Midnight Poison Elixir

Midnight Poison Elixir by Dior is a rich, darkly sweet gourmand oriental with a dominant patchouli base layered over caramel, vanilla, rose, and amber. It evokes a warm, velvety warmth that feels both luxurious and intense, with a complex evolution from a bold opening of patchouli and amber to a soft, slightly sticky dry down. The fragrance is notably sillage-heavy and long-lasting, making it ideal for winter evenings or special occasions rather than daytime or warm weather use. It carries a mysterious, nocturnal elegance—polarizing for some, deeply beloved by others—and while it lacks the sharp, green-edged intensity of the original Midnight Poison, it offers a smoother, more comfortingly sweet interpretation that suits those drawn to darker, more sensual scents. The bottle itself is considered elegant and striking, though its atomizer is frequently reported to leak or evaporate quickly, leading to frustrations among collectors.
