Hypnotic Poison Extrait de Parfum is a rare, opulent reinterpretation of Dior's iconic Hypnotic Poison, offering a deeper, more intense experience than any other version. It is best described as a powerful, seductive fusion of ripe fruits, dark florals, and a soft, caramel-honey vanilla that balances sweetness without becoming cloying. The vanilla is integrated seamlessly with jasmine, rose, and white floral notes, creating a velvety, lush texture. A nuanced bitter-sweet freshness arises from the white florals and hint of soapy, chilly bitterness, lending sophistication and preventing heaviness. The scent feels magnetic and unforgettable, like a glamorous winter night close to skin, with a low-key but noticeable sillage that lingers long after wear. It carries an aura of mystery and allure—intensely feminine yet not overly sweet—and is most comfortable and effective in colder months. While it lacks the bold projection of some extrait perfumes, it remains deeply personal and long-lasting on skin, with reports of scent detectable for over 24 hours, even on fabric. This version is highly prized, especially by collectors and enthusiasts who have found this version nearly impossible to obtain. It is not available widely, with brief availability in limited international markets and mostly through private sellers. Despite some users reporting disappointment with longevity, many emphasize the emotional and sensory richness of the fragrance, describing it as the most authentic expression of Hypnotic Poison ever created, closer to the vintage 1998 EDT than any other. Its rarity and concentration make it a coveted treasure.
