Hypnotic Poison Eau Sensuelle Dior for women

I don't like the Hypnotic Poison, think it's nauseous.... But this Hypnotic Poison Eau Sensuelle it's FANTASTIC!!!! Loved it loved it loved it!! Classic Poison is a passion, Midnight Poison is great, Dior Pure Poison is OK. But this Eau Sensuelle was beyond my expectations. When it was launched, I thought UUGGHH, but then I tried it in a perfume shop and... I HAD to buy it. Really sensual, powerful, I almost get hypnotized by it!

This is basically a lighter, softer version of Hypnotic Poison. It’s much more floral and less oriental. The orange blossom is the strongest note in this, mixed with a noticeable softness from the ylang-ylang. Only a hint of tuberose is detectable. It has that creamy root-beer quality that the original has, but it takes on more of an orangey-vanilla feel here.

I would guess this is more wearable for those who find the original too strong or unusual. Personally, I love the original. Although this one is beautiful, I can’t see myself choosing it over the original. I love the bitter spice, exotic woods, and intense vanilla of Hypnotic Poison. The qualities I love about it are softened, subdued and muted here. As a stand-alone fragrance, this is gorgeous. But it doesn’t outdo the original Hypnotic Poison for me!

I didn’t find the original to be overly loud or obnoxious, so I didn’t see any need to “tone it down.” All in all, Eau Sensuelle is beautiful. But as long as I have the original Hypnotic Poison available to me I don't know if I will feel the need to buy a bottle.

The top notes and those a bit further are so blissfully orange blossomy with some intriguing cacao feel - a soft smile in Pure Poison Elixir direction, voluptuously enveloping so you melt, that was a big hook, catch, lasso whatever... Then the scent started reminding of another new scent by the same perfumer, great, now I have a choice. And then - ouch! - it turned into regular Hypnotic Poison drydown with persistent vanilla excessive something in its base... lucky I got the sample.

Well, I still find it a rather enticing relative of HP. But in the matter of a choice, J’adore L’or for me please. It feels like the creamy hypnotic equator of Eau Sensuelle…

Wonderful and very very POWDERY - I feel thick TONKA scent, although there is no any of it. It's just creamy vanilla that makes powdery effect. I love this edition, it's more wearable than first Hypnotic Poison. There's no sweetness, and I like it, but there is milky softness, ideal for winter time.

This is GREAT choice for people who can't handel the orginal HP if it's too strong for them. If you're expecting another heavy scent, you won't meet your expectations 100% with this becuase it's a bit lighter, and more gentle. I for one like both sprays....I use them at diff. times when I'm in diff. moods. I LOVE creamy and floral stuff...and this fragrance just combines it together. Soooooo hot and addicting i luv it.

Sometimes in life you have to ask yourself "WHY??"

This is the vibe I get whenever I see the tester for Hypnotic Poison Eau Sensuelle.

This is Hypnotic Poison toned of all its glory. It resembles a dirty sheet over which someone kept orange blossom and a rather dry, nutty vanilla. It never gets as sultry as the original and neither do I get the sweet, almost cloying vanilla with an almond accord that just controls the fragrance from being "Too much".

This fragrance is on the lines of Pure Poison, like a white floral but the nutty and extremely harsh vanilla keeps it from being "Too happy". It does nothing like prancing like ballerina, who, in my opinion would be the ideal wearer of Pure Poison, but it does nothing but sit and try to be pretty. *pretty ugly*

At the end, I get an extremely disturbing sherbet powder mixed with rotten vanilla which I recall smelling in Calvin Klein's Euphoria. I am definitely not wasting my precious money on this strangled, hissing orange getting ensnared by the dry, powdery and dusty vanilla.

I can't be sure about this perfume. for me it starts out very powerful and beautiful, the complete drydown is soft but yet still strong. in between is what's troubling me. it has that play dough smell to my nose, a bit overkill with vanilla. mom said it smelled like ben-gay. I cracked up. though I can't say it is as bad as my mom makes it to be, it is a bit hard to wear. I felt like something was cooking :D I'm not very familiar with original hypnotic poison but if it's even heavier and vanilla bomb than this, then I'm sure it won't be my cup of tea. though it is very different and I would like to have it (the bottle is so beautiful!)

