Hypnotic Poison (2014) Eau De Parfum

Simply sublime. First of all, it’s important to note that this EDP has absolutely nothing to do with the EDT - they’re two entirely different creatures. And to truly enjoy it, you must love licorice. A few years ago, I probably wouldn’t have liked it at all. But now? It’s an absolute 'coup de cœur', a real crush. This Hypnotic Poison is a thick, intoxicating venom, built around licorice and vanilla. It has a dangerous aura, yet it’s irresistibly alluring, sensual, and undeniably sexy. Like a poisoned apple you know you shouldn’t bite into, and yet you can’t help yourself. Its name and bottle couldn’t suit it more perfectly. I think it’s my favorite Poison, there’s something dark, unfathomable, almost esoteric about it. I’m completely obsessed.

A subtle, softly oriental vanilla in the opening. A composition of smooth, harmoniously blended notes, offering a sensual pleasure to wear. However, the longevity of the current version is almost fleetingly ethereal, even on fabric.
