Created: 1985
For: Women
type: Floral - Orange Tuberose

Story

Poison is the first Christian Dior perfume that does not bear the creator's name. His aim was to create a provocative, dramatic impact, and it succeeded: the perfume drew an emotive reaction from the public."Perfume is a poison for the heart", wrote Paul Valéry. And this is precisely what this new perfume evokes, with its unsettling, charismatic and seductive fragrance which is difficult to ignore.The startling name, "Poison", expresses love and antagonism.

Description

This heady oriental perfume first grasps you with a fruity burst of orange blossom, followed by a spicy note of wild berries, Russian coriander and cinnamon from Ceylon.Sensuality reaches its climax in the end note composed of honey, amber, opoponax and Abyssinian musk.

Range

Bottle

Maurice Marinot, the master glassmaker of the 1920s, well known for his lavish colors, intriguing shapes and thick glass, designed and made the Poison bottle. A dark amethyst color gives Poison its enigmatic look. The rounded contours of the perfume bottle resemble those of an apple, with a gold-tipped cap topping the ensemble.