I just received my Hypnotic Poison-Sensual in the mail yesterday at a super cheap price from Fragrance.net. I sprayed it on at 6:00 a.m. before I left to work, and now at 4:00 p.m., I can still smell it on my wrist. Wow, this scent has longevity! It's a very nice scent and sweeter than the original hipnotic poison. It was worth my money.

I have the edt version and it's beautiful... spiceiness is wonderful it's smooth, yummy, one of the greats, however I think that midnight poison is more for me, would like to swap my version for the other :)

Christian Dior's answer to a warmer-climate-friendly version of the original Hypnotic Poison. Also a better option if you liked the original but found it too harsh. Great for day or night and all seasons, but I wouldn't wear this one on hot days. Personally, I probably wouldn't wear this during the day at all...it's abit too 'femme fatale' to pull off casually and will require dressing up, but that's just me, I'm the boring good girl-next-door LOL. It is softer, slightly sweeter and more floral than the original. The base is less darker and less woodsy as well. However they are still very similar scents, with the same herbaceous-vanilla, 'rootbeer-float' feel. Inspite of being softer than the original, it lasts longer on my skin, which is great, I get a good 8-10 hours with Eau Sensuelle, compared to around 5-6 hours with the original. On my wish-list, but I have enough perfumes for now.

This is the only oriental floral fragrance I love & I can wear ;-)

First time I sprayed it, I thought it was bit strong, comparing to fragrances I use. (I am floral-woody-musk lover)
Later on though something about that fragrance was so captivating, catching my attention, wanting me to smell it more and more.

It's different from most scents in that category. They are heavy, laud, bit obnoxoius to my nose.

This one is just sensual, loud and quiet at the same time, elegant and sexy.

Vanilla is in the lead. I would say I could detect a bit of white chocolate in there. And maybe some flowers and bit of woodsy notes hidind there ;-)

Silage is very good.

Just perfect composition!

I can't help it, but this smoky vanilla makes me think of a closet in old attic. Dry, dark, confined space filled with vintage is what came to my mind. It's almost dusty smelling and very sweet at the same time. It wouldn't be entirely unpleasant if it wasn't so heady due to the powerful extra sweet vanilla.
I think that Dior fragrances in general are not well balanced these days. A pity they reformulated their classics, Diorissimo, Diorella, etc. Miss them.

One of my favourite scents and I can't wait to have another gorgeous bottle of it again!

I'm a big fan of Oriental Florals but this to me is more like an Oriental Vanilla. The design house Dior is a favourite also. Hypnotic Poison Eau Sensuelle is one of those perfumes you can afford to wear as a daytime fragrance especially in autumn or winter. The main vanilla note hasn't been sweetened which is great!!! Instead ylang-ylang, tuberose and orchid harmonize with the vanilla to give it that mature, sexy sensual nature to it. It's not as bold as Hypnotic Poison but it does have excellent longevity.

From start to finish this fragrance is elegant, feminine and enchanting. Well worth the spend.

9/10

Smells like candy floss and bubblegum...

now THIS poison is EXACTLY what i was so anxiously looking for in the "normal" hypnotic, but could never find. looks like i was not the only one... ;) well.... NOW the composition is finished! and its perfect!

I fell in love with this at first smell, even though I do like to wear strong, oriental types most of all. As people have pointed out, it is more floral than the original HP but those floral notes are all rich, luxurious blankets that wrap you with their warmth. Even so, it is a fragrance that can be used any time and for me personally, the silage is excellent.
I disagree with people who are saying that this fragrance is not seductive. It isn't blatantly sexy as some fragrances can be but it is subtly and undoubtedly sensual. My husband can't get close enough when I'm wearing it, he's practically tipped me off the edge of the bed before now, snuggling up to smell it on my neck!

I suppose the beauty of this fragrance is simply in the nose of the "be-sniffer" ;)

Lets compare l'eau sensuelle with the original Hypnotic Poison. L'eau is better melted, more sensual and more elegant. Its brigher and the vanilla is less gourmand (positive). Where Hp is dark, l'eau is sparkling. Simply , a better version. Much better.

i love it and so does anyone else that smells it on me,. buy it, you wont regret it i promise.

