. I dont think i have anything else to say, its just beautifull in all the aspects of it. It smells sweet and warm. very very passionate. In the beginning it smells like a really nice blend of all the ingridients. espescially vanilla,coconut,apricot,spices and almond. But when it has settled down, i mostly smell spices on me. But it is a beautiful mix of spices.
Simply amazing scent..

suzywoo

I'm surprised no one has mentioned that after the dry down it smells EXACTLY like playdough, lol. Although I like the smell of playdough (on playdough).
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.

CherryLou

Very warm, sweet, inviting, sugary, vanilla fragrance for autumn and winter use. I could describe Hypnotic Poison as a soft fragrance but sure it has potential of becoming overpowering by it's sweetness if overdozed. A perfume easy to like. I find it more cozy than sexy.

vioversilver

For starters this is not your typical "sexy" perfume in my opinion; the ads for Hypnotic seem to promise some kind of intense erotic potion to be contained in the little poison apple shaped bottle, for me this is not that kind of perfume - it's a comfortable in your own skin sexy, not really overtly va-voom sexy..

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.

The Perfume Critic

This is a very interesting and unusual perfume. To me it smells like autumn leaves and vanilla. Gorgeous :)

Dark Curls

WOW i finally got my samples today. this is one sexy perfume!!!! I shall wear this tonight for new year's eve. It is indescribable...

nezzabel

OMG! I died and went to Heaven! This perfume is superb!

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!

Dark Curls

I often will try a body lotion 1st before I buy a bottlel I did this with the Hanae Mori Magical Moon and was successful. I may try the lotion for Hypnotic Poison 1st if there is one.

Dark Curls

Ooo this sounds like something I will like! I love vanilla and am very fond of almond. warm, musk, oriental and spicy scents go well with my chemistry. Perhaps I should order a bottle of this!

danimcneil

Hypnotic Poison is so seductive. I FINALLY got my bottle yesterday. I am a vanilla lover, and this does not dissapoint!A HYPNOTIC blend of vanilla, almond, and coconut. Thats what smells most prominent on me. My man loves this one! I also read somewhere that some people can sense a slightly metalic note in this, which i can also sense and love. It makes it interesting. This scent does last forever on my skin, but i do have one issue, there is NO SILLIAGE! Does anyone else have this issue? Or is it just a scent that i can't sense on myself? I'm wondering of i got a different version cuz my bottle has a timy bit of black on the very botton of the bottle. IDK... I do like the scent. Maybe i need to get the elixir. What are the main difference there? And where can the elixir be purchased?

APassionateJourney

Hypnotic Poison and Glow by J.LO are the longest lasting EDTs EVER! This one probably being #1. I sprayed this on last night around 11:00 p.m. here it is 10:47 the next day and it's STILL on me! Even after a shower! Wow! This does smell like root beer, but a creamy root beer float. It then goes on to smell like a grown up Vanillaish smell. I just can't stop smelling my wrists. The end of the scent is an Almondy Vanilla mixture. A small spray of it lasts forever. I couldn't believe this was an EDT. One of my new favorites!

eranaral

The almond and vanilla stand out. Its more of a sweet scent, but not teen fruity/candy sweet. Very long lasting power. 5-8 hours on skin, longer on clothing.

LenaBel

This one is my most recent purchase. It is so cold where I live and this perfume definetely warms me up. I spray it on my scarf and it last for almost a week. It lasts long on the skin too.
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.

DevilsAngel

I absolutely love this. It smells so good and I have been wearing it since it first came out in Australia. All my past boyfriends have loved it and think it smells sexy and so does my now partner. Whenever I wear it they couldn't keep themselves away. I have made this smell my own. Everybody knows me for it. I have tried the others but this is still only choice of Poison.

chanteuse

Usually, I love Dior but whenever I smell this one I'm always reminded of the day I left the vanilla ice-cream out of the fridge. The next day, all I could smell was some kind of poisoned bug spray. Some of my friends wear it and it is no different. Dislike by association, perhaps?

soniamcalear

I can't stand this stuff! To me it reminds me of the rest stop bathrooms! Almost like pine sol and vanilla! I bought a bottle without having smelled it and almost threw up after putting it on so I quickly sold it on Amazon as fast as I could-thank God someone like this stuff or I would have been stuck with it!

