Midnight Poison (for women)
Designer: Dior Olfactive Group: Oriental WoodyMore than twenty years since creation of legendary Poison, Dior is launching the fifth of the Poison range, Midnight Poison. John Galliano's inspiration for visual image of this perfume is the fairytale of Cinderella, brought to life by the French actress Eva Green. The mystery starts when the clock beats midnight, and she is disappearing in the haze. The colors of the flacon are cobalt and ultramarine blue, and it is designed to be reminiscent of Cinderella's dress.
The new Dior's poison is opening with citrus notes of mandarin and bergamot to the rose heart, and patchouli, amber and French vanilla in the base. The creators of Midnight Poison are Jacques Cavallier, Olivier Cresp and Oliver Cresp of Firmenich in collaboration with Francois Demachy of LVMH.
Midnight Poison is a new fragrance and it was introduced in 2008.

It would be much better if it could get rid of this sour smell that doesn't match with the rest of the notes at all. Other than that, it's not bad at all..

At the beginning, this smell a lot of pachouli for my nose, not too citrus (nice!)... not too "midnight"... not very pleasant at all for me.
But... the dry down... yesss :) Its sensual and attractive, the amber in this its very pleasant, delightful!.
For my taste, its not like a dark midnight... its more close to a starry evening wearing a beautiful veil :)

Everytime I put this one I get suprised of how nice a creation this is. You have to like patsjuli to like this one. The amber is lovely, almost juicy. The fragrance is heavy, but at the same time very fresh. It lasts a long-long-long time and it gets better by the hour. It is one of my favorites, but unfortunatly this one gives me headace once in a while (I am very sensitive).

It smells great, very enchanting, lovely and dark. I had the original poison but prefer this one. MIdnight Poison is different than the original more dark, seductive and modern. Just like the original this one doesn't lack in staying power.

Tell you the truth,I always hate original poison,it's a sillage monster and too much of everything.And it make me afraid of all poison line...until now.I read a lot of good reviews about Midnight Poison,which make me curious and want to try it.Wow! it's totally different.Midnight is powerful but elegance at the same time.For me it have a sharp "cool"scent in the opening and follow by sexy musky with a bit powdery in the end.This might be my first Poison that I could buy it!

What a bliss.
I thought i will never find anything more exciting than Gucci by Gucci, that would surround me with a smooth, smokey and creamy veil but this fragrance actually does it well.
Fruity and zesty in first notes, magically turns into an explosive and seductive mixture of patchouli and amber smoothed by soothing vanilla.
I guess Cinderella story promoting that scent was a perfect match.This fragrance turns into a fairytale like experience after few hours of wearing it.Love it!

After the first sharp, strong notes fade away all that remains is worthy of the name a midnight sonata of scents!!!
Like a queen of the night that blossoms only at the strike of midnight the scent is a bit spicy-minty to me, definetely smell the patcouli but somehow a bit smoky!!
In a word intoxicating!

i got this perfume this summer it reminds me somehow of dolce vita..has something in the base notes, but i passed to my mom out of respect it is so nice so wonderful and i believed it will be an ultimate gift for her:)
11/04/08 02:00:33
Can anybody tell me, if there´s really so much Patchouli in this? I mean, how strong does the Patchouli come out? I love Patchouli, and if MP has a lot of it, this might be my next buy.
10/27/08 12:55:38

So many different interpretations on this one. Hmm. I need more time to understand what's going on in this fragrance. So far I only notice patchouli, patchouli, patchouli. Perhaps tomorrow I'll detect more notes in it. Like that "dark rose" that Zoka mentions.
10/26/08 23:15:48

Today, I've smelled it for the first time.....only plums, sweet dark plums...very strange, and now I found out that there is no plum in the fragrance notes...
10/25/08 19:33:28

When I smelt it for the first time I said: "Oh my God! This is a great fragrance"...
It's intense, alluring, intoxicating, long lasting, luxurious, oriental and spicy in the same time, for evening use...
I like the mix between bergamot, rose, orange and patchouli...
This is A MUST perfume...

i use it for the fal/winter time, i think it suits quite good for bad weather, its warm and elegant and strong but doesent shout out and even if it overpowers other wont cause headacke
10/23/08 09:14:17

Finally, a worthy successor to the original Poison. Very dry patchouli, rose, and woods, the drydown is tres sexy. It's an elegant perfume best reserved for evenings. Go easy, though - this one could easily overpower everything around you!
10/23/08 03:11:54

This is wonderfull, very longlasting intoxicating winter scent with a sexy drydown
10/14/08 10:02:12
Very mistique and dark, but nice fragrance. Fresh at first and sweet erotic fragrance at last.
10/03/08 22:53:40
This is great perfume, when I tried him it was love on first sight. I like the fact that on my skin he is so dark and deep, not sweet and not masculine at all. Something in this perfume attract me so much. I have only 2 objection for him, he is not so lasting on me and he is skin perfume, he doesn't have aura. But in spite of this, this perfume is one of my favorite. To simplify, this perfume is me.
09/23/08 15:07:09
its very very strong and on me it smells sour :( but i feel its more better for old ladies than young girls
09/20/08 19:40:13
the best perfume ever!!! although I dont use it. It´s my mother´s favorite and its really fantastic.
08/30/08 06:32:54