Simply...BEAUTIFUL ! :)

After 6 months of coveting this fragrance I Finally made my purchase!
I am so pleased with it. for me it is like being enveloped in an exotic cloud of vanilla, orchid and orange blossom.
This fragrance lasts forever! I remember spritzing some in my hair once and I could detect it on my hair clip 2 months later.
My husband loves it too.. he cant tell the difference between red and pink lipstick or if im actually wering makeup for that matter but told me this had gotten better and better on my skin as the hours passed. (if my neanderthal is impressed this must be special :)
EDIT: I forgot to mention... Monica Belucci.. I need not go further, but I will. Wow! I believe her to be the most beautiful and sensual and sexy woman in media today and she is effortless in being so. She suits this exotic liquid very well. :)

Just received my bottle today from the Dior website. This scent is so beautiful!

The opening of this smells somewhat tropical, with fruity notes and orchid. And the vanilla is already present. As it wears the tuberose comes forward, buffeted by more vanilla and then more vanilla. It is very creamy, you can tell that there is ylang ylang in there. You do get a hint of sandalwood in there and the musk does make an appearance but really this is all about the vanilla, syrupy and entwined in the tuberose. This is quite heavy handed and completely over powered the Shalimar Parfum Initial that I was wearing on my other wrist. Great sillage though. I would say this is more of an oriental vanilla.

i didnt like the original hypnotic poison at all, i thought it was so bad i just wanted to wash my skin with bleach when i got home, i am a massive fan of florals though, and when i read the notes for this one i had to go test it out..

LOVED the top notes, simply loved loved loved them.. Ylang ylang and orange blossom soo lovely it wasnt sickly sweet but a very crisp clean sweet, middle notes were just soo fresh but still florally sweet if that makes sense, nothing like the fruit salad that HP had it smelt nothing like the original until the base notes hit, very creamy, can smell the musk not so much sandalwood but more vanilla but thats on my skin, everyone experiments differently but i honestly dont mind this scent at all.

Its not at all a "sexual" perfume, as its not so seductive?? i guess.. its just a very elegant and classy kind of smell.. I wouldnt use this to attract my husband to bed, but more of a daytime wear for work or lunch with friends..

Its not a bad perfume at all, i really like the top and middle notes, not so pleased with the musk base note but dont mind the vanilla smell, but i still love the top notes, i would def buy it for cold winter days..

The bottle is so sexy, and the face of this perfume is the beautiful monica bellucci, who is very sexy, indeed one of my idols, i think they meant this to be sexy but its just didnt go that far.. IMO..

This perfume is so hot words cant describe it oh Dior you've done it again

I cannot wear the original hypnotic poison-it really gets nauseating on my skin! Eau sensuale however is incredibly easy to wear while maintaining some of the sweet gourmand vanilla almond qualities of HP..the florals are subtle but seem to smooth down the harsh edges..it is actually quite subtle but delicious. Very warm and yummy without offending those around you!

never thought I would like this!according to the notes it's somthing I should run from,but it's so pleasant to me.floral and sweet without being heavy and overwhelmingly floriental!
it's very different from the origin hypnotic poison,less spicy and more sweet.tuberose and vanilla are easily detecable.I also smell some woody notes that I thought it would be vetiver.it's much sweeter than the original one,maybe too floral.totally I can summerize it in two words:SWEET FLOWERS

Smelling this perfume lingering on my skin as I woke up today pushed me to write about it. Of course its the floral version of Hypnotic Poison (which I love,but its impossible to wear but in winter unless you plan to suffocate someone and yourself).

To my nose this perfume isn't linear at all, it bursts with bright zesty orange flowers, ylang ylang and vanilla orchid then it morphs into a candied floral bouquet till it settles to vanilla orchid musky mixture that it lasts up to two days on my skin and forever on my clothes.
As the name suggests its very sensual and the third perfume I encountered that has the power to make men literally follow you around intrigued by the scent, so needless to say it's an instant turn on for men, it gives the impression of luxury, class, femininity and NOT in a cheap look at me I'm easy manner.
It's a warm sweet scent but doesn't give you toothache.
It has a great silage and it fares well under all seasons, I took it with me on a recent beach vacation and I loved wearing it to party at night.
It will also make a great choice for a Hypnotic Poison fan who misses her fix during the warmer months and as well for for someone's who couldn't handle the strength of the original.

it stays for hours.. even after 8 hours I get compliments.

if you like the original hypnotic poison, you´ll like this one too. quite similar but lighter and fading away more quickly. like the eau sensuelle- but love the original because of the lily of the valley acchord :-)

I have to add that it fades away too quickly. It's already almost gone after 2 hours.