Nicole79

The first time I tryed HP years ago...I was mesmerized...wow...what a sexy, dark, femme fatale perfume !!! I wanted it !!! and i got it...well...after a while of using it...not much and only in the evening...it was like I couldn't stand it anymore...too heavy and nauseating...i started to feel it too sweet... rotten ...kind of......!!!;(....I don't think i will repurchase another bottle ;(

guest_Diana

oh heavenly treat; absolutely love it; would wear it everyday; all the time; i'm long overdue to purchase my next bottle; a bit exepnsive for my pockets but it defenetly worth every penny

carol.octa

Ohhhhhhhh! This is what I call a sexy potion. It is the true eye-catcher perfume! This fragrance is not too sweet. For me, it has an exotic and comfortable smell too. I really appreciate this. I can say this is one of my favorite perfume ever. If you want to feel powerful and sexy, go for it!! Believe in me: men love hypnotic poison!!!!

rainydays

I spritzed this onto a card and got the distinct smell of rootbeer (I see that I'm not the only person that got that impression). It was actually sort of a fun, warm smell, so I put it on. What a disappointment! It was so overpowering, and that wouldn't have been too bad, except that it smelled like something burning. Like a weird chemical spill. After a few minutes it was just revolting and made me a little sick. Too bad... I really wanted to like this one.

Adriana_87

Extremly sexy,gives you a sexy-boost!Smokey-coconut/vanilla mix,no need to explain..For true women only,i LOVE this little bottle of poison.Well i generally love Dior..

azuriiita

Sincerely: If you want to be really, depply begrudged by others women, especially any "friends"... you must try this fragrance jejejejeje.

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.

bhean_sidhe

For me it has never been a "sexy" smell, rather a soft, comforting one. I like wearing it when I feel lonely and need a hug, it helps me to relax and feel better.

juliamarchwicka

This was the first fraagrance I became obsessed with.

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.

tuberose_and _sand

Hmmm, I tried it on during the past few days, although I have been avoiding it forever...I was prejudiced I guess and always associated it with something heavy, the kind a more mature lady would wear (btw, I'm 25). But, it was a surprise...a pleasant one. There is something immensely wistful about this fragrance, it's very haunting and has the power to evoke some strong emotions. Upon trying it on, I ended up considering it the love child between Dune and Dior Addict: it has the strong, sensuous vanilla from Addict; and the bitter, haunting notes that I find in the drydown of Dune. It wraps around me, not letting me go for hours and hours and it projects absolutely beautifully. Dare I "commit" to a FB? I don't know yet...
Update:Well, Yes, today I purchased a full bottle!I find it absolutely divine.

sofiapap

This one stays on my TOPS.Ending my second bottle ,i go for my third, still wanting it the same as i first time i wore it...AMAZRD!!!
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!!!

krishka

Yes Martinispygirl, i agree with you...man are attracted to the fragrance like the bees are attracted to honey...it is Uber sexy more like feromon than a perfume!
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!

lafefe

I'm in the 10% that hates this fragrance Mellyhelly! Such a pity I've been surrounded by people wearing it! I've never told anyone that I can't stand their fragrance, but to those who wear this one! I don't even like Pure Poison but I can tolerate it and I definitely adore Midnight Poison, so let's just hope the following Poisons will be better and better!

Mellyhelly

This must be one of the most toxic smells in the world. Ok, it's not a terrible stink like would be the smell of a damp. Not at that level. When it came out I was so interested, still the first time a very quick SA sprayed me with this saying the same old jingle: "It's new, it's fresh and young! You'll like it!" I thought I was going to die for lack of oxygen. Like a punch that prevent you from breathing.
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.

Martinispygirl

I love this one! It's one of those scents that when I wear it men go crazy! I once had a man stop me and ask what I was wearing and when I said "Hypnotic Poison" he said "Well, I am hypnotized!" :)

guest_Jaelyn

This is the only perfume I have found that doesn't give my a headache.

