by Dior
Poison Girl Eau de Toilette by Dior opens with a bright, icy burst of citrus—bitter orange and lemon—that feels refreshingly crisp, fading into a warm, smooth blend of vanilla, caramel, and tonka bean. This is a gourmand fragrance with a soft, sweet, and slightly powdery character that becomes more intimate and enduring over time, with a base that feels like fondant or cream. While the initial citrus opens with a clear, audible freshness, it doesn't linger long; the fragrance quickly settles into a delicate, creamy, and vanilla-heavy drydown that is sweet but not overpowering. The sillage is moderate to strong in most wearings, but users report it dissipates quickly—especially on dry skin—and that it is often best perceived on clothing. It's ideal for spring and cool autumn days, with many finding it most fitting in fall and winter due to its warm, cozy quality. Though for many, it lacks strong depth and longevity compared to competitors, and some find it less complex than other Poison flankers. Still, it stands out as a wearable, sweet, and dramatically feminine fragrance that feels like a well-balanced, rose-tinged cream soda. While it's not ideal for hot weather—some find it brooding or cloying in summer—the revolution in its drying down might feel enough to transcend this limitation for many users.