This is a rather tender but sweet perfume. You have to come close to someone to smell it. It smells like candy and vanilla. It's a gourmand scent, I would say. I think it's a bit romantic and I see young girls wearing this. It's nothing for me. Reminds me a little of Parisienne.

oh how i love this perfume.i have always loved the original one but this one is even more gorgeous !! i will be wearing this for a very very long time..think its actually my all time favourite (and thats saying something ) my 4 year old daughter wants to smell it all day too hahaha she has great taste eh :0)

I'm so happy i tried this! i really like the original but it's to strong for me and i always get headache but this one is a lighter version of the original HP and this doesn't give me a headache.. finaly a HP for me!

When I wore the original Hypnotic Poison my husband asked me why I wanted to smell like a fairycake. All men love vanilla? Myth busted!

So I tried Eau Sensuelle. It is more "floral" but not in a pretty floral way. It's deep and it is sensuelle - I'd love to know which notes create that dusty effect because I love it. The vanilla is not so pronounced but still detectable.

It's one of my top 5 and likely to stay that way for a long long time. Adore it!

I love this parfume, it´s really similar like Hypnotic Poison, but for me, this one is more delicated, sweet, mystic...great for evening...like a drug for the others :)

Love this perfume. I prefer this to the original HP which was too strong imo. HPS is very sweet, soft, feminine and sensual and even though it is only an Edt it stays on the skin for hours and hours.

My absolute favourite poison, closely followed by Pure.

9/10

Sometimes in life you have to ask yourself.. WHY?! This is one of those times. My experience with this particular fume was not @ all pleasant! So the packaging & the bottle are both very nice. & I must admit I did NOT have high expectations of this flanker & I am glad I didn't! This is basically Hypnotic Poison toned down of all it's glory. I personally think the orange blossom ruins it & morphs the fragrance into something totally different. That's what they were aiming for? Of course, was it ideal? Not to me.

It does not fit me at all. It's on the lines of Pure Poison. Like a beautiful flower that you are expecting to morph into something stunning, yet does nothing but just sits there & tries to be pretty. That's the overall feeling I get from this. It is a 1 dimensional fragrance with no appeal. It's very youthful & should appeal to those young lady's or even teenagers.

This does NOT last more than 4 hours on me before I am left with a very faint artificial undertones of vanilla ice cream mixed with orange sherbert. Not bad, but not appealing especially coming from Dior. This shouldn't have been a flanker of Hypnotic Poison, but instead should have been it's own little creation called Eau Sensuelle! Drop Poison because it DOES NOT deserve to carry that part of the name.

Dior is slowly destroying the Poison line up before are eyes with MESS like this. They drop Tendre Poison & bring this out? HA! Well I can't wait to find out what else they have in store for the Poison lovers. Hopefully the next time Dior will take notes & it will be as ground breaking as the original Poison & Midnight Poisons were! Those are tough acts to follow, especially the original, but Dior is known for making ground breaking fumes. Not contraption such as this!

I figured it out ! This eau sensuelle is very much alike Bali Dream by estee lauder . Dont't you think so ? Very powerful resemblance , quite exotic this one too ..as i said before .

This variant of hypnotic poison is the only one i can tolerate . It is flowery , yet it has in the opening the same smoky effect , but without that artificial development . It is a good perfume that lasts hours and hours .

I have tried this several times. Truth is I did not like it much. Maybe it is not reacting good with my skin, but the thing is that it is totally unintesting to me. I could not trace the wet wood undertones, the fluffy vanilla and the discreet coconut that I really liked in the first Hypnotic Poison.

The bottle is really beautiful though!