First time i sprayed it on the testing paper it smelled like plasticine, but when i tried it on myself it smelled quite good, but i wouldnt have bought it, it was a gift for my mother but she didnt like it, on her it smelled like on the paper, but on me it was better, so now its mine;) and i like it though it cant be worn often because its not a very simple scent, not for everyday use
08/08/08 16:04:31
I bought this and I like it though its not my favourite. The initial smell to me is the burnt orange. But the dry down is lovely, I spray it on my bed to make my room smell gorgeous, you can smell it for days! What a waste, Dior on my Sheets!!!!!!!!!
08/08/08 08:45:57
Nothing special nor outstanding on this one but for my point of view, still tons better than the earlier version of the so called "Pure Poison", which to me is a real disaster made worst with a misfit name.
Lasting power is not there for me....

Love it! In my opinion it's the best poison fragrance. It's very strong, so apply it with a light hand. It's a perfect evening fragrance or a winter fragrance.

I bought this one from Sephora without even smelling it because it wasn't out in Canada yet. I just had to have it! It is a bit heavy at first. It's very spicy and has that spruce-beer-like quality that I like about Hypnotic Poison (just my nasal interpretation). It's a long-lasting scent with a very sexy, sophisticated dry down. A little goes a long way. I wouldn't wear this in the summer because it could be too heavy and leave you feeling a bit overwhelmed.
06/25/08 19:08:11
At first spray, it's not particularly attractive. However, if you give it a few minutes, it starts to soften and it loses its medicinal smell. It becomes quite attractive and sexy. Don't use too much because it's quite strong. If you want to make an impression, this is the perfume for you. It's on my "to buy" list.
05/10/08 19:11:10
Agreed, KeLLStar. I kept the card I sprayed it on, and by the next day, it smelled more floral, much less offensive, and I could no longer smell the strong patchouli and Ben-Gay. Thanks for listing the notes that assaulted me. It's good to know.
03/29/08 17:05:18

This first spray which I'm guessing is the patchouli/bergamot/orange smells rather like a sweet "Vicks Vapor Rub" - which might scare some people away. If you brave the "Vicks" out, it steps back, rewarding you with a beautiful soft floral, rose/vanilla scent.
This is not an everyday perfume for me but when I'm in the right mood - I absolutely love it! It's gorgeous for Winter or cooler days.
Definitely recommended!

I wanted to like this perfume, because the video on YouTube is so intriguing. But when I sprayed it on a card, it smelled like Ben-Gay. The lady at the counter warned me, "It smells better on skin than on the card, more musky." I think that was supposed to sell me, but it didn't. I want a scent to smell just as good on me as on my stationery! But I sprayed it on me anyway. Woo-ee! 'Didn't like it. 'Don't know what notes are in it. 'Just didn't like it. And then when I tried to wash it off. . . I was able to remove the Ben-Gay smell, but was left with nothing but patchouli which wouldn't come off with soap and water! (I hate patchouli!)
03/29/08 00:34:36
I can't feel any roses, the spices, amber and woods are too strong. But to some women it fits quite well.

The latest addition to the 'Poison' arsenal I tried out of curiosity is a surpise! Don't be taken in by this seemingly innocent 'infusion of rose, patchouli and amber' statement written in the advert and on the tester bottle. It is actually a quite complex, full-blown composition, which gives out its notes over time changing gradually from one to another, back and forth, while still retaining the same sweet - spicy -woody character. If you're interesed which notes I am talking about, here's what I can detect: fleety bergamot, oozing rose, patcholi and amber, at the base sweet and soft amber. So what you get is a velvety, slightly powdery spice bomb.. luxurious indeed!
It is a strong essence (eau de parfum) but much much lighter than any other 'Poison'. I mean lighter as in 'heaviness' not as in 'density'. In fact it doesn't resemble any 'Poison'. This perfume has its own character and would deserve its own name. The product is very-well marketed and would appeal to a wide audience. The price can be off-putting though as it is going at £29.99 per 30 ml eau de parfum in the high street.

Its dark and seductive, with masculine hint and spicy heart with specific notes of rose. Its perfect for midnight!
10/22/07 12:10:27
So... it is realy intensive and dark, but I dislike some gourmand note in the middle, rose is almost fruity sweet.
10/21/07 00:07:22
Never tried it but my friend ordered it and i cant wait to try it :)
10/17/07 19:36:25

Yes, it is good! i've tried to recognize the note of previous Poisons in it, but it suddenly became so dark and intriguing, with woodsy and spicy heart, and dark rose in it. It contains masculine note to highlight its femininity.
10/13/07 21:30:22
it's the sexiest fragrance i ve tried since a long time! looking forward to buy it!