Aalia

At very first there is some sour note, and it's cumbersome, but, comfortable, it fits into the compositon perfectly, it doesn't destroy the scent. The fragrance, on a whole, seems to be resinous, deep, and unique, like an exotic perfume oil. Hmm...it also feels a bit boozy, like sweet, aged whisky.
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...

cleo cupcake

Because I loathed the original Poison and didn't like the first few flankers it took me a while to try this one but I am glad to say it could not be more different from the others! It's fantastic! So warm and delicious I love the way it wafts around me all day. Perfect autumn and winter fragrance when you need something both comforting and sexy. Why they persist with the 'Poison' motif instead of giving these wildly different scents their own identity is a mystery.

soulflwr

This is one of the few perfumes that actually captured my attention at the very first sniff. It smells sooo good, it reminds me of licorice. I LOVE it! I'm not sure if I'm brave enough to wear it every day yet, but I will certainly make sure to savor it on special occasions.

cattywitch

oh this is such a lushious sweet sexy smell, that lingers behind as you walk. very intoxicating fragrance for me. always get loads of compliments when I wear this.

michelle23

I love how mysterious and alluring this scent is. Once it's sprayed, i become almost transfixed on it, or 'hypnotized' by its sinful yet comforting warmth. I just wish it didn't fade so fast!

taydev

i tried it for a second time and my opinion remains the same. my olfactive senses have found a new friend and im 100% hypnotised by this poison! has anyone tried the lotion that comes with it? i normally like to layer my perfumes with the lotions. oh and about my last post... it smells way better that d&g the one. how silly of me!

om

One winter day I put this perfume and went to office:)
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:)

taydev

I tried this on today and i like its warmth. the vanilla smells spectacular and nice for cool weather. is it just me or does anyone else think it smells similar to d&g's the one?

ESTM

this perfume except that is amazing is very special for me too.Because it was the first Christmas gift from my boyfriend.Hypnotic has a great feeling that gives you power and passion.My opinion is that Hypnotic Poison is one of the five greatest perfumes that Dior's collection has.

guest_chasethedream

I LOVE wearing this fragrance. At night after I take a shower...I put on the body lotion and spray every inch of my body with the perfume. It's like a second skin you step into. Warm and seductive it embraces you and scratches its nails down your back. I feel out of body and dangerous when I wear this. Like a wolf in sheeps clothing! I LOVE IT!

janerry_corpuz

while holding its bottle, I imagine myself as snow whites stepmother holding a poison.

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

jatzzie

I really love Dior's fragrances in general, for example Pure Poison,J'Adore and Miss Dior Cherie are some of the best perfumes I've had the chance to sniff.:)

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

Very sexy, sensual and a version for men would be welcomed. It is very well blended, you cannot isolate jasmine from rose, vanilla or woody notes. Strong, but not cloying. Sillage and projection are excellent and every girl/woman who wears this one attracts me. It is perfect for women in their 20s and 30s.

ChristyS

This one probably is a love it or hate it-fragrance for some. It´s has a somehow "smokey" vanilla to me, and also the almond comes out nicely.The lasting-power is incredible. I can´t wear it every day, but LOVE it on some days with colder weather or also for the night.I think it is one of the perfumes, where the amount you apply is really VERY important. Suggest to use it sparingly. Have been asked several time for my great perfume when I wear this.;)

DIOR ADDICT FRAISE AND HYPNOTIC POISON ARE MY BEST OF DIOR.I LIKE ORIENTAL SWEET FRAGRANCES AND THOSE TWO ARE EXACTLY WHAT I WANT.PERFECT FOR EVENING AND SPECIAL OCCASION.

lollipopsneeze

Hypnotic for me is just a must have! It fits into my comfort zone..I just recently bought my 3rd bottle since it's release..