Mirror mirror on the wall, who is the most beautiful of all?- Asked the stepmother in her long purple dress-
Snow White is the most beautiful in the kingdom-said the mirror.
She took the poisoned red apple from her dressing table,slowly removed the red top and sprayed it generously on her neck.
I have changed my mind-Said the mirror-You are the most beautiful of all.
Sometimes is such good fun to be a wicked woman!

Bought this yesterday and it is as another said a tarter version of orginal HP .I perfer this one . Reminds me ever so slightly of dkny red delicious ...but not in a sickly artifical way , and its for just a moment , then its orchid , lilly and vanilla that lasts and lasts .
well worth buying .

similar to the original but without coconut.

this smells very similar to the discontinued scent Secondscent by Ted Baker. this very particular aroma from hypnotic poison seems to be anis, even if not listed here it has to be in it.
it's very familiar to hypnotic poison but it's the lightweight version of it, not that sweet and bold. good for daytime wear and sumernights out. i love it as i love my signature scent für warmer month Secondscent by Ted Baker. not worthy to have both as they are indeed very close to each other. that's why i wouldn t buy this one but wouldn t mind someone would gift it to me :P smells very elegant and luxury and the bottle is a dream (love the bloody red in combination with the deep purple) <3<3<3

I have tried this one several times now and it keeps growing on me. Not yet to the point that I want to buy it (partly because I've just purchased 3 other perfumes), but I can definitely see myself possibly wearing it in the future. I smell almonds in this perfume although they are not among the notes listed. Strage... Lasts exceptionally long, very impressed with that.

I find some similarities with Fire & Ice (Revlon) at the dry down stage. Can't detect even the slightest resemblance to Kenzo Amour (which I own and love).

Honestly I`ve expected that this would be even more intense and strong than original Hypnotic.One sniff was enough for me to make sure that I`ve wrong.Eau sensuelle is softer and not that hard sweet like Hypnotic.I think it would be great for those of you,who find Hypnotic very strong and powerfull.

This is one of the beautiful perfume! It is rich, warm, less spicy, feminine, seductive and sensual. Hypnotic, yes it is! Modern, classy and mysterious. This perfume has an excellent staying power on my skin. Very impressive! A big thumbs up! I love this one! I really do!

This is my second review about this beauty. For months I have been spraying testers on my wrists to see if it suits my skin chemistry. Like what I have written before, I really can smell rootbeer from it. My husband doesn't like that fact, but for some reason I love it! Finally I bought my own bottle last week and when I first used it the smell of rootbeer is not prominent anymore, ylang ylang is suddenly more distinctive. I am not sure why, but I heard from a friend working for a perfume shop that testers are really more concentrated and are stronger than the ones you can purchase. But nevertheless,I still love it. And the lasting power is so amazing albeit it's an EDT. It is nice to spray it on the hair and even though you wash it, you can still smell it!

This is the best Hypnotic poison.
It's very powerful with great aura, less sweet, more on the orchid and less on the vanilla side. Cozy, alluring, warm, seductive and sensual as only red can be ;)

The bottle is a real peace of art.
Love it. ❤

This is similar to the Hypnotic, but undoubtedly NOT identical. This is fruity and green, like a tart version of the original . The tartness reminds me of the tartness in Jessica Simpson Fancy in the opening all the while still holding that classic hypnotic scent and the muskiness of Posion Tendre in the drydown. very interesting. If you love or even like Posion Tendre and adore the Hypnotic , you will absolutely love this treat! I never new my favorite perfume in the whole world,could smell so different yet capture the same scent as hypnotic! Job well done, I am in love with this one and wouldn't trade it for the world!

dunno why i can't find this perfume in Asia, can't find it online too...very disappointing...want to test it so badly...:((

My Hubby got this for me yesterday and I'm Sooooooooo in Love with this Sparkling Red Beauty...:) really sensual,feminine & sexy ...The warmth of the Vanilla note, hint of Orange ,sandalwood and Rose.. this will definitely take you to a romantic world... Everything is perfect here.. Not too much..Not too less... Thanks Dior... So far this is my favorite from Dior

I don't agree with the Kenzo Amour comparison. KA is very gentle, refined and tendre. It really has a felling of Japan to it. Hypnotic Poison Eau Sensuelle is nice but for me it has no tenderness, the vanilla is louder and ylang-ylang makes it sharp. I do like it but not enough to buy it. And, of course, I love Kenzo Amour more.

