A bright white floral with a clear citrus edge, Pure Poison is Dior's 2004 feminine fragrance, created by Dominique Ropion, Olivier Polge and Carlos Benaïm. Most people describe it as floral and citrus first, with a woody undertone that about two thirds of wearers notice; musk and amber sit further back.
The opening is juicy and sunny: Sicilian mandarin, orange and bergamot, with jasmine already present. The heart is where the white flowers take over, orange blossom and gardenia giving a creamy, slightly heady richness. The base settles into cedar and sandalwood for a smooth woody finish, softened by white musk and a light touch of white amber.
Wearers mostly report moderate longevity, though a good share find it long lasting, and the sillage is moderate with some calling it strong. It is voted for spring most often, with winter close behind, and leans towards daytime. That makes it a polished floral for office days and bright afternoons, with enough presence for an evening out.