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...

guest_parfumaddict

I own HYPNOTIC and it is to die for! The scent is so sweet, with musky, vanilla and almond scent, it leaves a beautiful lingering smell............
abit expensive but definatly worth every scent. My boss and two of my collegues own it YOU CANT GET ENOUGH

michele23

THIS IS THE BEST PERFUME EVER!!!!VERY SWEET AND SEXY.I CANT GET ENOUGH!I OWN ABOUT 25 DIFFERENT KINDS OF PERFUME AND HYPNOTIC POISON IS MY FAVORITE.LOVE IT,LOVE IT!

litldove7

Light, warm, yummy, and very very wearable. The top notes don't create an overly fruity aroma, to my surprise. To MY nose, it begins a little sharp (perhaps from the allspice), but it settles down VERY quickly, and I get a soft creamy vanilla, and lightly woodsy floral. And again, the floral notes don't last for very long. To me, the middle notes create a "paper-like" scent, but it's not unpleasant. I'm wondering if the rosewood has something to do with it. On my skin, I have a hard time finding the individual flowers, but it doesn't bother me because they blend well together. But the end notes...well...the end notes are to die for. I love the warm, cozy, and fairly "light" aroma of the mildly sweet vanilla, soft sandalwood, and delicious, almonds. It smells so rich and creamy, yet feels light(?). BUT despite how light it feels, it lasts ALL DAY (or night) on my skin. It's NOT as sweet as Flowerbomb, Princess, or Pink Sugar, but it's sweet enough to notice its luxurious quality. Chopard Casmir is like cashmere...but this is like fine-quality, mocha-colored silk---Light enough for warm days, but perfect for layering under an expensive sweater or coat during the colder months as well.

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.

HelloLovely27

BE WARNED!!
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!

LaLoLa

Mmm... I can mostly smell the woods, vanilla and in the summer heat, the jasmine becomes even more prominent. It's a boozy scent, but it's very nice and warm and on me, it's not cloying or anything like that.
If you like Disaronno Amaretto, you're gonna love this scent.

Russian

Hypnotic Poison or Hypnotic Vanilla?To me,this is a masterpice,a perfume that is suitable for persons who want attention,for women who are full of sex appeal and do want to show it!The notes I feel here,are the sweet-fruity ones,that remind me of vanilla - peach,plum,lily-of-the-valley and of course,coconut.I don't really think it's a love or hate scent.I don't love it,but I don't hate it either.It's just not my cup of tea,though I admit that in this red bottle is a dangerous doze of pure and elegant sex.

Maugli

The Fairy God Monther could have used that... cute and well meaning scent of a cosy patisserie: almonds, coconut and plum smoothly decending into vanilla. A definately recognizable and well made perfume.

Daria

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

missk

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.

HelloLovely27

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!

Trvevil

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.

Mim

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!

luz

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.

Amanda79

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!

sarahb

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"

morgataria

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!

Eau de moi

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!

Coco _Mademoiselle80

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!!!

guest_

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?)

falovalo

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...

Wristsniffer

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.

vdxl

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.

hollivomitsyou

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.

Jaquie

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!

Blue Jay

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.

Annie_D

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!!

verity

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.

Chatnoir

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.

mmizy

The warm vanilla smell is beautiful but its that slight smell of play doh that stops me from buying a mini bottle. It also smells like a creamy root beer flaot with the vanilla ice cream overloading the sides. You have to be in a particular mood to want to smell like this. I don't like it that much. Plus it is a winter scent and we are going in to April

Ninulia

I love it!! very warm and sexy, mysterious... goes for almost every age..

megannsmom

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!

finduillas

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

Migotka

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.

Nicky_PL

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.

Puck_12

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!

LuckysGirl

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.

alicektn

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!

VioletLily

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.

leonora84

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.

rebella

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! :)

mmsmlzgud546

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.

asilverfire614

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! :)

LadyJedi

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!

tessture

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.

Mitsouko

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.

Amythyst

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.

XSX

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.

mymlan

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.

Wundt

I really love the smell but I never buyed it because I intuit that I could soon get tired of it.

cognac

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.

scarlett5stam

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...

kiselina

This is almonds, vanilla and sugar powder. Delicious, warm and cozy, light and festive.
Alluring perfume, a real men-bait.

lolita82

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!

Malegria

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.

BlackAmberMoon

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!

luciagio88

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.

zMaya

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.

Mariantu

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".

sweet_joy

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.

dolita

my favorite i bought a bottle and i will go to buy it again its smells like a nice flower playing with the wind :)

proly

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!!

Leukothea

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

dizzi

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.

Sherihan

It was love from first sniff, I smell and "taste" bitterness. I used it 3 times since 1998. Unique as Poison the first.

amanda

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.

SweetSwinger

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.

benzippo

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....

scenthound

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.

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!