This smells like root beer, I don't understand why everyone loves it. I like root beer but I don't want to smell like it. I like Pure Poison the best out of all the Poison's.

Hi!! I want to try a new parfum, but I haven´t decide yet: 212 vip or Hipnotic poison sensualle?? I´m 20 and want a sexy and daring fragance, but youth. which of them could you recommend me?

After some minutes it becomes a stronger version of Kenzo Amour, like opening a bottle of vanilla for cooking. After some hours it turns into a vanilla milk smell.

I like this one better that the Original Hypnotic poion, because it i really sensual :) feminine, sexual, soft...

I tried it today and I was not at all impressed. It is quite similar to Hypnotic Poison although less spicy and more floral, too sweet and generally speaking boring and not sensuelle at all.It sure does last long, though.

ROOTBEER??!!?? Did I hear someone saying it smells like rootbeer??

Well it does, but I don't know why I love it on my skin.

I tried spraying it on my skin awhile ago, and I really love the sweet smell of this. It's not sweet in the sense that it is cloying, I find this a really pleasant and feminine smell.

I so hate loud and attention seeking perfumes that are selling nowadays and thank God there are still new perfumes like this that are very gentle and yet very impressive....

For those of you who have smelled this on paperstrips and decided you don't want to smell like rootbeer, before closing your doors to this lovely perfume,try it on your skin first! Based on my experience, I totally changed my impression on this perfume when I tried it on my skin!!

Love DIOR perfumes!! This is definitely next on my "to buy" list...

This is very very similar to original HP, vanilla is again in the centre, most dominant note in Eau Sensuelle, like it is in original.

And, the differences...

Original HP is more spicy, sometimes plasticky / play doughy for some, definitely stronger and can be annoying if over applied..

HP Eau Sensuelle is less spicy, stronger on the floral side, especially the orchid is very dominant (vanilla orchid is awesome in this).
This is closer to be a skinscent, it can be part of you, smells very natural.

Finally all notes fade and vanilla orchid stays in a soft and natural way...

Personally I prefer this one over HP.

Reminds me of kenzo amour

First of all, for the record I used to love the old Hypnotic Poison from '98.

Even though it is one of my favorite fragrances, i have to say that it was not very 'user friendly'. Unfortunately, over time, it has lost it's attraction because many women didn't know how to wear it to a point where it became a Poison that was everything but Hypnotic. Therein lies the art of wearing a perfume. One can not build a presence or allure by wearing a strong perfume. The perfume should compliment a person's character.

The high pitched notes were overwhelming at times.
Demachy has, to my opinion, improved the old version by making it more sophisticated, wearable and easily adaptable to different skins.

It's warm, tantalizing and finds a perfect spot on a woman's skin where with her natural body temperature it appears out of nowhere to tease you asking for more.

It's much more subtle and feminine than the older version, which unfortunately is sometimes overpowering and can even appear as tacky or cheap on some women (usually the type of women who try to create a presence by using tons of heavy perfumes such as "Angel").

This is indeed a sensual version of Hypnotic Poison. It's soft, intriguing, extremely feminine and enchanting. What more could one ask for?

It seems that Dior is a kind of feast or famine house - or they produce masterpieces, daring compositions, or they made ones so forgettable that they seem made for body lotions, deodorants, fabric softners. Hypnotic Poison Eau Sensuelle is on the second group, a generic fragrance that could be perfect in a fancy deodorant that tries to copy the original Hypnotic Poison. In fact, it`s smells like a bad and cheap dupe of the original Hypnotic Poison.
There`s nothing Hypnotic here, neither sensuelle. It`s a sedated Hypnotic Poison confection, with everything of the original in less: no almonds, less vanilla, less sweet, less interesting. They have put a generic air room refreshener aroma of flowers in the place of the almonds at the opening.
It seems to last less too and to have less sillage. A pointless composition.

Francois Demachy is officially my favourite nose for the time being. He achieved the impossible.

He managed to make a fine fragrance out of a messy, although highly popular, composition which I personally hate, meaning the 98's Hypnotic poison.

Demachy is leaving his olfactory mark all over Dior and practically expresses or reinterprets the house singlehandedly at the moment.

