SmokyWhat does Hypnotic Poison (2014) (Eau de Parfum) smell like?
Jasmine sambac absolute and orange blossom absolute form the floral heart, while vanilla and tonka bean sweeten it into something warm and powdery. Liquorice brings a spicy, faintly smoky edge, and woody and oriental accents round it out.
Its longevity and sillage are both rated strong. Most voters pick fall and winter, and evening and night out are the occasions it leans towards. Most read it as feminine. Givenchy Ange ou Démon and Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille have a close profile.