His Eau sensuelle interpretation:spares the coconut (thank God), glorifies the orange flower absolute (yes Francois,I love you)and brightens things up with the green notes. All that without being unfaithful to the original idea.

I don't know how he did it.
We're talking mission impossible.
Congratulations.

I was expecting a very rich and sensual fragrance but instead I got a fragrance I could barely smell. I sprayed in on my pulse points and my clothes and it's very soft. As far as the smell it does smell similar to the original but very faint and the lasting power is very poor. I was very dissapointed in this one.

I tried on a strip today. Smells pretty much like the original, but softer.
Since I love HP, I bought it.

I TESTED IT TODAY AND I WAS VERY EXCITED WHEN I SAW IT, HOWEVER IT DIDN'T IMPRESS ME TO THE MAXIMUM LIKE I WAS EXPECTING. I WANTED A STRONGER AND DEEPER SCENT BUT THIS FRAGRANCE IT'S TOO SOFT AND THE DRYDOWN IT'S VERY SIMILAR TO THE ORIGINAL.WHEN I FIRST SPRAYED IT IT WAS MORE FRESH. I WILL TEST IT AGAIN JUST TO MAKE SURE BECAUSE I LOVE THE BOTTLE BUT I WILL NOT SPEND THE MONEY FOR A SIMILAR SCENT.

well well well!
what can i say about this master piece?
it is absolutly perfect!
stars spicy and floral, and then it becomes sweter and gourmand! absolutly beautiful and sexy.
however i do understand why so many hp's lovers are disliking this one - it still has some fine connection betwen the other flankers, but this one is more floral and gourmand.

however it is not a an artificial gourmand... i would even say it wasnt constructed to be gourmand-ish (for e.g. like nu by ysl, it's an oriental, but it's such a well made perfume, that it gets a little bit sweet):
- it's the beautiful orchide flower ( i would even say from madagascar), that has those specific characteristics: it gives that little ilussion of caramel, however in a very subtle smell, and the vanilla might help forcing this side.

so people that trully admire HP flankers but cannot wear them, (like me) THIS IS A PERFECT BLIND BUY :D

p.s. let's not even talk about sillage and lasting power, because i have a strip paper in my bedbroom, and i can thank dior for helping sleep for the last 4 days :D

I didn't think I could tell that about an Hypnotic Poison or any Poison that is not good original purple Poison in Esprit form, but I like it!
I hope that many HP lovers will switch to this one.
I'm not sure if I would have found it pleasant years ago or if I like it just because I got used to ubiquitous HP and this one comes as a relief!
Eau Sensuelle is nice smelling, floral, almondy, vanillic but not a killer as the first one! I can't stand that and I almost fainted the first time I smelled that plastic vanilla nuclear bomb, but Eau Sensuelle is smoother and fresher at the same time. Orange blossom smells so good, even if Eau Sensuelle stills smells very perfume-y compared to a few niche orange flower scents.
It's not totally different from HP, but the atrocious notes are maybe tamed down, yet it is a sensual scent in a modern way. Not just a flanker, maybe a new way of wearing HP without killing people around.

Ailimeavolokin said it truthfully, this is a paler version of the original Hypnotic Poison.

All that bold vanilla and play-dough has been taken away and replaced with soft florals and subdued vanilla. They perhaps made the original more wearable and casual, however in my opinion they made it boring.

Hypnotic Poison was never my favourite in the Poison series, I much preferred the richer Poison, Midnight Poison and Tendre Poison. To make a lighter version of any of those three fragrances would be an outrage, why did they assume that making a softer version of Hypnotic Poison was going to be well-received?

I'm a young woman that likes to make a statement with the fragrances I choose to wear. Hypnotic Poison eau Sensuelle is neither head-turning or overly sensual in my opinion. I would wear this fragrance perhaps as a bed-time scent or to a picnic in the park.

The sillage is extremely intimate and soft, and the lasting power, while satisfactory, could have lasted a little longer.

In conclusion all I can say is for those that like to wear bold fragrances, stick to the original. For those shy perfume wearers, Hypnotic Poison eau Sensuelle could be the perfect scent for you, especially if you found the original to be too strong.

It is hypnotic poisons dry vanilla with a liiiiitle sour note. That sounds like a birthdaycake gone bad, but it really is nice actually. The original is somewhat more powdery and soft in the drydown... I wouldn't even call eau sensuelle a lighter version, just because on my skin, it has better staying-power than the original! But an easier to wear-version? Probably...

I like it a lot,very much the same scent as HP but as said before,much more lighter.More flowery and nice for daytime during winter.The bottle is of course beyond beautiful.I would like to have a bottle of it.

Ive tested this one today,and I cant smell much differance from the original. This one is a bit lighter and flowery.
Just a lighter version of the original.

HPS...smells quite the same as the original HP , it's just more flowery, less strong and intense, a "watery" version of the first one !
More easy to wear and more "lumineux "!
Even if i'm not a fan of HP , i must say that it's way more intruiging and better than this new version !!!

Soo...i will pass this one ...;(...As i passed the First !;(

Fantastic strength, sensual to the marrow!
Opens with a somewhat sharp note of many flowers, then hushes a bit, then some of the flowers surface again and surrender- finally- to the rose and vanilla!
Sprayed it on at an airport, the comparison with the original Hypnotic poison feels as if you are having a plain crepe when you can have one with syrup and ice-cream and nuts topping it!
Must be the individual chemistry but ...
a definite MUST BUY :)
And Monica Belucci can't have been the better face advertizing it!!!

Hypnotic Poison Eua Sensuelle isn't sensual,at least to me, it isn't. It's just a big floral with a little bit original Hypnotic Poison's almond hint.
If you don't enjoy the original one, but likes Alien by TM, maybe this one can get away with it; if you don't like sweet floral, maybe the red bottled poison just not really for you.

Ok, the scent itself, it starts with some sweet sweet floral fruity notes, not the fresh modern pink teen type of floral fruity, but a more synthetic in sweetness, so powerful that can penetrate. I guess it's a weird combo of orchid and other heady white flowers. It reminds me a lot of Alien's heady sweet jasmine. The good news is, there's some creamy vanilla and almond to balance it out.

After 10-20 minutes, the sweet flowers get really in-you-face aggressive. If you enjoyed Alien, maybe you will like this.

When it dries down, it gets less aggressive, the vanilla, almond hint here is just great, not as weird as that in the original one, and finally the nice sensual vanilla comes out, which is the highlight of this perfume. Somehow I would think this is a sister of Tom Ford Black Orchid's sister.

I find this one settels on my skin more easily than the original one, and I like the dry down a lot, but the path getting there is just too painful.

A pale version of the original Hypnotic Poison. Less vanilla, less almonds, some weird fruitiness, too much sweetness. It lacks character and seductiveness. I was eager to try it, but I won't spend my money for it.

Just tested this for 2 days in a row and it smells better on me than the original, which has a kind of artificial coconut plastic smell which isn't very hypnotic to me. Sensuelle is similar in some way because vanilla is still the star here as in the original but this composition is more powdery and creamy vanilla dusted flowers. I like it smells yummy with a slight touch of sophistication. GOOD!

i love the original...a bit scared to try this one ..don't want to hate it, hope would like it...the weather here isbeyond humid too...hope it will go well with it...can't wait to try it...

i was so surprised when i so a bottle on the shelve today.. perfumes normally get here months after the official release.
and i was so exited! hypnotic is one of my favorites and a long anticipated gift that was given to me not very long ago. but even a lover of it like me can't bear it on a 30c/90F 70% humidity weather we get here..
only one spray of Sensuelle on the wrist. hmmm... like the orighinal.. but.. lighter?.. not that you less notice it.. but more like.. it floats around you in a very gentle way.
other then that, to my non professional nose it's the same. less vanillay and foody.. but pretty much the same. it's about 7.5 hours later and it's just started to disappear, and that's great in this heat.
maybe i just wasn't paying enough attention to the notes and the phases. i'll have to try it again.

I have never liked Hypnotic poison so this is maybe a chance to fall in love with this version. I love florals!! This one and Belle de opium are killing my curiosity!!! Cant wait till september!

I think it should have another name. Hypnotic Poison is sensual by itself.

PS: WHO'S taking my balloons away? LOL
